Bearing Good Fruits ~

Faith that is voiced,
faith that is shared
is a faith that knows
good fruit it’s to bear.

Faith that is productive,
faith that is fruitful
is a faith God makes
for His kingdom useful.

Faith that is spoken,
faith that is conveyed
is a faith that God needs
so hearts can be swayed.

Faith that is ministering,
faith that is life-saving
is a faith in Jesus
worthy of our embracing.

Faith that is hidden,
faith that we don’t share
is a faith in God . . . .
leading others no where!

James 2:17

“Even so faith,
if it hath not works,
is dead, being alone.”

Matthew 7:16-20

“Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.”

God Is Always Aware ~

There isn’t a place,
where you can alone abide
no secret retreat
where you can run and hide.

For, God sees you,
wherever you are
regardless if you think
you’re close to Him or  far.

You may think,
God cannot see you
but, you are always
right within His view.

For, God sees you,
more than you suppose
no matter where you’re at
He always knows.

There isn’t a place,
where God’s not there
there isn’t a soul . . .
to which He’s not aware!

~~~~~~

Jeremiah 23:24

“Can any hide himself
in secret places
that I shall not
see him?
saith the Lord.
Do not I fill
heaven and earth?
saith the Lord.”

The Perfect Way of God ~

God’s way is perfect,
it leads to His Son
where grace and forgiveness
is offered to everyone.

God’s way is peaceful,
if you trust and believe
God’s mercy and favor
for yours sins you’ll receive.

God’s way is righteous,
it is tried and true
it’s where you will find
why Jesus died for you.

God’s way is direct,
it is holy and straight
leading all who follow it
through the narrow gate.

God’s way is perfect,
it leads to salvation
removing the curse . . .
of eternal damnation!

Psalm 18:30

“As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those
that trust in him.”

A New Covenant ~

God will bestow,
on each and everyone
life eternal
if we believe in His Son.

Through Jesus’ blood,
we have a new covenant
everlasting life instead . . .
of eternal punishment.

Through God’s mercy,
we’ll have eternal glory
tis why Jesus’ death
became mandatory.

When satan’s  defeated,
a crown of life we’ll receive
for all who until death
still trust and believe.

A ceaseless peace,
an eternal inheritance
all bestow unto us . . .
through God benevolence!

Hebrews 12:24

“And to Jesus the mediator
of the new covenant,
and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh
better things than that of Abel.”

A New Earth and Heaven ~

When I think about,
when the earth will be no more
into the Word of God I go
digging deeper as I explore.

I find throughout the pages,
the warnings God has given us
to seek His face while it can be found
and in Him, to learn to trust.

I see for generations,
man’s rebellion against God’s ways
and for the lack of faith
how we like sheep are led astray.

I come upon the verses,
when God knew what He had to do
and so He sent His begotten Son
to bring salvation to me and you.

When I think about,
when the heaven will be no more
I think about the new earth . . .
and all for us it has in store!

“ Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.”

Seeking God ~

If you seek God,
you will find
a place for Him
in your mind.

For, when you search,
God is found
and your thoughts
in Him, will abound.

If you seek God,
you will discover
and His plans for you
you will uncover.

For, when You look,
with all your heart
from His purposes
you’ll not depart.

If you seek God,
He will be there
and to His ways
you’ll be aware!

Deuteronomy 4:29

“But if from thence thou
shalt seek the Lord thy God,
thou shalt find him,
if thou seek him with all
thy heart and with all thy soul.”
