These Meditations of My Heart

“The Meditations of My Heart” has been designed as a collection of poetic writings. These writings have come in the midst of what I would call the most difficult storm that I have faced in my life. As I began to turn from a life of sin and rebellious living before the God and Creator of the universe, the world became as a frigid iceberg... Scripture Reflection “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” – Philippians 4:8 ________________________________________ Poem Selections ________________________________________ A Free Man I belong, therefore, I no longer have to belong I have no need to ponder or sing a sad song Joyful noises parade from my lips Back into reality my mind no longer takes trips A smile has become my favorite attire Bringing glory and honor to God is my only desire ________________________________________ He Has a Plan I was broken and desperate, hopeless and lost For the first time in my life, I stopped to count the cost There’s no price I could pay…No words I could say This beautiful gift of life I was slowly giving away Trapped in sin, trapped by the evil within I was playing a game… there was no way I could win My Lord, please save me, that was my cry As I felt my pain easing… I let go a sigh ________________________________________ Lesson Learned A lesson of mine comes through one circle in time I was so blind It would all be easy if I could just press rewind No buttons in life, I must deal with trouble and strife The chances I take, are they for profit or just fate? I live and I learn, it's so beautiful to watch the world turn ________________________________________ Closing Scripture “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32
