FISH STORY

Fish Story (A NON SPIRITUAL POEM)

As a child I went on fishing trips

Most of them were with my dad

At that point in my life it was

The greatest time I'd ever had

Before dad would let me fish all by myself

He taught me how to use the rod and reel

That I would know if I had one on my hook

Because It's something that he said I'd feel

I sat there waiting very patiently but

My nervous stomach churned inside

I felt a jerk and quickly reeled it in

Unfortunately it was just the tide

I cast my line out once again

With all of the utmost speed

When it yanked again I pulled it in but

I had hooked clumps of thick seaweed

Once more I cast into deep water

By now I really didn't give a hoot

The next time that my line came up

I had hooked a size eight army boot

I was just about ready to give up

So I reeled it in and to my dismay

There was the biggest fish I'd ever seen

The largest one that was caught that day

The one thing that I learned from this

Is that no matter what gets in the fray

Be patient it will work out in the end

The goal that you seek is on the way

THE HEALING

THE HEALING

For years I was highly medicated

I had taking pill after pill after pill

I was baffled why there were so many

Not knowing what made me so very ill

I did not have a strong belief in God

Then a friend said that I should pray

And come to a Messianic Healing Service

It just so happens that there is one today

While I was waiting for my turn

I felt a presence come over me

It felt like I had been consumed

By something that I couldn't see

When the rabbi laid his hands on me

I knew exactly what I had been feeling

The Holy Spirit of God had consumed me and

Told me that there was about to be a healing

This miracle that God had performed

For I’m now free of many pills and pain

He’s given me an entirely new outlook

I'll never doubt the Lord my God again

The Son of God gave His Life for me

He said that by His Stripes I'd heal

I thank the Lord for this awakening

Now I serve Him with zest and zeal

EACH BREATH I TAKE

EACH BREATH I TAKE

I thank the Lord for every breath I take

For only God knows when all life ends

It may come when you are young or old

What's is in His plans well it all depends

Perhaps He will give you a longer life

That enables you to minister His Word

Maybe you have yet to accept the Lord and

Years may go by before His Truth is heard

He may call a baby or a youth to glory

Their families distraught and full of pain

But God has a higher purpose for them

In time they'll see their loved once again

No matter how much time you have left on earth

Pray to and Praise and glorify our God and King

Obey whatever the Lord God may ask you to do

To understand that abiding in Him is everything

Then when by the Grace of God He calls you

And He says that it's time to end your years

Yeshua will bring you to His Father's House

Your answered prayer filled with joyful tears
