Dancing Winds (A Song for Spring)

Image courtesy feelart at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)

Winds dance

Through young leaves of spring,

Whispering of changes

My Creator does bring,

Singing of renewal,

Of things made new,

Of dark winter skies

Colored brilliantly blue,

Of pain and loss

Becoming fertile ground

For every sweet grace

My soul has found.

Yes, the winds dance

Through leaves of green,

Whispering of changes

Now yet unseen…

And so my heart

Smiles in this dance,

Singing of Jesus

Each and ev’ry chance,

For He is my Maker,

One renewing all,

He is Creator of seasons,

Of spring and fall,

He is the sunshine

Brightening the skies,

He is the hope

Wiping tears from my eyes.

So with dancing winds

Which now abound,

I sing of every grace

My soul has found,

I sing of renewal,

Of things made new,

Of dark winter skies

Colored brilliantly blue…

Yes, as winds dance

Through young leaves of spring,

I rejoice in the changes

My Jesus does bring!

How do you celebrate renewal and refreshment in Jesus?

“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” ~ Genesis 9:13

Your rainbow of love

Shines above me,

A kiss of Your grace,

A touch of eternity,

A window to Heaven,

A song of grace,

A sign of Your mercy,

A glimpse of Your face,

A colorful gift,

A promise to endure,

A covenant holy,

A love ever pure…

Yes, Your rainbow of love

Above me does shine

With Your colors of grace

Delightful and divine.

So I will sing

In sun and in rain,

I will rejoice

In comfort and pain,

I will smile

No matter what You bring,

Yes, in all things

For You I will sing.

From the pain

You bring a joyful song,

Rooted in Your love

So wide, deep and long.

From the tears

You inspire smiles bright,

The depth of darkness

You melt with Your light.

The stormy days

With love You kiss,

Donning them with a rainbow

Of love and bliss.

Yes, Your colorful rainbow

Is Your promise to endure,

Your covenant holy,

Your love ever pure.

It leads me to Heaven,

Kisses me with grace,

Shows me Your mercy,

The light of Your face.

O, Your rainbow of love

Shines above me…

So, Jesus, I am yours

For all eternity!

How do you celebrate Jesus’ rainbow of love?

Poem: Make My Spirit Fly

Make My Spirit Fly

Image courtesy markuso at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

When my heart is heavy,

When tears brim in my eye,

When I long like a bird

To escape and to fly,

When the way is dim,

When I am weak and weary,

When all about seems

So dark and dreary,

I see a glimmer

Of Your love-filled light,

Like the dawn of day

You shine through my night…

And my heart cannot help

But feel a surge of peace,

As into Your hands

All I am I release.

Every worry, every woe,

Every trial, every tear,

Every pain, every problem,

Every fight, every fear –

All I release

To You, Jesus, my King,

And I embrace the goodness

Your loving hands bring.

You pave my path

With bright light You shine,

You kiss away tears

With Your love divine,

You instill a song

Ever beautiful, ever new;

Yes, lovely is all You are,

All You say, all You do.

You make strong my bones

Once weak and weary,

You make bright the valleys

Once dark and dreary.

Yes, You restore the sparkle,

The pure joy in my eye…

Jesus, You are my light,

You make my spirit fly!

How does Jesus make your spirit fly?

Poem: Heartwarming Love

Wisdom of Winter - Inspirational Christian Poem by Caroline Gavin of Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching

Heartwarming Love

Image courtesy Evgeni Dinev at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“For thus the LORD has told me, ‘I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.’” ~ Isaiah 18:4

Cold it may be,

The winds may blow,

Yet wonderful the warmth

My heart does know,

Gray the skies,

Dark the clouds above,

Yet bright is the light

Of Your sweet love,

Wintry storms

May rage around me,

Yet calm I am

In arms of infinity…

Yes, cold it may be

In the world outside,

Yet warm I am

As in You I abide.

You, Lord Jesus,

Make summer the winter day

By the love You shine

On my pathway.

Your smile brightens

The dark winter sky,

Your song inspires

The birds to soar high,

Your love melts

The ice and the snow,

Your grace shows

The way I must go.

So I lift this song

To You, my King,

Yes, in every season

For You I sing.

I rejoice in the love

You endlessly shower,

In Your heartwarming graces,

In Your infinite power.

Though wintry storms

May rage around me,

Calm I am

In Your arms of infinity,

Though gray be the skies,

Dark the clouds above,

Bright is the light

Of Your sweet love…

Yes, cold it may be,

The winds may blow,

But Your heartwarming love

Is all that I know!

Heavenly is Jesus’ heartwarming love! How has it warmed your days and changed your life?

Poem: Smiling Snowflakes

Smiling Snowflakes

Image courtesy Vichaya Kiatying-Angsulee at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow…” Matthew 28:3

Snowflakes falling,

Brilliant and bright,

Clothing the earth

In radiant white,

Dancing blithely

In cold winter air,

Each with a song

To happily share,

Gliding gracefully,

Landing on the ground,

Such that white blankets

Everywhere abound…

And in the snowflakes,

As they fall ‘round me,

I see a promise of life,

A kiss of eternity.

For Jesus, my Jesus,

Speaks to me in the snow,

Whispering of wonders

I have yet to know:

In the cold of life

There is beauty too,

All things in due time

God does renew.

Yes, this season of snow

Will give way to spring;

In the winters of life

We find sweet blessing.

So let us remember

As snowflakes are falling

That our Lord Jesus

Is still to us calling.

His graces to us

Everywhere abound,

No less now than when

Salvation we found.

His love with us

Forever He does share,

Sweet is His love,

Rich beyond compare.

Yes, in snowflakes falling,

Brilliant and bright,

We feel the love of Jesus,

We see His eternal light!

How do you celebrate smiling snowflakes and eternal Sonshine?

Dance with Joy

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
“Winter Sun” by Evgeni Dinev

“The young women will dance for joy,
and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration.
I will turn their mourning into joy.
I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.” ~ Jeremiah 31:13

Snowflakes falling,

Countless before me,

Dancing in the winds,

Cloaking every tree,

Covering the fields,

Making the world white,

Surely it is a gift

To behold the wintry sight.

Only God Himself

Could create such a dance;

Countless snowflakes

Could not arise by chance.

With love and with beauty

He creates one and all;

Yes, God has ordained

Each snowflake to fall.

See with what love

He has sculpted each flake;

Behold the beauty

Of crystals He does make.

Surely if such love

He gives to flakes of snow,

Greater love to His children

The Lord does show.

Fearfully and wonderfully

He has made each one,

And all His children enjoy

Grace from the Son.

So like the dancing flakes,

May we choose to celebrate:

Let us sing for joy

In all God does create.

Yes, let us praise Jesus,

Let us cloak ourselves in white,

Let us fix our eyes on Heaven,

For the Son is our Light.

And like snowflakes falling,

Countless for us to see,

Let us dance with joy

For all God made us to be.

How do you dance with joy for Jesus?

Poem: Sunshine and Rain

Sunshine and Rain

Image courtesy Sarah Arbogast at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“He dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.” ~ 2 Samuel 23:4

Sunshine and rain,

You need both, My child,

The days that are stormy,

The days that are mild,

The rains that pour,

The skies of bright blue,

Winters to rest,

Springtimes to renew,

The sowing, the harvest,

The night, the day,

The cloudless skies,

The dark skies of gray,

For tell Me, child,

Have you seen the flower,

What makes it grow?

What is its power?

Surely the blossom

Needs sun and rain,

Just as the soul

Needs joy and pain.

So trust Me always

In all that I send,

For I am Your Guide,

Always Your Friend.

I allow in your life

Only what is best,

While here in My arms

You find sweet rest.

Should the raindrops

Pour from the sky,

Should the tears

Stream from your eye,

Remember these waters

Nourish blossoms to grow,

Remember in pain

My grace does grow.

I give winters to rest,

Springtimes to renew,

The rains that pour,

The skies of blue,

The days that are stormy,

The days that are mild;

Yes, sunshine and rain,

I give both, My child!

How do you embrace both sunshine and rain?

Poem: Colorful Changes

Colorful Changes

Image courtesy Evgeni Dinev at www.freedigitalphotos.net

Sunshine streams

Through colorful leaves,

Songs of change

Whisper in the breeze,

Rhythms rejoice

In the leaves rustling,

Happiness hums

In the children bustling,

Aroma of ciders

Dances upon the air,

Autumn skies burst

With blue bright and clear,

And all around me,

Yes, everywhere I go,

Your love, O Lord,

Does radiantly show.

In the lovely seasons

As they progress,

Your wisdom, my Jesus,

I humbly confess.

Like the seasons

May I be faithful too,

Showing in all things

My deep love for You.

Like the leaves

May I gratefully release

All I know

That Your heart I please.

Like the skies

May I allow Your light

To shine through me

With glory and might.

And like the children

Happy in this season,

May I remember my joy

Is rooted in One Reason,

Yes, as happiness hums

In the children bustling,

As rhythms rejoice

In the leaves rustling,

And as sunshine streams

Through colorful leaves,

I sing of Your love

That brings me to my knees!

Colorful changes abound in Autumn and in every season, as Jesus continually changes and renews us for the highest good. How do you celebrate these colorful changes?

Poem: Open Your Eyes

Image courtesy Feelart at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~ Job 12:7-10

Look at the birds,

What do you see?

Do you appreciate a dance

Orchestrated by Me?

Listen closely to the sea,

What do you hear?

Do you sense My symphony

Splashing ever clear?

Breathe deep in the garden,

What do you smell?

Do you taste Heaven

More than words tell?

Embrace the sunshine,

What do you feel?

Do you experience love

Ever perfect, ever real?

Yes, look and listen closely,

Breathe, feel and taste,

Let no precious moment

Ever go to waste.

For all around you,

In each and every thing,

Are wondrous windows

To my endless blessing.

I love you immeasurably,

So My gifts abound;

Open your eyes to miracles

Unfolding all around.

Listen closely to the sea,

Be still to hear

My sweet eternal symphony

Splashing ever clear.

And as the birds dance,

Delight in what you see,

For these gifts, My child,

Open your eyes to Me.

Blessed are you when you open your eyes to Jesus’ treasures! How do you celebrate His glorious gifts?

Poem: A Treasure You Are

Image courtesy Rosemary Ratcliff at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.” ~ Psalm 139:14

A treasure you are,

Yea, a treasure you are to me,

Open your eyes, My child,

I will let you see:

More valuable to Me

Than all stars in the sky,

Lovelier to Me

Than mountains stretching high;

More beautiful to Me

Than flowers of the fields;

More radiant to Me

Than light the sun yields.

Yes, a treasure you are,

This, child, please know;

I will wrap you in My care

Every step you may go.

Do not worry,

Do not let your eyes tear,

Embrace My love,

Do not ever fear.

For if you are to Me

Worth many a sparrow,

Will I not provide for you

On My straight and narrow?

As You are more valuable

Than all stars in the sky,

Lovelier to Me

Than mountains stretching high;

Yea, a treasure you are,

A treasure you are to me;

Look in My eyes, child,

There My love you will see!

A Treasure you are to your Creator and King! How do you celebrate how treasured He is to you?
