Good Comfort

 

We will be of
good comfort

we will be of
one mind

living in peace
becoming complete

by the grace of
Jesus Christ.

**********

You are with me and complete me.

**********

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”

2 Corinthians 13:11,14 NKJV

Be Spent

 

Let me spend
and be spent

for the sake of
other’s souls

not being a
burden but

loving
them so.

**********

“And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you.”

“And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.”

2 Corinthians 12:14,15 NKJV

Only One

 

There is only
one gospel

one Jesus
to believe

only one
Spirit

to regard
and receive.

**********

You are with me and expose what’s false.

**********

“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”

“For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted – you may well put up with it.”

2 Corinthians 11:3,4 NKJV

Whom The Lord Commemds

 

Lord let me not fall
into comparisons

or struggle to
commend

knowing only
Your approval

is what matters
in the end.

**********

You are with me and teach me not to compare myself with others.

**********

“For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”

“For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.”

2 Corinthians 10:12,18 NKJV

Supplied

 

We have an abundance
for every good work

as You make all grace
abound

supplying seed to sow
and bread for food

thanksgiving on our lips
is found.

**********

I am supplied for You are with me.

***********

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work.”

“Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.”

2 Corinthians 9:8,10 NKJV

The Accepted Time

 

Now is
the accepted time

now
is the day

if ever there be
a perfect time

it’s now
to be saved.

**********

You are with me in the now moments.

**********

“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.”

2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV

Not For Ourselves

 

We are compelled
by Your love

knowing You died
for everyone

so we can live
not for ourselves

but for You
God’s Righteous Son.

**********

You are with me so I can live for You.

**********

“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if one died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NKJV

The Eternal Things

 

This present
affliction

is working good
in me

honing
my instincts

to look for the
unseen.

**********

You are with me eternally.

**********

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.”

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NKJV

Unveiled

 

All praise to God
for He has taken

away the veil
so we can see

and be transformed
by the Spirit

into who He made us
to truly be.

**********

I am being transformed day by day, for You are with me.

**********

“Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 NKJV

Diffusion

 

We carry with us
the fragrance of Your knowledge

wherever we go
into every life.

Oh thank You God
for how You lead us

always in triumph
always in Christ.

**********

You are with me, touching lives wherever I go.

**********

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Chriat, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV
