The Resurrection And The Life

 

Don’t be afraid
to uncover

what you’ve thought
was dead

for I am
the resurrection

and bring things to life
again.

You establish resurrected life.

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’ Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?’ ” John 11:25,26,39,40 NKJV

He Loves

“Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, ‘Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.’ ”  John 11:3  NKJV

I sometimes forget how very much He loves us . . .loves me.

Thank You, Lord, for loving us always.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

We are the ones, Lord
the ones that You love

the ones that are sick
that You constantly think of

the ones that You made
and know inside and out

the ones who”ll bring You glory
as You call us to come out!

God bless you, the one whom He loves!

Sometimes Love Waits

“This sickness is not unto death, but for the Glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” John 11:4
“Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” John 11:5
“So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” John 11:6

Sometimes love waits.

Thank You, Lord, for teaching me about a love that submits to what is greater than it. And here’s a simple poem . . .

But For The Glory of God

Jesus didn’t run right to them
the moment that they called
but waited knowing God
had a better plan for all
that though they would grieve
and misunderstand
God’s glory would wipe it away
when Lazarus breathed again.
