You Are A Blessing

 

I will save you
to be a blessing

do not fear
let your hands be strong

speaking the truth
to one another

letting justice and peace
take the place of wrong.

**********

You are with me so I am a blessing.

**********

“And it shall come to pass that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, let your hands be strong.”

“These are the things you shall do: speak each man the truth to his neighbor; give judgement in your gates for truth, justice, and peace;”

“let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; and do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate.”

Zechariah 8:3,16,17 NKJV

With Love

 

Stand fast
in the faith

be brave
be strong

doing all you do
with love

the whole
day long.

**********

You are with me so I can stand fast and love.

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong .”

“Let all that you do be done with love.”

1 Corinthians 16:13,14 NKJV

Grace Strength

“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”  2 Timothy 2:1

We can lift weights to get strong.

Lord, help me lay aside the weight of my pride and self-righteousness so that I can be strong in the ways You desire me to be.   And here’s a simple poem . . .

Heavily Coated

source – blogs.longwood.edu

It flies in the face
of our flesh, this thing
called grace

taking away the sting
of us living as
human beings

coating us so heavily
undeservedly, unexpectedly
that we stagger

under the freedom
of learning to walk
bowed down.
