God loves you so much that He sings over you. He loves you so much that He prays long and hard over you. Whenever you are down or hurt, He feels your pain too, Because He is totally in love with you.   The Prince of Peace has been down the road you trod, He was not above it all, even though He is the Son of God. He willingly suffered abuse, hatred and rejection. His plan was to come to earth to crush the head of the serpent at  the inception.   He’s been through every kind of pain that is known to man, That’s why he can relate to every single thing the devil planned. But even with everything that was thrown His way, His blood bought our souls so only He can say: “In the world you will have tribulation, But be of good courage, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)   “ The  Lord  thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he  will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy  over thee with singing. ” (Zephaniah 3:...

You’re Our Heavenly Father’s beautiful tapestry , His priceless work of art . Yes, the Master’s hand has formed you , You’re always in His heart . He’s made you in His image , You’re always on His mind , He wants each heart and soul to  know Him , He is just so wonderful and  kind , And He wants  everyone  to know….   At a quick glance, it might seem as if your life has been all jumbled , You may feel that nothing makes sense, perhaps you’ve even stumbled , May be  at one time you ran with the ball but then you fell and fumbled , If  nothing seems to be going right,  if  you’ve been feeling shocked ,  perhaps you’ve mumbled , T hat’s okay because all things work together for good and all the pieces are being  re assembled .   Life can seem like a tapestry of woes , On the back   side  all the  threads  seem scrambled. But on the front side beauty grows , And w hen the weaver’s skillful hand is done , The fin...

The fields are ripe for harvest, God’s sickle is about to remove, All those that are ready for heaven, From all those who aren’t, and refuse.   The seeds that we are planting, Will always be used for God’s glory. Even if we don’t say anything, We can leave something behind to tell His story.   Write out a note with scripture s  and plant  them , S omewhere where someone is sure to see. At the gas station, put  one  behind the pump when you’re done, W ithout saying a word, you’ll have  shown  them how to find God’s only begotten Son. Then pray they’ll follow through, and leave the good news at the car wash on a table or chair,  Or hand a note to the  cashier, or the  hard-working person  or  the  customer s  that  are   also  there, Write a note on a square of toilet paper when you’re in the stall, Or leave notes in various places in stores, like on tables in restroom lounges in the mall, Or hand th...

Acknowledging, repenting, forsaking and daily confessing our sins to Jesus Christ  Abiding in Him and His Word, and feeding on its power  Abundantly blessing those around us, as we see the needs  All about Our Father’s business, always thinking, what would Jesus be doing?    Abstaining from the world’s ways, consecrating our lives, and staying in prayer  Admonishing others and encouraging them, to always keep the faith Always looking for Our Savior’s return, and listening for His shout  Allowing only His ways to purify our hearts, minds and thoughts   Affecting others by our godly deeds, serving Him and trusting His lead Assuring that others see Jesus by the way we live, no matter what the cost Anointed and prayed up so we’ll always be ready, when the trumpet sounds Awaiting each day with anticipation of meeting Him, keeping our garments clean   Believing in and being thankful for the fact, that Jesus died for our sins and rose again Being th...

Tell the world what they’re dying to hear, That somebody loves them, that Jesus is  near . Pass the torch of His light and His love, Help lift their heads, give them hope from above.   Show the world what they desperately need, A touch from the Savior, in word and deed. Pass the torch of this uncommon friend, The one who will always be true to the end.   Tell the world what they’re dying to hear, That somebody wants to remove all their fear, That somebody loves them, more than they know, That somebody cares if they stay or they go.   Tell the world what they’re dying to hear, That somebody loves them, that Jesus is  near . Pass the torch of His undying love, Tell them, the  Father  looks down from above.   The greatest gift that the world ever got, Is the one most refuse, they say “No, thanks a lot, I don’t need you or want you, your love has no appeal, I don’t believe you, sorry that’s just how I feel.”   But tell them I will never forget th...

We are the church Don’t need a steeple Let’s lend a helping hand Reach out to people   We are the church We are God’s people Let’s be the hands and feet Of our Lord Jesus   What amazing days  we have  before us , We can tell so many that the Lord is for us We can tell them of His love, that He adores us We can let them know there’s hope and sing this chorus   We want to help Lead you to Jesus He is the way, the truth, the life , a nd  the reason you’re here You were made in His image and for His glory He wants to give you  peace and hope and joy He promised us eternal life and oh so much more   We are the church Tell all the people That there’s a brand-new day that Jesus promised We can reach the lost wherever we are through whatever means   We are the church Tell all the people Invite them to the wedding feast of Jesus Tell all the world, that  His love has freed us They need Him now, He is the answer That we’re all sinners and we all f...

Are we telling the lost world about Jesus? Or  is  our fire  smoldering and about to go  out? Have we neglected so great a salvation? H as someone poured water  on us  and  replaced our spark with fear and d ou b t? Is it s uffocating ? Maybe a little blow from the Holy Spirit will make it reignite. We are in a spiritual battle, it’s a really desperate fight, The devil wants to hold onto his prey, and hold on tight But his power is not unlimited, he’s no match for the light. Still he tries to gain an entrance and tries to gain the right To steal and kill and destroy everything  in sight .   Has our fire gone out? Or are we willing to say like Job did, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him”? Or are we willing to say, as Esther did, “If I perish, I perish” when she went before the king, It was her decision to go without being asked, Which could have cost her her life, and fast, But the king held out his scepter and listened to her request...
