    A Plea and Praise to the Lord

    My soul doth long for the Lord without ceasing; yea, in the depths of my sin and wandering did my spirit cry out for Him, that I might be restored unto His mercy. My heart knoweth no greater desire than to fall upon my knees before Him, to hear Him speak unto me, “Thou art Mine, thou art...

    The Lonely and Rejected

    They talk to you as though you’re no one, As though you’re pointless, waste of time. They treat you as though you’re a burden, As though you are not worth a dime. They treat you as though you know nothing, Like they should be God’s voice to you. They act like you’re just in the way of All of...

    Lonely

    Hey all. This year is the first year I've lived alone (almost a year now, anyway).
