Sentimental

Call me crazy....or a bit too sentimental

I am so grateful His yoke is easy and His burden is gentle

Fragile

Breakable

Tender

a Wimp

Nothing in me says this life is a cinch

I want Jesus to hold me and reserve my seat with Him in the sky

Only by His blood can I rest and sing and worship morning noon and nigh

This world isn't it

Not by a long shot

Satan tempted tested and tried to destroy Job and took all that he got

But he couldn't strike him...not the person deep within

When we go through trials and testing, we realize how wretched is our nature imbedded with sin

After all Job went through, he actually repented and continued to worship our LORD

He realized the test just helped him see God and he fell lower to the floor

My eyes run and my mascara runs too

I try to explain it but my words are too many and at other times too few

Paul summed it up perfectly when he said "The things I don't want to do, I do and the things I should do I don't"

Christ died for sinners and no matter how people try to drown their sorrows the sin issue just floats

My emotions are everywhere

Just like Job, sadly, well-meaning friends sometimes do not help

I feel so discouraged like my life is sitting there dusty on the shelf

Why put me on the shelf LORD? Like a discarded book all tattered and torn

Oh my child you are incorrect in your assessment on the shelf you cannot be

For my light shines brightest when you tell the world about Me

The tears are not signs of weakness but rather deep deep love

For when Lazarus died, I too wept 

Lean on Me

Rest in Me

Trust in Me

Remember when the Holy Spirit descended like a dove?

I did not need to be baptized; it was symbolic you see

One day I would hang and die and shed My blood for thee

Don't be too sentimental about these changes in life

For Solomon's pleasures just ended in strife

Queen Esther was a queen yes, but an orphan and poor Jewish girl too

Please just remember I am not quite through with you

The branch isn't much if it's cut off from the tree

but since I am the Vine the branch's value is when it is deeply connected to Me

Your feelings aren't bad, as long as you bring them to Me

Let me comfort your aching heart let me show you more of Me

"What are you learning old friend?

What light of the prism of grace in Christ do you see today?"

I sometimes wish people talked like this...and simply put their phones away

LORD give us this day our daily bread

May we feast on your grace

For one day our sentiments and feelings will explode in the light of your glory and at your supper we'll taste

Help us LORD let go of the past, enjoy today and tomorrow trust in your plan, I'll obey you and lay down my feelings as I stare at the Savior's nail scarred hands
