What I want, and What I need.

There are so many things in my life that I want. But what do I really need? Very few times in my life have what I truly needed and wanted come together with Christ's plans for me and what He knows I need. The time I have waited for these things has been long, and the road has been anything but easy but that is when it is the most rewarding. Everything in life happens for a reason and only God can bring it all together for our good. Bring all your wants and needs to Christ and he will tell you; yes, no, or say wait and trust in me. What do you want and what do you truly need? God knows, bring them to the only one who will guide you right in all things.

Guided Steps
To
My Beloved

Each day I wait for you, wonder where you are. I look up at the moon and wonder if you are doing the same. My beloved I am waiting for you, for your gentile touch, and lovely smile. Each day I pray for you, that God will send the kisses from the lips that are only meant for you. I pray that you will hear my soft whispers of love. I am waiting, and God is working. How is he shaping you and molding you? My love, he is making you into only what He can, and I for you. I long for the day we will be together, as one. Only He could take me from your lovely embrace. I am waiting my beloved. My eyes will one day meet the one He has made for me. My heart will burst and my hands will tremble, I am not worthy of such a gift as you! Until that day my Love, I am waiting, and God is working, I put my trust in Him! He will guide our steps.

Short Cuts

Each morning I wake up and wonder what new road I will take today. Will I have the courage and the strength to take the road that God has set before me? I often find myself trying to take detours and “short cuts”. In my heart I know that this is not the road that I was supposed to take. In my head I think if I do it this way I can do it in my own power. How wrong I am all of the time. Yet I find myself trying to take the path that I choose. I find that I cannot walk these paths. I struggle up steep hills and through thorns and get caught in storms. My legs give out, my hands bleed from the thorns, and my will is broken. God picks me up and carries me the rest of the way. After the long journey Christ puts me back on the path, the path that I abandoned so long ago. Every road that I have taken in this life has led me straight to him. Every detour and shortcut has shown his love for me. I can do nothing without him!

May Christ shine his love and grace down upon all of you and may you see the path that he has set ahead of you. Trust in Christ for the strength and courage to take the path he has set in front of you. Even if you are on a detour now know that he is with you and that he is calling you back to him and the path he has made. Trust in him to carry you; do not trust in your own strength, like me, you can do nothing without him.
