NWO Elite?!

I am searching the Web
And all I read about is The Elite
And some New World Order
Which smell like they're longing for their coming defeat!

When I think of the elite
I think of those  who give of their best
To help, to teach, to love mankind
Not those who behave like card-carrying
Judas Goats covered in disease-carrying pests!

There is nothing I read to recommend these persons
Who believe that the Earth is too small
To accommodate both the poor and the monied -
So one will have to get off! Pushed that is!

The poor, the hungry, the jobless
The fatherless, the baby-makers and
Those with any dye on their skin
Are to be considered anathema
And used as fire wood in a brick kiln!

Worthy! Not Worthy! Unworthy!
The Worthy know that they are worthy!
The Worthy say the unworthy are not worthy
Of the air space and resources they use
And Worthy must fumigate
The Planet of the vermin and its expense
Because it adds nothing to their pool
Of money and mansions, and machinations
So they the Earth must re-tool!

The Lord, in His Mercy
Provides the Plan of Redemption
But Elitists who made themselves be special
Have machinated on World Domination!

God made Man to worship Him
Man denies God and worships himself
And is totally in love with the call to
“Do what thou wilt!”

What is so elite about a self-made god?
Nothing that I can see or understand.
Let me stick with Jesus Christ, the Maker
And not fall for the ramblings of some faker
Who can't stop himself from visiting the undertaker and
Who will soon be dropped
Into the Lake of Brimstone and Fire!

Don't Be Fooled:

These NWO Elite are neither wise nor omnipotent

and they will be humbled!

Jesus Christ Reigns and Rules Forever!

Deal With That!

Equal Standing?!

You are rich and I am poor
You are young and I am old
You live free but I was sold, and, yet, we both stand equally - human.

You stand with kings and captains proud
You tell of things that in my mind cloud
Your garments proud mine vulgar loud and, yet, we both stand equally - alive.

 I have not much but that I share
You have a lot but at the poor You stare
I breathe your dust, you breathe rarified air, and, yet, we both stand equally - blessed by God's Grace.

We say our prayers
We bless the Lord
You run all the big committees - I work on clean up crew
And, yet, we both stand equally - as workers for God.

Today our Leader entered the door and
An accounting was immediately rendered
For He said He was giving out prizes today
Unto all who to Him had faithful service tendered.

Oh, how you huffed and puffed with pride
Oh, how you crowed that you would get the best prize
You even jumped the line so you'd be first for
You'd used your access and your purse and hosted parties for the pride of the universe.

He called my name, my heart did swell,
For blessings of faith in Him, my brothers did tell
And when He said: "Blessings! Welcome!"
On my knees in gratitude I fell.

All prizes were issued
Your name was not called
For He said He could not your name recall
And requested your removal from His banquet hall
And it  was then that I knew we were not equal at all - you worshiped yourself
Not The King Who Created Us All.

Dear Ones,

Working for the Master is a much about hands as it is about hearts.

Do you do your service for Him to be seen of men? To get plaques and certificates and ribbons and hotel stays and paid conferences and cruises?

 Are you prophesying, preaching, saying smooth things to the Brethren so that you are their favorite minister, administrator, teacher, prophet, apostle, psalmist, bible worker?

Or, are you carrying a burden for souls, teaching the people the UNDILUTED GOSPEL OF GOD'S TRUTH and GRACE, visiting the sick and the sorrowing, the suffering, the helpless, the homeless, the hapless, the forlorn, the forgotten, the almost lost, severely lonely, the stressed, the depressed, the wickedly oppressed?

Do you pray and pass your faith along? Do you show love and give lunch? Do you help and hug?

The Day is soon coming when those who serve god - not God - will hear "Depart from me!" Please don't let us be so counted!

ONE!

Just One!

One Heart - chose to love us
One heartbeat - says that God is Love
One voice - to speak of, and sing for, the King
One soul - to save - and He would have still died
One hell - saved for those who have Him denied
One who is Whole - and The Guardian of The Human Soul
One Love - Christ! Behold!
One hate - Satan’s perfect date
One sorrow - for sin
One date - with death
One perfect destiny - to profess and possess
One Truth - Jesus Christ IS God IS alive AND coming to Earth again
One fate - for those who fail the Blessed Test
One true call - to answer to Eternal Life
One awakening - to be glorified
One Lord - of the Ages
One God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit
One baptism - the plunge into and the emergence from the watery grave
One Hope and Surety - that Jesus Christ loves His children through and through
One Heaven - the reward for not living the Lie
One hell - for denying that the Lord Jesus Christ for you died
One death-knell - guaranteed, one day
One Prayer of Belief - Lord, I'm sinner! Please save me!
One Savior - Jesus, who paid our costs
One Forgiveness - which is of God Almighty
One vow - to see God in Eternity
One Mediator - between God and Man
One Shepherd - of The Sheep
One Father - of All
One Son of The Father - who was sent to seek and to save
One Holy Spirit - which was sent to comfort and teach
One Sabbath - called Holy and Sanctified
One Alpha - Jesus Christ
One Omega - Jesus Christ
One First-fruit - of ALL
One Revelation - of God’s Glory
One Way - to God
One say - my Spirit-activated conscience's own
One to pay - Him to whom our life is owed
One grave - the silent, temporary, dusty bed
One glory - to which we are by Faith led
One life - to live for and through Christ
Alone
All One
All
ONE!

O ur weak sight
N eeds God's
E verlasting Light to see to
F ight the
I gnoble deeds of
G reed and gluttony, and the gross grains and groundings of
H ate is healthful and
T emptation is terrific transport to sin without shame.

Pssst! What Are YOU Wearing?!

What type clothing do you wear?
Clothing of Honor, clothing of Disrepair?
A little bit tattered, a little bit dark
Or perhaps like a rainbow as appeared across from the ark?

Perhaps a bit sedate?
Flamboyant - is that you?
Is your outward apparel showing you true
Or is it camouflaging a spirit in need
Or perhaps it is covering a spirit of faith and good deeds?

We are what we eat!
We shout we are what we wear
BUT is the outward display
Covering the inward working today?

Public life private reality
Turn it over - Turn it around
Are you true to yourself
Or perhaps you're living your life upside down?

Pretty and clean clothes speak of dignity!
Tattered and unkempt speak of indignity!
Do you meditate to mediate
Or do you mediate to machinate?

Do you hate and hurt
Or comfort and love?
Are you inspired by God or
Do you conspire against God?
Or are you wearing brass knuckles
In soft and white kid gloves?

Do you fear the Lord or do you jeer the Lord?
 Do you share or do you cause despair?
Do you mitigate or do you litigate?
Do you defy and lie?
Do you you conspire and try?

Are you a pest that tests?
Are you a flower that congests?
Are you getting your chores for the Lord done
Or are you indulging in whoredoms?

Do you toil for good or do you foil real good?
Do you spread words of faith or spew words of distaste?
Are you a worker worthy of hire or a worker one can't wait to fire?
Is your smile a guile or is your guile a smile?

Do you offer a rope of hope
Or is your offer of hope a rope?
Are you grabbing Grace
Or are you hiding your face?

Are you living a lie?
Are you lying to live?
Are you dying for a cry?
Are crying to die?
Are you looking to the Eastern Sky or are you being distracted by that Evil Tsetse fly?

So... what clothing are YOU really wearing today?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH - The Comfort of The Pacifier + Prayer: Lord, Let Me

I had a pacifier
Thumb Left it was by name
He was the very best friend I had
And he was always ready for a game.

Our most favorite game was called Comfort
Oh, how often we indulged
We did not need to have an upset
All it took was a touch look smell of Love.

When Comfort was being savored
You would not image the bliss
For the taste was indescribable
Even without added starch, color, preservative or fill.

Well, Thumbie served me well when I was childlike
But as I grew I needed to play Comfort less and less
Until finally with age, I entered upon Grown Persons Stage
And Thumbie was placed on Put Away Childish Things Page.

Today, I no longer have a pacifier for Comfort
I have a Comfort called Jesus for Joy
And, oh, what challenges we've conquered and walked through
Oh, the petty things set aside all because of Joining Jesus for Joy!

The hardest by far were Savior Calling
Acknowledge Sin, Confession Is Good for the Riven Soul
Repenter's Baptism Is Glorious
And By Faith Saints Always Follow Through.

Today, Jesus woke me up and told showed me
The new journeys upon which we are embarked
He said Follow God, Spirit Lead
Satan's The Fraud, Deny Flesh, and Take a Stand
Were precursors to Final Not Fantasy, and Arrival in Beulah Land.

Jesus promised that hard though these journeys will be
With Him I shall overcome and be free
And will have Heaven's Rest for Eternity
Where, Love knows no bounds
The Grounds of Heaven will stun and astound
Taste will amaze
Light of God will there blaze
And Ecstasy will not be passing or a phase.

Dear Lord,

Help me not to preach 

Peace with a sword nor

Love with a fist nor

Hope with a heel nor 

Healing with hunger 

But

Instead, Lord

Let me 

Show and share Your Divine Light in the Darkness

and

Let me

Point the People to the safety of Your Ark

As I sing of Your Mercies as the Lark!

Oh, Lord, bless and keep me faithful by Your Grace

For I ask this in the name of Him who is Faithful

Jesus Christ, the King. 

I love You, Lord.

Amen

HAPPY SABBATH + They Could Not See Him

They could not see Him with carnal eye
For their carnal eye contained a stye
A painful stye that comes from Sin
And the only way to destroy it is with a pin from Him.

That pin is Salvation
And IT is free to all
It comes by Faith and contains Mercy
Mixed solidly by Grace with Water and Blood and The Gospel Story
And delivered by The Savior He, the King of Love
And Administered by The Holy Spirit - the Comforter from Heaven Above.

You must a word of Repentance say
You must make your Confession of His Faith clear
And into the Watery Grave you must plunge
And upon your emergence the Stye that bugged your eye will have popped
And lust to sin will have been gloriously stopped.

Then, an Angel - excelling in strength -
Will be your faithful companion until the End of Time
Recorded, no more to roll for Heaven will be unfurling
Indeed, as a scroll, there to reveal, Him that is the Hope of the Ages!

SURPRISE!

 He wasn't a joke as declared by Satan
But a King as proclaimed by Wise Men
He is King to Me and Judge to the Fool who said in his heart
"Good Gracious! What a tool, to make me some money and
Fashion me some fame!
I shall on His Altar the Good News proclaim
That riches are ready for him who will plant
A seed
In The Bank of Pay-See God - Get You A Lamp
And an oil, and a cross and a handkerchief, too
But most of all give me your money so I may see gain
And live the Life of Riley while you will live - ultimately -
In gross and eternal shame
For I have not taught you
The Truth or the Right!
I, by my masquerade, cost you Heavens Light
To be eternally lost when Him you could have found
And all because I could not Greed cast down!
Good now, gold later should have been my song
But I followed the Destroyer and turned it around!
I kept me my Stye
And I lived in a sty
And now at His coming, we will both die!
Eternal separation
Second death - be assured -
Cannot be avoided without Salvation Pure!
A Stye in the Eye will kill you!
Get to Jesus! He has The Cure!"

PRAYER: Lord, At This Very Moment

Lord, I offer you my life as my story for examination. Will You correct it and direct me in its continuation?

I come before you as a Child and a Willing Student, and I am prayerfully open to Your Direction.

Would you please correct my use of the language, my thought process, my punctuation, and my beliefs, and please add anything else - even a character builder - if it will cause my final grade to be the Mark of Perfection.

Where there is error, please put a full stop to it, and add in the Spirit of Correction and Direction.

Where there is a stray mark indicating my lack of focus and confidence, put a "Don't Do It!" period mark, and put in The Way-mark for Erasure of Sin and Indecision, and re-calibrate my Compass and make plain The Destination on My Mission Map.

Where there are deeds of love and compassion and caring, please put a "Well Done!" exclamation point for Good and Faithful Servants, and add in a song to cheer me on as I continue on The Way.

Where there is fear and failing, put a "Why Do You Doubt?" question mark and cover it with The Blood, and add a "God Can!" booster.

Where there are prayers and praise honoring and glorifying you, Lord, put a sign of Peace and Protection in Jesus.

And if my story has an "And The Night Cometh," please put the Mark of The Overcomer on the final page of stone, and a "Welcome Home, Child!" as the Victor's grade.

Lord, in it all, though I ask in my understanding, I plead with You to fulfill all according to Your Will for my life, for I know that You are Able and will do what is best for me.

Lord, my confidence is in You, and I love you and worship You in faith. Amen.

The Hand

The Hand of Deliverance is:

The Hand that delivers the Faithful from devilish desolators.

It is the same hand that delivers destruction to the destroyers of the Faithful.

It is the same hand that delivers Favor to the eye of Faith.

It is the same hand that comforts the head of the dying Saint and delivers from this life to Eternal Life.

It is the same hand that delivers the unrepentant sinner from bodily death to the soul death that is eternal separation from God.

The Hand of Deliverance IS:

The Hand of Providence
The Hand of Safety
The Hand of Security
The Hand of Comfort
The Hand of Joy
The Hand of Hope
The Hand of Help
The Hand of Healing
The Hand of Peace
The Hand of Grace
The Hand of The Good Shepherd
The Hand of The Savior
The Hand of The Redeemer
The Hand of Our Friend
The Hand of The Eternal God - The Light of The World!

Hope Revealed

Set in the Walls of Salvation
Are Beautiful Gates called Praise
Surrounding the City called Glorious
Lit by the Light of Life's Blaze.

The Residents are called Redeemed Ones
The Guardians are Angels Excelling in Strength
The Judge is He that is Righteous
And the King is He who on Calvary bled.

The Water in the City is Life-giving
Free to all, Crystal, in the shade
The homes of The Redeemed are Pure Gold
And each beholds the Face of its Savior
And the Worship of GOD amazes the Saved Soul.

Transport in the City is on Wings of Beauty
The streets are paved with gold transparent as glass,
This City is for Rest - it is the Home of The Blessed
Where the old order can never more stress nor molest.

Peace lives in The City
Hope Revealed is resident there too
And Joy Evermore is for ever chiming
And Wisdom and Understanding are on view.

I Am Amazed is always exclaiming!
Bless God is the constant refrain!
Thank You, Jesus is music resplendent
And the song Joy Is Mine is abundant and true!

A blessing for the Blessing of Discernment
Is constantly heard being applied
And Thank God for Grace is heard uttered
And also constantly and contentedly sighed.

Gratitude for Guidance is exalted
Along with Protection from Pride who is close beside
And Pray Without Ceasing, he beloved,
Is hugged so mightily for his offered relief
When the Saints were tested and tried.

With days without number before them
The Redeemed will on Glorious Journeys embark
They will find those to be thanked
For their concern, prayers, food, and kindly light
But, best of all, they will see and worship God
Whose personal commune they lost because of the Fall but
Who never ceased to love and to them call
And who from sin's curse redeemed them all.

I Don't Have To Elope!

A ship without a captain
A heart without a home
A harbor that offers no shelter
Love, lonely, lost, alone.

A reward for doing nothing
Remorse for what holds no shame
Crying for what gains not
Innocence carrying another's blame.

Living a life without boundaries
Acquiring gain without work
Taking another's need for your want
Blocking exits Lighting fire and then sounding Be Alert!

Right now wrong gives the Wicked might
Good now bad makes Evil glad
Light now dark give the Satanic insight
Look to hear. Hear to see.
Lord, have Mercy?
Woe, Woe, Woe is me!

Spirit is to Comfort.
Jesus is to Save.
Father God offers Grace and Mercy
To whom to Satan is here enslaved.

Prayer is Power.
Confession Is Relief.
The Blood bought Salvation.
The Resurrection decimated Death and Grief.

The Ascension deeded Hope.
The Return dispatches Redemption and,
 Bless God, as a Faithful and True Believer,
With Death I won't have to elope!

Afraid of Satan!?!

Why are you afraid of Satan?
He can do you no harm!
He knows that his time is finite
And his run against you seems to be working like a charm!?

Remember that our Master told us
About being fearful of those who cause bodily harm?
Well, Satan can cause damage to the body, but
Your soul has an Infinity Jesus Alarm!

So, when Satan and his minions are afflicting your body
Count it all to you great bliss
To suffer affliction of your body for King Jesus
Is one more thing that you can cross off
Of the Christian Accomplishment List!

Trust Jesus - His word never fails
Trust Jesus - His resolve never quails
Trust Jesus - His Blood bought your victory
Satan has lost - and is finished - and waiting for the ending details!

Tell Old Satan that he is flogging a dead horse
That ain’t never goin' run no more!
Tell him, thanks for the stripes - no offer of Godspeed
And bless our God for Peace, Joy and entry through Eternal Life's Door!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: To Do Good IS A Decision

DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY THIS IS?

Yes! 

It's Saturday! 

Sabbath! Weekend! No work!

And what does that mean?

IT MEANS THAT WE ARE 

ONE DAY CLOSER 

TO 

GOING HOME!!

To Do Good is a decision for
Sinning is the way of this Life
And Living According To One's Nature
Leads always to Constant Trouble and Strife!

Right Living requires Much Effort
Wickedness comes by Rote
And walking that way for many
Doesn't even require the necessary Working Conscience Vote!

But those who have met the Master
Do Right, and live with Constant and Persistent Hope
Real Hope and Hope Springs Eternal, and
Encourage The Faithful to Dwell In God's Light
And they, with The Comfort of the Spirit, and Aided By Holy Angels
Don't give in to Sin for there is always The Fight!

Pray Without Ceasing and Study to Show Thyself Approved
Are Helpers in Life's Battles
And with Grace At Your Side, you know that you Can't Lose
And will win because with Jesus Christ carrying The Tide
You'll know that you did The Right Choice choose!

HAPPY SABBATH + Laundry Day!

Today I did my laundry
For it was black with sin!
I put them in Jesus’ Cleansing Red Blood
And they emerged white after the dipping, and the spin!

How, you may well ask, could Red Blood
Make Black Sin turn Righteous White?
The only answer that I can give you
Is that it’s because of The Great Son Light!

Before I could do the laundry
I had to acknowledge that it contained dirt
And that it needed a cleansing
And I needed a detergent that would truly work!

It was then that I heard about Jesus
And His Cleansing and Renewing Red Blood
So I got me a full-size container
And opened it with a Confession With Tears Flood!

Oh, how wonderful it felt to remove those dirty garments!
Oh, how fabulous to see the working of The Blood!
For all Dirty Sin came pouring from within the cloth
And was no more to make me feel like a common sloth!

How I rejoiced when I saw my new garments emerging!
How fresh tears of gladness spilled forth!
How I cried “Glory Be!” and “Hallelujah!” and
“Thank You, Jesus!”
“Thank You, Lord, for the cleansing that Blood births!”

Please don’t take my word on this matter!
Order Jesus’ Cleansing Red Blood for yourself
And trust God Almighty to deliver
And get your laundry out of the condemned bundle and
Off the Corrupted and Marked for Destruction shelf!

In The Day Of Doubt

In the Day of Doubt
Yesterday, along with Past History,
History in the Making, Been There and
Done That, and Why Bother
Will join with Worry, Wonder,
Why Me, Why Now, Perhaps and
Just Because to cause you to Deny Hope
Doubt Faith, Question God and
cause you to, perhaps, Believe Belial’s lies
and Distrust Jesus’ Divinity and pastorage over your Life!

As you catch yourself, Prayers from the Past
Hope For Glory, Truth Prevails, Yesterday’s Triumphs in God
Why Worry, Prayer is Power, Sunshine In My Soul Today
Jesus Saves, Grace Is Provided, Peace That Passeth Understanding
Pray Without Ceasing and Love In Any Language
Remark that you should Find Hope In God, and remind you that there is
Victory in Jesus!

Then, as you rise from Momentary Faltering, look inside and see
No Spirit of Fear next to The Spirit of The Living God
Whose face is Serene
Whose voice is Comfort
Whose touch is Rest
Whose smell is compassion
Whose embrace is Love Divine, and realize that - though often Pressed
Stressed, Distressed, Bothered, Bewildered
Benighted and Bedevilled
Confronted, Confounded and Cursed - despite the Dizzying Array of
Devastating Deviltries designed to destroy your Deliverance to your
Divine Destination of Heaven At The Last, your Salvation is Secure
As long as you - Child Of The Living God -
Do Not Blind Your Faith by
Wearing Your Sight and
Exchanging Reason for The Feeling Which Always Fools.

The Assurance Of The Blood
That Bought/Brought Believers from Sinners To Saints
Cannot Fail!

Rest ... and Be Refreshed!
Cry .... but Don’t Deny, or you will Fry!

Jesus Christ 

- Lamb Of God ... Lion King, Judge, Jury and Executioner - 

For It All

AND

Experience Bites!

I am getting an education from Experience
A bitter Teacher who marks really hard
No marking on a curve
No essay questions I’ve observed
For the policy is Licks or Learn
Or You Lie and You Die and for The Burning You’re Held In Reserve!

I was having an itty-bitty problem with the Learn thing
When I started receiving real blows
Licks fell like rain
And the Answer became plain
But, Lord, my poor body in pain!

I, then, became Wise in my own Folly
Who could know me better than me
Until I was out playing Goosie Gander
And ended up catching Lice and Dog Fleas!

Oh, the shame, the shame, the horror
Of going back to School to face Experience, the Teacher, again
And I was in for a surprise when I said: “Experience lies!"
And Life gave me a Repeat Offender and Recalcitrant Pin!

My Shame Times Two, plus Ignorance and Follow You
Were prominent in my Class: Life Lesson Redo
But, I met Ask, Seek and Find
And ignored Look Behind
Baubles by Brain and Look Fine By Design, and
I BFF’d Prayer, Worship and God We Praise!

I linked-in Jesus Saves By His Own Sacrifice
After stumbling upon Grace and Mercy Nice
And blocked Sin Is Nice and Self-servicing Ain’t Close To a Vice
And hid shame-faced after being a rube broadcast live me on Eww-Tube!

I learned my lesson - it was hard!
To play with Death would make me a Card (carrying Fool, that is)
But I now know to Whom I belong
And I won’t be acting no more a World-Class Class-Clown!

I’ve pinned Holy Spirit, Heaven To Gain
I've Learned and I'm Saved
Walk Aright, and Don’t Misbehave!
With Righteousness I now run
And you can sing Hymn-a-ton
But I ain’t never no more from the Straight Path backing down!

Stock-Taking + Prayer: I Am Blessed

Father, I come before You as a supplicant, and a penitent, thankful for Grace,

pleading for Mercy, and hoping for Glory. 

Lord, I live in Your Light and walk not by my feeble sight. 

I am no longer a slave for my Jesus conquered Death and the grave. 

Sin can no longer trap me in its cave
because Jesus Christ's blood has marked me "Saved!" 

I am longing for Home and I know that I am not walking alone. 

You are my Lord and my God,
and I thank You for shielding me from the Old Fraud. 

I am Blessed - not lucky. 

I do not wish for anything for You taught me to fish, and You provide the catch, 

and these tears I cry are not for pie in the sky Lord, but hope for Heaven.

Please, Lord, round out my edges, 

and keep me in Your care when there be death ledges. 

Help me when I perform hard chores, and fill me with Your Love, Lord, to my very core.

And, Father, Help me not to believe the Lore, but to stand awaiting Your knock at my door. 

Amen

Letter Of Application: Father? Please Use Me!

The God Of All Graces
Court Of Heaven
Great Unknown

Re: Please Use ME!

Heavenly Father,

I offer to You my Prayers, and Grateful Praise in Worship!

Please allow me - by Grace - to boldly tell You, Father, why You should use me, for I am a reformed sinner, and a former denizen of the towns of Disrespect, Dancing On Disgrace, Denial of Self Is For Dummies, and of Life's Comforts' hamlet called Do Nothing That Is Called Good!!

I have a myriad years of wide, and varied, experience in Sinning, and have Earned and Penitential Certificates in Repentance, Confession, and Do and Be Good.

I have Associates Personal Knowledge Degrees in Would Have, Could Have, Should Have and Didn't, and many upgrade  and continuing education training units in Regrets, Lack of Self-Respect, Out Of Control, Intemperance, Worldly Wisdom and Buy A Clue.

The Love of God now constrains me BUT I have Exciting Life Experience in Doing The Wrong Thing, Guilty Pleasures, and Do What I Will Even If It Leaves Me Feeling Like Road-Kill.

You should also know that I was an Adrenaline Junkie, and always high on Life!

I have expert Knowledge in If I Ain't Lying I'm Dying.

I have eaten Thorough Vice, and have carried on an affair with What Is Life Without Spice, and I'm a past-master in Willful Self and Self-Deceit.

I wrote that No. 1 Best-selling book on Telling Cockamamie Stories, and I have personal and lengthy practice in Love Life on The Line. And, Father, to be painfully honest, Go Along To Get Along was a dear and true buddy of mine!

So, Father, please, won't use me?

Let Me be Your Instrument!

Use Me to point my familiar friend to The Golden Way, where Folly, Fame, Fancy, Fantasy, and Fortune are not fillips, and Foundation Stones of Truth mark out the Straight Path to Salvation Way.

Please know that Compensation is not an issue for me because I would work for free but The Lord, Jesus Christ, paid all my costs, and daily paves my Way.

I can do it, Father!

Please? Won't You use me?!

P.P.S.: - Mercy and Grace Helped Me Overcome The World!

I Have Taken A Lover

I have taken a lover - but I am selfish.

My lover speaks to me in calm, and soothing, whispers of his love and his hope for us to spend together, Eternity.

I hear the words.

I hear him speak of the things I will perceive, the things I will receive.

I like things, but - and - I am selfish.

My lover comes to me time after time, often and again.

We walk on lush and verdant carpet, in his country home beside quiet and gentle streams.

He speaks to me of gifts, of beauty, of Love, of his willingness to sacrifice for me.

I hear the words, but I am selfish.

Today, he wants to hear my voice. He wants kind words, even a word, singing praise.

He wants to see my face in the light of his love.

He touches my head, and my bosom, and his arms enfold me.

My heart is startled, and words as prayers, of Love, of adoration, hope, glory, Love, home, Love, the light, my sight, my heart, His help, of Love at home, no loss, never alone, pour forth.

I have, heretofore, not known LOVE!

He LOVES Me!

He LOVES Me bodily!

His LOVE consumes my heart for He LOVES my very Soul!

No longer am I selfish!

Realization dawns.

It's not the gifts.

I want HIM!

In my bosom is His LOVE to Me expressed.

In my head, and through my heart, by voice, is my love for Him confessed.

My head, propelled by His Heart, is thrown back in ecstasy.

I truly see Him as He is!

I am no longer tethered to time.

I am ... I have left mortality behind.

I know now, for sure, that this time, this Lover of mine, is True LOVE, and Divine.

This LOVE will last
For it is cast
In beautiful and beneficial blood
Bound by brutality
Cornered by carnality
But blessed with bounty and belief
In Christ's proficiency
In denying the Devil his dance of destruction upon me
A child of chance
Begotten in wild romance
Crazy by circumstance
Now LOVED in permanence
And awaiting the arrival of
The Cloudy Coach and Caravan
Propelled by Wings and Wonders
Wonderfully wheeling and whizzing
Captivating and calling
Colorful
Justly joyous
With golden crowns
Glorious garments
Smiles and laughter
Saints singing in satisfaction, and ME
Along
In the midst
Of the throng
Voicing glad, and prayerful, song.

My LOVER - The LORD!

We are alone, together, in One Accord.

We belong.

We are alone
Together - finally and forever
In His heavenly
Heavenly Home.

One question.

Why did I wait so long to Commit to be to Him a bride, walking side by side, earth and hell denied?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Painting Jesus

I am painting a picture of Jesus
I am using brush strokes little but big
I am painting great swathes of color
With a palette knife broad but a twig

There is a touch of black that is bright red
There is a touch of green that is the mustard of grief
There is a touch of yellow that is heavenly sunshine
And a bit of gold that is faith and relief

My painting has infinite borders
The mountains so high are really low
The rivers that flow are solid crystal
That refresh and give life but not cold

The meadows soft green are body comforting
The central tree a death cross that brings life
The main road the only road to the town of Crucifixion
That pass through  hamlets of Trouble, Oppression and Strife

And, now, the piece de resistance:

The central figure of my personal painting is the King
Jesus Christ - Immanuel
The hair on his head is as white wool
The eyes are filled with compassion
As deep as infinite time mixed with moon and
Multiplied with sun and stars shining with fire bright light

The brow is high and marred, dignified and royal
The cheeks are stately offering space for a touch from this child
The mouth is tilted up, firm, strong, gentle
With a shape called Word Everlasting
The nose makes the face look, well, like a face
All in all, the face itself is not even close to comely to the worldly eye
But its depth of presence draws one in, pace by pace

Try all I will, I can't paint Eternal Peace
I can't paint Burden for the Human Soul
I can't paint Depth of Divine Sacrifice
I can't paint Essence of The Holy God
I can't paint Sold For Thirty - Betrayed By My Familiar Friend
I can't paint Sin of All Ages burned into His Human God Being
I can paint what it personally means to accept His Gracious Offering
But I can't paint what it means "Heaven's the Goal!"

I've changed my mind - I no longer need a canvas
To place a picture of my Jesus - perpetual - upon
I will just read my Bible - John 3:16
And walk around each and every day singing Redemption's song
For God IS LOVE!

Mine, mine, mine

Jesus is mine

Today, every day

I might die - but one great day

The trumpet will sound

I'll put off the mortal night's gown

And will wing my way - I'll be immortal - to Jesus

With the Heaven-bound throng!

My Heart Is Glad!

These dingy walls are sparkling
These cloudy windows bright light shines through
These broken floors are firm solid
 And my empty plate holds good food.

My broken heart is happy
My broken body doesn't swell
My blind eyes see, and I am comforted
Though, for me, They are sounding the death knell.

Don't cry for me - I am happy!
Don't cry for me - My heart is glad!
Sing joyously, oh, Hallelujah!
The King has arrived, and golden crown clad.

He is here, I am His - They can't hurt me!
He is here, and I am clad in peace, joy, and Love
That fit me like true custom gloves
And Rest is - here - on the Wings of the Dove!
