At a loss for words and my anger rising I look up to the sky and begin recognizing That the petty things we allow to hurt us the most Are the hurts that we wear around us like coats We hold onto things that aren't meant to be held And we forget the real truth about how we felt It wasn't just a one time heated argument That brought us to this place we resent But there needs to be grace and forgiveness Because we were forgiven when Christs blood was spent We've each been bought with a price Much greater than anything we sacrifice Love was pour out like rain on our hearts Drenching our souls from the inside out We were given His power in His resurrection And we can now being going the right direction One towards the Father and towards eternity So we let the petty things go and be fleeting Let us bury our bitterness in the grave And remember there are lives waiting to saved #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXmJkPlCLV/?igshid=1jhcrggt5tvx1

Love like this is unimaginable and hard to describe It was love like this that was set up on display When my Savior King all for love was crucified And the greatest act of love was shown that day If this is what true love looks like Then in His love Im completely satified Because love rescued my rebellous heart And brought me to loves great start I no longer am lost in the ways of me But my focus is set on eternity What is this love given so freely to us How can love be given at such a high cost Love like this is overwhelming to my soul But it is love like this that makes me whole #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLHYRmF_9J/?igshid=1vio3gjqo46i1

I wanna worship at the feet of my King I abandon my lot just so I can sing Of the beauty of grace that rescued me Release who I was and run to find I am bound to Him and now I am free Let this place erupt with His peace With one voice we scream victory I give you this day I give you this life Take all that I am I lay down my pride I surrender myself to the arms of the King A life of abandonment for a life of free There's nothing that I want more than this #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIX6FaFtzz/?igshid=idezhx7hen5o

I've found when I am less He's greater than all my mess Even when the storms shake Oh I know that He is great When the doubts begins to show My trust in the Lord stars to grow Want to be less So He can be great Want to be low Give Him the fame Here are my hands I want to be your feet I give all that I am More of You less of me Let the troubles deal with itself Know whose I am I love myself Because the King who made all of this Is the One who saved me from the pits And when everything turns to ruin No need to question what He's doing My King is on the throne watching over me #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFs5UulIAb/?igshid=noicc2flqf7y

No matter what the cost I live for the King not man Even if I am called foolish or Im the only one there I want to make His name famous and not care If the whole world reject me or I am alone To know my rewards in heaven my Daddy sits on a throne To look fear in the face and remind it that it has no place That this heart is made clean by His overwhelming grace And fear is strangled by this love that says I am enough Regardless of my past or things that made me feel unloved My fears are washed away in the perfectness of Christ's blood I am no longer a slave to my sin I am called His beloved That I am set free from the shackles I knew so well Ive got new life new adventures a new story to tell Wanna shout it from the rooftop and scream below Ive got a love so amazing I want everyone to know So come one come all and experience this love so sweet There's no greater love than to be loved by the King #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDCmmqFkqJ/?igshid=1okp4knyqn04d

I'm not looking for my name in lights Not wishing on any starlit nights There's only one I want to praise Want to show the world His name His name is Savior King He's the reason I sing No other name I'll proclaim Jesus what a beautiful name I wasn't made for song and stage Wasn't my place to be that way There's only one I want to praise Want to be less so He can be great Never wanted to be on the screen Want people to see Christ not me Theres only one I want to praise Want my Lord to receive the fame Lift up His name For He is great Let Him receive the fame #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAqNYrlaFT/?igshid=8l3c71d6jvi6

I look down at these hands cupped before me And I think how could these be used for His glory How can i make a fraction of a difference here When the clouds of doubts surround me with fear Why do I think that I can do what others can That somehow I cant and theyre superman I want to have the faith to move mountains For people to experience God's love like fountains I want the confidence in my God to make blind see To heal the sick and help the captives run free For others to see Christ in the way that I smile But have the boldness to push for the extra mile To not be held back by my own insecurities And not blinded by the thwarting of the enemy But to have daring faith that is willing to stand #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CM46WyYlUeT/?igshid=kv770gtpqhdl

Even when the storms last a long time I am found in you and you are my supply in every season Come what may Lord be my everything not be just a song that's sung but a daily anthem of truth That brings light and rings truth over my circumstances for in You I am full I no longer need to fill my time with worldly desires my flesh needs to starve So that my soul may feast and bask in your love please God break down the walls I keep building up Release me from the shackles I keep putting my hands and feet because I am set free Remove anything in me and in my life that isn't of you and allow me to be okay If I need to be trimmed or operated on in order for that to be so then let it be Allow my heart to know that even though this may hurt that pain is only temporary But the eternal reward is far greater than any earthly loss whatever it takes please let it be I only want you and I only need you and if that means I have to walk alone for awhile With just You and me then so be it if that be your will I want to go deeper with You Because in the loneliest of times I feel closer to you remove the grip of distractions Allow me to rekindle the flame of our love that I let burn out Set a roaring fire to these burned out ashes and remind me of my first love Stir up a passion that's been lost and allow me to get to know you all over again As I read your Word as we communicate take walks together listen and as I spend time with You I want to know you intimately and nothing and nobody has the right to take that away from me Because I want to desire you so deeply that I only see your truths and that the path I've been walking Is made up of deceit I lay down my pride my guilt and my skeletons at your feet I've been carrying them for too long and the load is too much to bear I release them to die on the cross with You to be buried in the grave forever God I stretch out my hands and release my burdens and lay them at your feet I give up my need to control and I wanna just be free from my own bondage I wanna walk intimately hand in hand with you my Savior #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godbless https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzhpIIFX8j/?igshid=1860m6hh3nlvy

God I'm a cheater I've cheated on you more times than I can count Too long I've allowed myself to let other things get in the way of our relationship I've let the lies of this world surround me like a head inside a hornets nest Blinded by the stings that this world has to offer I have allowed the lies to become truths Truths that consume my thoughts so deeply that I can't see that you're working in my life I've lost sight of your handiwork and have begun to believe the filthy rags That I keep trying to use those rags to clean up the mess I find myself in I keep digging deeper into my own depression only to find more dirt and more filth Leading me into further depressing thoughts that cloud my judgment and my eyes From seeing the reality of what you are doing in my life and how you are moving My own insecurities and the monsters in my closet seem to be knocking me down every time I find myself standing on my feet pressure seems to build and just when life has begun to look up I'm back on my face asking you why God I let my whys and how comes to create this gap And I dwell on those so intensely that I can't seem to find intimacy with you cuz I am blinded Blinded by the pain this pain has been beside me for too long and it's hard to imagine it gone But God I don't want to spend another day in a relationship with pain I desire to know you To be with you to erase the pain would be a curse because there is beauty in knowing my past But by grace you pull me out of the grave I keep digging and place my feet on hope You remind me of what took place on Calvary no longer do fear and pain control me But with grace and mercy I am free from its bondage Lord I want intimacy again with you To love you with all the love this weary heart possesses I desire to partner in your work To begin a bond that fear and pain have no place in where love reigns supreme God where I see a broken spirit you see workable usable and mendable parts Let me fall in love with you all over again allow me in my brokenness To see the fullness and wholeness of who you are let me see the behind the scenes action That I have failed to see for so long because I let doubt and insecurity cloud my judgment https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxbqUGlrVo/?igshid=lln3o3f2wgdz

Look to You in the calm of the day and the chaos in the night You've given me grace and mercy you've won my hearts fight Surrender isn't something so easily given up for me But in my lacking I find pain and misery My desperation for you is like a runner out of breath Because without You I am bound to eternal death God I need You when life is in abundance And when my joy seems to be in absence Your beauty all around if I only open my eyes I miss out on your opportunities cuz I'm blind When I run out of reasons to forgive myself You remind me of the price of me on the cross You make the most broken pieces beautiful And fill my empty moments and make them full I am in desperation In need of restoration Lord intervene I give myself in consecration This life in dedication Lord for Your glory This life paid by Your life Who am I to serve otherwise Give all I am for You alone Creator of brokeness whole Show me ways to bring you praise #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuwTFElh_u/?igshid=1sn8v2ryfhv29

Spirit you give me power and you give me strength You are near to me closer than my very next breath You're the still small voice that leads me towards righteousness You show me the way even in my doubtful mess You bind my wandering heart to the path you chose for me So I might become the carrier of your love and glory You give me gifts to use to bless your people here So that people will step out in faith not restrained by fear But will bring the world the salvation that it craves Jesus is waiting for them to see they need to be saved People don't realize how trapped they are Cuz they believe the lies people placed on their heart Those voids were made to perfectly fit everything he has Freedom is better than staying stuck where you're at This life has so many blessings all you have to do is receive Turn from the hole you've dug and come experience peace His love is not based on anything that you could do He died to take your place that's how much He loves you Come out of the darkness and embrace His loving light He wants to give you an abundant and fulfilling life Here's the best part it's a gift all you have to do is take Then you can taste of his goodness better than cake Overwhelming love pours over you and you're free And when I say you're free I mean free indeed No longer chained to the sins of your past Your past was paid for by the cross so blast It's forgotten as quickly as the moment you prayed Gods love sent down to earth to take our place Wake up your sleeping heart and believe Because blessings are yours to come and receive #aforestoflikes #Godsgrace #Godsplan #gospel #praiseGod #praise #thankyouGod #poet #poem #blessing #blessingsonblessings #Godblessings #Godblessyou #thankyouLord #Christian #Christ #prayer #blessings #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhgk1-lPbJ/?igshid=1gd0kf3givukc
