Words and Poetry By Brenda Botha, Inspired by God.
Safe in the Storm
This morning for the first time in forever, I noticed the birds flying free in the sky.
Unfazed by what’s happening…
Safe and Secure
While listening to Psalm 91,
which is my normal daily practice for a long while now, these words stood out to me this morning…
Lasting Love
When love leans towards you
and you are afraid
because of what you have lost in life…
Everlasting Love
Heavenly Father,
please peel back the petals
as I read Your pages of promises …
Leaning into Love
Abba,
My Father
-I lean against You
How Long is Long
How Long is Long?
It appears that long is a different length for each and every one of us…
Informed? Uninformed? Misinformed?
Whether I read every news article or not
doesn’t change what’s happening in the world
but it changes what is happening in me
Near
“Take courage,
strengthen your hearts and stand steady and firm,
for the coming of the Lord is very NEAR”
Your Kingdom Come …
Jesus,
You,
better than anyone else,
