Love Is An Action Word

 Love is an action word.

How can you say you love me,

when your actions are contrary to what you say?

You shoot me with your arrows..

You mar me with your thoughts..

You slay me to the bone,

yet praise me in the company of men.


Do you know I cry?

Do you hear my tattered groanings in the darkness?

Do you think that I don't ache?

Where is your love,

when I am surrounded by clouds of fear?

Where does it go, when my heart is driven to despair?


How can you love me, 

when you do not love yourself?

How can you love me,

when you reject the love of Christ?

To love is a gift.

To love others is a blessing.

To love me is a privilege.

Tomorrow May Be Too Late

Image
 Do not wait until something happens to you, before you call upon the Lord.  Time is running out and you may not get the chance to even say JESUS, in your time of need. You must make preparations and be equipped for any eventuality. You prepare in advance to cook a meal. You prepare and you study for tests and exams. You prepare and make certain, you have every document necessary for a Visa appointment. You prepare for the rainy weather and disaster. You prepare your resume for a job. You prepare for an event. You prepare for the clothes you wear. BUT do you prepare for eternity? Do you get into your closet and pray? Do you lift your voice in worship to the Lord? Do you fast and present your body as a living sacrifice? Do you  forsake the assembly of God's people? Do you tell others about Jesus? Have you repented of your sins and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Are you part of the glorious church... the one without spot and wrinkles?  Everything you h...

Sorrow Is Coming

Image
 Above it all, you are the God who hides.. For your heartfelt yearning, is to those who abides. The covenant of everlasting, to the sons of men.. Will mark every footstep, till time shall transcend. Thus saith the Lord, to those who have ears.. Sorrow is coming, without any cares. Surely the tempter, might rage upon you.. But be of good courage, for the old shall be new. Speak to the stranger, whose delight is for fame.. Look beyond the natural, for life is not a game. Look unto Jesus, for HE is the way.. And assemble yourself, while you kneel and pray. Unto the seed, of the royal birth.. The statutes and precepts, are there for your girt. Pollute not your temple, for your members to yield.. And rise up with fortune, for the Lord is your shield. Surely the latter, shall be whiter than snow.. Toward the setting sun, where darkness cannot go. Like crystal clear waters, in whom there is life.. Behold all the beauty, of the Lord's only wife. In the secret place, where hope there reside...

Rest In Peace

Image
 Rest in peace, has a cost attached.. In the realm of each breath, to God you must latch. On this journey called life, you have choices to make.. For the consequences of making the wrong ones, will trap you in a fiery lake. Do not reject, the offering of the Lord.. In word and in deed, as you cut every cord. You are privileged to have, an opportunity to serve.. Where the Son shines bright and to receive what you deserve. Your life on earth, is not yours to claim.. You are on loan to get up and worship neither fortune nor fame. To rest in peace, you must accept Jesus as Lord.. For He is the way, the truth and the life. While others sit in wonder, may you never join the fold.. For cinnamon and ointment, would never be your gold. Turn away from merchants, who adorn you with lace.. And become a humble servant, with the Lord's own grace. There is coming a day, when you will be judged.. On the life you have lived and where you were lodged. Like a glove on your hand, be you fit in your pr...
