In the world...but not of the world, as if in no man's land.....
surrounded by enemies that want to possess.....
to seize the souls waiting in patience for the ONE of Ownership !
The voices ...saying He is here...another saying He's over there....
will become confused by all the voices thou hears...
must walk in what thou knows is Truth ....taught by the Spirit.
The sheep Hear the voice of the SHEPHERD of their souls.....
comforting......even if in midst of times of great evil....
thy cup is filled......til' overflows.
The LORD is thine light 'n salvation: whom shall thou fear.....
thou has seen HIS Great Works in protecting of heirs....
'n has HE not answered many of thy past urgent prayers !
The LORD is the Avenger....may none forget......
may none seek to get even ...but to Forgive.....
commit thy ways to the LORD, 'n Trust in HIM !
What is LIFE...here today, gone tomorrow.......
who can even fully explain life's joys or sorrows ?
In just one quick moment,,,,or over a period of time.....
great is changes that can take place in one's life.
What promise does any have , of how their life may end....
o' the dreadful curse of sin.
The war...being one of evil 'n good.....this life is....
by nature, a war that by oneself...can not possibly win.
Can gain.....but as quickly ,all can be taken away....
does any truly have control of one's fate ?
Even can see that the body cannot escape decay.....
are born.....live.....then the grave.....
o' of LIFE.....who can truly explain ?
Like a door....left closed, being left out in the cold...
no where to go....no warm clothes....
eventually, in comes ......no hope....
Curtains close.....the end of life, as one knows.
If that is all there is to life, why the fight to even survive...
could it be....that none truly want to die.......
...............WHY ?............
Does not nature itself teach......that there is a CREATOR....
A DELIVERER...........from the dreadful curse.................
'n it is........JESUS..........THE WORD !
O' what a SAVIOUR....THE GOD of gods....
HIS anger not turned away, yet HIS HAND...still stretches out!
HE can make as deaf 'n blind......'n all as waste....
'n can cause the trembling heart to fearfully shake....
of HIS POWER....who can even deny....or reject the seen fiery blaze,
yet.....of all, some will still turn away.
To despise the WORD,'n WORKS of the MOST HIGH....
was in History...rejected in many lives.....
o' the dreadful destroyer....none other than as is pride.
JESUS....said here AM I .....send ME.....
SURELY OF THY SON......"they will receive"....
......... JOHN 3:16................
O' today is the day......to BELIEVE.....
GOD is yet stretching out HIS HAND OF MERCY...
o' can't you see.......HE GAVE HIS ALL for you 'n me.
I know, of what I speak......as was lost ,ready to perish....
til'......along this journey, was found as a helpless sheep,
I know how HE can set free.......Connie
