Like Honey ~
I hear all kinds of evil,
things spoken and said
but, I don’t let them . . .
into my heart or head.
Instead I read my Bible,
daily the Word I study
for the grace of Jesus
to me is just like honey.
Its sweetness is pure,
it comforts and soothes
closer to God my soul
it motivates and moves.
I hear all sorts of words,
that are meant to offend
but, my faith in Jesus
I will always defend.
For, like a bee to a hive,
to Him I am drawn . . .
His words of hope and peace
I’d much rather dwell upon!
~~~~~~~
Gracious words
are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul
and health to the body.
Great peace have they which
love thy law: and nothing
shall offend them.

Keep Me Humble Lord~
Humble me Lord,
into submission
prepare my heart
for the transition.
Take away the pride,
still inside of me
so more like You
I can meekly be.
Humble me Lord,
remove my smug ego
so my self-assurance
I can at last forgo.
Teach me to have,
modest obedience
so I can pledge to you
my full allegiance.
Keep me humble Lord,
so I may bring You honor
keep my spirit meek . . .
so my pride I can conquer!
~~~~~~~~~~
A man’s pride
shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold
the humble in spirit.

Repentant Tears ~
Repentant tears,
begin to fall . . .
as soon as one
hears the call.
From the Spirit,
of the Holy One
who gave His life
for everyone.
Down somewhere,
in the heart deep
a soul can’t help
but to sob and weep.
For once it encounters,
Jesus’ love and grace
tears flow thankfully
down it’s grateful face.
Repentant tears,
never stop falling
for they always hear
repentance calling!
~~~~~~~
The Lord is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of
a contrite spirit.

A New Life In Christ~
A new life in Christ,
works needed no more
now grace and love
opens heaven’s door.
For all things old,
no longer acceptable
once Jesus became . . .
our sin’s receptacle.
A new life in Christ,
death to the law
no longer under
it’s working claw.
For Jesus died,
to set us all free
so under bondage
we’d no longer be.
A new life if Christ,
a matter of the heart
a gift to each of us . . .
only God can impart!
~~~~~~~~~~
For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not
of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.

God, My Patience ~
God, my Patience,
my Stamina, My Fortitude
my heart for You . . .
is filled with deep gratitude.
For Your mercy gives me,
the willpower to run
each day the faithful race
so that it can be won.
God, My Endurance,
my Strength, my Tenacity
Your power gives me
resilience and vitality.
For You bring into my life,
the faith to trust in You
regardless of the situations
You may have me go through.
God, my Patience,
my Calm, my Perseverance
may You find me faithful . . .
upon Your reappearance!
~~~~~~~~~~
But if we hope
for that we see not,
then do we with patience
wait for it.
For ye have need of patience,
that, after ye have done the
will of God, ye might receive
the promise.

Totally Surrendered ~
Totally surrendered,
God wants it all
all that you have
nothing is too small.
You need to give Him,
all of your heart
He wants the whole of it
not just a tiny part.
Totally surrendered,
God wants to see
how much you want
like Jesus to be.
You need to submit,
to His perfect will
you must be willing
to wait and be still.
Totally surrendered,
God wants to know
how much you want
in Him to grow.
You have to let go,
of your selfish desires
you must be ready
for all He requires.
Totally surrendered,
God wants all of you
but you must want . . .
all of Him too!
~~~~~~~
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.”

Unto God ~
Unto God,
we’re set apart
each of us
to do our part.
Some be a sower,
others to water
some are reapers . . .
and harvest spotters.
Unto God,
we are to gather
sheep for His fold
wherever scattered.
Some to go out,
some to stay home
but all looking to return
those on the roam.
Unto God,
we’re set apart
so in the harvest
we can all take part!
~~~~
But know that the Lord hath
set apart him that is godly
for himself:

Spiritual Temperature ~
We all need to take,
our spiritual temperature
we all need to see . . .
daily how it registers.
For the sin of lukewarmness,
lies dormant in all of us
we only first notice it
as it tempers in God our trust.
We all need to check,
out spiritual thermometer
we all need to record . . .
when our faith is lackluster.
For the disease of apathy,
makes our faith listless
and to God we are seen
as complacently spiritless.
We all need to watch,
our spiritual attitude . . .
lest out of God’s mouth
in the end we are spewed!
~~~~~~~~~~
I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.

God Loves You Just As You Are ~
God loves you,
just as you are . . .
each major blemish
every minor scar.
He is aware,
of the battles you fight
He sees the tears
you cry in the night.
God loves you,
He knows your pain
He sees your struggle
is not fought in vain.
He is mindful,
of how you’re feeling
He knows your wounds
are in need of healing.
God loves you,
just as you are . . .
He’s perfecting you
with each little scar!
~~~~~~~
“The Lord will perfect
that which concerns me.
thy mercy, O Lord,
endureth for ever:
forsake not the works
of thine own hands.”

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

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!~~~~~~~

he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
