Only Him!

I've noticed over and over again 

That when life does not favor us,

The only place we run to, is God.

The desires of the heart,

The thoughts of the mind,

And the longings of the soul

Are found only in Him.

Yes, only Him!

The Mural on the Wall

Some live their lives in haste,

Some let their moments waste.

But some count each day,

And walk a wiser way.

Like a mural on the wall,

Their lives speak to all.

Like books that stand so tall,

They’ve made it worth the call.

One dot may seem too small,

Yet patience shapes it all. 

Don't let your vision fall,

Wait for the final hall.

The picture will display,

For all the world one day.

That a life, like brushstrokes small,

Painted a beautiful mural on the wall.

Nature

Who can go against nature?

Whether good or bad, we cannot help but admire its beauty.

Be it trees, mountains, rivers or streams,

Can you find fault in them?

To complain is to make yourself a fool,

To appreciate is to elevate your soul.

So perfect as the trees grow taller,

So vast as the mountains stretch their arms,

So smooth as the rivers rush down,

So fresh as the streams glide by.

Look at the rocks, the sand upon the land,

Nothing bothers them.

What we see is peace and tranquility,

Surpassing every doubt and fear.

Think of the ocean’s waves,

Coming and going without regret.

Its vision deep and clear.

Simply being what it is!

There is nothing among creation,

Whether it breathes or not,

That fails to declare God’s glory

Without rest, day and night.

Who then, is the worst among creation?

Nature? Or man?

There is no defence for mankind.

At every hour,

A missing element lingers within him.

So poor, so wretched in his being.

But God, rich in mercy, deep in love,

Extended compassion to the worst,

That he might draw the best from him

Among all creation.

How blessed it is then, to say,

Thank you, Lord!

For your mercy and grace,

For your compassion and love.

Remember what the Psalmist declares,

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,

Human beings that you care for them?”
