In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1 and 4; KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6; KJV) Throughout my entire life, I have known about God. As far back as my mind is able to retrieve, I see where God's grace was being weaved in, out and around my life. He revealed Himself to me many times through the abundance of grace and mercy He bestowed upon me, especially during times of illness, grief, distress and imminent danger. There were times when I had fallen so deep into depression it felt like "life" was nearing an end. During those times, I found hope, comfort and sure promises while studying the word of God. On many occasions, my heart would begin to overflow with reflections of gratitude for the life-giving power of the word. Meditating on the word and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to my troubled heart, renewed my strength and delivered my mind from the influence and allure of the "accuser". The poetic reflections contained in this book resulted from several years of recordings that poured from my heart during my devotional times with God. I am grateful that His Spirit nudged me to record some of my thoughts because rereading them continues to be a source of encouragement and strength. Contained in this book are the poetic reflections of my heart. I pray that as you peruse this literary collection, you would experience the same heartfelt connections with the Lord that I experienced as each piece began to seep through the crevices in the chambers of my heart, as they began to materialize in written form: the Reflections of My Heart. May God comfort, revive, refill and empower you as you read the pages of this reflective work.
