Lord, I feel so much rejection,
Life passes me by and then oblivion.

Friends got married
And I’m still waiting.
They had children
And my time’s gone.
They received healing
And mine’s still coming.
They enjoy life
And I endure it.

Lord, I watch and patiently wait,
Heaven’s appointed time for my season’s change.

The Lord loves me
This I know.
The Lord of All,
The Only Creator,
Has time to stop
And love me.
I wish I could
Comprehend His love.

Lord, all of my earthbound life,
Time flies by with seemingly no change.

I must stop searching
For His love.
The Lord blesses abundantly
All His children;
But many of them
Do go without.
Wondering at this paradox
I ask ‘why’ ?

“Because, you, my child are willing
To share the fellowship of my sufferings.”
Clare Jul 2020
When problems assail you on all sides
Do not question what is happening
Understand this principle, apprehend it well
Your life is not your own
Let me work My way through you
It’s not about you but Me

I want your life to reach out
To the people along your pilgrimage
I need your hands and your feet
Walking in those lonely desert places
Allowing Me to embrace the lost souls
Are you willing to go for me?

Counting your ambassadorship a glorious privilege
Committing your day to divine instructions
Marching the “Via Dolorosa” for My purposes
Understanding then My compassion for them
Sharing My sufferings for those crying out
Discovering My passion for lost humanity
Clare Jul 2020
You must leave the ninety nine
You must forsake your familiar surroundings
Your comfort zone and security circle
You must put aside your hopes
And walk the dark desert road

It is black, It is lonely
Why am I in this way?

I am not finished with you
I know what I am doing

I want your focus

I want your time

I want your focus

It is so hard
Bitterness lies in wait
Critical spirits hang around
Cynicism is blinding me

Behold, I am with you
And will keep you wherever you go
And will bring you back to this land
For I will not leave you
Until I have done what I have spoken to you

You must be in a precise place

To meet the people I choose

Don’t panic, I remember My promises
Continue to walk this outcast way

You will then see my Glory
 
Genesis 28:15

Forgetting the things of the past
Identifying our weaknesses and bad habits
Negating all those continual nagging thoughts
Deciding to change our habitual course
Instructing ourselves in His wonderful Word
Neglecting the idle talk and hobbies
Giving up the ‘ME’ into His Hands

Yielding to the Lord
Obeying our High calling
Undertaking the necessary measures
Repenting of our wrong conceptions
Prioritizing our projects
Reflecting your Glory

Organizing our time
Laughing at ourselves
Interceding for others
Forgoing our ambitions
Immobilizing our fears
Clarifying new decisions

Projecting our goals for the year
Utilizing our talents for His purpose
Rising up to the Divine challenge
Planning for the imperatives in life
Optimizing schedules to fit into His
Studying hard to show ourselves approved
Extolling His Name above our daily lives
Clare May 2020
In the stillness of the evening
Straining to hear His quiet voice
I hear only the still silence
The silence of my confining circumstances

In the darkness of the soul
Learning to listen for His whisper
I listen for a small sound
The sound of a fresh calling

In the storm of the night
Waiting to understand His new direction
I understand a day is dawning
The dawn of a different era

In the aurora of the morning
Desiring to awake His hidden vision
I awake to a victorious certainty
The certainty of the Lord’s glory
Clare May 2020
This unusual lockdown
Took us aside
To draw closer to Him
Praying with perseverance
Evaluating our priorities
Finding an uneasiness in our comfort zones

Eve of lockdown
Back to normal
There is a real danger
Returning to traditions
Forgetting our resolutions
Wanting to stay in our comfort zones

After the lockdown
Can't we see?
The after effects of Covid-19
Working no more
Crying for help
Remaining to busy in our comfort zones?

No more lockdown
Are we ready?
To move with the Lord?
Seeking the lost
Reaching the poor
Needing to urgently leave our comfort zones

Lockdown is history
Have we forgotten?
The situation demands our commitment
Forsaking our indifference
Requiring our time
Abandoning the security of our comfort zones
Clare May 2020
When all has gone quiet
And you hear nothing
You see naught
You cry
Help

But there’s none to answer
You search for something
You find nothing
You scream
Help

Life has passed you by
No husband is present
Kids are absent
You whisper
Help

Jesus, I know you’re here
But I sense nothing
All is pointless
I mutter
Help

Where are you my precious Lord?

Here
Very near
I love you
You are my treasure
I will never leave you

Listen
Be still
I speak softly
Attune your auditory senses
Know that I am God

Trust
Be confident
I know all
I’ve counted your tears
I am ever with you

Wait
Be patient
I will come
Suddenly out of nowhere
As a bolt of lightning
