This image speaks to me, and in hearing, I see:
One moment from one season A glimpse of life despite winter’s intense passion Perhaps a sign for us to remind us to not give up the fight to keep going knowing if we hang in there a new day will arise Be stubborn in hope Be stubborn in faith Let not worry strip you Trust in God’s love and grace This moment may seem hopeless circumstance may be bringing you to your knees but if you don’t give up, if you don’t let go the new season will prove to bless you endlessly Until the new day dawns until the sun shines again look for the beauty amid the ruin This is not where your journey ends If you need a friend I’m here offering you my hand and my heart Lean upon my shoulder find rest in my arms Oh, how I want you to know that you are not alone Please, don’t give up don’t let go hold on to love hold on to faith hold on to hope… ~ Donna ~ "This too shall pass" That's what they say and I know it will I'll live to fight another day The sun will shine The moon will glow I will adjust and take hold of hope These tears will dry The right path will be made clear God will hear my cry for He holds me dear Darkness will give way to morning's brilliant light and God will do all He can to make all things right This, I know... :) I did it all for you
by Teo & Donna Bleeding on the inside marked by life and pain reaching for hope but fearing it's all in vain Kneeling; crying out seeking rest for a weary soul Can't go on; it's been so long since this bleeding heart held hope I couldn't see beyond my tears too much for me to understand I did not know I was still holding the hammer in my hand.I did not know that it was His heart breaking for me and bleeding His hands and feet I nailed it was my pain He was feeling "Guilty!" growled my troubled soul as an innocent man hung dying "Forgive me," I woefully groaned as I fell to my knees, crying "Guilty!" shouted my accuser and he handed me a rope "Go ahead you deserve to die For you there's no hope!"Walking away I heard a whisper and I turned around to see to whom the voice was calling and He was looking straight at me. "I forgive you," He struggled to breathe as pain tore Him in two offering love as He cried "I did it all for you." I scribbled this down before I headed out one morning, and by that night God had lifted my burden from me, and restored my joy! :D Our God is an AWESOME God! ~ His mercies are new every single day ~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Though I walk with weary soul with heavy heart and spirit low I know You are with me Though the morrow seems so far away and tears remain from yesterday I know You are with me You will never leave me, nor forsake me this I know is true forever moving heaven and earth to help me You draw me home to You Loving arms of mercy embrace me grace be a garland for my brow You raise me up above life's many struggles rescuing me, though I see not how Though circumstances do not favour me coming to steal all hope from me I know You are with me Though I struggle to carry on weighed down by things now gone I know You are with me For faith be the eyes that keep me focused enabling my heart to be set on you Hope be the wings that sets me to flight as freedom is given through Your truth God, I come with head now lowered sensing You taking all my shame and I offer You a song of praise now knowing I'm heard because of Jesus' name Though the enemy would see me broken and I be tripped by strong emotion I know God is with me And I will rise above life's worries rising boldly without fear for I know my God is with me I know He is always here Donna Keevers Driver Originally posted on ~ Winged Hope ~ Facebook ~ I will walk with you until you see the horizon
I will sit with you until the sun rises once more I will hold your hand until you step forth into your chosen destination but I am not the one you should be living for I will listen as you open up your heart and reveal its inner beauty I will encourage you to spread your wings and fly I will cheer you on as you set sail upon your destiny but I am not the one for whom you must live your life I will miss you in the quiet hours I will long for your presence every single day but, precious one, it is your life you're living just take my love with you as you go on your way My arms will be here whenever you need them I will hold you close no matter how far you roam For you, my door will always be open With me, you'll always have a home Do not look back as you step into the future Go boldly knowing the foundation of our love with never change Just remember that I love you and in my heart you will always remain I heard the tender cry of my Lover
a sweet caress delivered upon the wind His tenderness swept in about me stealing my breath as it engaged me deep within I closed my eyes in order to feel His soul I felt His essence in the form of a spiritual touch I breathed His name with passion’s heat My heart responded with pure love ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * I called unto My exquisite Bride I reached for Her through reality’s mist hoping She would recognise My voice and respond with true love’s kiss I called unto My True Love calling Her into My awaiting arms longing to hold Her unto myself and protect Her from all harm * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * Upon my soul, He had left His mark branding me with love so tantalising so with faith I set forth on foriegn soil empowered by love intoxicating Through the wilderness I journeyed seeking my Lover high and low at times losing myself in thickets dense at times failing to retain hope Through day’s heat I travelled seeking Him with my whole heart calling through night’s darkness yearning for my Lover’s arms ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ I found my Bride weakened mourning and near death She’d almost given up the journey having lost hope through weariness Voices of the dark taunted Her claiming My love to be insincere declaring Me unfaithful filling Her with fear Worry and doubt had come to consume Her convincing Her My love had come to an end But nothing shall weaken the love I hold for Her not even the power of death I’ll follow Her to the end of the earth I would even lay down My life for such is the love I possess for the one I call My Bride * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * His still small voice called to me waking me from a trance of foolishness He took me into His loving arms and held me firmly to His chest He whispered words of forever vowing nothing would separate us again I looked deep into His eyes of passion and placed my heart into His hands Now I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine Two hearts... one love until the end of time * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ”...I am my lover’s and my lover is mine…” Song of Solomon 6:3a
Walk with Me, My child, through valleys gold and green;
I will show you wonders that you have never seen...
I'll lead you by still waters, over mountains high and low;
I'll hold your hand and never leave you; no matter where you go...
You are My love, My heart, My joy; Child, you are everything to Me;
Walk with Me, My precious love, for all eternity...
I saw your tears as you lay crying; your pain sliced through My heart;
You felt so lost and lonely; it tore My world apart...
You thought you were alone; you thought I couldn't see;
I tried to tell you I was there, but you wouldn't listen to Me...
I fell upon My knees, My love, I held you to My chest;
When you screamed, I screamed, too; when you wept, I wept...
You think I am far away; you think that I don't see;
But how can I not feel your pain, when you are part of Me...?
I saw the blood falling from your wounded heart; I caught it in My hands;
I wept for all your suffering; but you thought I didn't understand.
You rose and walked away from Me; you left Me in the depths of pain;
but I would not give up on you; I followed you again...
I called your name so softly; My words softened by My love;
I called to you but you turned from Me; you said you'd had enough.
I closed My eyes, My tears burned hot, I could barely stand the pain;
But My heart it won't give up on you, so I called to you again...
My child, My love, My life, My all; stop listening to the lies;
I AM always here for you; I listen to your cries...
The world does not see Me, for sin has shut Me out;
But I ache to enter into your life; please cast away your doubt...
I am here for you, My child; I have been here all along;
Please, My child, My love, My heart; come Home where you belong...
I have made a place for you, My love; it's here in My embrace;
See I have made it just for you; a place of love and grace...
You think that I don't love you, you think that I am cruel;
but My heart it aches constantly, as I stand here waiting for you.
I've tried to tell you I love you, I even wrote it with My blood;
"My child, I adore you; You are My GREATEST love..."
Walk with Me, My child... through the lies and pain;
I will carry your burden; and you'll find peace again...
Lift your eyes, My child; see beyond the past;
See I have come to help you; to mend your broken heart...
I know the rumours the enemy tells you; he says I'm angry and mean,
but the truth is, My precious love, I want to set you free...
I don't come to condemn you; I don't want you to pay for sin;
I want to give you the love you ache for; but you have to let Me in...
Place your hand upon My chest, feel the way My heart beats just for you;
please take My hand, My love, My life, and take My heart, too...
Walk with Me, My child, through valleys gold and green,
and I will show you love does exist; a love you've never seen...
I'll lead you by still waters, and enable you to fly high and free;
I'll hold your hand and never leave you; for you are part of Me...
Oh, My child, My love, My life, listen to Me, please...
I love you... I want you... I miss you... you're the very heart of Me...
All My love,
God...
