RELATIONSHIPS

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

Our Personal Baggage

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

Be Filled, with Christ’s Love

Such love, that passes knowledge
With which, you may be filled
With all the fullness of God
Through His Spirit, be fulfilled.

Dealing with Difficult People

Learn from Jesus, He set boundaries
Offered help, if ears were open
From the Pharisees, to His disciples
With all, that He had spoken.

Not Focused on Church Buildings

Jesus finished, His atonement
Yet His ministry, was incomplete
Left His mission, disciple-making
We are commanded, to complete.

Will You Answer God?

O how selfish, and sinful
We keep God’s Word within
Are not praying and sharing
With our world, so full of sin.

God’s Pressure Cooker

God uses all ways
To turn up the heat
To soften our hearts
Our hardness, defeat.

He Fills My Cup

LORD God, fill my cup
In love chose to die
Living waters to give
That never runs dry.

Failing, Falling or Faith?

When we’re failing and falling
And we’re hitting, rock bottom
We can stand, on Christ Jesus
Our sure Rock, and still blossom.
