No Regrets Later!





Dedicated To The Task
I Was Walking 
Along The Way Of Life
Contented 
To Walk With The Lord
Until 
The Day I Came To The Cross Roads
AND
Read The Bill Board
Identifying Each Road
As Can Only Be Written
By The Fraud!

Out Of The Blue ...

My Mind Became Cloudy!
My Spirit Became Fevered
As Fevered As Fevered Can Be!
Everything Seemed So Exciting
AND
This Thing
That Thing
These Things
Those Things
All Things
Were Calling 
Calling
Calling Out To Me!

I Felt Drawn
Enamored
AND
I Wondered:

"What If ...!"

When I Smelled The Aroma
Of Someone Smoking A Spliff!

I Heard Raucous Music!
I Heard A Laughing Uproar!
I Heard Two Voices Three
Screaming ...

"Let Me Out Of This Door!"


I Heard Glasses Clinking
AND
I Heard A Funeral Dirge
BUT
I Heard No Voice Praying
To The Master
For
Those Souls Were Indulging
Suffering
From The Unexpected

The Unanticipated 
Foul Purge!

I Felt Myself Pulled Up Sharply!
My Heart Was Not Here
On 
The Wide Expanse
Of 
Wasted Lives
For
I Wanted
Desired
Yearned
To Walk Straight
From Common Living
Unto Eternal Life
Which Could Only Be Accomplished
By Walking The Straight And Narrow Way
BUT
Here
I. Was. Being. Tempted!
From My Lord
To Go Astray!

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ
That I Held To Me So Dear
I Said:

"Father, I Am Thine!"
Please Point Me
And
Bless Me To Walk
On The Straight Line
For You Are My God
Holy And Divine!

Help Me To Stay On The Right Path
Help Me Not To Flesh To Step Aside!
Help Me To Deny That Liar!
God Of Glory 
Be My Guardian And My Guide!
Help Me In Thy Love Ever To Abide!
AMEN.



I Looked Again
At That Bill Board
Turned Guide Post
AND
- Though Nearly Obscured -
I Found The Path
Marked
"Right Way
... For Those That Faithful Be!"

AND
Giving God Praise
For

A Weak-By-Self-Strong-In-God-Victory
I Plodded Gladly Onward
To That Gloriously Eternal
Eternal City!

The Way Is Oft' Hard
BUT
The Great God Is Good
For
My Companions Are Holy Angels
AND
The Holy Spirit
Is My Comforter
AND
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Have
Faithful To God
Stood!

Brethren,
Do Not Be Presumptuous!
Do Not Assume That You Can
Of Your Own Self
Know The Way!
Pay Attention!
AND
Really Read The Guide Posts
For
They Are There For
Correction
Protection
Direction
AND
Are Not To Be Ignored
Because Of Wilful Self's Predilection!

Take Time
To Read With Understanding!
Walk In Faith
AND
Put Blind Eyes 
AND
Lustful Urges
On The Back Burner Called Past Life
AND
Trust The Word Of Truth
AND
Not Him Who 
Always - Justifying Sin - Has A Plaster
AND
Is Justly Called
The King Of Disaster!

Put Faith First
And
Have No Regrets Later!

PRAYER ... From Unfeigned Lips!







If Jesus Will Save Us
Satan Will Strafe Us!
If Jesus Will Chastise Us
Satan Will Praise Us!
If Jesus Will Lead Us
Satan Will Deceive Us!
Because
Jesus Christ IS Lord
AND
Satan IS Ever The Fraud!


PRAYER:



Father,
Let Not Pride Be My Passion!
Let Not Deceit By My Fashion!
Let Not Ungodly Fear
Cause Me
You Good Name To Foreswear
And
Help Me
Ever
Always
To You
In Humble Heartfelt Prayer
To Repair!

Let My Conscience
Be My Guide!
Help Me In The Holy Spirit
To Abide!
Help Me In My Jesus
To Confide
And
Let The Holy Angels
Be Ever By My Side!

Help Me, Lord
To Eat For Strength
And Not For Drunkenness!
Help Me, Lord
Not To Drink The Wine
Of Covetousness!
Help Me Not To Cultivate
A Spirit Of Compromise
And
Help Me Not To Trust
The Imaginings
Cultivated Of The Sight Of Seeing
But Woefully Blind
Eyes!

Help Me, Lord
To Hear The Still Small Voice
So That I
By Wisdom
Will Ever Make The Right Choice!
Help Me Not To Harbor
Resentment
Nor Greed
For He Who Is The Shepherd
Always
His Flock Of Sheep
Will Daily Feed!

I Pray For Grace!
I Pray For Faith!
I Pray For Heavenly Light
To See Beyond My Living Space!
Help Me To Hope
To Love
To Trust
To Honor And
To Obey
So That At The End
I Won't Be Away From You
Cast Out
In Eternal Disgrace!

I Love You, Lord!
Help Me To Love You More!
I Trust You, Lord!
Help Me To Trust You More
And
Please Keep Me
So That I Will Not Be Encouraging Satan
To Walk Through My Front Door!

Keep Me
And
Teach Me!
Correct Me
And
Direct Me
So That The Devil's Doing
Won't
Against You
Incite Me!
You Are My Father!
Make Of Me A True Child!
Help Me To Walk True To You
Knowing That Faith's Consequences
Are Safely Left
To Almighty God
You Who Is Ever Faithful And True!

Accept This My Prayer
From Unfeigned Lips
Offered In The Name Of Jesus Christ
In Whom Resides
Heaven And Earth's Kingship!
AMEN.
