Loved from Eternity
About this book
"Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation," writes the apostle. In this collection of poetry, the author applies those phrases, responding to God's sometimes-dark providences with the light of Scriptural meditation. The manifold themes of the inspired Psalms shine out, giving endurance to those who wait for the Lord's deliverances, expressing a longing for justice to those who are confronted by God's enemies, interceding for mercy to those who are lost, and rejoicing in a salvation that is ever new. Throughout the pages a hope shines, knowing that as God comforts his disciple in any tribulation, so that comfort is offered widely to others.

Genesis 15:1
If God should undertake
To shield my soul from harm
What foe can Him withstand?
Who has a stronger arm?

From Psalm 37:13
“The Lord shall laugh at him. . . . ”
Laugh at my foes
who think they will
harm Your poor child,
destroy her still.
Or better yet,
in mercy great
rescue these folks
from their sad state.
Snatch from the fire,
who did me smite.
Grant them Your mercy
in Your might.
Let not the Foe
fulfill his will:
Save me and these,
I beg You still.

Father, Forgive Them
“Forgive them, Father, they know not
the evil thing they do.”
You spoke these words upon the cross
when they were killing You.
And Stephen begged for mercy too
for those that killed him all,
and in that mob there stood Your saint
at that time known as Saul
About to meet the risen Christ
Who did not like the way
His little ones were done to death
and intervened that day.
Upon the road where Saul breathed out
his rage and vile intent,
the risen Savior intervened
and saved him as he went.
So those that smite with evil will
perhaps may yet become
when You have risen in Your strength
those You will welcome home.
So give me gentleness and grace
to see beyond the wrong
and for their souls and Your great Grace
with all my heart to long.
