Because Of Jesus Christ's Love ...!

Because Of Love  
A Heart Did Break!
Because Of Love 
He Let Them His Life Take
And Satan And His Minions
Did Joyously Celebrate
Because Love They Truly Did Hate!

Because Of Love
A Repentant Soul Will Be Saved!
Because Of Love Confessed 
Sin Can No More The Penitent Enslave!
Because Of Love
I Can Hold Up My Head
Because The King Of Love is Living Not Dead!

Because Of Love
Sin And Death Couldn't Keep Jesus Christ In The Grave!
Because Of Love
Jesus Christ Came Out Living 
From The Cold Grave
And Satan And His Minions
Are Now On A Hate-filled Rampage!

Because Of Love
My Eyes Have Been Salved!
Because Of Love I Will Not Bow To The Golden Calf!
Because Of Love
I No Longer Live My Life Half And Half
And Satan And His Minions Are Seeking To Destroy Me
By Stimulating A National Good-Sin Policy Draft!

But ...

The Lord Is My Shepherd!
I Don't Follow The Multitude!
I Walk To Christ As One Faithful
Even If Doing That Makes Me Walk Alone
And Everyone Label Me 
A Religiously Fundamental Intolerant Prude!

Because Of Love 
I Shall See My King Some Day!
Because Of My Sorrowful Repentance
I Won't For My Own Sins Have To Pay!
Because Of God's Love
I Can Sing: "Hallelujah!" Today
And Pray And Praise Him To The End Of My Days!

I Go To God!

My God - The Eternal God - Will:

Save Me

Judge Me

Search Me

Bless Me

Teach Me

Guide Me

Guard Me

Carry Me

Comfort Me

Shield Me

Seal Me

Prove Me

Send Me Out On His Service

and

FINALLY

He Will Redeem Me

and

He Will Take Me ... HOME!!

In The Quiet Moment
I Mediate
I Pray
I Commune
With My Heavenly Father
Be It Morning
Night or
Noon!

I Think On The Heavenly Father
AND
I Say My Prayers To The God Of Love!

We Talk - Back and Forth!
It is Quite Normal
AND
We Listen to Each Other
Out of Pure Love!

My Love For My Lord
Is Unequal!
It Can Never Equal Itself To His Love For Me
For My God and His Love Are Infinite
AND
My Love Is Only As Big As 
Mortal Little Dust Like Me!

When I Think Of God and His Provision
Of Sight
Sound
Taste
Touch and Smell
I Think of His Amazing Energy
And It Is Definitely Not Like That Found 
In A Man-made Battery Cell!

When I Pray To My God
I Make My Father Acquainted 
With My Hope, Wants, Needs, and Dreams
My Sorrows,  Cares and Fears!
He Knows Them Already - That is NOT The Issue!
I Believe That He Cares
And Will My Burdens Bear
And Me With Blessings Fill
As He My Seeking Heart Prepares and Thrills!

When I Commune with My Master
It Is Because I Expect Something To Receive!
I Always Go To Him With My Head, Heart and Hand Open
Fully Expecting to Be Fed!

I Believe I Believe As An Innocent Babe Does
That My Father God Will For My Benefit Perform!
I -  as yet -  Do Not Know How He Performs His Great Feats
BUT 
I Know That With Him Near
I Will Always Be Safe
Saved
Standing Firm
On Rooted Grounded Narrow Path Straight-Walking Feet!

I Go To God
Believing
Accepting
Trusting
Knowing
That I know That He Is Faithful!
Knowing That I Know That He Is Real!
Knowing That I Know - Come Hell Or High Water
That My God Will Not Permit 
My Hope in His Word
By A Lie from His Lips
To Be Cast Down or
Even Derailed!

My God IS God!
My God is Truth!
My God is Light!
My God is Right
In Sunlight
In Nightlight
In Heaven
On Earth
Under Earth and
In The Sea!
The Heavens Declare It!
My Hearts Accepts It!
God's Spirit Confirms It!
Jesus Christ Stands For It
AND THAT 
Is Good Enough ... For Me!

I Go To God!

Prayer: Lord, Open The Gates

Father, we are Christ-Believing Christians

But we have not yet resisted unto Shedding of Our Blood

Have Mercy

Have Pity, and 

Protect us, Lord

From The Demonic Horde

Pursuing like The Great Drowning Flood!

Lord, grant us Your Grace - You Promised!

Grant us Your Peace - Jesus Shed His Blood!

Give us The Battle Win - The War is Already Over!

Hasten, Lord - Open The Gates of Heaven

We can hardly wait

To Enter The Home Jesus Won for us

By Dying to Save us

From our own Just Fate!

We know that You Can't Be Late!

Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!

Come!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + When God Looks Upon This Face

From you I rate no second glance
Nor even a small, kind word
But when God looks upon this face
He sees beauty unreviled.

To you I rate no deep concern
To you I have no merit
But when Jesus looks upon this face
He says my life has His upon it!

You look outside!
You use earth-eyes!
You judge me on the surface!
But Jesus, bless His Holy Name
Decided His Love had no such limits!

He loves me not for what I do, or did, today
Or on some distant shore
He loves me for He knows I’m ill
And that He, Himself, is my only cure!

I see His look of love each day
And am blessed to know I - without merit -
Can ask Him for some favor small
And know He’ll not put strings upon it!

He loves me, and I love Him, too, and
In the grand scheme there's no need to shout about it!
But glory be to God on High
I’m blessed, and I don’t care who knows about it!

Christ looked inside!
He bled! He died!
And because He did, one day
I’ll be hailed in new body, perfect and glorified!
