Day 11- A Day of Review

God's BelovedLeave a comment

It’s Day 11 of the 21-Day Mental and Spiritual Health Series!

***

Today, I encourage you to look over the past 10 posts of this series. I have presented a fair amount of information in the past few days, and I believe that it would be beneficial to devote today’s time to reviewing what has been said and the scriptures that have been listed.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read even one of my posts in this series. I hope you have found truth and encouragement.

I will end today’s post with a poem (as is my typical style of writing for this blog).

Every journey has its start

The journey God calls us to

Will begin in the heart

♦~♦

Though the path ahead

Will twist and turn

We will continue to grow

And continue to learn

♦~♦

We will continue to trust

And continue to hope

We will continue to rest

And continue to love

♦~♦

We will follow the light

That leads the way

And we will find ourselves stronger

Each day

Taking Roses from Wolves (Light Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

Bright and beautiful

There are roses

Amongst wolves

~♦~

To reach them,

One must face

The violent pack

~♦~

Each rose

Has its thorns,

But beyond them

There are wolves

Circling

~♦~

These wolves

Care not for the rose

Their violent intent

Is in their eyes

~♦~

It takes a brave

And steady soul

To reach the rose

Past the wolves

~♦~

The thorns of the rose

Burden one not

When you realize

The wolves are the true concern

~♦~

Rescuing the roses

Saving them

To preserve them with care

A noble and sacrificial aim

Forward (Light Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

One step

Then another

Along a path

I did not design

~♦~

My plans

And my control

Are illusions

There are no

Absolute solutions

~♦~

Each day will pass

And each

Will be a miracle

As I survive

~♦~

Buffeted

Beaten

Bruised

and Broken

~♦~

But stronger I arise

Every broken piece

Mended

To make me whole

~♦~

Walking in peace

And in love

Giving of all

That I can

~♦~

A perfect hope

In an imperfect world

A light

Amidst the great darkness

A Wasted Breath (Light Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

Standing alone

A burning fire

Within the heart

Frustration and anger

Filling the soul

♦~♦

A cry projected

Out to the air

A wasted breath

With no one there

♦~♦

Alone in suffering

Or lost with something missing?

Broken and defeated

Or on the verge of

An uplifting?

♦~♦

Finding something

That had been invisible

Knowing something

That had been unknown

♦~♦

A new purpose

A new understanding

A release

More true

Than a wasted breath

Devoted to God (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

No matter what I face

I will always trust You

I will trust Your strength

And I will trust Your grace

♦~♦

This world cannot break me

Every day is in Your hand

I will walk along the path

That You have planned

♦~♦

I will speak love and life

To reflect Your heart

I will live out Your design

By actively playing my part

Following (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

I must choose to follow

My heart

That’s beating hard in my chest

Or the Spirit

That beckons me

To wait and rest

♦~♦

My heart would have me follow

My urges and desires

But the Spirit

Will guide me

To God’s perfect Will

And His perfect desires

♦~♦

The Lord’s plans are highest

And I will follow His Spirit

My heart will mend

And will learn to be at peace

Confusion (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

When the boundary markings slide

And the line in the sand

Is blurred

When the obvious choice

Hides

We can find ourselves

In confusion

♦~♦

Living our lives

According to the Will of God

Is not always easy

As confusion tries

To draw us away

♦~♦

Pray fervently

Speak thoughtfully

Step carefully

Confusion will be swept aside

And the light of God’s truth

Will shine through

Over and Over (Faith Poem)

God's BelovedLeave a comment

When the hits come

Over and over

Know that the Lord will provide

Over and over

♦~♦

When you fall down

Over and over

Know that the Lord

Will lift you up

Over and over

♦~♦

There is nothing

In this life

That will ever defeat you

When you walk

With the Lord

♦~♦

Praise Him for His love and His faithfulness

Over and over
