Be A Contender ~

Lord, let me be a contender,
a competitor in the race
so I may be a testament
of Your life-saving grace.

Help me to finish well,
so the prize I can earn
by guiding me around
each bend, every turn.

Let me be a front-runner,
to living a life sinless
so I may be for You
everyday a witness.

If You should ever see me,
fall off the narrow track
I pray You will quickly
guide me to You back.

Lord, let me be a contender,
one who runs with dignity
let me be a champion
of love and charity!

~~~~~~~~

Jude 1:3

Beloved, when I gave all diligence
to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to
write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered
unto the saints.

To Walk In The Spirit ~

Walking in the Spirit,
is not so easy to do
especially when you know
the world’s watching you.

For the lusts of the flesh,
must not be satisfied
for we know with Jesus

Holy Spirit walking,
takes His guidance
lest we fall under
the world’s influence.

For our natural nature,
can be easily mislead
unless we are willing
to be Holy Spirit lead.

To walk in the Spirit,
takes one step at a time
so that with God’s will
our own will align!

Fruit Of Our Faith ~

Within each of us,
the Holy Spirit resides . . .

needs to be daily applied.

Then we’ll be loving,
in all things we’ll have peace
and our joy and happiness
will be natural to release.

To have God like patience,
we must learn to be kind
then gentleness will flow
from our hearts and minds.

We need to let humility,
guide us to being meek
by not forgetting His power
each day we must seek.

The Holy Spirit abides
in every one of us . . .
and to produce much fruit
in Jesus we need to trust!

The Seeds Your Are Sowing ~

Some scatter seeds of anxiety,

some collect in their memory
the reason for all their tears.

Some spread seeds of distrust,

some gather up their losses
shutting all their blessings out.

Some cast seeds of excess,
and reap in what they sow
some collect worldly pleasures
thinking God will never know.

Some throw seeds of greed,
and collect envy and pride
some lose their hope and faith
when their will with God’s collide.

Some scatter seeds of doubt,
and harvest nothing but fear
but those who mock not God
sow the seeds of repentant tears!

As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, except it abide
in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.

A Purposeful Plan ~

A purposeful plan,
in Christ centered
once into the world
Jesus entered.

A pattern for us,
on how we’re to live
one that teaches us how
to love and forgive.

A life reflecting,
His grace and goodwill
one desiring knowing
and doing God’s will.

A spiritual walk,
in every one of His ways
willing to be Spirit led
for the rest of our days.

A life filled with purpose,
like Jesus we’re to be
so that His Spirit in us
others would too see!

1 John 2:6

He that saith he abideth
in him ought himself also
so to walk, even as he walked.

God’s Purpose For Us ~

God’s purpose for us,
is for our eternal good
His plans for us . . .
is to do as He would.

For He wants to give,
our life a new meaning
so that on His power
we may start leaning.

God wants us to grow,
our faith each day
so we may follow
the Truth filled Way.

For we cannot do,
without Him anything
unless we know
about Him everything.

God’s purpose for us,
is His will to pursue
His plan is to let Jesus . . .
show us just how to!

Ephesians 3:11

According to the eternal
purpose which he purposed
