I pray that by reading this, it may help you realize all that God has done for you and how much He really loves you. Think about the mess you were in and how you thought you wouldn't make it through. But you're here now, more refined, more polished. Now it's a new day. Realize, there are renewed blessings coming your way. Just realize that God loved us enough to send his only begotten son, Jesus, to die so that we may have life. On top of that, Jesus loved us enough to tell us, with our flaws and everything, that He is preparing a home for us in heaven just by accepting Him as our personal Lord and Savior and living a life modeled after Him. It may be hard, but look what Jesus' love did for us. I don't know about you, but I feel loved. Ain't no lovin' like God's lovin'.
Dear God,
Everything that you've done for me, I wish I could just hug you/ I love you/ That's why I place no one above you/ I love you so much/ I can't breathe without you, I can't live without your healing touch/ by bringing me through so much/ I know I was blessed by your son Jesus' strength to make me so tough/ And people ask me, what can your love do? and I tell them your love got me through school/ that your love saved me from the deep end of death's pool/ your love took me home when I had no business being out/ your love kept me from letting spiteful words come out of my mouth/ that your love has been there before I was born into this world we're in/ that your love is going to stay with me through thick and thin/ and I know that your love is all I need to survive/ and that your love is never cut short because you overly supply/ your mercy and love has brought me through/ everything that I've been through/ and if people knew what you knew/ then they would know that myself alone would have been through/ That's why each day I praise and love you more and more/ when I'm against all odds/ I know I have you God/ to even the score/ and I praise your name with each breathe I take/ each step I take/ each move I make/ and since you're the O.N.E. G.O.D./ that gives me that true T.L.C./ I can step out on faith/ and I love you because you enabled me to think with the head on my shoulders/ I'm your heavenly soldier/ and I'm not worried about what the quote, unquote cool people deem as cool/ because the One I'm worried about passing judgement is you/ I love you because you loved me first/ you loved me even before I put you first/ and you loved me enough to send your only begotten son, and your son, Jesus loved me enough to die for my sins/ and I love Jesus because in Him I have THE best friend/ so thank you Lord for each and everything that you've done, without you I am not the same/ these and all the blessings I thank in your son Jesus Christ's sweet and precious name....Amen.

"Self" Therapy
This post is a little different. I'm trying to let God use me how He wants to use so I decided to add my poetry to this blog.
I haven't really wrote poetry for a while but I do hope that anyone who reads this likes it. As I try to continue on with the gift of poetry, I also try to refine it by adding components from the past, present and even future. I just pray that God uses me how He wants to use me and guides my pen or fingers everytime I write a poem or lyrics.
This poem just kind of shows how someone might struggle with things and almost have a soul therapy session within prayer. Realize that in this poem, there is no specfic response from God. Sometimes God lets us work through things to help us grow in Him. So by the end of this poem/conversation/prayer praise is being offered up as a result of realizing that God is needed in my life, your life, thier lives, our lives. I hope this is a blessing to you and those you know. God Bless.
"Self" Therapy
Lord, what's wrong with me?
I know the things I've done are so wrong of me.
Why does it seem like you've hid your face for so long from me?
Wait....you were never hiding, I was looking in the wrong direction.
I want to trust in you always but I only call on you at my own discretion.
Teach me a lesson.
Lord, break me down to rebuild me up.
Use me like an empty cup.
I need the Living Water so I'll never thirst again with your Holy Spirit, please fill me up.
And I know the devil is defeated but this sin in me,
Keeps on temptin' me.
My flesh needs to die daily because it's trying to put an end to me.
And ain't it somethin',
How I keep frontin'?
Like you don't deserve all the praise in my victories, credit me with nothin'.
Completely do away with the old me, the me before I knew you.
Show me what I need to do.
I'm on my knees, please I'm desperately needing you.
And I know, I know I need to be strong enough in you not to turn my back.
You shouldn't always have to call me back.
I have to stay mindful of you to keep our relationship in tact.
But Lord, I'm on the edge, I'm at the end of my rope.
Jehovah Jireah, my provider, my everlasting hope.
I want to be on fire for you, I can't afford to become ash and smoke.
So I'll keep on burnin'.
Everyday I'm learnin'.
Abba, my father, for your healing touch I'm truly yearnin'.
So I lift my hands up ceding to and praising you,
For what you've done, are doing and going to do.
You are holy and righteous and I give you thanks for allowing me to fall back in love with you.
