THIS DAY

Hi Precious Friends,

In this modern era, it's so easy to get swept away by distractions and circumstances. Sometimes we need to just stop, breathe, and take inventory. As we experience these last few days of 2014 and look into the bright future of 2015, I wanted to share one of my latest poems. I pray it speaks to your heart and draws you ever-closer to the God who thought of you before He formed the foundations of the world...

THIS DAY

I will rest on Your promises

Today, I’ll seek Your face

And I will trust in the unseen;

This day, release my faith.

I won’t dwell on circumstances

Swirling all around me.

This day, I’ll choose to rise above

By standing on belief

That You, my faithful Father,

Are always there for me;

Pouring out your love,

Unending grace on the scene.

Though waters tend to rise up

You only let me drown

In mercies never ending,

Even when I let you down

By begging You for answers

My heart still longs to know.

Instead, You fill their spaces

So doubt and fear can’t grow.

I know that You are for me

Each moment of these days

So forgive me for my questions

And times I’ve walked away.

It’s not that I don’t trust You;

I give You all I have.

But sometimes life gets messy,

Confusing where I am…

Forgetting I’m Your priceless,

Your beloved and Your friend;

Forgetting You are with me,

Far beyond the very end.

So Lord, oh please forgive me

For mistakes that I have made,

Decisions that have hurt you,

For questioning Your Way.

My Father, You are faithful,

Abba loving, Abba kind.

So this and everyday,
God, please hold this heart of mine.

Thankfully Forgiven,

Katie Marie
