Do It All In Love ~

Whatever you do,
out of love perform it
for love can brighten
someone else’s spirit.

For love set in action,
is an amazing thing
for joy and happiness
to others it will bring.

Whatever you say,
out of love speak it
let your words together
be by love knitted.

For love in motion,
goes a long, long way
for hope and peace
will fill someone’s day.

Whatever you say and do,
by charity be inspired
for this is what Jesus’ . . .
very own heart required!

Colossians 3:14

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

Blessed Are Those Merciful ~

Blessed are the merciful,
those who do believe
it is better to be forgiving
then to injure or aggrieve.

For they know they must be,
kind, gentle and polite
so that for Jesus . . .
they can reflect His light.

Blessed are those merciful,
those who are generous
for their deeds of charity
are done with reverence.

For they know they should be,
compassionate and caring
for the love of God . . .
they are always bearing.

Blessed are those merciful,
those who do believe
for their acts of kindness . . .
mercy from God they’ll receive.

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 5.7

Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.

My Brother’s Keeper ~

I am my brother’s keeper,
I help him to understand
I encourage him to put
his life into God’s hand.

I am my sister’s keeper,
I help her to see the light
I encourage her to grow
to keep Jesus in her sight.

I am my mother’s keeper,
in her old age I help her out
I hold her hand when lonely
to calm her fears and doubt.

I am my father’s keeper,
I lift to God, his very soul
I pray each day and night
Jesus will make him whole.

I am my children’s keeper,
I listen to their concerns
I pray for God to give them
the wisdom to discern.

I am my neighbor’s keeper,
I pray for their daily needs
I tell them to always heed
to follow where God leads.

The Lord is my keeper,
He is with me every day
He watches over me . . .
as I travel the narrow way!

~~~~~~~~~

Genesis 4:9

“And the Lord said unto Cain,
Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother’s keeper?”

1 John 2:10

He that loveth his brother
abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion
of stumbling in him.

Encouragement Needed ~

We all need encouragement,
on this journey we call life
we all need a stretched out hand
to help us with our daily strife.

For it can be a painful trip,
if we don’t help one another
for the tough times are easier
when they are done together.

We all need some motivation,
on this voyage to get to heaven
we all need an inspiration boost
when our heart’s are down laden.

For it can be a weary trek,
without having some backing
to help us get over the bumps
when our own faith is lacking.

We all need encouragement,
as we make our journey here
we all need motivation . . .
until the final trump we hear!

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Wherefore comfort
yourselves together,
and edify one another,
even as also ye do.

Helping One Another ~

Helping one another,
burdens to bear
we all need to do
to exhibit we care.

Showing them Jesus’,
love and grace
is something we all
need to embrace.

Assisting someone,
in their time of need
is something we all
should daily heed.

We can aid a neighbor,
tend to a friend unwell
or just hold a hand
till their fears unravel.

Helping one another,
needn’t be laborious . . .
we can simply just share
in God our faith and trust!

Bear ye one another’s burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.

The Language of Gratitude ~

I’m learning a new language,
its called gratitude . . .
and it begins with having
a thankful attitude.

Its vocabulary,
is easy to understand
for gratitude is as simple as
offering a helping hand.

I don’t have to say any words,
or even write them down
for gratitude can be heard
without making a single sound.

There isn’t a special course,
to study or memorize
for gratitude can be picked up
by hearing others cries.

This dialect is universal,
anyone can speak it
for it is the language
of the Holy Spirit!

~~~~~~

Colossians 3:17

“And whatsoever ye do
in word or deed, do all
in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and
the Father by him.”
