Suffering
Clare Aug 2020
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.”

Stepping stones to moving out in faith

The first step is sacrificing our Isaac
That has such a grip on us
Next is letting go of pre-conceived ideas
Things we are so sure will be
Following is our precious little comfort zone
Which is so utterly offensive to Jesus
We love to have all in control
But then where does Jesus fit in?
Doing things in our strength must stop
Be still and let God almighty move
The Lord Jesus shall fight for you
And you shall absolutely hold your peace
There must be peace of the unknown
Walk in faith not by our understanding
Literally live one day at a time
One hour, one minute, one second …

Creation
Clare Aug 2020
The heavens declare your handiwork
Handiwork of awesome uniqueness
Uniqueness too wonderful
Wonderful creation
Creation

I contemplate the transient clouds
Clouds so singularly different
Different and beautiful
Beautiful phenomena
Phenomena

The treasures of the snow
Snow so wholly white
White and spotless
Spotless purity
Purity

The splendour of the butterfly
Butterfly so entirely fragile
Fragile in nature
Nature singing
Singing

The majesty of an eagle
Eagle symbol of hope
Hope of freedom
Freedom today
Today

The agility of the gazelle
Gazelle of a promise
Promise of tomorrow
Tomorrow’s victory
Victory

The exquisiteness of a baby
Baby of new beginnings
Beginnings of life
Life earthbound
Earthbound

The ephemeral joys of childhood
Childhood of naive innocence
Innocence easily lost
Lost forever
Forever

Seize this moment in time
Time so quickly gone
Gone for evermore
Evermore wasted
Wasted

The heavens declare your handiwork
Handiwork of awesome uniqueness
Uniqueness too wonderful
Wonderful creation
Creation

Love
Clare Oct 2020
Pondering the magnificent love of the Alpha
Explaining this most wonderful mystery is impossible
Realizing that erasing our sins is silliness
Finding our uttermost fulfillment in our Lord
Empowering us to rise above kour limitations
Conquering all our fears through His infinity
Trusting the ordained commands of the Omega

Lovely, is His compassion
0verwhelming, is His comprehension
Victorious, are His ways
Eternal, are His promises

Considering the power and authority of Alpha
Answering to the call of the Almighty
Silencing us quietly to His awesome Omnipotence
Turning to the One who holds eternity
Expelling from our minds thoughts of desertion
Targeting our focus to the Holy One
Hallowing the awesome presence of the Omega

Omniscient, is His presence
Uplifting, are His commands
True, is His word

Finding the strength needed in the Alpha
Embracing the security provided by His majesty
Accepting the tender mercies of His magnificence
Remembering always the triumph of the Omega
