Today’s Supply of Mercy ~
Lord, a new day has come,
another one for me to face
and I know I can’t make it
without Your love and grace.
I’ll too need Your mercy,
if I am to stay strong
and please will You send me
some joy to take along.
But mostly give me peace,
through the course of day
so I can keep worry
doubt and fear at bay.
And while You are at it,
there is one more thing
I need hope regardless
of what today may bring.
Lord, a new day has come,
one now I’m ready to face . . .
because I know I’m supplied
with Your mercy, love and grace!
~~~~~~~~
“It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.”

Disappointments ~
Disappointments come,
into every one’s life . . .
some we can push aside
others cause inside strife.
They have many shapes,
but, with the same face
for, hopelessness knows
it’s all about the chase.
They can poke around,
or hit straight in the gut
for, depression only wants
you wallowing in its rut.
They come in many forms,
but, with the same attitude
making singing the blues
almost impossible to elude.
Into every one’s life,
comes disappointment . . .
but, I have found God’s Word
to be failure’s curing ointment!
~~~~~~~~~
O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted
within me?
hope in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.”

I’ve Got This Inkling ~
Oh, Lord I’m waiting,
for that glorious day
when You will return
to take our pain away.
I am anticipating,
that trumpet blowing
to see no more tears
from our eyes flowing.
Oh, Lord I’m ready,
for no more sorrow
I am anxious to see
our new tomorrow.
I am expecting,
to witness the passing
of the former things
that were never lasting.
Oh, Lord I am waiting,
I’ve got this inkling
that very soon . . .
I’ll see that twinkling!
~~~~~~
“And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain:
for the former things
are passed away.”
~~~~
“In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.”

Today Is Your Day Lord ~
Today is Your day Lord,
I give it to You
to do in my life
what only You can do.
I give You my mind,
to mold and to form
so You can keep it
from turning lukewarm.
I give You my heart,
to shape and contour
so You can remove
all that is impure.
I give you my soul,
to have and to own
so it can be made
Your very own home.
Today is Your day Lord,
may all that I do . . .
show my commitment
and my love for You!

unto the Lord,
and thy thoughts
shall be established.”

What Will I Lose ~
I asked the Lord,
what will be my loss
if I daily . . .
picked up my cross.
He said to me,
here’s what it requires
but first you must die
to all selfish-desires.
All your dreams,
ideas and plans
must be placed now
into My hands.
Then you will need,
to follow Me
so I can lead you
to where you should be.
All your possessions,
all that you own
you must leave behind
yes, even your home.
You must give up,
family and friends
your bank accounts
and stock dividends.
I asked the Lord,
what will be my loss . . .
YOUR VERY LIFE He said
if you don’t pick up your cross!
~~~~~~~~~
” For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?”

God Sees All ~
God sees everything,
there’s nothing hidden
He sees every person
who is sin driven.
He sees the wicked,
the trouble they cause
He sees from boasting
they never take a pause.
He sees the ungodly,
set up their snare
He sees their hatred
erupt and flare.
He sees the sinful,
devise evil demands
He sees they follow
satan’s commands.
God sees the unrighteous,
their evil, dark ways
He sees their future . . .
come judgment day!
~~~~~~~
” He hath said in his heart,
God hath forgotten:
he hideth his face;
he will never see it.
Arise, O Lord; O God,
lift up thine hand:
forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked
contemn God? he hath said
in his heart, Thou wilt
not require it.
Thou hast seen it; for thou
beholdest mischief and spite,
to requite it with thy hand:
the poor committeth himself
unto thee; thou art the
helper of the fatherless.”

My One and Only Selfie ~
The only selfie,
I am going to take
is when I go through
the straight gate.
I can’t wait to see,
how I will look
when I see my name
written in the book.
I know I’ll be beaming,
from the light of the Son
as the picture will show
the good race I’ve won.
It will be a photo,
of glory and rewards
one that I’m looking
ever anxiously towards.
The only selfie,
I will ever take . . .
is standing with Jesus
at the straight gate!
~~~~~
“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.”

Heavenly Gifts ~
Heavenly gifts,
from my Father above
wrapped in His goodness
tied up with His love.
So many blessings,
to me He sends
when on His Spirit
my life depends.
Heavenly gifts,
from my Father to me
so the truth and way
I will always see.
Longing to give,
eager to impart
power and might
right into my heart.
Heavenly gifts,
my Father sends my way
His spiritual fruit . . .
for me to grow each day!
~~~~~~~~
“If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts
unto your children: how much
more shall your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit
to them that ask 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
