Bogged Down?

Life's cares bogging you down?
Time for review of the situation
and possible change in direction.

To Carry. . .or to Cast?

To Carry, or to Cast? That is the question we all face from time to time. Our flesh/ego/whatever has us thinking that we can handle whatever comes our way, and that it is a sign of weakness to ask for help. However, the truth is that when we are weighed down with cares and have difficulty moving forward, He wants us to call out to Him - for burden carrying is one of His specialities.

Cast your cares on Him. . .for He cares for your soul.

Pressure Cooking?

"The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself." It's a shame that we pressure cook ourselves for we stand the chance of "blowing our lids".

Turn Down the Heat!
Turn ALL your cares, hurts, and pain
over to the Lord.
It's a lot healthier,
and we chance not overcooking our life.

Genuine Compassion

It is important to understand the true meaning of love, for without it we can be nothing for Him. I wrote this poem several years ago - so here's my personal observation of what genuine compassion should to be, and this is the type of love I desire to possess.

Genuine Compassion
reaches beyond self
into the lives of others,
feeling their hurts, their pains, their humility.

It weeps,
it smiles, it laughs, it cares,
its authenticity speaking
from the depths of the spirit.

It acts
not as a facade of hypocrisy,
soliciting service through pretense
to receive rewards.

Genuine compassion is
and will be in the heart of a true believer,
Devotion, steadfastness and virtue
will be its covering.
