Blessings of Your Name

A Poem about God's blessings

Blessings of Your Name
I live to bless you
I breath glorify you
But you bless me more than I can begin to fathom
Each time I give to you
You give me exponentially more
You My LORD
My Savior
My righteousness is in you
My Father
My identity is in you
My Comfort
My consolation is in you
My Joy
My delight is in you
My Peace
My faith is in you
My Strength
My power is in you
My Healer
My hope is in you
My Provider
My completion is in you
My All Sufficient
My everything is in you
My Praises to you
Are blessings for me

In the End

7/16/2015

In the End©

In the end, there is no end.

It was finished for eternity.

There is no end

Mortality to Immortality

It is finished

And eternity is for all

Some will live forever

Some will die forever

The Morose Road

7/5/2015

And so morose I trod the road

Wondering where it led

Wandering this life and lost

My burden such a heavy load

My sadness kept it fed

Oh could I afford the cost

The price that was foretold

But it was for me He bled

On that lovely cross

So with joy I run the road

To home is where it led

Soaring and no longer lost

I’m happy

And I’m free

My Heart's Nigun

6/14/2015

Lord, my God

I don’t have the words

I can only trust you

In your wisdom

In your knowledge

In your power

In your Love

My soul cries out

I don’t have the words

I can only depend on you

In your wisdom

In your knowledge

In your power

In your Love

You are my loving Father

My Sovereign

My Comforter

Thank you

Psalm of Salvation

6/11/2015

The trumpet sounds long and loud

The Horn of Salvation descends on a cloud

The ones called righteous lifted up

Joining the Bridegroom in splendid sup

The lost thrown down into fire

Joining the defeated chief liar

What part to play in finding them

What part to take in guiding them

Pointing them from dark to light

Guiding them to peace from fight

We are the glory of the Lord

We are the vessels of the Word

As He the Most High exalts

So He forgives all faults

To Him be all praise and glory

We live to reveal His story

A Psalm for My All in All

6/6/2015

A Hummingbird at rest

I am weary and worn

You never tire

I am broken and torn

You lift me higher

You replenish me

You nourish me

I have nothing to offer

You fill me

Oh My Dear Father

You are my Rock

You teach me to walk

You free me to run

In your power

By the Son

You make me fearless

With Your Spirit

Overwhelmed

5/3/2015

Overcome by God

Submerged in the Living Water

Succumbing to His death

for my life

Rising to His Resurrection

A new creation

A new life

Collective State of Mind

3/29/2015

The crowd that shouted “Hosanna in the highest!”

and waved palms on that Sunday long ago,

was the same mob that only days later cried out, “Crucify Him!”

The crowd so easily becomes the mob.

The passion of the throng so effortlessly becomes

the furor of the horde.

Emotion is not meant to lead.

Masses are not intended to direct.

Following feelings and pursuing the pack

leads to saturnalia, lynching,

and being one of many.

There is no I Am in the hive.

Not by works...

Mother Teresa said, “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”

At first I loved this quote, I was all over it. But then I realized that although it is a good thought and nice encouragement to love one another as Jesus loves us, it isn’t true. We will not be judged by our good works, or even by our faith. We will be judged by whether or not we are covered in Jesus’ blood. If we are then it should show in our faith and our faith should be manifested in good works, and Jesus should be revealed to the world in our love. But we will be judged simply by whether or not our names are written in the Book of Life.

You can’t be good enough. You can’t do enough good to earn heaven. Only Jesus can give you that.

We Need One Anothers

This is a small list of the one another commands in God’s word:

Love one another (John 13:34, John 13:35, John 15:12, John 15:17, 1 Peter 4:8)

Encourage one another (Hebrews 10:25)

Pray for one another (James 5:16)

Be at peace with one another (Mark 9:50 1 Peter 3:8)

Wash one another’s feet. (John 13:14)

Be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32)

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love (Romans 12:10)

Honor one another (Romans 12:10)

Instruct one another (Romans 15:14, Colossians 3:16)

Serve one another (Galatians 5:13)

Be patient to one another (Ephesians 4:2)

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21)

Confess your sins to one another (James 5:16)

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. (Ephesians 5:19)

We have to have others in our lives in order to fulfill the law of Christ. Christianity is not meant to be a lone-wolf experience.
