Needs of us all

I could give this so many titles but giving is the ultimate theme and it would all stop before it starts
Except for one great and precious truth He said be Holy as I’m Holy with the fact my grace is sufficient
For thee in the great body that is life I can come to you in the best since of the word love your neighbor
As yourself that covers everything that is near and dear to us all if you cry we are told to do the same
Sympathize empathize be a haven in another one’s life storm be stalwart be an anchor when all is in
Tumult as the sea is wroth or the sands are shifting and blasting from a great wind you have the power
To create a culvert from the wind with earthen hands and arms you make a fortress symmetrical that
Matches every particular that makes up the attack the great I don’ts I don’t have mix into your life
My negative attitude or worse I don’t have to weaken your success and resolve to be the best you
Can be by the worst case scenario of myself dragging myself out of Sin’s cesspool after my own idiot
Actions to follow my own lust instead of marching myself under strictest orders get it under the blood
The soul cleansing the refreshing the flood of joyous waves crashing over my head bring that across
Your threshold not coming with my arms around the necks of our most ardent enemies giving them
The power to get within striking distance of your own heart that now has became a whole lot less
Defensible by my callous disregard for wholesome and right living there is so much to choose from
For the visit and by all means leave the thorns and sharp words behind that someone spoke against
One of our friends at a moment of weakness and anger but heartily praise them you won’t be able
To measure or detect it but they will have grown proportionately to the wisdom and good will you
Sent to them unawares and it works the other way too they would be diminished and harmed there is
Great power for good and evil in words and thoughts we are gifts that come with beautiful ribbons and
Bows that are all aglow to those that are crest fallen or to those that are happy we add more joy of
Abundance but first we need to infuse ourselves with costly fragrance that can only come from walking
In the garden of his all indwelling love and care it’s never sparse or lacking only we make it so by
Our haste and neglect of not lingering in the sweetest skies filled with cloud banks of abundant rain
As we enter the presence of our friends lives the soft gentle rain descends from over flowing hearts
That can’t hold such exuberate wonders in check they are to be shared with everyone we meet we write
With our tongues the songs that are meant to be sung for that hour we heard calming birds and streams
Wildly at play these give us focus and bring the grandness of harmony from its shaded shelter the boughs
Of the trees speak softly as they stir in the breeze we find hope in nests in their heights of rest you cause
Others to join you in this flight of discovery because you took the time to temper and add stability to
Chaos that needs but the smallest encouragement when you leave his presence fully renewed and
From his giving you are restored to fullness that does not ask but begs to give with all the heartfelt
Blessings you possess
