A poetic look at life at some of it’s hardest moments.

Your Mercy Endures Forever

Thank You for the sunshine and rain
And for the trees of quiet shade
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for the little birds sweet refrain
And for all the creatures You made
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for the peaceful pools of water
Where nothing disturbs or bothers
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for planting time and harvest
And when times of testing are hardest
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for those times I need You most
And for the precious love You give
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for sending Your Holy Ghost
And for the shelter of Your wings where I live
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for the bottle in which You catch all my tears
And saying, “Peace, be still” to my fears
Your Mercy Endures Forever
But don’t I hate those who hate You, Oh Lord
All those who despise Your Word
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for the mighty strength of your hand
That takes vengeance on my enemies
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Thank You for every time You take my stand
When my heart would faint within me
Your Mercy Endures Forever
Liars, slanderers, murderers all
May Your judgment like lightening on them fall
Your Mercy Endures Forever
May the righteousness of Your name be praised
And the day of Your judgment proclaimed
Your Mercy Endures Forever
May the light of Your glory on Your servant shine
Till its brightens the hearts of the blind
Your Mercy Endures Forever
And let them bow the knee in shame
As they humbly accept Your name
Your Mercy Endures Forever

About mamaheartfilled

I am a mother of eight wonderfully challenging children and fourteen grandkids, of whom I am very proud. I am also a bi-vocational ordained evangelical minister, and a Christian Counselor. I received my B.S. degree in 2004, studying primarily in the areas of Psychology, with minors in Religion and English. I received my Masters Degree in 2009 in Psychological Counseling with an emphasis in Christian Counseling. I have endeavored to paraphrase the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. It is my hope that it will be of some use in the great commission of Christ. My ministry is primarily geared toward victims of sexual and domestic violence, including victims of childhood sexual abuse, whether currently or in the past. Since I have personally experienced the healing hand of God in overcoming many of the life issues that Christians may face, I feel qualified and compelled to discuss them in a truthful and open manner, as God’s word tells us that “We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free.” God has brought me through such diverse tribulations as sexual, physical, and mental abuse, being a victim of a drunk driving accident, spousal pornography addiction, adultery, divorce, remarriage, a very brief, though unjust, incarceration, and having experienced multiple miscarriages and various other trials. I have been asked to leave two Southern Baptist Churches, due to my being a female, ordained as a minister, and fired from a SBC sponsored Christian School (mostly white) for speaking out against racial prejudice in the Family of God. Through God’s merciful forgiveness of my own sins and inadequacies and God’s grace given to me to forgive those who have been a stumbling block to me, I have overcome many of these adversities. God’s word tells us that “All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to the purposes of God." Since I have this hope, I believe that God has blessed me with the ability to confront and relate these issues to the Christian community around the world. I hope to be able to use my personal experiences as a ministry of God’s grace and in the comforting of the people of God with the truth of God's mercy. I claim II Corinthians 1: 3 & 4 as my calling, which states: “Blessed be God, the Origin of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Origin of mercies, and the God of comfort; who comforts us in all our troubles, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, by the comfort we ourselves have been given by God.” As I have received the gift of God’s healing, I hope to be able to bring the peace beyond understanding to others with the message of God’s mercy and grace. My love for the Sovereign Lord of my life, Jesus Christ, along with my passion for writing has drawn me to explore these commonly experienced crisis issues from the perspective of my own experience in the hope that I may bring an empathetic and compassionate insight to God’s people. I am now a published author and have several books in publication, including my autobiography, "A Little Redneck Theology." The views expressed in my writings are strictly my own insights, acquired from personal experience and diligent study of the related topics and God’s word concerning them. Though I am an ordained minister, my views should not be considered authoritative. I believe that the Christian community’s ultimate authority is the guidance of the human heart by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
