Jesus came so I would hear the Goodnews!
He has comforted and healed my broken heart!He has set me free from captivity- He has loosened me and let me out of prison!He has told me everything will be alright and that God sees everything, and that He Himself is LORD of ALL!
He has made my feet to dance and my lips love to rejoice in Him!
He has strengthened me in His Truth-
He is building me, raising me up and repairing my life, my self, my soul –
For His Glory and my Good!

When will you be happy?
When will you you have peace?
Where does your peace come from?
Are you thankful?
Are you happy?

Peace and hope
Can you step outside yourself –
And look at yourself?
Do you see what you need?
Can you see what I see?
Do you watch me fall? Can you hear my call?
I’m falling – my heart’s falling inside –
As I wipe my own eyes-
This place I’ve longed to see –
I put my faith with my patience – in love –
Like making a new color to see –
Or writing a new song to sing –
-trust isn’t always about the other person-
Relationships are not always only about me – or who “I” love
There is a divine purpose behind it all –
There is a reason- that is His Way.
Pray .
God will reveal Himself to those who pray.
And ask for Him.
Amen.
