Sacrifice

To become more holy as Christ would have us come to be,Requires daily sacrifice, am I willing to open my eyes and see?The alter of the Lord open to carry my burdens upon his back,Or find myself unwilling to unload due to the faith that I lack. To give away my favorite sins on theContinue reading “Sacrifice”

A lifetime of fear and doubts fill my mind with consistency,As I struggle to understand who it was that rescued me.Who provided me with spiritual nourishment in the day,I begged for mercy as I battled my demons along the way.

When our hearts begin to fail in thickContinue reading “Enduring to The End”
