My Hope, Helper, Happiness

April 8, 2026

I won’t go back, and I won’t quit

I won’t go back, and I won’t quit

I’ll say it again:

I won’t go back, and I won’t quit!

My hope is in The Lord

HE says my best is yet to be

my future’s filled with blessings

Not cancelled by calamity

He’s my helper, hope and happiness

why would I entertain defeat?

that Devil lost the battle already

I won’t fall for his vile deceit!

~ Cale

God’s Love💖 ~ Super Glue

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,p neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:38-39

Steadfast Love💖

February 7, 2026

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”

Lamentations 3:22-24 English Standard Version

Leaning

February 5, 2026

Now that I’m old, Age

is taking center stage

roles I’m allowed to play

bring due challenges

(but only every other day)–

no thank you, kind sir

don’t ask me to dance

it’s a tricky proposition

can’t trust my balance–

I’ve discovered one benefit

this perplexed-distressed season

(for in the Master’s plan

there’s always a blessed reason):

I’m learning

about LEANING–

when merely a youth, I was clueless

without a gentle person

on whom to depend…

but the Lord God of mercy

though His face be in shadow

promised to help me

all the way to the end–

He says, “lean on Me

and I’ll take you places

you never dreamed, imagined…

when you tire we’ll rest, never fret

Child, we’ve got time, and miles to go yet”💖

~ Cale

English Standard Version
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

New Living Translation

And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20

New International Version
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4

Psalm 92:12-15 Amplifed Bible

The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];

They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].

Planted in the house of the LORD,

They will flourish in the courts of our God.

[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;

They will flourish and be [a]vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment];

[They are living memorials] to declare that the LORD is upright and faithful [to His promises];

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
