If You Want Joy, Real Joy ...!






I Remember Singing On Sabbath As A Child
 
"If You Want Joy
Real Joy
Wonderful Joy
Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart!" 

The Chorus Continued To Speak About 
Our Nights Being Turned To Day
Our Sins Being Washed Away
And 
Our Lives Being Made Over Anew! 

Beloved, 

When A Sentence Starts With An 
"If You Want ..." 
There Is The Real Possibility That 
You Don't Want The Thing On Offer! 

For The One Seeking The Lord At This Time 
When He Is To Be Found
Honest Questions Seeking Knowledge 
To Make The Informed Decision 
Regarding The New Life In Christ Are Acceptable! 

For The Christian Who Has Had Long Experience With
And 
Ample Proof Of 
The Goodness, Mercy, Love, And Grace Of The Lord
But, Why, What For, When, Where, And The Like 
Have That Sulphurous Stench Of Doubt! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Makes It Plain That 
He Has Nothing For Those 
Who Choose Not To Exercise Faith In Him 
And, Instead
Indulge Decimating Doubt! 

Are You Living As A Candle 
Glowing Or Guttering 
According To The Winds Of Change 
And
The Flavors Of The Moment 
Being Sold At The Fad Farm Or Ego Emporium!?! 

Fads Fail 
And 
Ego Goes Overboard! 

Slow, Sure, Steady, With Staying-Power
And 
With Saints Sealed And Saved 
Is
The Expected End Of The Life Committed To Christ! 

Faith Equips All Of Us Who Are Willing 
To Endure And Excel 
In The Journey To Joy In Jesus 
Which Continues Onward And Upward 
With The Joyous Celebration 
In New Jerusalem! 

Joy Is A Precious Gem! 
Dare To Find And Hold Your Treasure! 

Peace!

In Faith - a Little Ditty just for YOU!!

Greetings, Friends!

     I hope that all is well with each and every one of you!

    The following is a little ditty that I wrote as a means of celebrating my faith in The Holy Lord.

    If anyone would like to put this to music, please feel free to do so, and, PLEASE, share same with the rest of us if you do!



In Faith

In Faith I see The City,
That Jesus calls my home.
On earth I have not plenty,
In Heaven I'll not know want.
By faith, I'll hold the promise,
Of land to call my own,
In a beautiful, wonderful City,
From where I'll never roam! 

Enjoy, and be gloriously blessed!
