VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God Is The Lord!

The Question Was Pointed:

How Do YOU See God?

There Were Christians
Agnostics
Deists
Atheists
And Some
With No Stripe
And However You Paint It
There Was Going To Be A Fight!

Every Body And His Brother
Had An Opinion
That Was Plain
AND
The Answers Were As Divergent
As Divergent Could Be
AND
They Caused The Christians Great Pain!

The Eternal God Is
The God Of All Graces

The Shepherd Of Souls
The Builder Of Safe Folds
The Leader Of The Righteous
The Overcomer Of Sin
AND
To Those Faithful
Who To Him Are True
He Is Willing
Ever Ready
AND
Always Able
To Save
Because They Recognize Their True Condition
AND
Will
To Awaken From The Grave!
I Am One!
Are You?!

No Sin Is Too Evil
AND
No Pain Is Too Great
That It Is Beyond His Ability
To Forgive
To Heal
When Confessing
AND
Repentant
We Give Back To Him
What He Gave To Us
Our Will AND Our Choice
AND
Choose
To Walk In His Way!
I'm Walking!
Will You Join Me On The Way?!

All Good Gifts

Faith

Grace

Forgiveness

True Beauty

Mercy

Forgiveness

Salvation

Draughts From The Water Of Life

Rest For The Weary

Sweet Peace In Sleep Ever The Night

Forgiveness

And

Redemption On The Great Day

Wake Up!
Walk In The Light
AND
The Damned Devil Valiantly Fight!

God Is Not An Ideal!
God IS!
Worship Of The Living God
Is Not A Bill
Nor A Law
To Be Put Forth
Voted
Proclaimed
AND
Being No Vote Getter
Promptly Repealed!

God Is Life Eternal
For Those Who Choose
To Him
Through Christ's Blood
To Be
For Eternity
Everlastingly Sealed!
God Will The Faithful One Seal!

Worshipping God Is No Accident!
Salvation Is No Perhaps!
Eternal Life Is No Fairy Tale
AND
Jesus Christ
The Way To Eternal Life
Cannot
Will Not
The Believing Child Fail!
Put Your Finger
On The Impress Of The Cruel Nail!

The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
The Protection Of Holy Angels
The Word Of The Living God
AND
The Blood Of The Lamb
Make Life Now
Worth Living
AND
Life Hereafter
Real
Non-Regrettable
