He loved you first
When you forget your worth
Stroll south cross yonder field wielding the burdens of your world
Rest them against the nearest telephone pole
Let your eyes find the driven nails
Let Him call to your mind what your life cost Him

It’s easy to regard devils and demons
figments of the imagination
Thin line between writing God
His son
and the angels
off to the same destination

Worse yet imagining them to be inside of human beings
Where neither can affect the ills of life on a grand scale

God must pity us our ignorance
The devil laughs in our distressed faces

Placing blame at the feet of the One able and willing to erase it
Twisting scripture he paints pictures of solitude where
God has never left off walking with you
God gives life freely
He doesn’t recklessly take it
Digressing for a second
I guess it’s easier to believe to rationalize grief
Than to know God’s love would never fathom such a thing
Since we’re powerless to make the devil pay his dues but

In due time
In due time

God doesn’t make plans
He purposes what
will
be
Plans are subject to the conditions of imperfection
They belong to man
Perfection liquefies the element for purpose to move through it fluid
God will bring you through it if indeed He brought you to it
Your understanding is not a prerequisite for his blessings
Just your faith and appreciation
Love
Most beloved of His creation
Joy
Look in the mirror for his reflection
Kindness
Stop dwelling on the deflections
Goodness
Know for certain your better qualities of heart
Peace
Are your inheritance from your Father
You are made of the finest ingredients
In spite of the devil’s attempts to throw salt
throw freezing shade
turn up the heat to a broiling blaze
Don’t ever doubt His purpose for you or His will and power to keep you safe'
though He will not always take away the burden
He will always make a way
You are the best you He has ever made
Yesterdays surrendered you to the promise of a clean slate today
In his eyes your flaws are a passing phase
Just give Him the reigns
Give Him the praise
Live your life to his glory the rest of your days
His love for you will handle the rest
Trust that He knows what’s best
He makes no mistakes
His purpose is always at work
Because he loved you first
