The Invitation . . 

There is an invitation,
I would like to give to you
a special request . . .
that I think you should do.

I want to appeal to you,
to come and meet my Friend
He is someone you will like
if time with Him ~ you'll spend.

He is as gentle, as He is kind,
He is meek ~ yet very strong
He is the kind of companion
you'll always want to take along.

He will never disappoint you,
or turn His back on you
with Him all things are possible
there isn't anything He can't do.

His love is unconditional,
for it's full of mercy and grace
there is no limit to the amount
that you choose to embrace.

I know He wants to meet you,
for He has placed you on my heart
and I know that it's your sin . . .
that's keeping, the two of you apart.

So, won't you accept my invitation,
to meet this Friend of mine
He is Jesus, my Lord and Savior
and I pray God's gift ~ you'll not decline!

Romans 6:23
King James Version

"For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord."

God Of The Hopeful

Lord of the heart

upon a new day’s start.

God of the trustful,
Lord of the soul

God of the faithful,
Lord of the mind
may your peace
today we again find.

God of the hopeful,
Lord of our life
give us the courage
to give You our strife.

God of the watchful,
Lord of the heart

today, may we not part!

Psalm 31:24

“Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
your heart, all ye that
hope in the Lord.”

King James Version

If We Know

If we know . . .
all things work for our good
then why don’t we trust God
like we know we should?

If we know . . .
together things will work out
then why don’t we trust God
instead of having doubt?

If we know . . .
with God all things are possible
then why don’t we trust God
with what is impossible?

If we know . . .
our life’s are in God’s control
then why don’t we trust God
with the things of the soul?

If we know . . .
and God we truly love
then why aren’t we willing
our fears to let go of?

Romans 8.28

“We know that all things
work together for
good to them that love God:

If We Are To Have Hope

If we are to have hope,
in what we can’t see
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t trust more in Thee?

If we are to have patience,
while for Your return we await
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep to the straight gate?

If we are to have faith,
that Your Kingdom is coming
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep faithfully running.

If we are to have perseverance,
even though You may tarry
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t our own cross carry?

If we are to have hope,
if we are to trust and believe
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep our eyes on Thee?

Romans 8:25

“But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it.”

My Vision

I have a hope;I have a vision,
Since my soul made a decision.
I saw the Christ once lifted high,
On Calvary's cross I heard Him cry.
'Forgive them Father was His plea.'
A thief cried out 'remember me'.
This man too just felt his sin,
The perilous state that I was in.
A history a reputation,
One who fell to each temptation.
The cloud removed I now could see,
Nailed pierced hands had set me free.
Now in Christ a new creation,
A citizen of one holy nation.
Breathing in Gods word of life,
A man of peace no longer strife.
Now risk I'll take, ignore derision,
Win men for Christ, fulfill my vision

Forgiven By Jesus

The reason I love Jesus
is because he has forgiven me so much
My sins, which were many,
he washed away with his miraculous touch.

He told me to "go in peace,"
and by faith I was made whole
When I trusted him with my heart,
he saved my soul.

Because of his forgiveness,
I can talk to him and love him so,
have fellowship with his sufferings
and his wisdom know

It's all because Jesus forgave my sins,
not in part, but all
and throughout my pilgrim journey
I am listening for his call.

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Luke 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
