A beautiful day in the midst of December...

Lord, you bring a beautiful day in the midst of December,
Making a break in this winter to let the sun shine.

Removing memories of the blistery chill,
Replaced with a gentle breeze that I claim as mine.

To step outside to a spring-like day,
In exchange for the bitterness of cold.

Bringing a smile to this battered face,
Removing pains and scars of old.

I’m not quite sure how you do it,
Turning into day this night.

But fortunate for me you do it,
What was hopeless is filled with light.

Outside there’s so much dying,
And trees are left so bare.

Yet you’ve come and changed a day for me,
Somehow, you really care.

Lord, you bring a beautiful day in the midst of December,
Making a break in the winter to let the sun shine.

Removing memories of the blistery chill,
Replaced with a gentle breeze that I claim as mine.

All I Crave, Want & Need

I'm ready for this transition,

And whatever may have to change,

Open up this vessel,

I don't want to be the same.

All I want is you,

The one who calms my storm.

Who leads me on the water,

Who guides me safely home.

All I crave is you,

The one who helps me stand.

No one else completes me,

I'm reaching for your hand.

All I need is you,

I'll risk being alone,

Alone with you Jesus,

Change this heart from a stone.

Calling for your presence,

Surrendering myself to thee.

I choose to be with you,

Walking with my KING!

Living Puzzle

Scattered pieces on the floor,
Needing picked up once more.

~

I've tried to put myself together,
Far too many bad attempts.


Once again one piece is missing,
The center piece seems to be exempt.

~

So this time I try something new,
I'll mix up the pieces and give them to you.

~

I'm broken here before you now,
I've given up all my way.


This life has become such a disaster,
So I surrender all the pieces to you today.

~

My perception of this puzzle must have been so dense,
because before you touched it, nothing made sense.

~

But now that I've laid it in your hands,
I now know that you are the key.


I could never finish it on my own,
I was incomplete, but yet you completed me.

Random Thoughts

Psalm 118:24


© 2011 by Demesha Wright

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

So, the sun's shining, not cold, not hot...it truly is a BEAUTIFUL day...like..i've really been thinking a lot about creation...and just how awesome God is. I mean...look around...BEAUTIFUL. To think about Him placing the stars in the sky blows my mind. The earth, the sea...and then theres me. A nobody...nothing special...to think God made me...out of everything out there on the face of the earth, nothing fulfilled Him more than you and I. Someone He could love and who could 'choose' to return love. Someone to walk and talk with. To be in close intimate fellowship with. Looking at the beautiful sky wasn't enough, gazing at ocean waters and how the light reflects off its waves, and the way the sun sets at night...out of all that, He chose to be interested in me! Crazy!

Untitled - (Deliverance)

You smashed the head of the serpent,

that's been roaming within me.

Rebuked that filthy devil,

and he was forced to bow to thee.

I thank you sweet Lord Jesus,

for your mercy and your grace.

For your lovingkindness God,

and not turning your glorious face.

You've crushed me once again Lord,

Please leave me on the floor.

Here I feel your heartbeat,

and my soul aches for more.

Lead me on the water God,

help me not to fall.

I will fix my eyes on Jesus,

and listen to your call.

I desire to abide in you,

and rest beneath your wing.

Hold me tighter Abba Father,

I am yours, you are my King.

Analogies: Neglecting a Relationship

(Neglect a Relationship) - ANALOGIES

Analogy: Katie and Mark have been married now for 3 years. The marriage looks great, they've got a beautiful house, car, a new baby, etc. Well, one day Katie just decides not to come home. She's not on work leave, not visiting family, not at a friends, not with someone other man, but she just decides, "Ya know, I just don't 'feel' like going home to my husband tonight." Well, three weeks go by with no phone call, note anything. Finally, here she comes walking up to the front porch and of course her loving husband is sitting there waiting patiently.

Q: How does this affect their relationship?

Don't you think it'd cause a little 'tension'? Mark loves her and is faithful enough that he doesn't leave, but it takes some work for Katie to gain the trust and bond they had before.

Point of the Story: How do you think it affects our relationship with our lover, Jesus, when we neglect our quiet time with Him? It would affect it in a similar way as it would with that wife who left her husband temporarily. You'd have to work to get it back to where it once was. He is faithful and He will always do His part, it's just a matter of us doing ours.

Fallen

Where has my heart drifted,

Far once again.

Gazing at worldly things,

Where did it begin. (Contemplating Sin)


Maybe when I compromised,

By entertaining just one thought,

Or was it when I failed to read,

My own desires are what I sought.


I think it’s when temptation came,

I didn’t stop to pray.

Foolishly I leaned on my own strength

That’s when I went astray.


“Surely not I, I’ll never betray you,”

I cried out unknowingly,

But when time came to stand or fall,

I fell to corruption so easily.


I heard the whisper in my ear,

Nudging me to again choose sin.

That wicked voice I often hear,

Sad to say, this battle I didn’t win.


I let sin reign in my body,

I obeyed it in it’s lust.

Why didn’t I pursue righteousness?

I’m miserable now, I can’t go on, REPENTANCE IS A MUST!!!
