 Life is a test of our spiritual strength, in Him we can rest no matter the length; If trials are drips and we let them grow cold, our love is
like icicles as we grow old; Our journey through life has many a trial, let’s not be like Eve the serpent beguiled; The Son is our strength who gives living water, and we are like clay in the hands of the potter; When hearts cannot thaw and Ill feelings we meet, its worst than the tares infesting the wheat; Proverbs says hatred stirs up strife, but not how it ruins a man and his wife; But then it says love covereth all sin, through Him we can bring it out from within; He healed the blind man and we can be too, He said according to faith be it unto you; This really hits hard the biblical truth, it’s only through faith our life is moved; I can’t stress enough our strength through the Son, It’s just like it says in Matthew 21:21; Lets conquer this beast old Satan the devil, so we can begin to live life on the level; Were struggling and drowning and deep in the mud, when we have victory through the cross and Christ’s blood; Satan is boiling us ready for stew, let God’s word and faith stick us together like glue; God shows us the future is in his hand, but a house divided against it self shall not stand; I know we can do it through patience and love, and courage and strength that comes from above; Time does not heal but love is the cure, our diligent faith and trust will secure; The timeless commitment we made at the start, let faith in the Lord Jesus heal our Heart; Oh how silly it is to think we're in the last days, but look how were tempted and led so astray; Jesus talked about the days of old, how the love of many shall wax cold; In Matthew 24:12 I dare to say, He spoke the truth about a coming day; And because iniquity shall abound, what is iniquity, just look around; The love of many shall wax cold, as born again Christians, is this our story told? Oh how easy it seems to defend, instead of reaching out as a best friend; Difference of opinions aren’t so bad, can we feel different without getting mad? Walking in our great Lord’s shadow, how we act will prove what we know; Jesus showed us his example, now it’s time we show our sample; How we’ve learned to set aside, all our arrogance and pride; How in love and peace we act, keeping our family's intact; By Mark Aldrich (c) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My hope for you is that you have had a prayer of salvation, and if you haven't and you want to ask Christ into your heart and life, then I offer these words for you to repeat, but only if your heart is sincere, because God knows it if you're not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear God, I now know I have needed you and have rejected your calling, so today, right now, I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and my life, and forgive me from all past sin and Lord cleanse me from my unrighteousness. I believe that Jesus was crucified for my sin, died, and was buried and rose from the dead according to the scriptures. I want you forever more to be my guide and I want to follow you as a believer. I ask for your strength to change my heart and my earthly ways so that I can become a better child in your kingdom. Show me how to depend on you in all things. And show me how to do your will in my life. I thank you and pray this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! April 19th, 2009 - 11 rev. |
