THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
THE OLD TESTAMENT
PSALM 23
A Psalm of David
The LORD is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me,
in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in
the House of the Lord forever.

Good Morning, God
Good Morning, God
Good morning, God.
Today is Yours, not mine,
to know what I'm heading toward.
Will it end in regrets or turn out fine?
You hung the glowing moon last night.
You pulled down the shade, gave darkness and rest.
You pulled up the shade, in streamed light.
Another day, will I give You my best?
If I close myself to Your inner voice,
my feet may stray, I may miss Your path.
If I tread alone and make a poor choice,
my eyes may not see what for me, You hath.
With compassion my stubborn heart fill.
Don't let me ring empty and hollow.
Help me surrender my all to Your will,
today and each one that may follow.
When this day is done and resting time is mine,
may Your guiding hand, have kept from regrets,
so it turns out fine.
Good morning, God.

Genesis 1:16
And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:
he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of
the heaven to give light upon the earth.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, niether let it be afraid.
The Master's Sunrise
When the sun rises the horizon is abundant of
shadow of cheers, creeping in the infinite glow of Heaven.
Sensational color and the spectacular hues,
are gazing and beckoning me, and I know
it is the Master’s sunrise!
How grandeur it is to watch and see God’s magical Hand,
it is the Master’s sunrise.
Enveloping the universe, all the creatures on earth.
The land, the seas, and every being.
Dancing and rejoicing and in unison voices of gladness and joy,
adoring this wonderful world!
I see the Master’s sunrise glowing all over.
A new day, a day to begin.
A day to behold and a day to get enchanted, because
it is God’s bountiful blessing!
It is the Master’s sunrise!
So I smile and raise my heart and soul above, and gladly say,
"Thank you God for the restful night."
I welcome this new day, it is God’s gift.
And the Lord grants another day for it is:
The Master’s Sunrise!

Psalm 104:22-24
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,
and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work
and to his labour until the evening.
O, Lord, how manifold are thy works!
in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Isaiah 48:17
Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the Lord thy God which teacheth to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Goodnight, God
Goodnight, God
Another day is history,
written on the pages of the heart.
Were its acts and words etched only by me,
or did I often seek Your part?
May my thoughts have been prompted from above,
my hands doing good deeds for You.
Did I put You first, showing others Your love,
or did I flaunt myself, giving others their 'due'?
Lord, sometimes it's hard to be kind
when the world throws 'dirt' my way.
Did I stop to think before I spoke my mind,
"What would Jesus say?"
Forgive me for the times I failed,
to let Your Light shine through me.
Still You stood by as together we sailed,
buffeted on life's troubled sea.
You at the helm held things calm and steady,
kept tossing waves from swamping my boat.
Day has waned, night time is here,
I am ready off to dreamland to float.
In these final moments of a day shared with You,
my heart turns toward less fortunate ones.
Opressed, alone...outside Your fold, too?
Through us may You reach those daughters and sons.
A lost world yearns for Your saving touch,
yet how will they hear if no one is sent?
To those for whom You died and love so much,
help us tread the selfless road down which You went.
Thank you for all Your blessings this day.
We rest in You now for service tomorrow, we pray.
Goodnight, God.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night.
Galatians 6:9-10
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap
if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good
unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

G O D
gave us life to spend here on earth.
So we can carve with our heart
and
write with the fingers of our soul,
A beautiful book:
Whose pages and story of life
will be read by
many ages to come.
THE PETALS OF MANY HEARTS
is a vessel of the love of
G O D
that HE wraps within each beautiful mind,
to shower their fullness of joy that gives and builds.
In a lifetime that leads and serves.
A life well lived is a piece of a masterpiece.
It is the toil of our heart and soul.
It can not be measured, it can not be seen.
It can only be felt, it is always hidden.
In the deepest corner of ones' heart,
and can only be seen by another
heart that is free.
It is like footprints in the sand,
that can be taken by the waves of water,
only to dwell in the sea, whose bosom carries so many lives.
Gather love
like how you gather little pebbles near the sea,
like how you catch in your hands
the little grains of sand.
And love will come back to you
like an overflowing rain
that your heart can never hold.
The rain of GOD's Love.
What each man achieves in
his lifetime
should be
a living witness of
his gifts from our
CREATOR.

My Master's Sunset
My Master's Sunset
When I am gone and I am cold,
weep not for me and dry those tears, it is
My Master's Sunset
and welcome, indeed!
I now leave you, all my beloved,
My Master's Sunset
is now upon me, with open arms and open heart.
My Master is here, to touch me,
to embrace me and to lift me.
My Master's Sunset
is now at hand, yes, I am sad and melancholy,
in a pensive mood too,
but I weep not because
My Master's Sunset
is galloping, and taking me to a distant shore,
where sadness is of no avail.
At last, I am with
My Master's Sunset.
Face to face and my longing to join Him,
is no stopping, no regrets, and no dismay.
So grieve not my children and my beloved,
my world of laughter is just beginning,
with cheers and unceasing melody.
And an unending joy, because I am now here, and
The Master's Sunset
is here to stay!

As Dawn Brushes Darkness Away
Ever so gently Dawn comes to greet Darkness,
touching, teasing, caressing,
blushing with delicate shades of color.
Then with rushing speed, she brushes him away.
Dawn secretively allows form and shape to be seen.
Bold silhouettes stand tall. Others float upon the sea.
Ocean waves applaud the action.
Glorious sun prepares to rise above it all.
Bright rays burst through openings in the clouds,
dance in streams above the horizon,
reflect upon waves moving toward shore.
A new day breaks upon the scene.
Victorious light has ushered in the morn.
Hush and color of newness afford breath taking drama
Quiet calm and beauty bring confidence and joy.
Reality of the creative, redemptive God, offers peace.
