For Our Own Good ~
God is at work in us,
He knows what’s good
He knows whether
we’ll do as we should.
He is in control,
over all things right
He knows whether
we’ll follow His light.
For our own good,
God’s working in us
He knows whether
we’ll doubt or trust.
He has a purpose,
each day for our life
He knows whether
it’ll bring joy or strife.
God is at work in us,
for what’s good and right
and those who love Him
do so, with all their might!
~~~~~~
“And we know that all things
work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose.”

A Better Day Is Coming ~
A better day is coming,
happier times will be here
for soon Jesus will return
and wipe away every tear.
A brighter day is coming,
joyful times will be here
for soon Jesus will return
and eliminate every fear.
A glorious day is coming,
peaceful times will be here
for soon Jesus will return
and all pain will disappear.
A splendid day is coming,
blissful times will be here
for soon Jesus will return
and no crying will we hear.
A better day is coming,
joyous times will be here
for soon Jesus will return
and that day is clearly near!
~~~~~
“He will wipe away every tear
from their eyes, and death
shall be no more, neither
shall there be mourning,
nor crying, nor pain anymore,
for the former things
have passed away.”

My Debt Reliever ~
Jesus is my stress reliever,
my care and burden taker
Jesus is my worry quieter
my perfect peace maker.
Jesus is my pain reliever,
my hurt and grief easer
Jesus is my spirit lifter
my heavy heart stiller.
Jesus is my doubt reliever,
my fear and qualm calmer
Jesus is my hope installer
my anxiety tranquilizer.
Jesus is my wound reliever,
my emotional scar healer
Jesus is my soul redeemer
my eternal life sealer.
Jesus is my grudge reliever,
my envy and ego remover
Jesus is my pride eliminator
my depraved mind restorer.
Jesus is my debt reliever,
my sin and shame freer
Jesus is my guilt eraser
my heart and soul saver!

saith the Lord: though your sins be
as scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Spiritual Inventory ~
I’m taking inventory,
of my spiritual progress
going to be weighing
my increase, my digress.
Going to take stock,
to see if I’ve grown
going to be looking for
the gifts I’ve blown.
I’m going to catalog,
how much fruit I’ve got
going to see if its usable
or if its starting to rot.
Going to be searching,
down deep into my soul
see if I’m warehousing
any areas I still control.
I’m taking inventory,
doing me some stock taking
because one day to God . . .
I’ll be giving an accounting!
~~~~~~~~~
“So then every one of us
shall give account of himself
to God.”

Drifting Away ~
Feel like your drifting,
pulling away . . .
feel like your paddling
making no headway?
Setbacks and defeat,
sinking you down
feel as if you’ll never
find safe, solid ground?
Loss of your focus,
has your spirit adrift
feel like your drowning
with each emotional shift.
Worry and anxiety,
floating in your head
fear and doubt
causing you dread?
Feel like your drifting,
hope slipping away . . .
then you need to let Jesus
be your anchor each day!
~~~~~~~~~~
“Which hope we have
as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and stedfast,
and which entereth into
that within the veil;”

Trust God ~
Trust God,
when you hurt
let His grace
your pain divert.
Trust God,
when you’re weak
with all your heart
His mercy seek.
Trust God,
when you’re tired
until His peace
is acquired.
Trust God,
when you’re anxious
let your mind
be His canvass.
Trust God when,
you don’t want to
and His love . . .
will make things new!
~~~~~~~
“Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine
own understanding.”

I’m Ditching This Boat ~
Today, on water I’m walking,
I’m gonna ditch this boat
and on the Word of God
my feet are going to float.
Today, I am going to do,
what is seemly impossible
because I deeply believe
with God, all is truly possible.
Today, I’m stepping out in faith,
so that Jesus I can meet
I’m going to let God’s Word
lift the sole’s of my feet.
Today, I’m going to heed,
Jesus commands to me
today, is the day . . .
I am walking on this sea.
Today, I’m throwing my legs,
right over this boat’s side
and in faith, on the water
my feet are going to glide!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And Peter answered him and said,
Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come. And when Peter
was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.”

Summer Love ~
I love the summer’s rays,
shinning from the sun
the warmth of laughter
with children having fun.
I love summer’s breezes,
gently drifting in the air
the sounds of pure delight
when the weather is fair.
I love summer’s laziness,
the strolls down the lane
the sound of peacefulness
upon summer’s gentle rain.
I love summer’s smells,
fragrant with memories
the happy thoughts wafting
of BBQ’s , friends and families.
I love summertime,
it’s smells, sights, its sounds
I love that God blesses me
when summer comes around!
~~~~~~~~~~
“This is the day which
the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and
be glad in it.”

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
