Grace, You’re Amazing!

Grace, let me paint the picture. Your heart, the portray a flawless crimson masterpiece. My heart, just the pen; your love the ink. I have words, but they can never adequately capture; the true breadth. How you have showed my heart, a love so undeserved. Unmerited, unconditional; bringing with it so much favor. Even when, you know it will surely be the fall. From another stumble, over my own heart. Chasing shadows, reveals a foolish heart. Knowing, that without Grace; my destiny wouldn’t be unveiled. A heart could never know, He is risen? Being gracefully broken, not where the story ends. My soul, is truly grateful. Grace, won’t you tell my heart this. Why do you always, feel the need to move toward me; chase after my heart? You even run before me, so you will always be there. I can trust you with the future, for you’re already there. You’re so faithful, wanting to meet me, where I’m at? Sometimes, my words runaway; a heart left speechless. Grace, forgive my heart, for asking so much questions. You surely must know, your love is so relentless. To arrest my heart, interrogates my soul; looking for the evidence. Your love, my breathless. Your heart, my breath it keeps taking. Stolen moment, don’t let them be sifted. My heart, no longer a slave to fear. Trust, and love; this is how I fight the battles.

Even for a heart so flawed, you made it your mission. To introduce my soul, to Hope. And now, it truly happily forever after. Whenever I feel, I’m losing hope. Grace, your love is always there to say; I’m here. The sun shining in the day, at night; the shadow by your side. And whenever, you’re completely still. Your love is the whisper, that makes my soul sing. Blessed Assurance, Grace will forever be. With every breath, that I am able. My heart, will make the goodness known. Oh Grace, my heart will echo your fame, my soul proclaims your name. How you came, to make life never the same. I raise a hallelujah, for your kindness is beyond measure. The weight of it, what bares my name. The breadth, has no comparison. The depth, unfathomable, but knowable. Grace, you have saved my soul. And now you have my back, against the blindsided attacks. Why my soul is now free, to live, breathe, and be. A heart outspoken, about a love so breathtakingly undeniable. Whenever, I look into your heart. My soul, can see a glimpse of heaven; through your divine love. My heart, becomes overwhelmed by your presence. You, in the here, and now; I don’t have to visit dreamland, For with You, my soul will live forever in glory-land. Mercy, your love has captured my gaze. Why, I’m absolutely lost for words. All my heart, can find to say; Grace, You’re Amazing!

Stand, with You!

I want you to know, I will be strong for you. In the stillness, in the quiet; in the moment. It doesn’t matter, what the circumstance looks like. Raindrops on your rosy, if you just need me, to lean on. The way, my heart sees it. When you’re hurting, you will never have to hurt alone. Give the best, be a friend. BFF, (Be Faithful, Forever). If, your faith is running low? My heart, will never lose faith in you. Even, when the night is the darkest, and the day seems the longest. Even if no one cares, I do. Even if no one dares, I will; stand with you. I will be there, to help wade through the water. Undistracted, if the moment becomes a flood. I will, swim through the deepest river with you. I will, run towards you. To stand, right beside you. And run, the race along side you. Nothing, will ever be able to move my heart, except love. If you, can’t throw your hands up, I can. Lift them, to the one, who holds tomorrow. If the moment is Hiding, trying to not be seen. The attempt, will be a heart found. For in the Seeking, God; will surely meet us where we’re at. Me standing, for both of us believing for it; answered prayers. Even what, might seem impossible. And even, if the blessing tarries; I Stand, with You!

“The Lord bless you, and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, be gracious to you. May the Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you His peace!” Numbers 6:24-26 ESV

In The Quiet!

In the silence, in the midst of the peace; breadth forever found. Breathless, what becomes more, than just a feeling; but what’s truly important. The ear may not hear, but the heart will surely know; the moment love speaks. When, in every breath of the heart, love bares its name. Love, will never come to preach; love comes to teach. In the depth, of the quietest space. Unmolested, love lives, flourishes, and thrives. A heart moving breathlessly, what becomes the feat. When breadth, becomes the spell bound, and breath becomes a heart; living in the deeper meaning. Love, in the pure glory, and the profound truth. Amidst all the silence, the true voice of love is heard; resoundingly. Unbeknownst, doesn’t mean unannounced. Love harkens, to every beckoning heart. A soul can feel, what another struggles to fathom. The breadth of love, whispers in the night. A heart knowing, a soul perceiving; love is worth a heart believing. Even at rest, though absence of speech; love’s never diminished. For love will bare, whatever a soul needs bared. In the quiet, in the midst of the stillness. True love, becomes the spoken word. Uunderneath every breath, through every breath, in every breath. The words that matters, With, Every, Breath, Love, You; Truly. Trying, to utter anything else. A heart and soul, might as well keep silent. Distractions, block a heart from hearing, even in the quiet moments!

Having an open mind, doesn’t stop you from being; a heart closed off. It’s crazy, to believe thoughts and feelings. Are all love needs, for love to thrive. You can know love, but not understand. Though you have understanding, tone deaf can still be the perception. A heart, will not be absent of the deeper meaning. When every whisper of love, breaks through the deafening silence. To be still, and know; how love helps fight every battle. In the crevices of love, in the clefts of the rock. Where, I find my confidence, and securely anchor my heart. Even though, tomorrow’s not promised; this promise true. Your love I will find, when Your heart I truly seek. There’s no place, for a heart to hide. In the quiet, love hovers. You can run, when falling is what you fear. The light of love will find you, it waits in the shadows. You can never outrun your destiny, for you and it; are heading towards the same direction. You don’t need to know, if tomorrow will be a lovely day. Only, what kind of love, is willing to meet you there. So hearts, shh; don’t hold on to every breath. In the quiet, take a moment to listen. For when love, begins to profoundly speak!

The Heart of Worship!

Every day, every hour, every minute, every second; with every heartbeat. Let your first love, be a heart of worship. A heart, moved by the breadth. The purest love, from a heart and soul; surrendered to the One. Let it be a lifestyle, for a lifetime; the air you breathe, to the end of your days. Every breath, likened to a breathtaking symphony, and a glorious hymn. Let love be in the rhythm, that soothes the blues. Let the beauty of His love, leave your heart in a breathless awe, of the wonder. A soul, experiencing the height, the length, the depth. A heart pouring love, until every drop becomes no more. Hush the day, to let your worship, wholeheartedly speak. The heart of God, is listening. Let His heart know, “His love,” is the reason. Why your soul, knows the greatest love song. It’s not about, what words are said, or learning the art. Just about having, The Heart of Worship!

“Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all peoples. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared [with awe-filled reverence] above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are [lifeless] idols, But the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are [found] in His presence; Strength and joy are [found] in His place (sanctuary). Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and honor and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory and honor due His name; Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him; Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. Tremble [reverently] before Him, all the earth; The world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” 1 Chronicles 16:23-31 AMP

My heart!

My heart, the noted description; blessed, first and foremost. Although, my heart bleeds, this I must concede. Life, is but a breath. A soul, faced with the undertaking. Trying to be still, when the heart finds ache. A heart, knowing full indeed. Every heartbeat, moving with ease, but drowning in the deepest place. A silent river, knowing depth in an ocean. Deep within my soul, love through and through. It moves, it compels. My heart, it swells. My soul, it is well. Pieces you won’t see, for peace I have found. Breadth, what becomes the spell bound. When breath, becomes a soul living; in the deeper meaning. My heart, wants to scream. My soul, wants to cry. But, my faith will never die. As I, draw closer to Your heart. To lose myself, in the unfathomable depth!

My, my, my; my hallelujah, what my soul will forever raise. To the giver, of a grace no heart can ever earn. The mender, of what the day finds broken. To never be found shattered. Up from ashes, a soul soars like an eagle. A heart, every breath forever held. To let the love, show a soul how to deeply breathe. A heart and soul, moved by a breathless dance. A heart, called to have many titles; but answer, to one name. My heart, and the love in; be everything. A soul, that won’t be free… without it. A heart not knowing glee, without it being freedom… in me. In every breath, I breathe. In love, every breadth will be. An alabaster heart, flush with the warmth of amazing love. King of my heart, though a heart break. Wholly, will it be placed in your loving care. To let my soul know, nothing missing; though broken. My soul, being in You; will be a rescue story. My heart, called forever by You… Love!

Song Inspired; Trenches!

When the day, won’t let your heart breathe. When breathless, turns into another battle. When breathing, becomes more than what’s in the give and take. When the moment, becomes your heart on display, and the truth being told. When trouble, finds your heart. Do you ditch your faith, or faithfully let your hope dig in? It’s so easy, to bury your heart, in the sands of time. Pretend you can’t hear, what your heart can undeniably feel; breath has been taken. The year, and the day begins anew. Every day, the heart and another battle. My world, and the day warring. Trying, to get the best of me. Death, an enemy so relentless. Already this year, it sought to take out my wife; but mercy said no. Only for our hearts, to be absolutely blindsided. The death of a child, caught in the crossfire. Though, hearts are deep in the trenches. Thank God, we can know; amazing grace, still has the sweetest sound. A heart, never alone in the battles. I’ve learned, to let grace be the anchor, that secures every breath. I can’t, always say my heart is fine; but my soul cleaves, to the glory of the divine. Cover fire, in the love of God; the burning light of hope!

My heart, has spent many years in the trenches. Trying my best, to cover hearts. Especially, the ones closest to mine. What do you do, when a light gets snuffed out? For me, and my heart; I turn to the one, who knows suffering. Love, will always have the final say. A heart, that can triumphantly say; Yay. When the circumstance seems, a resounding nay. In the trenches, I’ve found that battle scars. Doesn’t show a soul losing, just a heart tested. In the trench, a heart can still see so much evidence. That in every breath taking, love becomes held deeply; pressed up against your soul. Even when, night becomes the daunting foe. What dawns, will clearly show. Beyond the horizon, there awaits a field of gold; the half yet told. For even though, voices are the barrage. My heart, clings to the love; that’s never a mirage. Putting up walls, will never keep hurt out. It will, just keep the pain in. Trapped, with no place to go. Sometimes, it’s not about forging ahead; but training your heart, how to know the moment. To not just press on, but when it’s time to press in. My soul, will never breathe defeat. In the surrender, my heart finds victory. God’s love, climbs in the trenches. To hold steady my soul, and fight along side my heart; through every season!

When, overwhelmed is the incoming; and tears the outpouring. Fighting back, easier said than done. A soul, deep in the trenches. A heart pacing, trying not to act quick. So that sinking, doesn’t become the sand. Though, deep in the pit. The feeling, will never turn to dismay. Reaching deep in the quiver, I aim the arrow high. When, the moment becomes the darkest. I don’t look left, or right; but to the light of heaven. In a trench, a crimson love flows. Wide as an ocean, width a trench so deep. Even when, the walk finds a crossroad. My heart, will surely be surrounded. The God of love, waiting in the shadows. To be a refuge, and a fortress. Deep in the trenches, though a heart; heavily under fire. My faith, will never be defenseless. For my hope, never abandoned. As the heart, wades through the water. I hear love say, “It is finished” Out of the shadows, wheeling the breadth of His love; it’s a moment for recompense. For a heart, that stands its ground. Focused on The One, who leads my battles. That’s how, I fight my battles; in the trenches!

In Our Hearts!

Where do I start, when your heart knows. The beginning starts with life, is but a breath. What do you say, what can I say? When I don’t have words, when words will never be enough? What do you do, when words are heard; but no one, will never understand your heart. A heart that aches, for every breath is tightly held. This day, seems a dream. That will leave a heart feeling, what happens in the wake!

Who is, Justinea Angelina Richards?

She’s March 9, 1990. A born fighter, weighing in @ 6lbs, 5 ounces. Our baby girl, ready for the world @ 37 weeks. I held her, as her love held my breath. My soul leaped to the heavens, an angel gave my heart wings. She had a smile, that knew how to brighten a heart for days. Her presence, could capture every gaze. Even, the unexpected heart. A baby girl, become a little lady. Who turned a teen, with a heart so keen. Our miss Independant thinker, her intelligence not in spoken words. A woman, with so much hopes and dreams. To see every heart touched, by the light of her love. She’s a daughter, a sister, a friend. A heart loved, beyond just family, and friends!

You Live!

You live, in our heart, in our soul. You live, because we won’t forget, we won’t let the memories fade. You live, because time can’t erase. What a heart won’t let be erased, through the sands of time. You live, in what the night can’t eclipse, in what the day can’t hide. You live, in the reflections, in the lasting impressions. You lived, you’re living, you will live; forever… in our hearts!

In loving Memory, of our baby girl!

The Chill Mix!

A soul laid back, against a heart; that will always have my back. My heart, kicking it. My soul, deeply loving it. My love, knowing how to chill. Every day, another this; the chill, with a new remix. Though the wind blows, and the occasional chill felt within the bones. My heart’s relaxed, knowing the best yet to be told. Even if, the weather becomes cold. My heart, won’t contemplate the whether. To chill, so my soul can be still. For, whatever the day has to behold. A heart, must be willing to boldly go. With the blood flowing, and the soul truly knowing. It’s a heart, that never mix being a bit shaken. With being a soul forever stirred, by this one factor. In this heart of mine, the love You breathlessly hold. Nothing but love, whispered underneath every breath. Mixed up platitudes, never in this heart full of so much gratitude. Every day, the chill, in the bliss. The love, no doubt. My soul, and another slow jam; love dancing with my heart. The breadth, so soothing. Every heartbeat, what my heart proving; the love’s moving. In a love so strong, every beat; playing the greatest love song. How can a heart, ever go wrong? When the love plays deeply, soulfully; with the sweetest melody. My heart, in the rhythm. My soul, in the groove. My stringed instrument, a heart and soul; laid back!
