You are the Masterpiece!

The Masterpiece

You are special!

Created by the hands of God himself!
Awaken by His breath!
Filled with His spirit!
Redeemed by His blood!
Live by His love!
For none on this earth could be measured equal to you!
So live as what you are supposed to be!
The masterpiece of GOD!

Even though I grew up in church, there was a time I was far from God. But with everything I went through in this life, I've come to realize God is the only thing that can keep me going, that gives me strength, and will never leave my side.

Because Of You

Because you picked me up, when I struggled to get through.
Because you healed my heart, when it was thrown and shattered.
Because you gave me hope, when it seemed so out of reach.
Because you filled me with peace, when chaos flowed through my veins.
Because you showed me the light, when there was only darkness.
Because you gave me comfort, when my voice cried out in pain.
Because you reassured me, when the doubts screamed in my head.
Because you kept me going, when there seemed nowhere to go.
Because you sustained me with strength, when weakness became all I knew.
Because you came and stayed, when everyone else turned around and left.
Because you gave me a purpose, when life seemed so pointless.
Because you restored my happiness, when life seemed to snatch it away.
Because you filled this emptiness, when the void echoed with loneliness.
Because you helped me let it all go, when I gripped the tightest to hold on.
Because you showed me the beauty of life, when the world showed me nothing but hate and corruption.
Because you gave me a better life, when the old one fought to come back.
Because I am nothing without you, nothing but a hopeless being.
Because only You could tear down my wall of pride, and instead build it back up with love and humbleness.
Because of all this, I give you my life Lord.
I will put all my fears and failures in Your hands, my worries that consume me, my pain that destroys me.
You were always there, even when I rejected You.
Because of all You are, my life, oh God, is yours.

Ye Did It Unto The Least Of These

 

We’re in a world so busy
People running everywhere.
Forever looking at our watches
Our minds racing with cares.

We never see that lonely man
Sitting on the street.
We don’t even notice that hungry lady
Struggling in the heat.

Children so needy
Filled with despair.
An old grandma rocking sadly
And no one cares.

We must remember
Jesus left us with a plea…
“Ye did unto the least of these
my brethren, ye did it unto me.”

So what about you?
What about me?
What about the lonely man
Sitting on the street?

Will you reach out
Without a shadow of doubt?
Will you love the least of these
And fulfill Jesus’ plea?

A smile for the lonely man sitting on the street.
A bit of food for the hungry lady struggling in the heat.
A hug for the children so full of despair.
A cheery voice for the old Grandma in the rocking chair.

This seems so simple
Such an easy thing to do.
Let’s reach out for the least of these
And for Jesus too.

God Bless
Look beyond yourself and at the suffering people of the world.

Praise

Praise

Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!  Psalm 107:8

I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and will glorify Thy name for evermore.  Psalm 86:12

By Him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.  Hebrews 13:15

Praises to the Saviour give, He who died that we might live, For His love, so great, so free, Praise His Name eternally. When our hearts were steeped in sin, Vile and wretched were within, Jesus left the throne above, Came to show the Father's love. Oh how wondrous was His grace! He who took the sinner's place, Jesus offered "Lo, I come," All to bear the sinner home. Jesus died on Calv'ry's tree, There to set the sinner free, All who on His Name believe, Everlasting life receive. What a debt to Him we owe! Gladly may our praises flow, Let our cheerful voices raise, Loud thanksgivings, songs of praise. Praise the Father and the Son, That redemption's work is done, Magnify that precious Name, Christ, the Lamb of God, who came. Worthy is the Lamb once slain, Praise and magnify His Name, Laud and honour may we bring, To our Saviour, Priest and King. Glory unto Jesus be, He who died to set us free, Let us worship and adore, Praise His Name forevermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.  Psalm 113:3

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  Rev. 5:12

Don't stop Knocking

DON'T STOP KNOCKING

I was awakened from sleep one night.
by somebody knocking at the door.
Sleepily I turned on my light.
And put my feet on the floor.
Carefully I climbed down each stair 
Rounded a corner - I was almost there.
But just before I opened the door.
The person gave up and knocked no more.

A man was praying to the Lord 
For something he wanted so dear
But after a while he thought to himself.
'Maybe God doesn't care.'
Broken hearted he got off his knees.
Thinking 'God won't ever answer my pleas' 
And just be fore God would have opened the door.
That man gave up and 'knocked' no more.

Don't stop knocking! Don't you quit!!
God WILL answer- when He sees fit.
And though you're discouraged just kneel down and pray.
God might answer today.

In the Bible we are told to cast on God our care.
If we pray in Jesus' name -God will answer our prayer.
Some times the answer he gives is --wait.
And sometimes it is --no.
But don't quit praying...don't give up!
Until the answer you know.
