Guilty Sinners ~
Guilty sinners,
deserving disgrace
instead are saved
by Jesus’ grace.
Worthy of hell,
its perishing heat
instead their Savior
in heaven will meet.
Guilty sinners,
not meriting favor
instead eternity
they will savor.
Worthy of humiliation,
for their sin
instead the crown of life
they will win.
Guilty sinners,
saved by Jesus’ grace
for He was cursed
in their place!
~~~~~~
“For all have sinned,
and come short of
the glory of God;”
“Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us: for it
is written,
Cursed is every one
that hangeth on a tree:”

A Life Willing ~
Lord give me a life,
full of only You
with a faith
through Your view.
Let the Holy Spirit,
do all the leading
so I may be to You
faithfully pleasing.
Lord give me a heart,
that is always willing
to be compassionate
merciful and giving.
Let me not live a life,
stubbornly self-centered
but one that is to You
steadfastly surrendered.
Lord, give me a life,
eager to do Your will
a heart empty of me
so Your love it can fill!
~~~~~~~~
“His lord said unto him, Well done,
thou good and faithful servant:
thou hast been faithful over a
few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter
thou into the joy of thy lord.”

God’s Daily Benefits ~
Every hour,
of every day
God blesses us
in every way.
He never ceases,
to give us love
nor to send
mercy from above.
Every season,
of every year
God reminds us
He’s ever near.
He never stops,
providing us
with the rewards
of faith and trust.
Every second,
of every minute
from God’s kindness
we daily benefit!
~~~~~~~
“Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us
with benefits, even the
God of our salvation.”

When Feeling Restless ~
When you are restless,
feeling uneasy
when your faith starts going
from strong to measly.
That is when you will need,
to surrender your unrest
to a God who is waiting
to give you perfect rest.
When you feel anxious,
and nervous are your thoughts
when fear starts to churn
your stomach into knots.
That is when you will need,
your heart and mind to adjust
in a God who is able
to strengthen your hope and trust.
When anxiousness comes,
making you feel restless
ask God to bring to you
His peace that is endless!
~~~~~~~~
“Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.”

Never Forgotten ~
When your friends,
have moved on . . .
and your family
is all but gone.
Know you have,
a Friend around
one who’ll never
let you down.
When You find,
yourself all alone
sitting in . . .
your lonesome home.
Know there is someone,
who’ll never leave
and onto Him
you can always cleave.
When you feel as if,
you’ve been deserted
and with thought’s lonely
you’re being bombarded.
Know that you are,
never truly forgotten
for, Jesus forsakes not
those downtrodden!
~~~~~~~
“A man that hath friends must
shew himself friendly: and there
is a friend that sticketh closer
than a brother.”

Tip-Toe Faith ~
God has taken me,
into valley’s low and deep
with obstacles so hard
all I wanted to do was weep.
But instead I found,
what true trust was about
as I learned to give Jesus
all my fears and doubt.
God has placed me,
high on mountain tops
with many challenges
that made me want to stop.
But instead He showed me,
what true hope was about
once I found to Jesus
I could always reach out.
God has brought me through,
many highs and lows
to show me true faith
isn’t walked on tip-toes!
~~~~~~~
“Thou hast enlarged
my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.”

After God’s Own Heart ~
I want to have a heart,
after God’s own heart
so that into it . . .
His mercy He’ll impart.
I want to be humble,
reverent and respectful
I want to be for my sins
repentant and regretful.
I want to be trusting,
fearless and faithful
I want to be obedient
thankful and grateful.
I want to be considerate,
loving and compassionate
I want to be devoted
fervent and passionate.
I want a heart like David’s,
one willing to go and do
anything that God asks . . .
I want to be loyal and true!
~~~~~~~
“And when he had removed him,
he raised up unto them David
to be their king; to whom also
he gave their testimony, and said,
I have found David the son of Jesse,
a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfil all my will.”

God’s Hand Is Not To Short ~
The hand of God,
is not too short
His plans no man
can ever thwart.
They are powerful,
they are strong
they can make right
all that is wrong.
The hand of God,
can pluck and save
those who are to sin
its worldly slave.
They are freeing,
they are liberating
they can bring change
that is life-saving.
The hand of God,
reaches wide and far
He can touch you
right where you are!
~~~~~~~~
“Behold, the Lord’s hand
is not shortened,
that it cannot save;”

The Perfect Peace of Jesus ~
In all things,
you can seek and receive
God’s quiet calm
if you trust and believe.
All you need to do,
is to ask
and in Jesus’ peace
you will bask.
In every way,
you can find
peace for both
heart and mind.
All you have to do,
is to pray
and Jesus’ peace
He’ll send your way.
It doesn’t matter,
where you are
Jesus’ perfect peace
is never very far!
~~~~~~~
“Now the Lord of peace himself
give you peace always
by all means.
The Lord be with you all.”

Stay In Love With God ~
Stay in love with God,
do not run off
at Jesus’ grace
do not mock or scoff.
Stay enthralled with God,
pray to Him each day
ask Him to lead you
on the righteous way.
Stay in touch with God,
read the Word He’s given
so that it will remind you
just why you are forgiven.
Stay smitten with God,
let Him hear your praise
keep your worship for Him
searing and ablaze.
Stay in love with God,
don’t let worldly strife
keep you from having . . .
with Jesus eternal life!
~~~~~~~~
“And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbour as thyself.”

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!~~~~~~~

"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
