Harden Not Your Heart

Image
Decisions could be high up the wall Or you may decide to stall But urgent remains the call Else, you risk bearing your own pall You may hustlin' strive Take care you don't disturb the hive But rather your relationship with your Maker revive Your soul to forever be alive Many alive but yet dead For life's not all bread But salvation in His Word instead Harden, not your heart n' His Word spread.

Someone You Can Trust

Image
 God is Faithful and God is Just, God is someone you can trust. When in a trial simply be still, as God works out His Perfect Will. He is God and from the start, He’s working to prepare your heart. When you are tried, you will see, God is molding you for Eternity. The Lord our God is loving friend, and concerned about our end. Fear not which way He takes, for God above makes no mistakes. And It cannot be your concern, when God’s Will you can’t discern. If your path takes a sudden turn, He may be helping you to learn. God may take you to a place, that you need His Awesome Grace. When you do not understand, with your heart just trust His Hand. When His Hand seems to depart, you can always trust His Heart. Christ will not forsake you friend, He’s here to see you to the end. The Lord is taking us one by one, down a path to reflect His Son. And God fills us along the way, with Christ’s likeness day by day. So as we travel this path of life, we shall shine for His Son Christ. You can tru...

Growing Through Obedience

Image
 By the Word a believer knows, through obedience a heart grows, In God's Word we're implored, submit to all over us, in The Lord, We're to esteem leaders in love, led by God's Spirit from above, This, to be at peace with others; growing as sisters and brothers. Being one body, with one voice, with our leaders, always rejoice; Without ceasing we must pray, as together we follow God's way, Giving thanks through everything, as we serve our Lord and King, Never quenching the Holy Spirit, but, obeying Truth, as we hear it. Despise not prophecies we know, but, in His Truth we must grow, Testing things, that we've heard, against the Truth of God's Word; Abstaining from all the evil we see, with our eyes fixed on eternity, Always obeying The Spirit of God, per His Plan, wherever we trod, As we follow God's Word fully, we must warn men, who are unruly, Comforting the fainthearted in Christ, as we live for Him a holy life, We're never to repay evil for evil, a...

A Broken Heart

Image
How do you mend, a broken heart? Where do you begin and where do you start? How do you face another day? What do you do and what do you say? It's never easy, getting back into the swing, there's no doubt, it will take it's toll. You have to be strong and forge ahead, then, things will start to roll. Just give it plenty of time, as others have done before. Then you'll be ready to start again and open, another door! Audrey Heller Because of You

Dear Christians, One And All Rejoice

Image
 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How his right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost him. Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me; Sin was my torment night and day, Therein my mother bore me. Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life was become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. My good works could avail me naught, For they with sin were stained; Free-will against God's judgment fought, And dead to good remained. Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die, To hell I fast was sinking. God saw, in his eternal grace, My sorrow out of measure; He thought upon his tenderness- To save was his good pleasure. He turned to me a Father's heart- Not small the cost-to heal my smart He have his best and dearest. He spake to His beloved Son: 'Tis time to take compassion; Then go, bright Jewel of My...

God Is Our Refuge In Distress

Image
God is our refuge in distress, Our shield of hope through every care, Our Shepherd watching us to bless, And therefore will we not despair; Although the mountains shake, And hills their place forsake, And billows o'er them break Yet still will we not fear, For Thou, O God, art ever near. God is our hope and strength in woe; Through earth He maketh wars to cease; His power breaketh spear and bow; His mercy sendeth endless peace. Then though the earth remove, And storms rage high above, And seas tempestuous prove, Yet still will we not fear, The Lord of Hosts is ever near. Martin Luther Because of You

Countless Blessings

Image
  I stepped outside, I heard the birds I could not wait until I heard their soft tunes They were singing to me as I drank my first Cup of coffee, for God sent them to me For he knows how very much His creations mean to me As my thoughts turn away from the birds To the maple tree in my front yard I thought As I gazed upon its’ beauty “You will finish opening your foliage tomorrow” The next day they opened up so beautifully displayed God’s way of saying “see my child you too can be renewed Like this tree” The grass green and lush cool upon my feet The multi-colored rose moth in bloom again I gaze at my dog who is soon to be a mother How happy she must be For soon the lil pups will be suckling Making little whimpers Making new little personalities And yes building up little tempers All the newness around me reminds me Constantly of our Father’s daily renewing love For these wonders are all countless blessings from above!
