Ego, Pride of Self



Ego, Pride of Self
When you allow Christ
 To touch and remove ego, 
The pride of self,
From the eyes,
You see again as a child. 
The white of the clouds 
And the blue of the sky,
The joy of creation 
In the path of the wind,
 The flight of a dove 
And the Love of a Friend, 
Jesus within;
Now look above and see as a child 
Touched by Him, 
And given His Love 
To live and be guided 
By Jesus within!

Lord, daily open my heart to build me in God’s word and keep the ego from my eyes,

Words




Words 
Words are always more than just words, 
They can, on any given day, either create or take away love. 
They will either lift another higher than the Heavenly stars above, 
Or place them low in the depths and the loneliness of hell. 
It is the feelings wrapped within those words the meanings forever tell. 
They can either construct or build within God's giving pure love,
Or take away and replace with Satan's loneliness, 
Built of the fears and worries of his self love. 
Reach out today to touch, change, and encourage another’s way. 
To strengthen and build them in love to follow and live God's way today. 
Words can either build or destroy on any given day. 
They can either make another reach out to Him and stay, 
Or turn and walk forever away living within lonely every day. 
Touch the Face of God today and every day, 
By using words wrapped with feelings that share and build His love that cares. 
They change the heart and build everyday. 
Words are more than just words, 
When used God's way today. 
Words 

Lord, you have built me with Your words of Love that share and care,
