Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore this is what the LORD says:
"If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless words, you will be my spokesman.


Heavenly Father,

Trees stand tall and firm and they do not speak a word,
Yet your beauty can be seen in them and your voice can be heard.

They live harmoniously in nature fulfilling their life's task,
They do not complain or grieve and in the sun they do bask.

They are exposed to the elements and in storms are blown about,
Some will fall and some will stand firm but nature has it's own way of working it out.

The tall strong trees shelter the smaller ones standing down below,
And they protect them from the elements as they do grow.

They do not see life as unfair or be selfish about what they must do,
They just keep reaching to the sky and year after year grow closer to you.

Please teach me to be as silent as the tree and stand firm in my life,
And not speak harsh words or have a loose tongue when there is strife.

Have me always shelter the young and teach them by being a living example of your ways,
So that when the storms come they will know how to handle themselves throughout their days.

Make my words worthy, meaningful and filled with your love,
And when I do speak may they be words sent to me from you,
on the wings of a white dove.

God Bless,
Gina
