To Jesus: I am in the darkness And You are the light, The only light In this dark world. “Whom have I in heaven But You. And earth has nothing I desire But You.” The world is falling apart, But You stand firm.I will put my trust in You today Amidst the chaos of this […]
OH LORD, too often I think of everything else before I think of You. And my mind dwells on everyone else before it dwells on You. It is time for me put You first every minute of this day and the days ahead. You are not an afterthought. You are not the remains of the […]
