Daddy’s Girl

I didn’t have a care in the world
I was a daddy’s girl
I knew no matter what life threw my way
He was going to be there to protect and help
Even if I caused the problem myself

In the times when he couldn’t help
He’d still help in a way
By having a kind or encouraging word to say
And his words were always Bible based
In God he had unwavering faith
Acknowledging man’s limitations, he’d say
All we can do is hope and pray

My daddy is no longer with me
There are times I feel there’s no one to lean on
Who will I turn to when something goes wrong?
Then Spirit of God reminds me
God is still here.
Jesus said He would be with us until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20)
So, I’m still a protected girl.

Insight

It’s such a blessing to have a strong person in your life to lean on.
someone who will be there in helping you make tough decisions,
who will always try to help with whatever you need, and try to lift you
up when you are down. When this person is no longer in your life, it leaves a
huge vacuum and you may worry about who will help you now. But the Lord reminds
us in Matthew 28:20 that He is will never leave us. He will be there until the end of our lives. He is also able to do anything we may need including sending us someone to support us.

Against The Odds

You should have been withered and gone
The elements that nurture you have moved on
But you are vibrant and standing strong
So why are you lasting so long?
Even your color hasn’t changed
Is all this strange?

Or is it due to the power of God?
He can let us stand against the odds
When nature says we should fall
God will allow us to stand tall
When from normal channels we are not nourished
God can still allow us to flourish

So, the days of sunshine can be few
Forecast can show no rain or dew
The wind can go from warm to cold
Yet, the plant will not wilt or fold
Like the plant against the odds
We can withstand any condition with the help of God.
