Welcome to my garden:
Today's poem was not taken from today's (Beside The Still Waters) but
it fits in well with today's thought.
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED:

ONE DAY

One day my pen will be stilled
And I shall be no more.
But I shall meet you
On that golden shore.

One day I shall be gone
I shall fly away
To the home prepared for me
Where there is eternal day.

On day I shall say goodbye
tho those I love so dear
But they can keep me in memory
And I will always be near.

One day I shall meet Jesus
I shall see  Him face to face.
And all those gone before me
I shall in love embrace.

OH. CHILD SO WEARY

Oh, child so weary
Of the trials of life.
I will give you comfort
From all worldly strife.

Oh, child so weary
Of disappointments and sorrow,
You can rest assured
Of a brighter tomorrow.

Oh, chid so weary
Of pain and each lonely night,
I will sooth all your misgivings
And calm your every fright.

Oh, child so weary
Who fears what dearth will bring
Know I ill never leave you
I will take care of everything!

LIVING BY YOUR CONVICTIONS

Living by your convictions
For that, you must pray
That God will give you strength
For each and every day.

Living by your convictions
In a world that thinks they are absurd
You beed to daily be
In God's Holy Word.

Living by your convictions
Even when you're on your own
Remembering your Savior
He also stood alone.

Living by your convictions
Be committed to your God
For He will walk with you
On the path of life you trod!

START WHERE YOU ARE

Start where you are
Whatever the circumstance.
Start where you are
God gives a second chance.


Star where you are
Even if you make a mistake.
Start where you are
God knows the path you take.

Start where you are
God only asks that you try.
Start where you are
You don't need to know each why.

Start where you are
Remember first to pray.
Start where you are
With God it's a successful day!

MOLDED BY GOD

Molded by God
In His likeness, you see
Each day you're transformed
To be all you can be.

Molded by God
Means you are the clay
He is the potter
Be in His hands today.

Molded by God
Means to conform to His will
Keep, your focus on Him
As He whispers, "Be still"

Molded by God
For a life beyond time
Where all is made new
And the Son will always shine!

SET YOU MIND

Set you mind
On Jesus when you're feeling weak
And you're seeking comfort
His face you must seek.

Set your mind
On God's Word, when your path is obscure
And you are very troubled
It will make you feel secure.

Set you n mind
Prayer, God answers them for thee
But you must be patient
It is in His time, you see.

Set you mind
On heaven, here you're just passing through
Life on earth is transit
But  God has an everlasting love for you!

IMPOSSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES

Impossible circumstances
Was Jesus on the cross
But Christ won a victory
When others thought He had lost.

Impossible circumstnces
You sometimes find yourself in
But nothing is impossible with God
He he forgives our every sin.

Impossible circumstances
Is hard to comprehend
When we see no way out
And no way to win.

Impossible circumstances
God is with you
He's working things out
He'll see you through.

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS

Control your thoughts
Because they become deeds
So fill your heart
With heavenly seeds.

Control your deeds
For habits they become
Direct from the heart
Reject each negative one.

Control your habits
You have a choice, you see
You can choose happiness
If you choose Me.

The method of controlling all three
Give them all up to Me
And I will give you peace
I will set you free!

Sometimes what others think of us is more important than what God thinks of us!

REJECTION IS HARD TO TAKE

Rejection is hard to take
When others are cruel, you see
You want people to like you
But with some you just disagree.

Rejection is hard to take
It gives you feelings of worthlessness too
You just want to give up
When others criticize you.

Rejection is hard to take
That is so very true
But one thing to remember
God will never reject you.

Reject is hard to take
On the opinion of others don't depend
It is only God's opinion that counts
And with Him you will amways win!

JUST ASK

Just ask
God to hear your heart.
Just ask
Your troubles to depart.

Just ask
He is always there.
Just ask
He really does care.

Just ask
He never sleeps or slumbers.
Just ask
You'll never get a wrong number.

Just ask
He answers prayer, you see.
Just ask
And wait patiently!

Words are like dandelion heads, once blown you cannot retrieve them and

DON;T JUDGE ANOTHER

Don't judge another
Until in his shoes you walk.
Don't judge another
Be careful how you talk.

Don't judge another
Keep your focus on Me.
Don't judge another
When you disagree.

Don't judge another
By the rules you have made.
Don't judge another
For his sins I've paid.

Don't judge another
Instead, for him pray.
Don't judge another
Or you'll be judged today!

Freely given by God
To light your dark pathway
On the road that you trod.

Be all you can be!
