Even Then or When Having No Secrets is a Good Thing

Even when I mumble
Even when I whine
Even when I stamp my foot
And refuse to try

Even when I’m quitting
And turn to go my way
Even when the pity party held
Is in my name

Even then You listen
And You never leave my side
Even then You love me
Because You know the Why

Mothers Day or A Place Like No Other

Todays about Mothers
Those here and those gone
To honor, remember and thank them for all

Beginnings don’t matter
The time, place or source
To love as a mother she made the choice

No matter how many

She holds in her heart
There’s a place never shared that was yours from the start

It’s all about you there

You are treasured and known
No matter the distance it is always your home

It’s filled with her prayers

Her hopes and her dreams
For your needs to be met and your goal’s to be reached

How can I be sure

That all this is true
I’m not just a daughter, I’m a mom too

Eyes of Grace

Hate the Sin and not the sinner

I was told when I found Grace
As He served so I could be His
I must serve to share His grace

How then do I hate the sin

If they think that I hate them
To let You judge and only love
Not to fear but just to care

I asked You to reveal the way

To reach their hearts and feel their pain
To stand on truth because it heals
And let them know your love is real

In Your Word there was a time

When men condemned someone to die
And you asked those who stood by
To cast a stone if sin denied

And when you wrote upon the sand

Not even one could raise a hand
They turned away and could not face
Their sinful hearts in need of grace

Then I remembered love that flowed

Still in my sin Your grace bestowed
On your forgiveness now I stand
No victory by my own hand

The pain, the lies, the circumstance

When I thought there was no chance
How can I hate or judge or shun
Those from the very place I’ve come

When in paradise by grace

Among the saved I see their face
How will I look them in the eye
If I know I passed them by

No difference here or there between us

It is Your Grace that has redeemed us
And Your Word that speaks the truth
Into our hearts and makes us new
