LOVE

Gloria Phifer




Love, the most powerful force. Who can resist love?

Love, that will not let us go.

love, that returns again and again, even when rejected.

Love, the most powerful force that can soften the heart,

hardened as a stone.

Love, more powerful than a roaring ocean, washing my soul.

Setting my emotions free, from prisons held captive. 

love, embracing me, accepting me, choosing me.

Truly, the most powerful force is love. For God is Love!

His love was shown to me through Jesus Christ!

John 4:19 We love Him, because He first loved us.

WALK ON THE WATER

Gloria Phifer




            The night was dark as pitch.  The waves roared and the

                              wind blew as a gale.

  The Stars were blotted from view.  My boat rose and fell with 

                           each force of the waves.

  My heart pounded with fear.   I was alone on the sea.

            Walking on the water, Jesus came to me.

                In my terror I did not recognize Him.

  HIS Reassuring voice spoke comfort to my troubled heart,

                            "Don't be afraid."

            "Lord, if it's You, let me come to you on the water."

            "Come," He invited.


            The waves were turbulent and the wind fierce.

  With my eyes on Jesus, I stepped out of the rocking boat.

  The water was cold but stable under my feet.

                       As I looked at Jesus,

The natural became supernatural.  He made the waves to became

                                 calm before me

                     and I walked on the roughness of my sea.

  In the storms of life, He bids me walk on the water, with faith in 

                                        Him.

 When waves roar and the wind is fierce,
                                                            
Walk on the water with faith in Me.

When gale winds blow and the stars are blotted from view,

Walk on the water with faith in Me.

When you fear you are sinking and your circumstances look bleak,

 Walk on the water with faith in Me.

Though the storm blows hard and the sails on the ship are blown 

away,
                        Walk on the water with faith in Me.

                         I Am the stabilizing force
                                                            
                        I Am the calmer of the sea
                                                           
                        I Am the safety in the storm


                                                                      
                             Walk on the water to Me.
