Glorious return

Oh, how beautiful,
this array:
stars speckled across a velvet sky,
a reminder of His awesomeness.

How precious,
this miracle:
the gift of new life,
as He sends His One and Only Son.

So beautiful,
this display:
of love,
arms spread wide on the cross.

How majestic,
a life well-lived:
He breathes His last breath,
it is finished.

So wonderful,
as we await His return:
pushing forward, sharing His love;
we dream of a day with no suffering.

Glorious,
this anticipated day:
The bridegroom comes to retrieve His bride, the whole Earth rejoices;
as He calls us home.

I need not worry

I'd rather not have my heart toyed around with any longer...
I'm past that point and thought that you were, too.
I am longing for something that lasts,
something God-given and that will glorify Him.
I'm tired of thinking that I've found something special and having to find out that I was wrong.
Lord, I need you to keep me strong.
Remembering You are all that matters,
and how You told me not to worry...
It's all in Your hands.
