Expanding Horizons

God is expanding my horizons.....My life is in the hands of Jesus....

The year 2014 started with the Lord dealing with my life and how much it has been selfishly revolving around me!! It's so easy to point out flaws in others and so difficult to see the huge mistakes we commit. May this year be one of being humble before Jesus in the reality of our nothingness. Amen

Logs in my eyes


The year that passed often wrought with pain..
The speck in the eyes of my brother I thought as personal gain...

Just, I thought my actions that were displayed...
But only the evil one's plan was portrayed...

Oh, how blind and miserable I've been...
To be fooled by evil forces unseen..

I didn't see Lord the log in my eyes!
Woe to me that I cried hypocritical cries!

I should have asked Thee for grace...
But I decided this was a worldly race!

Utter foolishness Lord were my actions and words...
Causing pain and sorrow like a war with swords!

In Your presence I see my folly and loss...
I willingly hurt others and despised Your cross!

Forgive dear Lord, this foolish daughter of Thine...
Take my sin away and make Your wisdom to shine...

Though betrayed by those You loved yet You didn't scream!
Then why does my deceptive heart scheme?

Lord, I ask of Thee this new year..
Make Jesus a reality of my life crystal clear...

I'm asking you Lord to take full control!
My life in Your hands is always to hold!

I let go of my plans, ambitions, fears...
Just hold me dear Lord, keep me near...

Enough of me carrying the burden around...
I give you my cares, Jesus my solid ground!

Take charge from today Lord of all my hopes...
Bind me with Your love as like a strong chord of ropes...

Only You can write the days of my life...
With Thee alone can I find end of every strife!

Thankyou dear Jesus, Your death bought me Heavenly peace...
It is my prayer that should never cease...

Your love and grace in my life should ever increase!
That I always find answers on bended knees!

Amen.
