Life is a puzzle with the pieces in HIS hands

Monday Message

I will not test 
Yea, but I will rest 
I will not test His Omnipotence 
But I will rest amongst His endless peace 
As much as I need the breath that I breath 
I need His Spirit to wash over me 

and as the breeze 
        Kisses the sweat off of my neck 
 I take it all in
​The slick of my skin


​                        Knowing that this work 
                   Is not all for nothing
                   But by the toil of our hands 
                 And by the dirt of this land 
        We will not reprimand 
Or even question 
                  The mighty works of His plan 

         His might and His power 
                                     Can bring down the spring rain showers 
                              and just as a babe suckles the breast 
The growth begins 

And we labor 
Not in expectance 
Of recompense
           For the hardships we experience 

             No, we serve through the struggle 
The rain and the muddle
Because we see a vision 
Beyond our blue bubble 

We may not yet see
The totality of His scheme
But we have a glimmer 
A hope in this dream 
 
               And that dream becomes bigger 
           As the once blank puzzle pieces
Now shimmer With the edges 
                                  Slightly more clearer And we draw nearer 
 
Ready to jump 
But, we will not give up 
As we wait patiently 
Resting in His sovereignty 
 
Our Way Maker 
Our Peace Creator
Our love for You extends here now 
For something greater

John 15
