A MESSAGE WORTH REPEATING

A MESSAGE WORTH REPEATING


Some people who read the poems that I write
May say that the message is always the same
To this end I whole heartedly agree with them
For its purpose is to bless God’s Holy Name

The words that I write down aren’t always my own
They come through the power of God’s Holy Spirit
The message that it brings is very clear and precise
Because God has assured me that you need to hear it

If you hear the same message over and over again
It’s usually one that will stick and you won’t forget
God says that if you hear it and put it into practice
The end result is likely one that you’ll never regret

If the message God gives me is getting through to you
Naturally He will always be the very first one to know
But I’m still left in limbo because you’ve not told me
Please leave me a comment so that I can continue to grow

I’m just one of God’s many vessels to reach you and know
That as long as the Holy Spirit continues to bless me
Somebody somewhere is receiving God’s message
And a captive to the will of satan has been set free

A FOOL STILL LEARNING


A FOOL STILL LEARNING

For those of you who may not know me
For fourteen years I’ve been legally blind
It has been somewhat of a process of frustration
That makes many things so hard to find

I dropped some medication on the floor
My main concern was for my pets
For if they found and swallowed them
I would be filled with severe regrets

Still upset I accidentally knocked
A picture off of the hallway wall
Fortunately for me it didn’t break
It still made me feel so very small

I poured ketchup on my fries
I knew that it had a spout
Would you believe that when I squeezed it
I practically emptied the bottle out

The day went on and it didn’t stop
I misplaced my lunchtime medication
There just doesn’t seem to be an end
To this tumultuous frustration

It’s difficult even though I know
That God can fix anything that breaks
I must learn to trust Him always
No matter how often I make mistakes

THE PASSOVER LAMB


THE PASSOVER LAMB


You all know the story about when Moses
Told Egypt's pharaoh to let God's people go
And because he had a very hardened heart
Pharaoh's responded with a resounding no

So God brought many plagues upon Egypt but
Pharaoh would not yield until the very last one
After ordering all of the Jewish first born slain
God did the exact same thing to pharaoh's son

Again after saying "go", he changed his mind
Commanding his army to kill all that would flee
God parted the water and they went safely across but
Pharaoh's army was swallowed up by the raging sea

God commanded the Jew to observe Passover each year
Years later Yeshua came so that we could know Salvation
And at a Passover Seder which was to be His very last meal
This is what the Lord said to His disciples in conversation,

“Eat of this matzo for it is My body that will be broken.
Drink of this wine for  it symbolizes the blood I will shed.
My life will be forfeit so that My Father forgives all sin
Both turbulence and joy will you see in the years ahead.”

This is the very reason that we celebrate Communion
Remembering the Lamb of God and the fate He met
And why all believers tell of that fateful day
During Passover so that we will never forget

The day is coming when the Lord will return to earth
I believe that we are a part of this end time generation
Those who are lifted up and pass through heaven's gates
Have been bestowed with the Lord God's Eternal Salvation
