Stewards of God's Grace

God has entrusted us with gifts so rare,
Talents and resources beyond compare.
As stewards of His bounty, we must strive,
To use them wisely, keep His love alive.

He knows our strengths, our every need,
Equips us well, in word and deed.
For His glory and others’ gain,
We work with joy, through sun and rain.

Success demands our diligent hand,
Proactive hearts, a firm, strong stand.
In every task, both great and small,
We answer His divine call.

Responsibility is ours to bear,
To seize each chance, with utmost care.
For inaction breeds a stagnant soul,
But effort leads to a greater whole.

Eternal rewards await the true,
For those who serve in all they do.
“Well done, good servant,” He will say,
As joy and peace crown our way.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
