Ever feel like the trials in your life really rock your heart like storms on an ocean? Dramatic, I guess, but that’s how I felt when I wrote this. It seems that God’s Word is the only thing that can calm the storms and I am okay with that. In fact, I rejoice over it! He is a GOOD Father!

The Glassy Sea

Emotions rage and roll in every part

Upon the glassy sea that is my heart

Churned by life’s decisions there is stress

Until my Jesus speaks, then happiness

He tells me of the choices we must make

In paths of struggle, ‘oft without a break

And as the ocean softens every shell

His love will smooth my heart in every swell

He files my feelings, molds them to His way

Submitting to His will keeps joy in bay

As only God can do, He calms my sea

Soothes emotion’s storm inside of me

I ride in peace in waters of His love

His buoyant hope has turned my eyes above

My temporary life, though it will pass

Leads me to the only One that lasts

Eternity will never sorrow hold

For troubles do not live on streets of gold

With love from the Father to you, have a great day, knowing God’s got you!
