You Needn’t Be a Magi ~

You needn’t be a Magi,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to make a trip
or need to come from very far.

You don’t have to bring gifts,
of gold, myrrh or frankincense
it won’t cost you a thing . . .
other then your penitence.

You needn’t be a shepherd,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to go anywhere
it will come to where you are.

For, Jesus is the Light shinning,
for all of the world to see . . .
He brings hope to the darkness
with His grace He’ll set you free.

You don’t have to be a Magi,
or a shepherd coming from afar
you can accept the gift of Jesus . . .
today, right from where you are!

Matthew 2:9-11

When they had heard the king,
they departed; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.

When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

 And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense and myrrh.

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.”

My Stress Reliever ~

Jesus is my stress reliever,
my care and burden taker
He is my mess cleaner . . .
my perfect peace maker.

Jesus is my pain reliever,
my hurt and grief clearer
He is my head lifter
my heart and soul restorer.

Jesus is my doubt reliever,
my fear and qualm calmer
He is my hope installer
my faith and trust instiller.

Jesus is my grudge reliever,
my failure and flaw fixer
He is my wound healer
my emotional scar tamer.

Jesus is my debt reliever,
my sin and shame forgiver
He is my guilt eraser . . .
my life and soul Savior!

~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded
for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace
was upon him; and with
his stripes we are healed.

Be A Peacemaker ~

You can be a blessing,
right here and now
you can be a peacemaker
and too show others how.

You can have a spirit,
of peace and unity
and spread it throughout
your own community.

You can be a blessing,
each and every day
by showing others to
the Life, Truth and Way.

You can have a spirit,
soaked in His Light
and help others with
their own faithful fight.

You can be a blessings,
no matter where you are
by bringing peace to all
whether near and far!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are

Good Morning Quote ~04.08.22~

Why Not Me ~

Some people ask God why me,
I ask Him me, why not . . .
for when I start to doubt Him
it leaves me feeling fraught.

So instead of worrying,
about what God is doing . . .
I find trusting in Him
keeps my faith renewing.

Some people ask God why,
I ask Him what for . . .
for I know good things
He has for me in store.

So rather then fretting,
over things I can’t control
I ask Him to release peace
into my heart and soul.

Some people ask God why me,
I ask Him why not me . . .
for I know He is working
in places I cannot see!

~~~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 4:16-17

For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward
man perish, yet the inward man
is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal
weight of glory;

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen
are eternal.

A Happily Ever After ~

There is a happily,
ever after . . . .
a place filled with joy
eternal laughter.

But until we’re in heaven,
troubles there will be
but, Jesus says until then
to have peace in Me.

There will be a happy,
forevermore . . .
a place where death
will be no more.

But, until Jesus comes,
to rule and to reign
we will experience
sorrow, grief and pain.

There can’t be happiness,
in this world we’re living
but, one day there will be
not one eye found crying!

~~~~~~~~

John 16:33

These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.

Let God Rule Your Mind ~

Let God rule your mind,
let Him have His way
let His peace help you
navigate each day.

For when we seek,
His supernatural peace
into our lives He will
His quietness release.

Let God rule your heart,
let Him be your desire
let His peace be your
tranquility supplier.

For when we seek,
with a heart yearning
His peace will keep us
to Him, to keep turning.

Let God rule your mind,
let Him have your heart too
then just sit back and watch
what His peace in you can do!

~~~~~~

Colossians 3:15

And let the peace
of God rule in your
hearts, to the which
also ye are called in
one body; and
be ye thankful.

Lord, Make Yourself Known ~

Lord make Yourself known,
to all who need You
reveal to their hearts
all for them You can do.

Make Yourself recognizable,
help them in You to believe
so the plan of salvation
they may be able to receive.

Lord, make Yourself real,
to those full of darkness
let them see that in You
they not be hopeless.

Open up their eyes,
pry open their minds
so that Your peace
they will be able to find.

Lord, make Yourself known,
make to all Your love real
so that their lives . . .
You can repair, mend and heal!

John 14:9-10

Jesus saith unto him,
Have I been so long time
with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? he
that hath seen me hath seen
the Father; and how sayest
thou then, Show us the Father?

Believest thou not that I am in
the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you
I speak not of myself: but the
Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the works.

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father,
but by me.

Psalm 34:17-20

If Only More People ~

If only more people,
would others forgive
oh, what a better world . . .
in which we would live.

Then there would be,
no more sorrow and grief
for bitterness would be
short lived and brief.

If only more people,
would turn the other cheek
oh, how this world . . .
would be so less bleak.

For, then there would be,
less death and devastation
for peace would replace
reproach and condemnation.

If only more people,
would love one another
then we’d have a world . . .
where no one has to suffer!

~~~~~~~~

John 13:34

A new commandment
I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.

Ephesians 4:32

And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ’s sake
hath forgiven you.
