My Father Is My All In All!
In Love, He Beckoned To Me 
And 
In Gratitude, I Answered His Call!
I Accept That My Life Is My Own
But 
Not To Do Whatever My Flesh Requests
And
For The Very Reason
I Have Chosen To Give Back To My Dear Father
The Sovereign, Free Will And Free Choice
That He Gave Unto Me
And
The Path That I Walk Which He, Alone, Makes Straight
And
I Choose To Listen To The Still, Small, Voice Of Truth
Truth For Today ... Always Today
And
I Hold On To The Extended Hand Of Help
With Living Hope
Even As I Lean On The Everlasting Arm
Even As I Shelter Under His Wings
Even As I Rest On His Breast
Listening To The Holy Heart Which Broke
And
Died
With And For Love For Me!

I Believe My Dear Father
And
I, By His Grace
Intend To Endure In This To-Everlasting-Life Race!
My Father Promises That For Me ... In Heaven
In His House
There Is A Personal Place!
I Shall Not His Holy Name Disgrace!

Tell Me How Big Is Your God!

Did Not Our Holy And Living God

The Shepherd
The Provider
The Sustainer
Our Hope
Our Helper
Our Healer
Our Sealer
Our Savior
AND
Our Friend 
Say: ASK
Nothing Wavering
Because He Has Nothing For Those Who Doubt?

Yes ... .

Alright Then.

So, Who Is Your God?
Can Your God Do
OR
Does He Just Require YOU To Do Things To Prove That You Love Him?
OR
Has Your God Already Done All
To PROVE To You That YOU Can AND Should TRUST Him?

Our God Says If We Love Him
Keep His Commandments!

Yeah! 
Our Keeping 
Of All God's Commandments 
Means Obedience!

Which God Is Your God:

The One Who Loves You By Unalterable Action
OR
The God Who - By Outside Inputs - 
Goads You Into Unprofitable Reactions!?

Is Your God Holy? True? Real?

Is Your God The One
Whose Living Word Cannot Fail?

If Your God Is One
Who Can Be Caused To Fall
To Topple Over
AND
Who Can Be Set Up To Fail
AND
Not Deliver On His Own "Promises!"
You Need To Get Rid Of Him
AND
Get The God Eternal
Who Created Us All
Planet And All
Heaven And All!

I Hear That!

Father,

Free Me From Doubt!

Father, Free Me!

My Soul Is Crying Out!

Help Me To Trust You

Totally

And 

To Believe

That My Requests

Asked Not Amiss

I Shall

By Faith Receive!

Amen.

My God Is REAL ...!

AND ...?

... So Is My Faith!

God Has Got Me Covered!!

AMEN!!

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston looked at the rising sun and saw

Another challenge waiting to victimize!

Marcelle looked at the same rising sun and saw

Another blessing – oh praise Him who supplies!

Marston looked at the mirror and there he saw

Miserable weariness on the face of years!

Marcelle looked in the same mirror and saw

Happy tiredness on a face with no fears!

Marston looked at the old horse and saw

Just another drain upon their oft' meager supplies!

Marcelle looked at the same old horse and saw

A faithful laborer who never gave a surprise!

He looked at Her and She looked at Him

Each looked at the other, and saw deep within

He saw the peace that she held most dear

She saw anger, bitterness, and much despair!

They both spoke at the same time!

Both wanted to be heard!

She said: “You go first!”

He said: “Don't be absurd!”

This, my friends, is how it is

When unequally yolked two partners be

She says: “It is an 'A!'” He says: “Oh, you mean 'Z!'”

And so, Dear Ones, they can never agree!

Darkness and Light, Blackness and White

She means By Faith, He means By Sight

She holds her Bible dear, He won't ever come near

He won't go to Bible Class, They are ever at an impasse!

For many years, Marcelle faithfully prayed ... to God!

For many years, Marston faithfully played ... the Fraud

Until one fateful day not too long past

He came very near to breathing his last!

And so it was that perspectives aligned

She asked to pray for him, and he ever so quickly replied:

"Dear Wife, I am sorry for all that I've done and been!

Pray to your Jesus! I need to be made clean!”

So after years of pleading and praying for him

Marcelle prayed to The Dear Lord, and asked Him to draw nigh

To her beloved husband along life's journey e'er long

And thanked the Almighty for His love so kind and true

For keeping this Dear One so that he, too

Could be welcomed into the Household of Faith

As he had now forsaken what was his great disgrace!

“Oh clean him, Lord bless him, as he walks the narrow way

And by Your Grace, Father, we'll see You faith to Face!” **BJC**
