When You are alone

When You are alone

The pain you feel when you're all alone
a feeling to me, that's very well known
The thoughts in your mind, are not very clear
as you feel on your cheek, that burning tear

It eats you up, and tears you apart
as you try to heal your broken heart
We all have this feeling deep down inside
although for some, they have denied

The painful truth of what they feel
and by themselves, they can not heal
So ask the Lord for his healing hand
and walk you through that burning sand

To the end, where you can heal
and the feeling of contentment you can feel
He turns away no one, who has the Trust
So open your heart, to him you must


My tears are falling once again
because of the evilness of sin
It's all around, and hurts me so
it hits me hard, will not let go
It causes me such unbearable pain
as it did in the days of Abel and Cain
I need the strength of our sweet Lord
to be without, I can't afford
God gave his Son to protect me from sin
that Satan tempts in all Earthly men
He harms my Loved ones without care
I try to get away, but he's everywhere
There is a chance to defeat his way
it works, when we kneel down and Pray
God is stronger and he will win
He will protect me from the sin
I'll keep my Heart open, down to the core
and I will make it to Heaven's door

The End

Ask for forgiveness before it's to late
before you're standing at Heavens gate
Will you be ready for that final call
ask for it now, there's no time at all
Our Lord made a promise he's coming soon
this place we call Earth is heading for doom
The millennium's bringing lots of change
things are happening that's very strange
In the life of every mortal man
let God in your life while you can
God decides when the time has come
to send back to Earth his only son
The time you see is drawing near
and if you're ready, you have no fear

A Boy named Grumble Tone

I think this probably hits most of us pretty hard, as it is so much easier to grumble than to take a little extra effort to find something good to say. We would all be much better off if we took some time to think about things before we act or speak; better yet to say a prayer instead of finding fault.
God places people in our path to help refine and grow us, and so that we can help others in their walk with Him.
Even though there are plenty of bad things that happen each day, don’t let yourself get to the point that all you dwell on is the bad. God is still at work and doing plenty of great, even awesome things. Make the choice to look at things from His point of view and your life will be so much happier and peaceful.
His refinement process can seem tough at times, but He never wants you to settle for anything less than His Very Best.
*************************************************************************
There was a boy named Grumble Tone who ran away to sea,
“I’m sick of things on land,” he said, “as sick as I can be;
A life upon the bounding wave will suit a lad like me!”

The seething ocean billows failed to stimulate his mirth,
For he did not like the vessel, nor the dizzy, rolling berth,
And he thought the sea was almost as unpleasant as the earth.
He wandered into foreign lands, he saw each wondrous sight,
But nothing that he heard or saw seemed just exactly right;
And so he journeyed on and on, still seeking for delight.
He talked with kings and ladies fair; he dined in courts, they say,
But always found the people dull, and longed to get away
To search for that mysterious land where he would like to stay.
He wandered over all the world, his hair grew white as snow;
He reached that final bourne at last where all of us must go,
But never found the land he sought. The reason you would know?
The reason was that north or south, where’er his steps were bent,
On land or sea, in court or hall, he found but discontent;
For he took his disposition with him everywhere he went.

The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand

From those around, I hear a cry A mouth go soft, a hopeless sigh I hear their footsteps… leaving slow And then I know, my soul must Fly! A chilly wind, begins to blow Within my Soul, from Head to Toe And then it’s Last Breath, escapes my lips It’s time to leave. And I must go… So it’s true (But it’s too late) They said: “Each Soul, has its given Date” When it must leave its body’s core And meet it’s Eternal Fate Oh mark the words that I do say, Who knows? Tomorrow could be your day. At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell Decide which now… Do NOT delay! Come on my brothers and sisters let’s quicly Decide which now… Do NOT delay! Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see! My eyes are Blind! Am I still Me?! Or has my soul been led astray, And forced to pay a Priceless fee?! At last to Dust… we all return Some shall rejoice, while others burn If only I knew… that before The line grew short, and came my Turn! And now, as beneath the sod They lay me ( With my record flawed ) They cry, not knowing, I cry worse , For they go home, and now, I face my God! Oh mark the words that I do say, Who knows? Tomorrow could be your day. At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell Decide which now… Do NOT delay! REPENT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND

Seek First God's Kingdom

Seek First God's Kingdom

Seek first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness for your life,
Do not be anxious for what you lack,
Your needs, God will provide

For God knows when we come to Him,
Just what are our pressing needs
He will satisfy our hungry mouths
While our hungry hearts, He feeds

Store up treasures in heaven above
Where moth and rust won’t decay
And where the value will not decrease,
For it’s eternal and does not fade

And as we do this, we will find,
Our worries soon will cease
And in our souls there's a quietness
Where we will know God’s peace.

May God's Kingdom Come

May God's Kingdom Come

Heavenly Father, You are good.
I come with love and gratitude.
Thank You for the blessings you give,
Thank You for freedom of mind,
Thank You for the gift of today-
With opportunities to serve,
And to make the world better.
May I show my gratitude
By a life of obedience.
Let my work be in joy and faith.
Help me to live by convictions
And not by other's opinions.
Lord, free those who are oppressed;
Destroy those chains of heart and soul,
Shelter the fearful in Your arms,
Destroy things that harm your children,
Aid those who are in mortal need,
Show Your love to the lonely ones,
Comfort those who are forgotten,
Show Your light to the discouraged,
Deliver your children from sin,
And remove its scars from our hearts.
May Your joy and peace rule all hearts.
Guide all men to lives of love.
May we all lift our hands to serve
Each other's best and God's glory.
Bring Your Kingdom soon to the earth
Through the labors of godly men.
Aman

When Jesus Looks

When Jesus Looks

When Jesus looks upon my life, What picture does He see. Does He see His own reflection, Or does He just see me. Does He see His likeness, The product of His hand. Or just another Christian, Who never took a stand. Does He see a child of God, A child that He set free. Living life to honor Him, Or does He just see me. What about the other folks, I meet along the way. Do I show them Jesus, To brighten up their day. When someone looks into my eyes, Can they truly see. That calm and gentle peace of God, That dwells inside of me. When I reach out and shake a hand, Is He right there in my grip. Can they feel that strength from God, That steadies when I slip. When folks are in my presence, Do they know His Spirit's there. Can they see that He's the one, Who guides me everywhere. When other people think of me, What is on their mind. Do they think of Jesus Christ, So gentle and so kind. I try to be like Jesus, Every single day. Spreading love and kindness, All along my way. I'm afraid that I have failed, I could not pass the test. Deep inside my heart I know, I haven't done my best. I have had to fight my flesh, Since the day that I was born. It's always causing trouble, And being such a thorn. That's why His Spirit dwells in me, He's helping me to learn. In every situation, Where I need to turn. He knew I'd never pass the test, That's why He took my place. He gave His life to save my soul, He suffered my disgrace. Now I try to be like Him, I must present Him well. So other folks will want His gift, And turn their backs on hell. Other folks should see the joy, That Christ has given me. They should want to have it too, Especially since it's free. They should begin to ask me, What is it they must do. Just how it is they go about, Getting Jesus too. Then I get to tell them, This wondrous gift is free. It only takes a humble heart, A prayer on bended knee. Someday when I'm face to face, With the Lord who set me free. Will He see His own reflection, Or will He just see me. Jan Bagwell God Bless  It is so easy to get distracted and let the world lure and entice us. The enemy has many ways to get God's people focused on other things and get off the main objective; To serve the Lord and be an example to others, just as Jesus set for us when He was on the Earth. I encourage you to be strong and never let this world system get you worried or ashamed of who you are. If Jesus is on your side then why would you let anyone make you feel unworthy or not well equipped to serve and be a witness unto the Lord.

 

The Kingdom of God

God says
that I should love
those who hurt me.

For through them,
the Kingdom of God
is revealed.

How do I manifest
the glory of the Kingdom?
While I am in the world,
the Kingdom is within me.

Am I wise enough to see
its reality?

Am I strong enough to keep
its integrity?

My cup runs over,
I am full of emotions.
Each pulling me
in different directions.

But what do I reveal
if I retaliate?
What do I reveal
if I forgive?

Free will is mine.
But evil, like termites,
makes the Kingdom
collapse.

Little by little,
unnoticeable on the outside.
But quietly creating
a vacuum inside.

Emptiness is...
The denial of love.
The coldness of alienation;
The final result of pride's
fleeting satisfaction.

What good is
an empty Kingdom?
Devoid of life,
its light extinguished?

The children of God
are recognized by
the way that they
love one another.

My only choice, then,
as a child of God,
is to love.

It's easy to love
the lovable.

But loving the unlovable,
is easier said than done.

It's Cruel.
Unthinkable.
Yet...
necessary.

For my own good,
for the common good.
And above all
in honor of
The Kingdom of God.

What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom.”
