The Bride to Christ

I was certain I was born
to be an adventurer, a hero, a warrior.
The day would come that God would use me
to change the world, 
to change people’s hearts,
to point them to their Saviour.

I was born to be spectacular,

My dull mind, the thought penetrates -

when I wake in a new day,
with no trauma or crime,
no crushing crisis that
overnight has come my way.
 
I am aware I may wake,

You have taught...

In my inbox, two emails -
a problem I can’t solve, but must.
Instantly I’m off the rails,
yet You whisper, “Trust!”

My lips, an angel guards.
Your Spirit guides my mind
through flaming enemy darts
to a solution, I couldn...

You open my eyes,
more and more.
I see Your hand in my life,
more and more.
I recognize your guidance,
more and more.

You are here with me -
tangibly present in my life,
active all the time, 
You are working o...

Father, I was terrorized in my sleep
with dreams of robbers, and wars
that filled me with dread.
But the first rays of morning light,
washed away the memories
of my fear and of the fight.

The birds' song is chirpy, so joyfu...
