They fight the very same Evil

They fight the very same Evil,
the same actors, the Tsar or the dictators,
using the same terror, the same genocide,
against the same people, Ukraine…
 
Their fight, Ukraine, our allies,
far more than pure freedom,
to defeat the curse of Russia,
to quench this stain of Evil afoot…
 
In the West, we say we remember,
we will never forget, the atrocities,
but we give a seat of power,
to those with Evil lusts…
 
We must stand with Ukraine,
even more so in this hour,
to never see Muscovy, Russia,
as anything but Evil…
 
They are not legitimate,
a failed, corrupt nation-state,
built on the fallen, the nations,
their imperial lust, upon Evil intent…

They fight the very same Evil
 
So incredibly sad that #Ukraine is fighting the same #terror and #genocide today, that caused the #Holodomor, the same #Evil of #Russia, and the world believes Russia can ever be negotiated with... Russia must be defeated.

pour out Your blessing

pull Your answer, Lord,
to my fervent prayers,
my petitions, my cries,
from the spiritual realm,
where they have been written,
impart them to me now,
in the physical realm…
 
give to me, Lord, my God,
in Your mercy, Your power,
all that I have dreamed of,
all that I have prayed for,
all You have already answered,
may they come true in my life,
today, right now…

fulfilling our purpose

through prayers, persistence,
committing ourselves fully,
putting our lives,
on the altar of God…
 
fulfilling our purpose,
using our God-given talents,
offering ourselves,
to God’s holy calling…
 
living waters, love,
flowing within me, through me,
make me a worthy vessel, Lord,
filled so I may be poured…

filled to be poured

empty and broken,
fragile, yet filled,
living waters of love,
a willing vessel for God…
 
filled to be poured,
humbly, to be useful,
life-giving waters,
fount of God’s love…
 
rivers in the deserts,
seeds offered, scattered,
thrown up into the wind,
to find eager hearts…
 
filled to be poured,
while I am broken
seeking ever to be a vessel,
in the hands of God…

Mountains will move

If we would but have faith,
if we would truly believe,
if our prayers had power,
what more we would do…
 
Mountains will move,
doors will be opened,
rivers in the desert,
a way through the waters…

Why don’t we believe,
Choosing fetters on our spirits,
So much more could we accomplish
If we believe, if we trust in God…
