Forever Renewed



















As the rains tumble down....
The heart is washed....

Cleaned...
Renewed...

HIS presence revealed..
HIS presence portrayed...

HIS child...
Once again
Forever renewed!


By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
Andrea

    Dear Andrea, I was just thinking today when the tears began to well up in my eyes during a prayer, about a song that I once played for a soloist to sing many years ago. I've never forgotten it. "He washed my eyes with tears." He washes our eyes with tears just like He allows the rain to come and wash away things, like the spring pollen, and give us a refreshing look at life, as new growth appears. Thank you for sharing this very special poem from your heart!
    Thank you also for your sweet encouragement over at my blog! It goes straight from the computer screen to my heart! <3
    Big hugs!
    Tammi
