No need to struggle with a broken sword
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” 1 John 4:7
God teaches us something from each phase of life
Sift all that vexes and quietly abide,
Welcome each blessing that comes your way
We attract what we hold inside.
Give the best of yourself to everyone
Mindful the Bible speaks highly of love,
The Shepherd who captured wind and sea
Gently beholds you from above.
No need to struggle with a broken sword
Claim the strength you are given today
And affirm the promise that assures you
The most high God will lead the way.
Notice, in the gardens leaves are turning
Nurtured and flourished by the rain,
Though in the meantime shadows may fall
Let’s dream of violets in the rain.
