The Road Of Faith!

I was walking down a road one day
I was looking for its sign
I looked, and looked, and then I saw
The tree-branch it stood behind!

This road was of a special sort
It lead somewhere truly important
And only those who travel there
Have been issued a Fairway To Life Warrant!

This Warrant gives permission for The Bearer
To travel onward - up - to God!
None else can travel on this road
Save he who has by #FaithInGod striven!

The Road of Faith leads upward
To The Living God
And all who stay The Distance
Enter into His Great Reward!

Sooo...

Would YOU care to walk with Me

To meet The Living God?

Drape yourself with Faith

Walk in Faith

Persevere through Faith

Live by Faith

Contend for The Faith

Pray for more Faith

Gentle Jesus' Love embrace

Let nothing from The Road You displace

And, soon, You will behold God's Face!

PRAYER: Father, Forgive Me For ...

Father forgive me for yesterday

Day before yesterday

A week ago

Week before last

One month ago

Last quarter

Six months ago

Last year

Two years ago

Five years ago

The last decade. 

Forgive me My past. 

Forgive me for today. 

And if life be spared, forgive me for what I do wrong tomorrow. 

Father, I am pleading with You 

To rein me back from ever seeking to find out 

What it means to live without You!

I don't want be in charge of my life, Father! 

I want to be Your child! 

Let me be Your responsibility! 

I don't want independence from Your control! 

Let me be a dependency! 

Lord, let me be the proverbial leech on Your Love!

I have traveled the world, and it was not fun! 

It's been cold, and cruel, and corrosive! 

Please lead me, guide me, humble me

Hold me, hinder me, hide me

Make me over, take me over

Carry me over, take me through

Open my eyes, clear my ears

Fill my heart, take my hand

Order my footsteps 

Lord, let me stand before You

Convinced, convicted

Clean and committed

Prominently displaying my Red Ticket

And waiting for my white robe and my gold crown

Even as I work for Your Glory!

Remove Self from Myself

And make me like You!

Lord - by Your Grace and Mercy 

Through the Faith of Jesus

And the Comfort of The Holy Spirit -

I am Yours! 

Amen.
