You complete me, Lord!

  You Complete Me I was blind, but You by my side I see In this world seemed a piece of me missing To You Lord I can say, You complete me Even when to material things no plea Fullness to my soul these things dismissing I was blind, but You by my side I see For in the pain of woes this world set free To my past You forgiven in kissing To You Lord I can say, You complete me For Your embrace unlike any other When into Your arms I fell in grace You I belong, not seeking another In You Lord I finally found my place As in this world my being was lost For in Your love my heart now does embrace When to and froe my heart was tossed I was blind, but You by my side I see For in brokenness my heart You crossed To You Lord I can say, You complete me          ©Doris Elaine   Thoughts : We reach for completeness in that hole in our hearts in many ways, such as: a career, a marriage, a significant other in our lives,  material things, or even motherhood or fatherhood. But these things by themselves is

Poem of Thought

  Loving the Unlovely Test It sometimes can make one highly stressed In one's being seeing the importance Passing the loving the unlovely test To this spiritual test one has confessed One has only known it's unimportance For it sometimes can make one highly stressed Only with God to this one is blessed To grow in this area past self-importance Passing the loving the unlovely test The unlovely enter one's life as purposed A lesson in spiritual growth to be In loving one another as proposed As we all have faults unlovely to see Life has given or made us that way For the knowing to this most can agree When the test is given to one this day One needs not let it make one highly stressed Because God will bless you as He does say You passed the loving the unlovely test        ©Doris Elaine   Thoughts : We all have unlovely ways due life and life's situations.

A Poem for Thought

  After The Storm Birds Do Sing While in a storm tears become a thing Once it's past one learns to use one's voice Because after the storm birds do sing In a storm emotions it does bring One's being to this given no choice As while in a storm tears become a thing After new life is brought as in spring As one got through in it to rejoice Because after the storm birds do sing In the storm hard, but with God by one side He holds one's hand in letting one know In this to it's end He does provide Although in it one's voice does come slow As tears turn into a shout of joy It's over as one sings a hymn bestow In times a storm comes to one to destroy As in a storm tears become a thing But with God strength given as its convoy Because after the storm birds do sing        ©Doris Elaine  Thoughts : Ever notice how much and loud birds sing after a storm has past. Seems, it's the joy of making it through and of knowing a future is ahead that gives them their voice.

"Growing Strong in The Lord" Poem

  Let Go and Live One must learn how in life to thrive This sometimes past situations make it hard As one learns how to let go and live Even when hurt in past, to this forgive For in order to move on unbarred In learning how in life to thrive For one's future with God is well and alive To one's past He's forgiven with regard When one learns to let go and live Hard to live good stuck in the past It's to this hard place to self one does harm As opportunity slips by ever so fast To one's future He signals an alarm In knowing with God your future is bright As He guides one out of past to charm When to one's past happiness a fight One must learn how in life to thrive Draw near to God in His foresight In learning how to let go and live        ©Doris Elaine  Thoughts : We do sometimes get stuck in our past; especially when it has been hurtful and hard. In doing this we also forget, sometimes, how to thrive and live beyond our past. And in doing this we can also miss ou

A Poem for Thought

  If It Works, It Works We all have differences in our inner-works Some are more extreme than others Relations always are if it works, it works For some are weird, wacky, and sometimes jerks But in Christ we're all sisters and brothers We all have differences in our inner-works These differences can also have perks Allowed to breath their own, not smothers Relations always are if it works, it works Understanding hard upon encounter Patience needed to bond a connection Even when the relation seems a downer In this God knew in it's election For destiny be if not to quit Where strong the bond upon it's reflection Relations work if differences we admit As all have differences in our inner-works And to this giving respect to commit Relations always are if it works, it works        ©Doris Elaine  Thoughts : Relations, rather friends or more, will always have their ups and downs due each person having differences in their inner being; differences in opinion and in the way each ope

  Gambler Vs. Investor Your being can become a requestor Then your soul does soon rage in war Conflict be gambler vs. investor Matters to which one allows to fester And to which your thoughts you do pour Your being can become a requestor As sometimes your being can be a protestor When to the win the outside given more Conflict be gambler vs. investor Wants and desires of flesh a gambler That to one's being can take its toll Where one's thoughts soon become as a rambler Wants & desires an investor be the soul Where focused thoughts of God feeds one's spirit In helping to make one's being whole Gambling on a flesh call can dispirit As your being becomes a requestor Waging war your soul that be inspirit Conflict be gambler vs. investor        ©Doris Elaine  Thoughts : There is a spiritual war raging all around us; particularly over possession of our souls.

A Poem for Thought

  Given Not Earned To this in life I have certainty learned As God opened my eyes and soul to know Spiritual things are given, not earned As to the soul they flow and do show To this in life I have certainly learned I've learned it's in His timing they grow Spiritual things are given, not earned        ©Doris Elaine   Reference of Thoughts : Sometimes its hard to wait for things of a spiritual nature when it seems one has been waiting a long time; including, things prayed for as prayers are spiritual. But one can not hurry God and try to make them happen, as they will happen in His timing as spiritual things are given, not earned.  Consider Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 (NKJV): "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born,  And a time to die A time to plant,  And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill,  And a time to heal; A time to break down,  And a time to build up; A time to weep,  And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,  And

  Giving All My Trust in God Hard to know these days due so much fraud In giving of one's self it can be hard I'm giving all my trust in God Past hurt from humankind makes this flawed Especially when to the heart it scarred Hard to know these days due so much fraud But God can fix what's broken in awed Protection He gives one's soul to safeguard I'm giving all my trust in God Reinstatement in trust one looks to the Lord For with Him one soon learns of peace In knowing His love to your soul He poured Then knowing in Him one's trust at ease As one surrenders one's being to Him The pain of past soon does then release I know my trust not taken on a whim Hard to know these days due so much fraud For with Him I now sing praise with a hymn As I'm giving all my trust in God        ©Doris Elaine   Thoughts : With so much fraud out there these days it's so hard to know who to trust. And especially when it comes to matters of the heart where in this matter one

Growing Strong in The Lord Poem

  What I Want Doesn't Matter When to my flesh my thoughts do scatter My being can become greatly worried But to this what I want doesn't matter Considering wants or needs, its the latter To where my focus should be hurried When to my flesh my thoughts do scatter He serves my needs on a silver platter With God in this I'm always unworried As to what I want doesn't matter For the Lord knows me better than myself If my wants don't soon come to light I place my fleshly wants on a shelf Because I know to this He gives me light When to my wants my flesh cries out As it may not be good, myself despite Learning to these wants, not what its about When to my flesh my thoughts do scatter He does give my heart's desire with a shout Because to what I want doesn't matter        ©Doris Elaine  Thoughts : Sometimes our flesh can convince our being that we want something that we really do not need to carry on in our lives. Its okay to pray for things we want, but within that
