"Welcome Home, Children!"






Our Jesus Cares, Cries, Carries, Calls, And Comforts
But 
Never Competes! 

Our Jesus, Looks For, Leads, Loves, And Lightens Loads
But 
Never Lies! 

Our Jesus Prays, Pleads, Protects, Perfects
But 
Never Panders! 

Our Jesus Is Life, Light, Healer, Helper, Savior, And Sealer
Redeemer And Regenerator
But 
Never Deceiver, Belittler, Or Rejecter! 

Our Jesus, Lord And God Of All
Is 
Approachable 
But 
He Will Not Encroach Upon Your Turf! 

Even Though You May Say He Is Welcome In Your Life
He Is A "Gentleman"
Who Will Always Wait 
For Your Personal Call Of Honest Invitation! 

Our Blessed Jesus Invites Us To His Heart
His Kingdom
His Throne
His House
And 
His Table ... To Have His Life! 

He Says To Come And Reason With Him 
So Bring Your Reason, Your Request
And 
Be Reasonable! 

In Simplicity
We Are invited To Have A Little Talk With Our Jesus
The God Who Sees
Who Hears
Is Here
Who Knows
Who Shares
Who Was, Who Is, And Who Ever Shall Be
The God Who Can And Does Deliver For You 
Because 
He Is Alive
And 
Loves Us With An Everlasting Love! 

Beloved, 

How About Going For Broke
Putting Your Skin In The Game
Giving Your All To Jesus Christ The Lord
And 
Trusting Him To Get You Home To Glory!?! 

"Welcome Home, Children!" 
Will Be The Sweetest-Ever Music To Our Ears! 

Red Is For The Spilt Blood Of Christ!
Blue Is For Obeying The Law Of God!
Purple Is For Membership In The Royal Family!

Enjoy Your Talk With Jesus: 
Pray Fervently ... And Patiently Press On! 
Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Lord, I Am Sure!

Lord,
I Have Been Foolish!
I Asked You
Often
To Talk To My Hand
Not To My Heart
When I Was Indulging In 
"Self-sufficient Me!" Time
Ignoring The Fact
That
You Are Gloriously Divine!
Please Forgive Me!


Lord,
Like A Giddy-Headed Teenager
I Vowed
Not To Give Away My Whole Heart
To You
So That If Our Relationship Foundered
I Would Not Be Totally Devasted
When You
Tired Of Me
Should Depart!
I Bow My Head In Shame!
Please Raise Me Up!


Lord, Forgive Me
For I Treated You
As If You Are Mere Man
Temperamental
Testy
Of Attention Short-Spanned
Fickle
Unregenerate
Given To Ignoble Deeds
And
Quick
To Kick The Can!

I Repent Of My Folly!

I Disremembered
That You Are Holy
Faithful
Kind
Eternally Loving
Unfailingly True!
I Forgot
That You Are Friend
Soul-Lover
Holy God
Sustainer
Savior
Shepherd
And
Provider So True!

Help Me Ever Remember The Living Truth!

Lord,
I Want Us To Start Over!
I Want To Belong To Only You!
I Can See Your Hand
Being Held Out!
I Can Hear Your Gentle Voice Calling
Which
I Do Remember
Never - Ever -  Shouts!

I Can See Your Face
Tear Stained
Sorrowing
Over My Straying Ways
And
I Feel So Empty
Because
We Have Not Connected
Truly Connected
In These Recent Days!

My Praying Has Been So Shallow, Lord
And I Beseech You Help Me, Please
To Get Out From Under This New Low!


The Things
That I Should Do
Are The Things
That I Don't Do
And The Things I Don't Want To
Are The Very Things Walking About
Wearing My Dress Shoes!
Lift Me Up, Lord
For You Are Able
Not Fable!


Lord,
I Don't Want To Live
Like This Anymore!
I Desire Constant Communion With You
Before I Move A Finger
Before I Walk Though A Door
Before I Make A Decision
Before I Utter To Another
Even A Single Word!


I Desire You
To Be My First Thought
My First Word
My Every Breath
Spent
In Denial Of The Goat Leader
And His Boastful Herd!


I Desire With You
Oneness
My Will Wrapped Up In Yours
And
Your Word
My Every Desire
For
I Yearn
For My Voice
In Heaven's Grand Choir
One Day Soon
To Be Joyfully Heard!

I Am Pouring Out My Heart
To You, Lord
For
I Know That You Care!


I Know That You
To Death
Loved Me
And To Life Will Raise Me
And This Is Why
As A Little Child
I Approach You
Drawing Nigh
Without Fear!


Father,
Fix My Shortcomings
My Backslidings
My Willfulness
My Selfishness 
And

Waywardness
For
My Heart
For You
Is Longing
And I Am Begging ... Please?!


I Love You!
I Desire To Live In Your House!
Help Me To Walk Through Your Open Door!
I Am Ready, Lord
And
Now
I Am Sure!
Oh, Lord, Forgive!
Oh, Lord, Hear And Do!
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
I Stand And Plead!
AMEN.

In The Valley Of Need




Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Met
Associated
AND
Were Married
In The Difficult Moment
Between
The Valley Of Need
AND
The Cross-way Of Hope And Desire
For Christian Good!

Circumstance 
Had Forged Their Commitment To Each Other
Through Christian's Need To Avoid 
Lack Of Faith
AND
Unchristian Doubt
AND
The Avoidance Of The Hazard Of Expressed Unbelief
Made Their Union
A Match Made In Heaven!

These Two 
Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Cooperate With The King In The Kingdom
The Living Lamb That Was Dead
BUT
Who Is Alive Forevermore
AND
Who Is Sitting At The Right Hand
Of God The Father
Making Intercession For The Faithful
AND
Presenting The Petitions
Of Those Who Choose To
Exercise Their Faith
Through Constant
Even Unceasing Prayer For 
Favor
Strength
The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
More Faith
A Christ-like Attitude
AND
Every Good And Perfect
AND
Eternally Profitable Thing
For The Blessing
Protection
Correction
AND
Provisioning Of
The Heaven-bound Soul!

Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
Are United
Bound AND Tied Together
Until Christian's Death
Or 
The Coming Of The Conquering King
Whichever Event Comes First!

The Separation Of
Earnest Believing Heart
AND
Fervent Effectual Prayer
In The Life Of The Christian
In Not A Thing To Be Contemplated
Accepted
Appreciated
Approved
OR
Attempted
For
No Good Thing 
Will Be Heralded By This Devil-inspired Device
As It Is This Very Thing
Which Creates A Lack Of Cooperation
Between The Christian
AND
The Heavenly Intelligences!



WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Satan Always Attempts
To Separate
The Sinner Saved
From
The Soul's Savior!


Prayer Is Power!
Persistent Prayer Is Powerful!
The Power Of Persistent Prayer 
Is Powerful 
To Put Down Temptations And Torments
AND
Provide Grace To Help
In The Time Of Need!

Be As The Importunate Neighbor
AND
Beg For Your Loaves Of Bread 
Even At Midnight 
For Our Lord Has No Bed
Nor A Sleep Stocking Upon His Head!

Heaven's Storehouse
Is Ever Open
AND
There Is No Cash Register To Fill
Or To Be Broken!
Therefore
Let Your Prayers Be Not Token
AND
Your Answer
Will Not Be That To 
The Request Not Spoken!

God's Love Of Man Has No Limit!
