Rolled Away

 

Every stone
will be rolled away

  so that you
can see

I am
who I say I am

so now help others
believe.

You establish my belief.

“And they said among themselves, ‘Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?’ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away – for it was very large.” Mark 16:3,4 NKJV

Commending

source – Wikipedia

“So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.”  Acts 14:23 NKJV

Commend means to put in the care of another; to entrust. (Webster’s New World Dictionary)

Thank You , Lord, for being so trustworthy. And here’s a simple poem . . .

We can only do
what we can do

for it’s never really
about us

giving others
to the Lord

trusting in the grace
of Jesus.

God bless you as you commend someone to Him today!

Blessed To Believe

 

 

“Jesus said to him, ‘Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed.  Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.'” John 20:29  NKJV

“And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 

but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”  John 20:30-31  NKJV

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be with Jesus like His disciples were.

Thank You, Lord, for blessing each one who hears and believes.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

These things are written
that we may believe

that Jesus is
the Christ

for blessed are those
who not seeing, believe

and in His name
have life.

God bless your life in His name!

Be Believing

“Then He said to Thomas, ‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here , and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing’.” John 20:27

The world around us grows more and more distrusting and cynical.

Thank You, Jesus, for giving us every reason to believe You and trust You. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Unless We See

Thomas wasn’t there
when You first came
he hadn’t seen for himself
the truth the others claimed.

You didn’t rebuke him
but made sure he knew as well
that You were indeed alive –
Good News to spread and tell.

From God

“If this man were not from God, He could do nothing” John 9:33

I can’t do anything either, without God.

Thank You, Lord, for giving us work to do with You. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Sent For This

Blind from birth
but now he sees

the people murmur
how can this be

as Jesus does
all He’s sent to do

with another now believing
the Son of God is true.

Owning It

“And many more believed because of His own word.” John 4:41
“Then they said to the woman, ‘Now we believe, not because of what you said for we have heard for ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world’.” John 4:42

We’ve seen giraffes on t.v. and know they are tall. Seeing them close up at the zoo makes that fact more personally real.

Lord, we thank You for the testimony of others and for giving us each a testimony of our own. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Testimonies

We hear and believe
by their testimony
and our faith
takes wing.
Then Jesus comes
to us personally
and our faith
now sings.
