Tomorrow

Tomorrow
By Shanae N Boston
Yesterday I had a list of things to accomplish,
Something came up so I said maybe tomorrow.
Last week I was gonna attend Bible Study,
But I was tired so I decided maybe tomorrow.
Yesterday I decided to set aside some time to speak with God,
Something came up, but I will get around to it tomorrow.
Yesterday I decided that I need to start reading my Bible,
When I read my eyes get tired I need to rest them so I will do it tomorrow.
Yesterday I decided it would be nice to thank God for all of his wonderful blessings.
I got kinda busy and forgot, but I will remember to do it tomorrow.
Yesterday I meant to tell my kids that I love them,
Oops, I forgot that to, but I will do it tomorrow.
Today
The Lord decided that my time is up.
“My child, today your life on earth shall end what do have to say regarding your time there?”
But God there are so many things I have left to do.
So many things I have yet to accomplish.
My time can’t be up it can’t possibly be tomorrow.
I still need to say thanks to you. I need you to answer my questions about your Word, and help me understand it. I need to talk to my kids and make sure they know I love them.
Can’t you just come back for me tomorrow?
“My child I am sorry about the things you have yet to accomplish.
My word was available to you and questions you had would have been addressed at the Bible Studies you missed. You could have told me thank you in the prayers that you were to tired to complete.
It was your job to make sure that all that you cared about knew how much you loved them on a daily basis.
I never promised you a tomorrow, and I gave you plenty of time to get your affairs in order. You chose not to use that time.
I am sorry my child but your tomorrow has finally become TODAY.

Why Do You Love Me

Why Do You Love Me
Why do you love me inspite of what I do?
Why do you love me inspite of what I take you through?
Why do you love me when I bypass the good and choose the bad?
Why do you love me because I know my choices sometimes make you sad?
Why do you still love me when I choose to go against your holy plan?
Why do you choose to love me and keep me in your hand?
Why do you love me enough to always be there for me?
Why do you love me so much that you make ways I can’t see?
Why do you love me even when my faith in you starts to sway?
Why do you love me when I let life’s obstacles get in my way?
Why do you love me when the world says that I will always do what is wrong?
Why do you love me when I fail to know that with you by my side I really am strong?
Why do you love me so much that you whisper to me over and over again all things are possible?
Why do you still love me even when I fall weak and begin to view the world as unconquerable?
The voice of the Lord says:
Ok my child you have asked all these questions of me.
Now I ask you to sit back and see.
See how all the wrong decisions you made taught you lessons and gave you a desire to do right.
See that the desire versus the struggle to do right is just a part of your spirit versus the flesh fight.
I love you because with love and kindness shall I draw you.
You have a purpose. I have seen and I know who you were created to be and it is the everyday aspects and trials and tribulations of life that are shaping you into that “Purposed Person”.
Even in the midst of your dark and dreary situation keep your focus on me, for I am your way.
I am a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.
With me as your way your truth and your light you will be able to stand strong and not sway.
Learn from your mistakes, but do not dwell on them.
No man on Earth is or was perfect except me; therefore the only person that has the power to judge or convict you is ME.
Keep in mind Proverbs 24:16 “For a righteous man falleth seven times and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
I choose to love you inspight because I am you father, and I cannot turn my back on my children just because they make a mistake.
I created you in my image. I know every hair on your head, every thought in your mind, and every ache and pain in your body.
I know you by name, and I hold you dear to my heart.
I delight in your willingness to try and do right.
Know this that who you are now is not the person that you are destined to be.
You are still in the molding process, but after you come out of the fire you will really be as pure as gold and abke to do my work and fulfil your destiny.
That my child is why I choose to Love You Inspite Of!!!!

Perfect Peace

Perfect Peace
By D*I*V*A*

On that day that you went away
It was an unrealistically cloudy and gray day
The feelings that set upon my heart was extreme pain
Inside my mind I felt like I was going insane
All I wanted to do was lay in my bed and cry
Because I believed that without you in my life I would surely die
Then behold on that glorious day
I cast my cares on Jesus and he took my pain away
In the midst of all of my pain and sorrow
The lord showed that in him I would find my hope for tomorrow
He empowered me with the strength that I needed to stand
And showed me that beside me he always stood holding my hand
The Lords presence turned my darkness into light
And because I trusted and believed he made everything alright
So now I have learned not to focus on the darkness in the day
Or the fact that the clouds in the sky have all turned gray
Now I fall on my knees and begin to pray
For Jesus has already proven that he can take my pain away
Casting my cares on him allows him to work them out
And my prayers help me to trust him and eliminate all my doubts
So now in Jesus I have found perfect peace
And this peace has truly been my ultimate release!!!

Blessed and Highly Favored

Blessed and Highly Favored

One day you need to take the time to reevaluate your life from beginning to end.
Think about how the world seemed to be before the Lord stepped in.
How the simplest problem could turn into something so complicated.
And on any decisions that were to be made you always procrastinated.
The path of life just seemed to be endless
And you found no direction in all of your mess.
You couldn’t seem to differentiate between up and down.
On your face could always be found a frown.
Oh Happy Day was not a song embedded in your heart.
Because with happiness was not the way that your day would normally start.
But on that glorious day when you said enough is enough
Because the road ahead looked a little to rough.
To tough for you to handle on your own.
For you finally realized that you really are not that strong.
You fell to you knees and began to pray
Oh Heavenly Father please remove all these obstacles out of my way.
Please remove me out of the midst of this turbulent storm.
Please do not allow the trials to prosper against me or continue to form.
Please order my steps the way you would have them to go.
Help me to stand strong that I will not waiver to and fro.
Teach me all that I will need to stay in your will.
I long for one of those personal experiences with you that only occur behind the veil.
I await you to breathe into me the breath of life.
For your presence has the power to remove all my guilt and strife.
Your presence is truly like a sweet smelling savor.
And because you are with me always I have found immeasurable favor.
I understand now that through you all things are possible.
Through you I can overcome what others view as unconquerable.
Through you I have absolutely no limitations.
For standing by my side is the ruler of ALL creation.
You have shown me now that I am the head and not the tail.
This gives me that attitude now that no matter what comes against me I shall always prevail.
Some people view this attitude as arrogance or define me as being conceited.
However I beg to differ for I say that it is confidence in knowing with God at my side I am no longer defeated.
He is my peace, my comforter, and my shining light.
Pressing me toward the mark of a higher height.
A higher height in you is where I need to be.
That is the only way I can get to know you intimately.
Because of my relationship with you I am now blessed beyond compare.
And this is a blessing that with the entire world I have a desire to share.

A Closer Walk with Thee

A Closer Walk with Thee
By D*I*V*A*

Oh how I long to be with thee
To sail away on a cloud and live free
High in the sky is where I long to be
For that is where I can have a closer walk with thee.
Of for a walk with my savior is what I long for
Just a closer walk with the one whom I adore
A walk with the Savior so strong and so true
A walk with my Savior who carries me thru
A walk with my Savior so patient and pure
The one who has been there to help me endure
Endure the things that cause me strife
Endure my situations so that I’m not overwhelmed by my life
My Savior has shown me unconditional love
My Savior watches over me from Heaven above
My Savior protects me like no one else can
Because he always keeps me in the palm of his hand
Oh what a closer walk with my Savior does for me
How a walk with my Savior shows me situations I could not see
A walk with my Savior helps me to sail
Sail to that place behind the veil
A place where joy, peace, and love abide
The place where in my Fathers bosom I can hide
A walk with Jesus is truly the best
A walk with Jesus can help you pass any test
A closer walk with Jesus is what you need to make it
And know that your walk with Jesus you can not fake it
Jesus sees and he knows all
He is standing there waiting on your call
Oh how He longs for a closer walk with you
In that walk the Savior will carry you thru
The Savior is standing awaiting you to call his name
Then from the Heavens the angels will proclaim
Oh Lord your child has come home to be
Because she longed for a closer walk with thee.

Teach Me

Teach Me
By Shanae N Boston

Teach me how to love you
Teach me how to care
Teach me how to be obedient
When you need me to be there

Teach me how to forgive
Teach me how to forget
Teach me how to press on
Even when I want to quit

Teach me how to be wise
Teach me how to be pure
Teach me how to stand strong
Even when I am truly unsure

Lord I have a desire to do right
I have a desire to press on with this Biblical Fight
Even when I know what is right
I may do what is wrong
You have now taught me that I really am strong

“A strong, mighty, woman of God” is what you called me
But it didn’t matter until I could see

See who I am in you
Take a look at my life from your view

When I took time to reevaluate
My life from your view
It taught me everything that I needed it to

DIVA is who I am
Divine, Inspirational, Victorious, and Anointed
Called out and chosen to do the work of God

I now know that I am a
Divinely appointed
Inspirational Leader who is
Victorious over ALL adversaries because
She is TRULY Anointed by GOD!!!
