Overwhelming Joy

You know life really isn’t a vicious cycle as everyone likes to say it is. Yes life can be vicious but it is not a cycle. The only times I have ever encountered life that is a cycle it was because the person made it that way, even if they didn’t realize it.
The point is I use to think the sorrow, pain, loneliness, fear, and depression were unavoidable. That life at the moment may be joyous and wonderful but that eventually something was going to happen and life would be sad again. But it’s not true. Sorrow and pain may come but they don’t have to.
With God things that at one time would have brought sadness now bring rejoicing. That is the power of God’s love. His unfailing love is so great that even though “life” may be falling apart one can be utterly joyful, because His love is that overwhelming.

Wondering

Lord You make my head spin

You give me butterflies

Just the mention of Your name
The though of You
Makes my cheeks turn red

I’m bashful in Your presence

I will forever wonder
Why You choose to spend
Time with me

I have nothing to offer

Remind me why You care
Please tell me again
How beautiful I am

You’ve called me Yours
Do You realize what You have claimed
I am nothing

Oh God show me my worth

Am I really what this world declares

If I am You would not take me

Why is the perception so different
How can such beauty
Be considered trash

Someone has to be wrong
