A Little Rhyme

Jesus is with us all the time

Let me tell you a little rhyme

There is only one gospel

People tend to hear the Word and become hostile

We are justified by grace through faith in Him

Why do we walk around looking so grim?

Believers are to be identified with his crucifixion

The Word say's to pick up your cross; it’s the truth not fiction

The law will never be able to give life

Grace will take away strife

We were made alive together with Him

He has forgiven us from our sins

By faith we actually become God’s daughters and sons

I pray Jesus hurries and comes

To know Jesus is with me to the end

He will always be my best friend

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

Longing for Love

She desires to be loved deeply

Wanting her love to think of her

Wondering if she ever crosses his mind

Doubt seems to occur

She’s all alone, wanting him

She can’t do it anymore, the longing is too much

Longing for him and not getting anything in return

No love, no comfort, not even a soft touch

She wants to be loved like she ought to be loved

She wants to share her feelings and know he cares

Holding her when she cries

Telling her, “I’m here, have no fears”

Her heart is getting hard, she can’t do it anymore

She’s tired of longing for love she’ll never receive

His affection, his heart, his companionship, and intimacy

Remembering the words, “I promise I will never leave”

She’s all alone

With her dreams and hopes

Her heart is broken and needs to be healed

With Jesus though, she does deal and copes

 

She is in the way of what he wants

Her love is a heavy burden to him

She’s tired of longing for his love 

Hopefully there will still be a them

Come Home, My Love

I think about you day and night

 I miss your soft touch

Wishing you were here with me

Whispering, “I love you very much”

I wake and reach for you

Realizing you’re not there

Tears of missing, my Love

 Pain I can no longer bare

Come home, my Love

Let me feel your touch

Be with me

I love you very much

Your kiss is so sweet to me

Your fingers running threw my hair

My arms wrapped around you

You mean the world to me, Dear

Come home, my Love

Let me feel your touch

Be with me

I love you very much

The Delight of Sacrifice

Am I living my life for others?

Am I dying to myself?

Am I living for Jesus?

Or am I just sitting on the shelf?

Am I interested in other people?

Am I delighting in laying down my life?

Am I only concerned about me?

Or am I full of bitterness and strife?

Am I on a pedestal and isolating myself?

Am I all things to all men?

Am I allowing Jesus to help Himself to my life?

Or am I hiding in this den?

Am I interested only in my own goals?

Am I totally surrendered to Him?

Am I devoted to Jesus?

Or am I pointing fingers, “Look at them?”

Am I in love with Jesus?

I am in love with Jesus!

“I will gladly spend and be spent for your soul; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.”

2 Corinthians 12:15

Frogiveness Or Bitterness

Forgiveness removes bitterness within

Forgiveness gives you peace

Forgiveness releases you from prison

Forgiveness heals your pain

Bitterness causes hate within

Bitterness gives you strife

Bitterness keeps you in prison

Bitterness causes you pain

What do you want, Forgiveness or Bitterness?

You have a choice!

"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses."

Matthew 11:25

"For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity."

Acts 8:23

What We Can Do

Showing genuine love

That was giving to you from above

Avoiding evil and holding to good

Get rid of evil, run from it, understood

Respecting others

They are your sisters and brothers

Being diligent in service

Do everything for God, don’t be nervous

Demonstrating hope

With Jesus you can cope

 Patience, steadfastness, and joy

Show them Jesus, the real McCoy

Continue to pray

Every day

Meeting the needs of others

That’s are job, to love are sisters and brothers

Showing hospitality

Who knows, they can be angels in reality

Living humbly and peaceably

All the time, not just frequently

Repaying evil with good

Are you doing this? You should!

Romans 12:9:21

Transformed Not Conformed

How sweet it is to be transformed

By the renewing of your mind

To know that this is the perfect will of God

To leave the lust of the world behind

To know God’s Word

To be in prayer

To have sweet fellowship

To show love and care

Do not be conformed to this world

Lust of the eye, flesh, and pride of life

It doesn’t offer you life but death

 It does not give peace but strife

How sweet it is to be transformed

By the renewing of your mind

To know that this is the perfect will of God

To leave the lust of the world behind

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12:2

Pleasing to God

Here we are with the greatest gift of all

He has given us the gift of salvation through grace

He has blessed us with many gifts

LOVE which we embrace

I ask,” What then do we do with LOVE?”

Jesus freed us to live for Him.

To live for others and not self

Our cups over flow the brim

Our goal should be to please God

By serving others with the gifts he has given

Love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness

Selfish living……..don’t give in

Stop living for self and serve others

God will provide all our needs

This is pleasing to God, bear fruit

 You will be happy by doing good deeds

Pleasing God is the Goal

To die to self and think of others

 Our purpose here on earth

Serving our sisters and brothers

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God

1 Peter 4:10

No One Around

There’s a time when you look around

You’re alone, no one to be found

No one near to talk to

But you learn to make do

No one to share your dreams

No one cares, it seems

No one to tell your troubles or pain

Oh how I hate to complain

If I could get the focus off of me

That would be the key

God knows what I need

I need to trust that He will lead

 He will speak to me loud and clear

Trust that He is here

I can talk to Him and share

He’s the God that does care

God, give me strength to carry on

Holy Spirit, please come upon

I want to curl up and lay in bed

What else is there to be said?

LORD, give me strength to carry on!

The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.

Psalms 29:11

Jeremiah 33:3

So Called Christians

I understand we are not perfect.

The last time I checked

We are all sinners at birth,

 All of us here on earth.

We will all fall into temptations,

Don’t have high expectations.

We are not under the law but grace

So does that mean we can sin in this place?

I can lie, I can cheat,

Be full of conceit.

I can fornicate, I can steal,

Dress to have sex appeal.

I can murder, I can sin

And have a big grin.

God will forgive me,

 You see I’m a Christian and I’m free.

If you love God you will obey and repent.

We are not free to sin but to represent

Our LORD Jesus Christ, For He died for you and me

And He has set us free

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Romans 6:15
