Joseph J. Breunig 3rd's Blog – September 2014 Archive (6)

O my Lord, help me with my request:

Set up Your permanent altar in my life.

Form the foundation of this altar,

with the unhewn rock of my stony heart,

since it represents the many hardships

of lack-luster, life experiences.

Organize these mundane rock fragments,

in a manner that is pleasing to You.

With this personal and secret platform,

I desire to commune with Thee frequently,

for it’s not for religious show or ceremony.

For my heart…

It’s a fresh morning of new mercies;

raise your hands in a moment of praise!

Do you recall that you’re in covenant

and covered with the blessings of today?

Spend some quiet and quality time with God;

speak genuinely and offer earnest prayers.

Lift up your concerns and needs of others;

demonstrate faith… by words you declare!

Celebrate the faithful witness of Christ;

open your spirit; pour out your soul to Him.

Find strength as you rejoice…

With my Lord, there isn’t an aint -

He’s not bound by human constraint!

With my Lord, my heart won’t feint,

even though… I’m not a sinless saint!

His continuous waves of love

echo throughout eternity,

with designed blessings that…

overtake both you and me!

My Lord sealed The Covenant

and His Kingdom is infinite!

His provisions are endless

and His Grace is measureless!

His continuous waves of love

echo throughout…

My desire is to be reflective

of the divine perspective

that highly exalts only Him,

throughout my being and my limbs.

A revelation of Christ’s Truth

is that He’s my fountain of youth.

I’m grafted into His true vine

that overflows with spiritual wine.

For more of Him and less of me

is the way that it needs to be;

O my Lord, please…

allow my faith to be fully employed,

whereby my ego is……

With daily renewing of the mind,

one is bound to learn and find

ideas for personal resolutions

that lead to a Kingdom solution.

Having Godly ideals and attitudes,

is more than possessing platitudes.

It’s about one’s choices and lifestyle

that leads to a life being worthwhile.

To be a true child of God,

one must have His Love shed abroad

and present in one’s actions

to obtain spiritual satisfaction.

For faith is not about…

Although we’re flawed,

as both sinner and saint,

we must learn to live

within Godly constraints.

Rain continues to fall -

both on the just and unjust;

faith requires maturation;

upon our Lord, we must trust.

We can cry out and praise Him

with supplications and our joy!

We are filled with confidence,

knowing we’re His girls and boys!

We can always rely on our Christ,

in all times and at every place.

Allow His peace…
