Good Morning Quote ~06.17.21~

Be Not Downcast ~

Don’t be discouraged,
be not overly concerned
for while you’re waiting
there’s much to be learned.

For waiting brings about,
lessons of obedience
so that you may have
for Jesus a radiance.

Don’t be disheartened,
be not too disquieted
God is not done with you
His work isn’t completed.

For He has a lot of things,
He has to remold in you
so while you sit and wait
let go and let God do.

Be not discouraged,
neither be downcast
for God is teaching you . . .
how to have faith steadfast!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 37:7a

Rest in the Lord,
and wait patiently for him:

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this
very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ:

I’m Completely Convinced ~

I am convinced I belong to God,
that nothing can separate us
I am sure and I am confident . . .
and so in Him I put all my trust.

Storms may toss and blow my way,
but I will not be swept out to sea
for I am sure and I am confident . . .
through each one God is with me.

There’s nothing man can say,
to break God’s and my alliance
I am sure and I am confident . . .
for on Him I put my full reliance.

The earth may shake and quiver,
yet my faith in God will stand
for I am sure and I am confident . . .
nothing can snatch me out of His hand.

I am convinced I belong to God,
my victory is in Christ alone
I am sure and I am confident . . .
one day He will take me home!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 8:38-39

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Sticky Note From God ~03.09.21~

Colossians 1:23

What Can Make Me Turn Away ~

What can make me,
from Jesus walk away
what can happen . . .
to make me go astray?

What kind of jeopardy,
will make me turn my back
what sort of danger . . .
will cause my faith to slack?

What can make me,
to stop in God believing
what can prevent me from
His face to keep seeking?

What kind of persecution,
can cause me to turn down
the hope and the grace
in Jesus I have found?

What can make me,
from God to separate
nothing I know of could . . .
my love for Him penetrate!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 8:35 -37

Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written,
For thy sake we are killed
all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for
the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we
are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.

Sticky Note From God ~01.01.21~

1 Corinthians 15:58

Faith Stabilizing ~

Faith stabilizing,
is faith energizing
it’s strong and robust
for in God it trusts.

It believes in things,
it can’t possibly see
it knows Jesus still . . .
calms the storms at sea.

Faith steadying,
is faith unshaken
it’s firm and secure
in truth it’s awaken.

It believes God’s Word,
from it, it waivers not . . .
it remains truehearted
in its mind and thought.

Faith revitalizing,
constantly is renewing
as the narrow way . . .
it keeps on pursuing!

~~~~~~~

James 1:6

But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he
that wavereth is like a
wave of the sea driven
with the wind and tossed.

Faith Invincible,
is a faith strong
it rejoices even when
things go wrong.

It is unbeatable,
nothing tears it down
it rejoices even when . . .
troubles come around.

Faith invincible,
is a faith robust
for it knows in God
to always put its trust.

It is unstoppable,
when satan attacks
it is indestructible
for hope it never lacks.

Faith invincible,
is a faith durable

for it is unmovable!

of your faith worketh patience.

Holding Fast ~

Lord, help me to hold fast,
give me the stability
to grasp onto my faith
with grace and humility.

Help me to be steadfast,
give me quiet persistence
let me not grow weary
when I meet resistance.

Lord, help me to be firm.
so that I will not waiver
let me cling to the hope
You are my found Savior.

Help me to be secure,
keep me peacefully steady
with encouraging words
let me always be ready.

Lord, help me to hold fast,
to the trust in You I’ve found
keep me calmly resilient . . .
in spreading my faith around!

Dispel Your Despair ~

If your faith is steadfast,
rooted and grounded
when trials come your way
in joy you’ll be surrounded.

For in the very midst,
of your worldly care
counting it all for joy
will dispel your despair.

When in Jesus,
you are truly content
you’ll experience joy
that is heaven sent.

For, whether in sickness,
or in perfect health
joy will bring to you
everlasting wealth.

Joy is not an option,
it’s something God gives
to those where His Spirit
securely abides and lives!

Romans 15:13

“Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in
believing, that ye may abound
in hope, through the power
of the Holy Ghost.”
