ETERNAL CITY

In Christ, Christian, Eternity, God, Heaven on May 23, 2013 at 3:08 pm

Of course, God answers every prayer!

A gentle  n o  we  m a y  hear!

And many times it is wait awhile as

He seeks to  d r a w  you  n e a r!

 

 

Does He not  k n o w  what we need?

Surely, you know He is aware!

Your every  t h o u g h t  determining

As with others we share.

 

 

We forget at time that we are Eternal,

Tendency is to  e x i s t,

For this physical, visible,  o n l y!

Where it  o n l y  consists!

 

 

“This is the only life I have,”

A TV commercial  d e c l a r e s!

No soul, no spirit, just  b o d y  here!

What hopelessness compares!

 

 

This life only, consider thoughtless!

Life has only  o n e  point.

May as well live it up, for sure,

Rest of life in some joint!

 

 

Life has meaning, preparing to dwell in

Eternity’s  C i t y,  compare

Way beyond this vale, so empty

Full of fear and despair.

 

 

Most cults build their castle’s wide

Their dream cities and such,

This is it!  For this life only.

Why bother?  Why keep in touch?

 

 

“Let not your heart be  t r o u b l e d,”  Christ said,

“Fear not!  I am with you  a l w a y s!”

Eternal Life awaits you, meanwhile,

Have hope through remaining days!

 

 

“In My Father’s house,” soon you will see

M a n y  homes await!

Lots of space in the Heavens above!

Forever joy!  What a  d a t e!

 

 

No tears  u p  there!  Just endless joy!

Glorious, jubilant  s o n g!

Ageless, joyous, limitlessness,

Everlastingly  b e l o n g!

ONLY A SINNER, SAVED BY GRACE

In Christian, Heaven, Jesus, Grace on May 22, 2013 at 12:02 pm

Tumultuous my thoughts as I waken!

What was that dream?  Cannot conceive!

Satanic thoughts completely capricious,

Tormentor to  d e c e i v e!

 

 

But my Lord and Master defeats him!

Satanic host  b o r n  to lose!

Forgiveness is Jesus’ signature!

Satan has such a short fuse!

 

 

Doomed to lose!  He can never win!

On the cross Jesus declared,

“This day in paradise…with me!”

Forgiveness, Jesus dared…

 

 

That thief had no chance to prove himself!

Simply, “R e m e m b e r  m e.”

One desperate cry for forgiveness,

Christ  h e a r d  decidedly!

 

 

“This day…” thief’s request was granted!

Became sin for Him there,

“The wages of sin is death!”  B o t h  died.

Has ever such love declared–

 

 

Forgiveness!  Sin’s bleeding sorrow

Recognize from  a l l  sin,

Delivered, set free, bound for Heaven!

Experience  c l e a n s i n g  within!

 

 

This thug with no way to prove himself.

What is to prove?  Grace is  f r e e!

Sinners, despicable sinners all!

Did He not die for  m e?

 

 

Then can you admit you are a sinner,

Yes, sinner but saved by grace!

Get to Heaven, see refuse up there

Then see the look on your face.

 

 

Another thief rolling in splendor there!

That was his livelihood.

Had to steal to eat, you know,

Had no chance to be good.

 

 

“Without Holiness  n o n e  can see God!”

But is this not imputed?

We are made holy by His death!

Nothing within us suited!

 

 

Are we then licensed to sin at  w i l l?

“God forbid,” Paul cried!

Take pleasure in sin, you are still a sinner!

W h y  was He  c r u c i f i e d?

 

 

Sam Cox, Crucified with Christ!

Thank you, Jesus!  06.02.09

SURE TELEPATHICALLY

In Bible, Christian, God, Lord, Salvation on May 20, 2013 at 2:34 pm

He reads  m y  mind!

Of course, He can!  He made it!

He does not  m-a-k-e  me think His thoughts

Nor  c-a-n  I contradict it!

 

 

Contradict?  But first I must know,

What God is saying truly,

And if my life is a contradiction.

Thoughts too are unruly!

 

 

God says  m-o-r-e  than the Bible tells us!

And here  f-a-l-s-e  teachers flourish!

The unprincipled, the  i g n o r a n t

On this truly  n o u r i s h!

 

 

Just they who, “Delight in the Lord abide,”

Abiding in Him we  d-e-l-i-g-h-t!

Cannot ‘delight in’ unless we  a-b-i-d-e!

Experiencing daily on sight!

 

 

Of course, we see Him, the One we love,

Deep in your heart you can  k-n-o-w!

“Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief!”

Small children who love Him so!

 

 

“Unless we become as…” we cannot know

Him who loved us so  m-u-c-h.

He endured the torture of cruel death

From  s-o-m-e  who had felt His touch!

 

 

M a n y  who had felt the Healing touch

Who slipped back into old  w-a-y-s,

As Israel, the backsliding heifer, (*)

Went sinning, the rest of her days!

 

 

Does not the word suggest as much?

The backsliding (one who once knew),

Had an intimate knowledge at one time.

Does not the word construe?

 

 

Seems tragically  i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e  to

Know salvation then skid

As far back into old ways of  s i n!

Like, Satan won the  b-i-d.

 

 

Liking the thought (of what he threw up)

Assimilating again!

Savoring, enjoying this time again

The sickening taste of sin!

 

 

(*) Hosea 4:16
