pour down
like a refreshing rain…
My blessings are
abundantly given
like manna flowing from heaven…
My blessings are for
those who delight in
thy holy name…
My blessings are for those people who put trust in me…
Like a
ripple, of a
babbling brook…
Like a tree,
as its buds begin to blossom
luscious scents fill the air…
Like a tree planted
firmly, with roots
that runs deep…
Like a tree planted along the riverbank…
It has
not shaken my faith,
your protective layer covers me…
It has nothing
to entice me away from
sharing your gift of love with others…
It has nothing to
deaden the growth that comes from
unrelenting heat and pestilence…
It has nothing to fear when the heat comes…
Its leaves
drink in the droplets
of nature’s sweet nectar…
Its leaves are
a shelter for a nest of baby birds,
who warble their joyful songs…
Its leaves are always
seeking sunlight in
the darkest of days…
Its leaves are always green.
Such trees
when faced with hefty weights
do not bow under pressure…
Such trees are
used to bearing a
cross of suffering…
Such trees are not
swayed when winds
rock them in the shake…
Such trees are not worried by long months of drought…
It goes
on germinating
seeds of truth…
It goes on
spreading its branches
to those who seek shelter…
It goes on producing
nourishment to a
thirsty soul…
It goes on producing delicious fruit.
My blessings are for those people who put their trust in me. They are like a tree planted along a riverbank. It has nothing to fear when the heat comes its leaves are always green. Such trees are not worried by months of drought. It goes on producing delicious fruit.
Jeremiah 17:8
