God loves us all


God loves us all
My worst enemy
My best friend
There is no in-between
no middle ground
He wants us all 
to come to Him
be One with Him
Through His beloved Son,
Jesus,who came to earth
because of Love
who walked the road to death
on the cross
because of Love
who was resurrected
and sits at the right hand
of His Father in heaven
because of Love
God wants us all
to come to Him
be One with Him
Through His Son, Jesus Christ,
who offers us Salvation
His blood shed for ours
He loves us so much
He holds forth his nail-pierced hand
The Gift offered
Will you accept
The Gift
Will you begin the journey
to be one with Him,
He who loves us all,
oh so much.

a glimmer of hope


a glimmer of hope
arises
a heartbeat is heard
an opportunity for God’s Love
to thrive
and bring joy in the midst
of a cruel world.

a glimmer of hope
arises
and then dashed
by medical doctors
whose level of compassion
lay dormant
beneath “their” wants
“their” desires
“their” beliefs

a glimpse of hope
arises
a baby grows within the womb
Abort! Abort! is heard
but no! it will not be
That is not my desire
Not mine, not ours
and certainly not God’s.

God’s will will rule.

a glimmer of hope
arises
God brings life
into the world
His will is not to destroy
that which He has created.
He desires to bring life --
abundant life.

May the glimmer of hope
be ever brighter and bolder
and come to fruition.

The expectant waiting is fulfilled


Sunset to sunset
in Old Testament day
a time of expectation

Sunrise to sunrise
in this New Testament day
the time of expectation
fulfilled
The Lord –
promised, prophesied
has risen …
from the dead
has He been reborn.


JESUS

A light in the darkness
is born
a babe in Mother Mary’s arms
Night falls at midday
with suffering and death
on Calvary’s cross
But in the morning,
on the 3rd day
a glorious light
fills the heavens
He has risen!
He is alive!
The expectant waiting
has been fulfilled
A new day has come.

Are you living in the new day
Are you alive in Him
or are you still stuck
in the Old Testament
waiting for what is already here?
