Beauty

 

 

The leaves rustle across the ground

  In the cool autumn breeze

I gaze at Your creation

Where Your beauty is clearly seen

 

I see Your beauty as the sun comes up

It’s written across the sky

As the sun warms me, I feel Your love

But nighttime settles, and wonder why

 

Why You choose to share such beauty

 With one who fails You every day

I fall short time and time again

Each morning You meet me anyway

 

In the quiet moments I sit and think

 In awe of what I see

 As the wind blows by, I hear Your voice

 Whispering to me…

 

You notice the beauty around you

The intricacies through and through

But as splendid as this all appears

My beauty is wrapped up in you…

Matthew

 

My prayer for you...

May you never lose your smile or joy in the simple things

May your laughter never be muted

May you never allow anyone to silence your God given personality 

May you never trade in your uniqueness for something ordinary 

May you never believe the lie that you need to fit in or be like somebody else
May you never replace your hugs and affection with walls

May you never use your words to hurt others

May you always be quick to forgive and quick to repent

May you never use your positions in life to control others but to lead with love

May you have a strong yet tender heart

May you know when to turn the other cheek and when it is your place to protect

May your spirit be sensitive to the voice of the Father

May you walk in the wisdom of God and not the wisdom of man

May you always have discernment with people and choices you face

May you have a hunger for God’s Word all the days of your life

May you be a fervent man of prayer

May you have a heart for the unsaved, the broken, and the hurting

May you never be judgmental or prejudice, but love people as God does

May you discover and walk out the work that you have been called to do

May you never doubt Jesus’ love for you

 And may you always stay on the path that leads to life…
