There was a Knock on My Door! I Opened it! My Visitor Asked: "May I Enter?" I said: "Sure! Welcome! Come on in!" I Offered Him The Place of Honor! He Looked Right Regal There! He Offered Up A Prayer of Blessing AND Proceeded To Teach Me About Godly Fear! He Expounded On Faith Hope Trust Mercy Glory and Grace! He Spoke Urgently of Sin Confession Repentance Salvation AND Setting Aside Ungodly Sinful Lusts! He Spoke of The Father The Mansions of Rest AND He Called Me Blessed AND Treated Me To Words of Hope To Hold Me Up Until The Day When New Life Is Mine For Keeping The Blessed Hope! He Said: "I Love You!" I Told Him I Loved him, Too! He Asked If His Spirit Could Move In and I said: "Yes! I Have Room For Him!" He Told Me To Let His Spirit Keep His Place Safe and Comfortable and Warmly Lit For He Had Some Others To Visit Those My brothers and Sisters From Other Flocks Of Lambs and Sheep Out in The World Forlorn! I said: "Blessings! I'll Stay Here AND By Your Grace I'll Your Love Be Professing To All and The Sundry The Poor The Peaceful The Proud! I'll Sing Your Praises! I Will Sing Out Loud!" He said: "Let My Spirit In You Hold Sway For He Will Lead You Guide You and Interpret Your Every Prayer! I Am Your Holy Shepherd Gentle Kind Loving AND Just as I Am You Be To The Brethren AND One Day Soon We Will In Glorious Reunion Meet!" My Sleep That Night Was Beautifully Sweet!
I Don't Know You But I Could If You Would ....! I Don't Like You But I Could If You Would ....! I Don't See You But I Could If You Would ....! I Don't Care About You But I Could If You Would ....! I Would Love You But I Don't ...! I Would Need You But I Can't ...! I Would Trust You But I Don't ...! I Love You But I Don't ...! I Love You But I Can't ...! I Love You But I Shan't ...! I Need You But I Can't ...! I Treasure You But Money ...!
And So The "STORY" Goes .... I Would If I Could! I Should But I Can't! I Live By A Lamp But Oil Futures Are Scant! An Excuse? Of Course! Finance Is King! Anything Less Is Heart ... Breaking! UNTIL ... THAT GREAT DAY I Met The Man Who Loves Me - LOTS! He Knew Me! He Drew Me! By Way Of Language He's a Polyglot! We Met! Our Hands Touched! He Gave Me His All! He Asked Of Me Naught! His Heart Was All Mine! His Love? Oh, So Divine! Before We Consecrated Love He Showed Me Hope On The Wings Of The Dove And My Heart Did Yearn For My Love Of Him To Learn That Sacrificial Love IS Love Returned Returned Though Oft' Cruelly,Cruelly Spurned!
Once Upon A Time The Earth Was The Lord's AND The Fullness Thereof! BUT With The Passage Of The Years AND The Education Of The Bright and Brilliant Those All-knowing New Seers The Earth Is God AND Almighty God IS A Fraud! Once Upon A Time Even As Child While At Church Service Offering Praise It Was Stated As Normal: "Let Us Pray!" Meaning Let Us Pray To God Our Maker Creator of Heaven The Earth The Sky The Wind The Trees! He Who Made Elephants Mosquitoes Mankind Fish, and Even Beneficial Bacteria, and Fleas! NOW ... Altogether ... In This Time We Have No Creator AND Creation Is A Craze For Earth IS Our Mother Who Gratefully Gladly Receives Human Care AND Worshipful Prayers Even Unto Pouring Her A Libation AND Ridding Her Of Her Burdensome Load Of People Made In The Image Of That Inconvenient Glory Hog Whose Desire Is For Pure Worship AND Whose Command Is To Love The Holy God With Your Might AND Your Neighbor As Your Own Self Has Proved Himself A Crass Inconvenience AND Has Been Justifiably Relegated To The Scrapheap Of Old Housewife's Reliance AND Is Now DISCARDED To The Irrelevant Unnecessary Useless Contrivance Unwashed Masses' Need For A Sky-God Shelf! ... Let Us Pray?! Oh! You Mean Let Us Stare! ... Let Us Worship And Bow Down Before God Our Maker?! No! That Is Old School!! We Now Say: Let Us Fallow Earth Mother Of The Special and The Called Eliminating Her Unnecessary Stresses And Remaking In Illumination's Pretty Visage The Blue Ball For The Chosen and Assuredly The Wise! ... Let Us Kneel ...?! Let Us Keel Haul Our Mother's Barnacles! Let Us Filter Out All The Substrate! Let Us With Vigor Bordering On Religion Our Mother Elevate And, Instead Truly Push Nipple Hate! Mother Earth - The God Of The Sages! Mother Earth - Created By The Irrelevant God Needs Protection For Her Reputed Not-Proved Maker Is Guilty Of Dereliction So The Brightly Brilliant Are Her Self-appointed Surrogate Protector Man-Gods!
A Pity!
A Pity! - The Deception!
Almighty God - The Irrelevancy
Who
By His Own Creation
Is Found To No More Be Necessary!

The Lord Blessed Me With Life! Sin Cursed Me With Strife! The Lord Blesses Me With Hope! Sin Curses Me With Reasons Not To Cope! The Lord Leads Me Along The Narrow Way! Sin Stalks Me Encouraging Me From The Way To Stray! The Lord IS My Light! Sin Needles Me To Trust My Eyesight! The Lord Says He Has Made A Home Far Away! Sin Says Forget Home! Let's Play and Be Gay! The Lord Gives Me Grace To In The Battle Stand! Sin Touts The Party And Hot Happenings Band! The Lord Encourages Me In My Walk With Kingdom Talk! Sin Sets Out Challenges To Make Me Balk In My Walk! The Lord Says:
"Come Unto Me!
All Your Needs Will Be Met! "
Sin Says:
"Forget Needs!
It's The Wants! Fret! Fret!"
I Got Out My Scale The One Provided By Mercy and Grace AND It Was So Used and Battered That In The Polished Shine I Could See My Happy Sad Needy Greedy Sorrowful Hopeful Seeking God Found Jesus Face! In That Polished Scale Mirror Stood A Bright Spot - Blood Red Next To A Living Lamb Most Assuredly Having Been Bled Dead BUT Pointing To Himself AND Calling Himself The Eternal Son of Man AND Calling To Himself All The Sons of Fallen Man! The Appeal Is Quite Gentle! The Caller Gentle ... Real! The Offer Salvation Hope Eternal AND No More Separating Veil! I Made My Decision! My Decision Was Is Uncoerced! But, Oh, Lord Almighty Sin Is Standing At The Ready - Blowing Up In My Face!

Her Advent came by Rape! Her? Her Mother Did Hate! She Did Not Know Her Ultimate Fate But Thankfully, Each day No Matter How Little or Late Her Mother Fed Her And She Gratefully Ate! She Spoke of A Life Sorely Lacking In Love! She Did Not Cry Nor Lament For The Unloving Mother Taught Her of The Living Holy God's Eternal Love! Strange - This Combination! The Unloving Teaching The Unloved of God's Love But This Jagged Circle Pointed To Jesus Christ ... and His Eternal Love And Heavenly Rest Up Above! In The Midst of The Muck That Man Calls His Life Is A Lily of Such Beauty That One Asks: "How Come?!" For Muck is Really Muddy And Muddy Water Is Really Unclean Yet
"Lily, Oh, Lily
Thy White Is Beautifully Pristine!"
The Bullied The Bothered The Hapless Lacking Hope All Know That - Even in War White is The Eternal Symbol for Hope And All That Walk Under That Banner So Clean Know With A Certainly That Their Freedom Is Keenly Seen! Jesus Christ IS The White Lily! The Visible Symbol for Hope! Looking Unto Jesus Sinner Savage All Through Jesus Will Cope With The "Accident" Called Birth The Circumstance Called Living Life And The Situations in Daily Living's Strife! All Will Survive Their "Humiliations" IF ... IF ... Jesus Christ IS The Leader of Their Life! Rapes! Denigrations! Whoredoms And Idolatries! All Will be Fixed By Faith in The White Lily Who Is The Bright and Morning Star Who Left The Kingdom of His Light To Bring Give Hope To a Fallen People On a Far Distant Shore Where Life is Oft' Bogged Down Where Friendship is Oft' Silver-Coined Death Where Creatures Killed Creator Where Seeking Hungry Souls Can Be Filled Where The Fullness of Time was Fulfilled Where Time Himself called "Time!" Where The Sacrifice of Innocent for Guilty Was Executed by The Guilty of Gross Sin! BUT Where, Also Despite The Downside Of Denials There is The Upside The Upside Called Hope! There Is Hope for All Who Believe That That White Lily Standing Out Over In The Dirty Dirt IS The Answer The Means Whereby Sinking Ships Overladen Anchored Heavily By Sin Can By The Belief and Faith Offering Rise Up and Gallant Float!
I Live and I Breathe! I Off-gas and I Sneeze! With The Right Stimulus I Might Even Laugh Until I Wheeze! I May Even Think That I Can Do What I Please BUT ... I Am Christian So I Go To God Heart Bowed - Asking for "Help!" If He Doth Please! No Need for Groveling Nor Lying Promises To Urge His Relief For He IS Truth AND He Can Me Renew For He IS Faithful, and His Words Are True! Only The God of All Grace Can Look At The Vile Sinner And Say:
