Sand to Rock
by: Ronovan
The waves surge and pound breaking the grains of sand
The grains ride and swirl until, just surviving, the waves retreat
They settle…briefly, knowing the waves will return.
Words are spoken, the waves retreat, and calm is instilled
The grains settle once again, but this time they gather together
No waves will come that will break them apart
Solid as the rock they settled on

Sunday Thought: You are Beautiful
by: Ronovan
Do you ever wonder what God thinks of your looks? Or maybe you wonder if God favors those fashion model types over the . . . whatever other types you can think of . . . like . . . those who eat a hamburger and fries or pizza once a week maybe. It’s sad to say that some models aren’t even good enough any longer to the point that companies are photoshopping them thinner. I think it used to just be airbrushing marks or wrinkles.
Why even bother hiring models? Why don’t they just have CGI models and be done with it?
Jesus was perfect. Have you ever thought how Jesus looked? Do you think he looked like the Jesus from the Son of God movie?
Did you know the Bible describes the Messiah’s physical appearance?
“Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.”-Isaiah 53:1-3
After reading this passage it made so much sense that Jesus would not be the Brad Pitt of the ancient world. To follow Jesus you needed to follow him because you believed, not because you thought he was some above the norm handsome guy.
God knows the real you, the real way you look regardless of what you do to change. I know some young people that, as healthy young people look amazing but they wanted to fit in with the anorexic set because they thought that’s what was popular. As starving trying to fit in young people they just lost that healthy sparkle they had. The energy was gone and their eyes didn’t shine any longer.
God sent Jesus to save you as you are. He died for you as you are. No matter how pretty you are or what shape you are in, God deemed you worthy enough and beautiful enough to send Jesus to die for you, and Jesus agreed to do it. Think about it.
And yes the copyright date is correct on this.

Could of been Cut! one choice-my Life
by: Ronovan
Testify to a travesty that happened from birth
You don’t even know it but you were given worth
All these hooplahs laying down their monkey laws
Let me tell you test tube lovers I ain’t got a tail in my draws
You say kill ‘em and let ‘em just die on the floor
But I say that life is worth the living and the dying for
Am I making a statement of opinion and of my facts
You betcha bottom dollar and I’m not holding any back
The big guy came down and he walked up that hill
He let them lay him down and drive spikes to kill
You think he did that so we could throw it all away
No, uh uh, not to my way of thinking no way
I was unintentional at 17 and a decision was made
Fruit picking in the groves near the everglades
I should of could of and would of been cut
But something spoke out and said no, that’s enough
Wait a minute, you ain’t got a right to say nothin’
Your body ain’t the one made for this discussion
I know what I know and I say what I love
And what I do know is…God gave life from above.
Respect for you and Your Choices
As I wish for you to have for Me and Mine
Much Love
Ronovan

No Surprise Amazing Grace
by: Ronovan
I close my eyes
To see your face
No surprise
I hear Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
Of your love
Reigning down
On me
More of my lyrics I found from long ago.
