Outside, Under the Sky

Posted by Christina Morley |


Outside
Under the sky
I see the rain falling
In the night
Falling
Shimmering
Pierced by a light
Above my head
Falling
Glimmering
Gently washing my face
Washing it of every trace
Of frustration
And discouragement
Falling
Wet and cool
Refreshing
I lift my head
I lift my hands
In the night
To catch the rain
Within in my sight
Falling
Like tiny diamonds
Presents to my soul
Filling me with peace
And making me whole
Falling
Swirling
Tickling my skin
In the darkness of the night
Standing in the rain
With one single light
Above my head
Outside
Under the sky
Free

Our Children

Posted by Christina Morley |


There is no army without formal training,
Equipment, or plan for implementing.
Instead, each soldier knows how to fight
With his weapons in hand, his goal in sight.

Our children are the same; they rely on you and me.
Let’s not send them out as guppies into the sea.
The sharks have teeth and they sure can bite.
The darkness wages war against the light.

Our weapons are not guns, fists, or knives.
They are not for destruction, but are to save lives.
Our weapons are prayer, the Word, and His Spirit.
We have the victory cry, so let them hear it!
