The Baby Walks
Victoriously

BUT

First He Had To Stand Up!

His Mother Roared In Triumph

For

Her Child Walks

Confidently

Strongly

Steadily

Placing Foot In Front Of Foot!

The Boy Rides

And Rides

In Circles

Daringly

AND

Free

BUT

First

He Had To Gain Balance

AND

Ride Straight

Before He Could Ride 

In Circles

Victoriously!

The Young Lady's Hormones Were Raging!

The Young Man's Libido Was Sprung

BUT

They Had Promised The Master

That They Would Wait

Until

She Had Been Dedicated To Him

On The Day That She Wore

Her Pristine White Wedding Gown!

The Battle Was Fierce!

The Promise Paramount!

Their Faith In The Master

Would Carry Them To The Great Day

To Hear

The Pronouncement:

"She To You Now Belongs!"

AND

The Battle Long Fought

Was Won

Because Of One Prayer

AND

Walking Day By Day

Trusting God To Bless The Way

AND

Their Victory Did Hallow 

Their Beautiful Wedding Day!

The Sinner Turned To Become A Saint

After Many Feints

BUT

With Turning To The Master

Wobbly Steps Became Straight
AND

He Was Soon Steadfastly Walking

AND

Trusting God 
At His Word

AND

Accepting Guidance From The Holy Spirit

All The While Truly Believing That God Sees Every Action

AND

Hears Every Word!

He Did Trust 
AND
He Obeyed!

He Believed God 
AND
He Daily Prayed

For

The Mercy

AND 

The Grace Which Are Available

To Help Him
From The World

To Turn Away!

One Step!

Two Steps!

Three Steps!

Four!

Soon Walking

Then Running Without Being Weary

Then Rising Up With The Wings Of An Eagle

Above The Earth

BUT

It All Started

With Faith

Then Belief

Love

Then Trust

AND

Suddenly

Obedience

Became The Thing Marked:

"I Must!!"

Accident Has Not Victory!

Victory Requires A Plan 

AND

Work!

Let Faith Cause You To Work

Out Of Love Of Him

Who Made You 
AND
The Beautiful Earth!

Trust God - He Is Faithful!

Live For Jesus - Who For You Died!

Be Comforted - Of The Holy Spirit

Whose Temple You Are

AND

Wherein He Abides!

There Is No Need To Walk In Your Own Strength

For

There Is Grace 

Sufficient

For Each And Every Day

AND

Faith ... Which Gives The Victory

Through Jesus Christ The Master

Our Savior Redeemer

AND

Our Friend!

Jesus Christ Is Coming

To Claim His Very Own

For He - Himself 
Has Conquered

Death, Hell The Grave
AND
Sin's Benighted Throne!

Jesus Said His Father Works

AND

That He Who Must Work, Too

SO

We Who Love And Trust In Him

Must

Get Up!

AND

Get Out!

AND

Work!

For That, Dear Ones Is 

God's Written Gospel Truth!

Victory Over Sin

Is In Sight

BUT

We Must Go Out

- By Jesus' Faith -
To Claim It

FOR

It Will Never Walk Toward Us

BECAUSE

We Must Work 
- Faithfully -
For It!
