So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
I ignored His Love!
He reached for me ... in Mercy!
I turned away from Him
And started to sink into the grave!
LOVE lifted me up!
Bright Light shone in the Darkness
LOVE comforted me -
And blanketed me with His Grace
Tied on with Hope
Trimmed well with Faith unto Glory
Sewn with the thread called Sacrifice
Laid out with Hands calloused and
Broken by cruel nails!
Face punctured and etched with His LOVE
Side riven through Great LOVE - Water of Life Blood pouring forth
Feet torn and holed out
With God's Eternal LOVE!
God's LOVE is Real
Rewarding
Sustaining
Uplifting
Concerned
Soul comforting and
Renewing ... me
Unto His Heavenly Glory!
God's LOVE is Abiding
And no devil can ever take it away!
I heard of a god - who is like no other god!
I speak of a god - who wants to be my friend!
I feel that this god - is worthy of my knowing
I have met this God and, now, I understand!
This god IS GOD - The I AM!
The Great Creator!
This God IS God!
He IS the Son of Man!
This God IS Love!
He is Faithful, Kind, and Righteous
And He IS God, and in His reflection now I stand!
No angry god, demanding a human blood sacrifice
He offers Grace, and Mercy, and Love, and Provision
He offers Hope even in the face of Failure and Disgrace
I've come to know, and love, this God of All Graces - The Eternal
And I have decided to cast my lot with Him.
I do not fear that He will leave me stranded
For He explained that taking me to His Fair Home is the Final Goal
He has stated well, that being in His Flock is no cake-walk
That I can expect opposition, denial, hatred and jail
Even betrayal, by friend, foe and, yes, even from family
And upon occasion, I can expect to face
Even death and the grave compliments of the Knave!
He further said:
“Look up! Always UP! I am Your Father, and I overcame so Satan can’t treat you Like so much safari game! Satan will oft’ temp, terrorize and even afflict you But stand firm in My Love For I filled in your grave! Blessed be the ties that bind you to Me and My Father To Holy Spirit, to the Kingdom of Truth And Light and Life - to be saved! I gave My All, and whisper ‘Come, all you who labor Come unto to Me all you who e'er would find Rest!’ I AM The King of Life and I AM The Shepherd All in My Flock will always safely graze In pastures green, where gentle streams o’erfloweth Where Angels excelling in strength You excellent guardians be! I sacrificed My Life So your personal griefs and pains have meaning For they are your badges of honor on display Proving that you are My Child That you are gaining Home by the Blood of My Sacrifice Walk on Blessed Child For you don’t ever walk alone on your own!”
So, Friends, you see
I met The God worthy of my person and my worship
I met The God - The God who IS Love
Not the god Titillate
Not the god of Reasoning Self-Pride
Not the god of I Own It
Nor the god of My Self-Interest
And definitely not the god
Who is always presenting himself as a clone!
I am testifying to personal knowledge of The God
That I am offering to you, Friend Dearest
Gentle, Faithful, Kind,
Constant, Pardoning, and Free
No fees
No clubs
No bungling instability
My God IS The Lord TRUE
Not carrying Pride nor specious Vanity!
He offers a Home through Faith
By Prayer and Supplication
He takes requests
And is willing to be the Welcome Guest
Even in your lowly abode!
One day - He affirms - He is coming in a Glorious Train
To take me to His Heavenly Home
Where I will never find myself a part
Of the Satanic Game of Trade Parade Charades!
I’ve accepted His Offer of Salvation
Justification and Sanctification
And have become a part
Of the Family He calls His Bride
He says I’ll wear White, and Gold
And I will be Glorified
And gain winged flight
To highest heights and beauties unknown!
I like This God
Unto love, more and more
With time’s passing
I see no downside
To giving unto Him my final fate
His only warnings are
Be not deceived by counterfeits and
To answer His Call, when it comes
Don’t wait or it may be too late!”
God Called - I Answered!
I Pray - He Answers!
I Cry - He Cares!
I Lie - He Paid!
I, A Slave - He Entered The Grave!
He Ascended to The Father - I Pray for His Return!
Jesus is Joy!
Gin is Sin!
Who will choose Jesus?
Who will come in
Out of the wilderness
In from the sea
Who will stand for Jesus
Forsaking what their eyes see?
Jesus - the Joy of Living
Gin - Satisfaction of Sin
Disparate leaders and followers
Some climbing high up
Some out on a brittle limb.
Jesus leads o’er the tumult
Gin benumbs the heart
Jesus lifts High To Glory
Gin lays you out in a refuse cart!
Joyous in Jesus
Peaceful slumbering
Sinful with Gin
A vat of crap falling in
Then Judgment Day dawning
The King all will see
The Joyous in Jesus
Unto Heaven filled with glee
But those pickled in Sin’s Gin
Scales fallen from their cloudy eyes
Will behold the Great Blessing
That Sin’s Gin 'n Lies did hide
That Heaven’s coming came
That Satan’s promises lame
Have cost them - the Sinful
The Saint’s bold and stout refrain:
Jesus the Joy
Loving hearts did employ
With work, wrestling, and walking
Showing Heaven was no ploy
Now that Time’s end has sounded
The Saved safe and firm grounded
Singing Praises to King Jesus
Are on to His Glorious Home bound!
Glory be to find the joy that Jesus Is!
Glory be to be saved by The Son!
Heaven is the abode Of God
Where we are welcomed Home!AMEN!
