No Regrets Later!

Dedicated To The Task

I Was Walking 

Along The Way Of Life
Contented 

To Walk With The Lord
Until 

The Day I Came To The Cross Roads
AND
Read The Bill Board
Identifying Each Road
As Can Only Be Written
By The Fraud!

Out Of The Blue ...

My Mind Became Cloudy!
My Spirit Became Fevered

As Fevered As Fevered Can Be!

Everything Seemed So Exciting
AND
This Thing

That Thing

These Things

Those Things

All Things
Were Calling 

Calling

Calling Out To Me!

I Felt Drawn
Enamored
AND
I Wondered:

"What If ...!"

When I Smelled The Aroma
Of Someone Smoking A Spliff!

I Heard Raucous Music!
I Heard A Laughing Uproar!
I Heard Two Voices Three
Screaming ...

"Let Me Out Of This Door!"

I Heard Glasses Clinking

AND
I Heard A Funeral Dirge
BUT
I Heard No Voice Praying
To The Master
For
Those Souls Were Indulging
Suffering
From The Unexpected

The Unanticipated 

Foul Purge!

I Felt Myself Pulled Up Sharply!
My Heart Was Not Here
On 

The Wide Expanse
Of 

Wasted Lives
For
I Wanted
Desired
Yearned
To Walk Straight
From Common Living
Unto Eternal Life
Which Could Only Be Accomplished
By Walking The Straight And Narrow Way
BUT
Here
I. Was. Being. Tempted!
From My Lord
To Go Astray!

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

That I Held To Me So Dear
I Said:

"Father, I Am Thine!"

Please Point Me

And

Bless Me To Walk

On The Straight Line

For You Are My God

Holy And Divine!

Help Me To Stay On The Right Path

Help Me Not To Flesh To Step Aside!

Help Me To Deny That Liar!

God Of Glory 

Be My Guardian And My Guide!

Help Me In Thy Love Ever To Abide!

AMEN.

I Looked Again
At That Bill BoardTurned Guide Post

AND
- Though Nearly Obscured -
I Found The Path
Marked

"Right Way

... For Those That Faithful Be!"

AND
Giving God Praise
For

A Weak-By-Self-Strong-In-God-Victory

I Plodded Gladly Onward
To That Gloriously Eternal

Eternal City!

The Way Is Oft' Hard
BUT
The Great God Is Good
For
My Companions Are Holy Angels
AND
The Holy Spirit
Is My Comforter

AND

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Have

Faithful To God

Stood!

Brethren,
Do Not Be Presumptuous!
Do Not Assume That You Can
Of Your Own Self
Know The Way!
Pay Attention!
AND
Really Read The Guide Posts
For
They Are There For
Correction
Protection
Direction
AND
Are Not To Be Ignored
Because Of Wilful Self's Predilection!

Take Time
To Read With Understanding!
Walk In Faith

AND
Put Blind Eyes 

AND

Lustful Urges
On The Back Burner Called Past Life
AND
Trust The Word Of Truth

AND

Not Him Who 

Always - Justifying Sin - Has A Plaster

AND

Is Justly Called

The King Of Disaster!

Put Faith First

And

Have No Regrets Later!

PRAYER ... From Unfeigned Lips!

If Jesus Will Save Us

Satan Will Strafe Us!

If Jesus Will Chastise Us

Satan Will Praise Us!

If Jesus Will Lead Us

Satan Will Deceive Us!

Because

Jesus Christ IS Lord

AND

Satan IS Ever The Fraud!

PRAYER:

Father,

Let Not Pride Be My Passion!

Let Not Deceit By My Fashion!

Let Not Ungodly Fear

Cause Me

You Good Name To Foreswear

And

Help Me

Ever

Always

To You

In Humble Heartfelt Prayer

To Repair!

Let My Conscience

Be My Guide!

Help Me In The Holy Spirit

To Abide!

Help Me In My Jesus

To Confide

And

Let The Holy Angels

Be Ever By My Side!

Help Me, Lord

To Eat For Strength

And Not For Drunkenness!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Drink The Wine

Of Covetousness!

Help Me Not To Cultivate

A Spirit Of Compromise

And

Help Me Not To Trust

The Imaginings

Cultivated Of The Sight Of Seeing

But Woefully Blind

Eyes!

Help Me, Lord

To Hear The Still Small Voice

So That I

By Wisdom

Will Ever Make The Right Choice!

Help Me Not To Harbor

Resentment

Nor Greed

For He Who Is The Shepherd

Always

His Flock Of Sheep

Will Daily Feed!

I Pray For Grace!

I Pray For Faith!

I Pray For Heavenly Light

To See Beyond My Living Space!

Help Me To Hope

To Love

To Trust

To Honor And

To Obey

So That At The End

I Won't Be Away From You

Cast Out

In Eternal Disgrace!

I Love You, Lord!

Help Me To Love You More!

I Trust You, Lord!

Help Me To Trust You More

And

Please Keep Me

So That I Will Not Be Encouraging Satan

To Walk Through My Front Door!

Keep Me

And

Teach Me!

Correct Me

And

Direct Me

So That The Devil's Doing

Won't

Against You

Incite Me!

You Are My Father!

Make Of Me A True Child!

Help Me To Walk True To You

Knowing That Faith's Consequences

Are Safely Left

To Almighty God

You Who Is Ever Faithful And True!

Accept This My Prayer

From Unfeigned Lips

Offered In The Name Of Jesus Christ

In Whom Resides

Heaven And Earth's Kingship!

AMEN.
