She Stands

I absolutely love this tree.  Every time I pass it, it draws me in and tells me a story. I see it's strength....... I see it's beauty. I hear it's whispers of wisdom through it's bustling leaves....  I see it's smiles of sunshine through the blooms.  I feel it's calmness from past storms..... I feel the serenity of it's peace. I see my life's song through my daddy God in this tree.  My strength comes from my roots planted in the soil of Gods word.  My inner beauty is Christ shinning through me in a dark world. My wisdom comes from his whispers into my soul.  The sunshine of my blooms shine from the ones he has placed in my path to speak life and encourage me daily. My calmness comes from  past storms which has taught me He is forever in control and holds me in the palm of his hand.  My serenity of peace is wrapped in his unconditional love for me, never to leave nor forsake me.  ...

James 1:5-8 5  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,  who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.   6  But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,  because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.   7  That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.   8  Such a person is double-minded  and unstable  in all they do. I believe in the power of prayer..... I believe and trust when I speak to my daddy God he hears me, His daughter...... I believe He listens to my every word with the sweetest of love........ I believe He takes each emotion with my prayers and holds them to His heart for safe keeping.   I believe every feeling I have has the  utmost  importance to  Him.  I do believe.............. Then why at times do I toss so much? It's the natural ....... The human nature in me...
