I Don't Have To Elope!

A ship without a captain
A heart without a home
A harbor that offers no shelter
Love, lonely, lost, alone.

A reward for doing nothing
Remorse for what holds no shame
Crying for what gains not
Innocence carrying another's blame.

Living a life without boundaries
Acquiring gain without work
Taking another's need for your want
Blocking exits Lighting fire and then sounding Be Alert!

Right now wrong gives the Wicked might
Good now bad makes Evil glad
Light now dark give the Satanic insight
Look to hear. Hear to see.
Lord, have Mercy?
Woe, Woe, Woe is me!

Spirit is to Comfort.
Jesus is to Save.
Father God offers Grace and Mercy
To whom to Satan is here enslaved.

Prayer is Power.
Confession Is Relief.
The Blood bought Salvation.
The Resurrection decimated Death and Grief.

The Ascension deeded Hope.
The Return dispatches Redemption and,
 Bless God, as a Faithful and True Believer,
With Death I won't have to elope!

I Have Taken A Lover

I have taken a lover - but I am selfish.

My lover speaks to me in calm, and soothing, whispers of his love and his hope for us to spend together, Eternity.

I hear the words.

I hear him speak of the things I will perceive, the things I will receive.

I like things, but - and - I am selfish.

My lover comes to me time after time, often and again.

We walk on lush and verdant carpet, in his country home beside quiet and gentle streams.

He speaks to me of gifts, of beauty, of Love, of his willingness to sacrifice for me.

I hear the words, but I am selfish.

Today, he wants to hear my voice. He wants kind words, even a word, singing praise.

He wants to see my face in the light of his love.

He touches my head, and my bosom, and his arms enfold me.

My heart is startled, and words as prayers, of Love, of adoration, hope, glory, Love, home, Love, the light, my sight, my heart, His help, of Love at home, no loss, never alone, pour forth.

I have, heretofore, not known LOVE!

He LOVES Me!

He LOVES Me bodily!

His LOVE consumes my heart for He LOVES my very Soul!

No longer am I selfish!

Realization dawns.

It's not the gifts.

I want HIM!

In my bosom is His LOVE to Me expressed.

In my head, and through my heart, by voice, is my love for Him confessed.

My head, propelled by His Heart, is thrown back in ecstasy.

I truly see Him as He is!

I am no longer tethered to time.

I am ... I have left mortality behind.

I know now, for sure, that this time, this Lover of mine, is True LOVE, and Divine.

This LOVE will last
For it is cast
In beautiful and beneficial blood
Bound by brutality
Cornered by carnality
But blessed with bounty and belief
In Christ's proficiency
In denying the Devil his dance of destruction upon me
A child of chance
Begotten in wild romance
Crazy by circumstance
Now LOVED in permanence
And awaiting the arrival of
The Cloudy Coach and Caravan
Propelled by Wings and Wonders
Wonderfully wheeling and whizzing
Captivating and calling
Colorful
Justly joyous
With golden crowns
Glorious garments
Smiles and laughter
Saints singing in satisfaction, and ME
Along
In the midst
Of the throng
Voicing glad, and prayerful, song.

My LOVER - The LORD!

We are alone, together, in One Accord.

We belong.

We are alone
Together - finally and forever
In His heavenly
Heavenly Home.

One question.

Why did I wait so long to Commit to be to Him a bride, walking side by side, earth and hell denied?

Your Best Life Now?!?

You do not want your best life now

In this old world of woe

For when all is said and done here below

Where, friend, will you go?

My Jesus has prepared a place for me

In the Father’s House

In a land fairer than the day -

And there is no night there!

Eye hath not seen nor ear heard

The plans that God has for His people

So think twice, friend, lest you should end

Up like those that are now called sheeple!

Don’t follow that great multitude

Who deny the Lord His right

To govern over all their lives

Though He has the might!

Don’t let Satan influence you to deny the Lord

As you well know that he has done

Reject him and his minions

And reach gladly for the Son!

Jesus, the Son, sacrificed Himself for you

Upon that shameful tree

Accept His death, His life raised on high

For He loves you mightily!

Study to show yourself approved

A watchman worthy of his hire

Bear your burdens and trials now

And tomorrow there won’t be any yelling about the fire!

Things don’t satisfy the soul!

Things, my friend, benight the soul

Of those who trust in the goods/gods of this world

And try to keep our Jesus under the sole!

Don’t be deceived! God is not mocked!

Know well that there is a reckoning

Coming for all mankind

Both the good and those unbecoming!

King Jesus is coming! All Heaven is coming!

Jesus’ rewards He is bringing in His hand

To give to each as he has worked -

I pray that you worked according to His Plan!

Work now! Night comes!

Live life for Jesus! Don’t live like a sow!

Look to the Light!

Make now your vow:

Heaven! I am going! And how!
