Rain In It’s Season

 

You’ll receive rain
in its season

as you lovingly
reverence Me

having bread to eat
and peace to hold

with you I’ll
always be.

Lord, I desire to lovingly obey and live in awe of You each day.

“You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.”

“If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,”

“then I will give you rain in its season. . .”

“You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.”

“I will give you peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid.”

“I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.”

I know of
your love for Me

how you share
your faith

now welcome back
those I send

that once made your
heart ache.

Heirs Of Hope

 

We’ve been justified
by His grace

heirs to the hope
of eternal life

though we too
we’re once deceived

now the Spirit’s poured on us
through Jesus Christ.

**********

I am an heir to hope for You are with me.

**********

“For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived . . .”

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared “

“not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit “

“whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,”

“that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Titus 3:3,4,5,6,7. NKJV

When the unexplainable
happens

and we don’t
understand

help us remember
how great is Your love

that we’re still in
Your hand.

**********

I can pause when bad things happen and remember how much You love me, for You are with me.

**********

“In God we boast all day long, and praise Your name forever.” Selah

The Goal

 

Love
from a pure heart

from a good conscience
from sincere faith

not giving need to
senseless disputes

but to godly edification
and grace.

***********

I can follow good godly instruction for You are with me.

**********

“. . .nor to pay attention to legends (fables, myths), and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation and meaningless arguments rather than advancing God’s program of instruction which is grounded in faith [and requires surrendering the entire self to God in absolute trust and confidence].”

“But the goal of our instruction is love [which springs] from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

1 Timothy 1:4,5 AMP

How Merciful

 

How merciful
You are to me

how kind are You
Jesus

for You filled me
with Your love

and showed me how
to trust.

**********

You are with me and have mercy on me.

***********

“But God had mercy on me because I didn’t know what I was doing, for I didn’t know Christ at that time.”

“Oh, how kind our Lord was, for He showed me how to trust Him and become full of the love of Christ Jesus.”

1 Timothy 1:13,14 TLB

My Son.
