    written by Daniel Piper Lord I’m diving all in. You swam in the deep end of my sin and drank the cup. The least I can do is offer my life and give it up. What’s the measure I’m to give when God emptied out himself? How am I to respond to a love where…

    written by Daniel Piper We build ivory towers. High and mighty lofts. For what? If we gain the world the human soul is the cost. Towers built by men eventually crumble and fall. The spirit in man was not built by human hands. So why focus on what men build? You won’t hear Heaven’s call.…

    written by Daniel Piper Can you imagine a world where not a tear is shed? Only God is the One with holes and scars showing signs He bled. The Savior’s pain is eternally visible so I can die and Heaven gain. Christ stepped down, went to the cross hoping to carry up my name. Lord,…

    written by Daniel Piper A Letter Dear Lord, You gave us an option at life with a desire to know more. So why was the tree of knowledge even available at the store? You knew there was a price to be paid for choosing anything outside of You. So why were their options other than…

    written by Daniel Piper I’m hungry for God because He made me this way. With an impulsive, addictive personality, I must live in a different way. Every time I act on my own, I fall flat on my face. God is forcing me to rely only on Him. My mind has to be present in…

    written by Daniel Piper My mind needs to turn back to You. For my flesh is weak and tired. I want to rest by Your still waters, While my soul is refined by Your Heavenly fires. I cannot go through this life alone. I cannot ever make decisions on my own. You have disciplined me…

    Written by Daniel Piper All the time I seek Your presence. Morning, day and night, I can’t live without. You are the only source that satisfies. I feel lost as soon as my mind wanders. No place I’d rather be than in Your presence. My soul needs rest in the One who’s worthy. Every time…

    Written by Daniel Piper I lay down my life for my Lord and my wife. I don’t want a single selfish bone. Selfishness has no place before God’s throne. Satan had his moments of selfishness and now look at him. So I just cling to the cross of Christ. As Yahweh demands I live holy…

    Written by Daniel Piper Every day is Christmas. For God gives you a beating heart. While you run and play, do you tell it to: “Beat, beat, beat and thump, thump, thump?” No you do not. It just beats faster than a ticking clock. It’s a gift from God to have a beating heart. Every…
