Mother Wound

Mother Wound
The mother wound strikes deep
Deep to the heart and soul
Deep to crush the spirit. 

The mother wound Internally bleeds
Bleeds insecurity and despair,
Bleeds worthlessness and fear

The mother wound leaves scars
Scars that understand the pain of others
Scars that bring passion to love well

The mother wound is not God's plan,
Plan for a hope and a future,
Plan to treasure and hold precious.

The mother wound needs time, 
Time to heal through love from others
Time to forgive when others fall short. 

Worship: Let My Words Be Few

A Perspective on Worship:
Let My Words Be Few

I will worship in the truth;
You are God; I am not,
You're on the throne; I am on earth,
You're the Creator, I am the created.
Or let my words be few.

I will worship with a worthy response;
I stand in awe,
Dance undignified, 
Raise my hands and voice,
Or let my words be few.

I will worship with an unwavering heart;
I give my time and energy to your word,
Seek to walk in your ways,
Love You with all my heart.
Or let my words be few. 

God

God's face...

I see anger, impatience and annoyance.

He says, "That is not Me;

I am loving, patient and full of compassion."

God's voice...

I hear criticism, condemnation and rage.

He says, "That is not Me;

I speak forgiveness, encouragement and abundant grace."

God's touch...

I feel afraid, ashamed, rejected

He says, "That is not Me;

My touch brings peace, comfort and complete acceptance."

God's face, voice and touch,

They are like no other.

I see Him, hear Him and feel Him;

And I am whole.

Others may take your possessions,

Invading the places you thought safe.

Someone may even steal your innocence,

Bringing confusion and shame.

It is Finished

To prove my worth I tried,

To be perfect,

To be smart,

To be pretty,

To be witty,

To be a model Christian,

Pleasing and serving others.

But now,

It Is Finished.

Christ did the perfect work

To prove my worth.

In Him,

I am perfect,

I am wise,

I am accepted,

I am beautiful,

I am of great worth.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Jesus

Jesus is the Commander in Chief.

Enemies flee from Him,

Opening prison doors,

Setting captives free.

Jesus is the Pure, Living Water.

He quenches your deepest thirsts,

Leaving you refreshed, whole and secure.

Jesus is the Powerful Doctor.

He heals broken hearts and bodies,

And even raises the dead.

Jesus is the Best Teacher.

He explains the secrets of life,

And gives insight into your pain.

Jesus is the Shrewd Broker.

He exchanges beauty for ashes,

Joy for mourning,

And a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.

Jesus is the Straight Shooter.

He boldly tells you the truth,

Giving warnings for the future.

Jesus is the Faithful Friend.

He prays for you daily,

And takes the blame for your wrongs.

Jesus is the Perfect Son.

He obeys His Father in all things,

Even to the point of death.

Jesus is all of these and more.

Will you trust Him?

Will you make Him your Lord?
