Sparkling Gemstones ~
Sparkling gemstones,
rubies of love . . .
are the brilliant mercies
God sends from above.
Golden nuggets,
a gift of eternal life
pearls of Wisdom
to end earthly strife.
Diamonds of grace,
daily dispersed
from the heart of Jesus
like a glorious sunburst.
Emeralds of hope,
shine of His light
eyes glistening of
a heavenly sight.
Sparkling gemstones,
multidimensional . . .
God’s salvation plan
to all is accessible!
~~~~~~~~
For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not
of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:

None But The Brave ~
None but the dauntless,
the bold and the brave
will be to fear . . .
its victim or slave.
For they know God,
goes where they go
no matter which way
the winds may blow.
None but the powerful,
the robust and strong
will be to dread . . .
led or steered wrong.
For they know Jesus,
will forsake them not
no matter the gusts
that may come about.
None but the courageous,
the strong and the bold
will let fear and dread . . .
take on their heart a hold!
~~~~~~~~
Be strong and of a good courage,
fear not, nor be afraid of them:
for the Lord thy God, he it is that
doth go with thee; he will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.

Keep Me Steadfast ~
Lord, keep me steadfast,
in my pursuit to abide in Thee
keep my heart faithful
so Your love will dwell in me.
Lord, keep me patient,
in my quest to walk like Thee
keep my feet established
so Your Spirit can lead me.
Lord, keep me faithful,
in my search to become like Thee
keep my branches trimmed
so Your fruit will mature in me.
Lord, keep me loyal,
in my endeavor to follow Thee
keep my mind established
so Your peace will be seen in me.
Lord, keep me steadfast,
so my works will glorify Thee
keep my faith abounding
so Your Spirit can encourage me!
~~~~~
Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work
of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not
in vain in the Lord.

Establishing My Faith~
Establishing my faith,
pressing closer into . . .
the higher calling
found Jesus in You.
Gaining a perception,
of godly discernment
giving understanding
my full commitment.
Striving for perfection,
growing spiritually
working out my faith
uncompromisingly.
Holding on to my hope,
trusting You for all things
letting Your Word
pull on my heart strings.
Establishing my faith,
going for the goal . . .
the hope of Your glory
propelling my soul!
~~~~~~~~~~
To whom God would make
known what is the riches of
the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory:
Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended: but this
one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things
which are before,
I press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus.

Knowing And Believing ~
I know and believe,
God loves me . . .
that is why my eyes
are open to see.
See how His mercy,
comes alive each day
see how His Word
will show me the way.
I know and believe,
Jesus lives in me . . .
tis why I trust Him
in what I can’t see.
See how His grace,
in me keeps growing
see how He is worth
my closer knowing.
I know and believe,
God dwells in me . . .
as more of His image
I’m able to see!
~~~~~~~~
And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
