Diamonds from Heaven By Sharon Lambkin MY STRONG TOWER IN THE MIST OF THE STORM My little one so burdened down with life.
Can't seem to see anything ahead but strife. The enemy has come against you with his full power.
Not realizing that you are MY strong tower. When the enemy has seen what you have done with all that he put in your path,
he will realize his mistake has made you walk closer to Me as your Strong Staff. My daughter as you grow stronger in Me you will stand in Awe.
As you touch many a broken heart with the New Wine I have given you as the very key. You are like the beautiful mature grapes upon the vine.
You will see I have nurtured you and made you a new kind. Just as the grapes fend off the many perils of nature and continue maturing and growing,
I have kept my hand on you my child and you are soon ready to start sowing. The seeds I have for you to plant are many,
and you will find as you draw upon me the wisdom, knowledge and courage
will always be plenty. As the grapes are harvested and put in the wine press,
it will seem as life has come alive.
OH! How can something good come out of this mess? The same will be with you my little one.
Give Me praise and thanksgiving in all your pain.
The harvest is about to begin through my power,
flowing from the Living Water in all that you have done. As the New Wine is tasted
no one questions how much was almost wasted. Oh help me My little one to touch those who are in a mess,
they must hurry and for the wedding feast they must dress. LOOK FOR MY VOICE As the dawn comes alive and the skies open up,
My sweet warrior look to me and let me fill your cup.
You feel as though I am way beyond the skies,
And through your mind go the many whys.
My sweet children keep me just out of reach,
When I love to walk with them and so gently teach.
You feel I don't speak to you because you hear no voice,
When all along I am there helping you to make your choice.
When troubles hit, you search and search for me,
I am only a breath away, don't you see.
Call out to me, lift up your arms, put your hand in mine,
Walk with me side by side and from this heavenly manna we shall dine.
When the tears roll down your cheeks in utter despair,
Do you not feel the angels touch as they gently show their care.
Your tears are dropped at my feet and I mix it with the tears rolling down my cheek.
My precious one, My heart hurts when your heart hurts, but leave your cares at My feet.
Do you not feel that gentle touch as my arms are wrapped around?
Stop looking beyond the skies and in your heart my love will be found.
I speak to you each morning as the sun dances on your hand.
I am there beside you as your feet gently touch the sand.
I am there with you as the rain washes my creations beauty.
As some of you read my word because you feel it is your duty.
Don't you know my Word is meant for you this day.
Written hundreds of years ago, but still points out the way.
I speak and I speak if only you will read.
Help others to the Word and plant the seed.
I speak loud and clear in all that I say.
There is wisdom in the Word and gently leads you day by day.
When you feel I am out of reach because you do not hear me talk.
Just know My hand is in yours as I daily help you walk.
When you open your eyes to the many ways I speak,
You will feel me lift you up the many times you are weak.
Walk with me My sweet one and listen for My voice.
I am speaking to you each step of the way as you daily make your choice. I Love You Just the Way You Are
The mirror of the flesh can
sometimes be very cruel
the enemy uses this
so many he can fool.
Look at yourself in the
reflection of the living water
see yourself through the
eyes of our loving Father.
Man puts worth in how
we look
God tells us our real
worth through his book.
He plants us by the living waters
as trees of wisdom
with healing words from
our Father.
Words from man can leave our
hearts with a deep scar.
The enemy would like you
to think God is very far.
He's right there with arms
ready to hold.
Waiting for you to surrender
and give him your life to mold.
With every burden you allow
to enter your heart
you have given the enemy grounds for
destruction to start.
As we carry these problems
and try to find ways to fix them or use,
our precious Holy Father
we have, by lack of faith, abused.
Beneath each load of sorrow,
sad face, worry or pounds of weight,
we have not put our trust
in Jesus to determine our fate.
Our Holy Father stands
with outstretched arms that say 'come'
this battle for you
I have already won. Am I Responsible?
Am I responsible for those around
when there's no joy or laughter or happy sounds?
Can I make the people closest to me,
see themselves as God sees them
and learn to be all they can be?
Can I stir up and make happiness in the heart?
Can I take the burden from this person
around me and show them how to get a new start?
Can I take the negative thoughts from their mind?
Can I replace them with the positive and show a new path to find?
You say 'no' I can't do any of these.
Then why take the blame when you are told 'you just can't please.'
You're not responsible for another persons happiness you see.
They will find happiness when they can look inside
and say 'it's just between God and me.'
When the little cocoon draws away into its little shell,
even in the darkness and he is completely changed;
no one can do it for him and he will stay there until
God says 'all is well.'
He comes out entirely different than when he went in.
Only God can change you within and wipe away every sin.
When all around you looks gloom and doom,
don't look at others to find where your problems loom.
Stand up and face them like a man,
Don't blame others, look within and take your stand.
When everyone around you does not join in your 'pity party,'
look within them to see what makes them so hardy.
You'll find them walking close to our Father above,
who can wrap all those cares in a cocoon and
between you and God, when the cocoon has changed,
you'll find peace like a dove View a Synopsis of This Work | Order This Work |
