NO DESERT PLACES

A skylight window in an attic room,to some, might have meant discouragement and gloom;but one brave heart refused to acknowledge dangeror insufficiency.

THE STAR

They were a people who for forty yearsPitched their great tents against the burning dark,Drank from the brook at Eshcol, and shed tearsUpon the meads of Ain and saw the arkBorne before Moses.

"GIVE YE THEM TO EAT"

My store seems meager, but they have come farTo glimpse the Christ.

RELEASE

"God requireth that which is past.

As thought begins to soar above the earth,And mortal weights release their fearful clutch,There dawns a deepening hope, a heartfelt touchOf Life and Love which signals the new birth.

LOVE IS SUPREME

Who loves the Lord above all elseShall every moment findAll things the Father hath are his,Within the realm of Mind.

"STRETCH FORTH THINE HAND"

O timid , fearful one.
