Reflect, Refresh & Renew

Mondays Message

A new decade is upon us
Reflect upon this
Upon the past year
See how far you have come?
The triumphs
The tribulations
All of this to mold you
For your Creator to hold you
All those times you felt so low
He lifted you high
Pushed you through the fight
To be His light
Your path may not have been in a perfectly straight line
But you allowed Him to be your guide
To hold you upright
When all you wanted to do was crumble and lie
Lie down in your messes
Giving in to your stresses
Darling, you have made it!
He has given you so many blessings
And now that this new time is upon us
Let us remember who has gone before us
Beyond us
He has made the way
Our paths have been paved
What a glorious day!
Let us relish in what is great
His love
His light
His ability to create each new day
Waking up to the rising sun
Gazing into the night sky
Seeing the stars He has hung so perfectly high
We may have goals
Resolutions
Something new to believe in
Or we may not be yet where we thought we would be
But looking back now at all of the changes, can't you see?
All along he has been holding you
Molding you into the disciple He has called you to be
This is no small feat
You, my darling, have an unlimited reach
So reach out
Give your life & light to those in need
And if it is yourself that is still lost and in defeat
Then I urge you to get down on your knees
Pray to Him to help you see
To consider it all joy in the trials and tribulations
And know this, darling, that your life is a blessing

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4
