INDICTED: Working For God?!








You Love ME?!

How Can You Say You Love Me
When
You Say Nothing
Whilst Knowing That My Life Is A Big Fat Lie?!

How Can You Believe That You Love Me
When You Know That The Life I Lead
Will Cause Me To Eternally Die?!

You Say Your Way Is Better
BUT
Have You Shown Me
How To Live The Right Way?
Or
Is Your Better Way
Just For You
AND
Everybody Else
Is To Live Like
A Rabid Stray?!

I May Not Know Much
About The God That You Trust
BUT
I Have Heard A Thing Or Two
About The Holy God
AND
I Know
That The Truth
That You Are Unwilling To Feed Me
Makes You
Nothing More Than
A Laid Up
Weak
Unholy Fraud!

Love Me?!
You Most Certainly Do Not
OR
You Would - In Love -
Point Out
The Errors Of My Ways!
You Would Find Me
A Burden Upon Your Soul
AND 
Make Helping Me To See 
The Real Jesus
Your Life's 
True 
AND 
Ultimate Goal!

My Life Is Not
The Best One!
Lord Knows
It Is The Only One I Have Got
BUT
If I Were You
- An All-Fired Christian -
Working For My Jesus
I Would Try My Best
To Show The Right Way To You!

Please ...

Don't Try To Be Polite
Saying 
You Don't Want To Hurt My Feelings!
What Good Are Feelings
When As A Lost Sheep
I'm Dead?!

Tell Me Plain!
Let Me Make The Decision
To Accept 
Or 
To Ignore You
BUT
Don't Feed Me Lovely Provender
- With Poison -
On A Comfortable Four-Poster Bed!

Hurt Me ... With The Truth!
Don't Comfort Me ... With A Lie!
Help Me To Make
An Informed Decision
So That
If 
I Choose The Lie
I Made That Choice
FREELY!
AND
I Won't Be Dying
Because
You Came To Me 
Pretty AND Lying!

The Lord Gave You Mission?!
So, Go On AND Do It!

The Lord Gave You A Message?!
So, Get Up AND Deliver It!

Do God's Work
For Which You Say
You Have Been Called
AND
Stop Acting Like
An Undercover Agent
For The King Of 
The Underground Fraud Squad!

So ...

Tell Me?

What IS The Word Of The Lord?

Sitting Saint Or Working Warrior? + PRAYER: My Lord And My God!




Flawed!
Driven!
Standard Bearers For God
Jacob
David
AND
The Apostle Paul
Not Willing To Sit Still
To Let God's Glory Be Stained
These Men On Missions
Blessed God
AND
It Valiantly Proclaimed!

Usurper!
Birthright Thief!
Adulterer!
Murder!
Persecutor-In-Chief
Each Had A History
AND
None Seemed Worthy
BUT
All Had Great Faith
AND
Firm Belief In The Word!

Standing On The Promises Of The Father
None From Battle Turned Away
Each Willing To Be For God
BUT
Only After They Had To Him Prayed!

Not One
An Armchair Warrior!
Not One
Unwilling To Face Fate!
All Trusting
To The Lord God Almighty
Ready
Willing
Prepared To Face
The Lineman's Fate!

The Calls Are Heard:

                  Keep The Communication Lines Open!

                                                 Keep The Channel Clear!

Remove The Barriers To Safe Passage!

                   Make The Way Plain Lest The Weak Die!

No Sitting Saints These!
Working Warriors All
Approved
AND
Used
By The Master
Useful To God
After Each 
Did Into Sin Fall!

So ...

If You Love The Living God
BUT
You Have Been Led To Believe
That Your Besmirched Soul's Garment
Is Such That To It
Sin Doth Cleave
If You Want To Work For Jesus
If You Are Willing
Your Given Talents To Display
If You Believe Your God Can Use You
Humbly
- As A Child Willing -
Say:

I Am Thine, Lord!
I Am Willing To Work!
My Heart Is Yours,  Lord
Give Unto This Servant
A Mission Of Work!
I Don't Know The End From The Beginning
But
Lord, I Know You Do!
Use Me
So That I Don't Use Others!
Give Me A Battle Line
That By Your Mercy And Grace
I Will Willingly Hold For You!

I Am Learning!
I Love You, Lord!
I Am Done With Scheming!
I Am On You Leaning!
In Me, You Are First!
For Me, You Are Last!
Thank You, God, For Jesus Christ
In Whom My Lot Is Cast!

As Long As You Are With Me, Lord
Wherever You Place Me
Or Send Me
I Will Go!
I Do Love You
For
You Are My Lord And My God!
AMEN.
