Col. 3-4

To honour Christ l will strive.

In this world while I’m alive

Do do all things right.

In my holy Gods sight.

If in worlds things l am caught

Then my faith counts for naught

So put to death all of them.

Live a holy life amongst men.

You are to live just like him.

Who you put your faith in.

Doesn’t matter who you are.

Who Christ is matters by far.

Humble gentle forgiving too.

Reveals that Christ is in you.

Then peace of Christ does come.

As you too join with everyone.

And sing together in one accord

Praise and worship to our Lord.

Live with those close to you.

Faithful to Christ in all you do.

In prayer throughout the day.

That both us and them will say.

How blessed are we to know you.

That we might be encouraged too.

John. 17:13-26

Now as Christ is with the Father.

In this world would much rather.

Live in unity with him.

And all who Christ lives in.

That his glory may be shown.

And the love of God become known

Everything may seem wrong

Don’t worry for we don’t belong.

To this world we live in now.

As to our Saviour we do bow.

And then in one accord.

We see the glory of the Lord.

God will be only then.

Honoured amongst all men.

Ps. 148:1-6

Praise the Lord in everything.

Worship and praise to him bring.

For he created all there is.

He can rightfully claim it is his.

Prov. 29:11-15

Wisdom of the wise.

Never fails never dies.

Nov. 12

2Chron. 1-4

It was now time to build a temple.

It would glorify God and resemble.

All that he is to me

A place glorious to be.

That we might come before.

The holy God we adore.

And worship him.

Who forgives our sin

John. 10:22-42

But now in Gods temple.

What shows does not resemble.

The power of Jesus name.

Because of unbelief and shame.

But there will still be some.

Who see what God has done.

Believing all he says.

While some reject his ways.

While l will always believe.

His blessing to receive.

Ps. 83:1-8

Lord God please speak out.

Help me to have no doubt.

For all the enemy.

Seems to surround me.

Prov. 26:13-16

Those who do not care.

Don’t work to be God near.

Nov. 2 Sunday. Change.

Gen. 5:22-24

As Enoch did.

If I do as God bid.

God will say anew.

I’m always with you.

Hebs. 11:5

I am taken away.

By what God did say.

To place he did send.

From those who did commend.

2Kings. 2:1-12

Where God is leading me too.

Is not really now for you.

Now I will cross a river

Where God can now deliver

Take me to this high place.

Of fear honour and grace.

Now God can imbue

Faith to all of you

Acts. 1:9-11

All men will see.

As watch intently.

As Christ confides

In me he abides.

Receiving promise due.

Something completely new.

April. 2 healing

Lev. 13-14 health

The Lord does see

when disease hits me.

Listen and he will say

how to survive the day.

Follow my instruction

and destroy contamination.

Be clean once again

Healed of illness and pain.

He always knows best.

In him you find rest.

Luke. 21:1-7

Jesus does admire

when walking the high wire.

When you honour him

and still give your offering.

What little you give

reveals how you live.

Then when I see

magnificence around me.

And want to win

and celebrate in.

I need to know

none of these go

when you face that day

when God takes you away.

Ps. 25:1-7

Lord I give my life to you.

I trust in all that you can do.

Don’t let me be in disgrace

when the enemy I face.

Show me the way

So I will be okay.

Forgetting my past

let your love last.

Prov. 9:17-18

I don’t believe in

false medicine.

What do I see as impossible to me ?
The door locked and thrown away key.
Maybe others also judge it is so .
Set in his ways he won't make a go.
Learnt to depend on riches and hard work.
Overcoming all and never one to shirk.
Self-satisfaction and pride in his wealth.
No need of support, outside of himself.
Sometimes I think such a gulf to cross.
Yet to have gold , must rid the dross.
Not that standards are so ridged or hard.
It's my heart keeps playing the wrong card.
For try as I may to live the right way.
The real me ends up having a say.
Controls all I am and what I am like.
Feels like the boy with finger in dyke.
Impossible the odds, it really does seem.
Is possible? Oh Lord what do you mean.
Then there is the thought of just who am I?
A nobody really, I admit with a sigh.
No great education, strength, or ability.
Others see old man now reaching senility.
Lived long life of no particular acclaim.
Or success.  I have to admit in the main.
Yet my hope in this verse so improbable.
Against all odds says nothing impossible.
In fact I know when impossible achieved ,
is the very time the gospel is believed.
This gives me hope and changes my heart.
Realising that even I can take some part.
Unworthy, unlikely, unexpected no doubt.
Why would he know what his God is about?
With men it is impossible what it does say.
With God all things possible even today.
When I feel inadequate and others decry.
I tell myself the scriptures never do lie.
Maybe not acclaimed in the news of the day.
God's purposes are so often hidden away.
Not world's logical view of people like me.
And I have to say I'm inclined to agree.
Then I remember those disciples long ago.
Jesus chose them which just goes to show.
Any things possible is what he would say.
Just follow me and let me lead the way.
Naysayers may scoff and say I'm a dope.
Give me courage Lord for you're my hope.
I will risk being different to what they see in me.
From this worlds restrictions please make me free.

I heard the familiar story, told again today.

Again it challenged me, in a special way.

Of a rebellious son, and a father’s pain.

Imagine, what neighbours were saying.

Then foolish son sees the failure he is.

Father overjoyed, greets with a kiss.

And then of course, we cannot forget.

Older brother, who is so very upset.

The challenge laid down, again to hear.

Seems so simple,so obvious,and so clear.

Or is there more than first meets the eye?

I have to ask the question. Just who am I?

Rebellious son , want to take what is mine.

Enjoy life selfishly, thinking all will be fine.

Wasted and squandered so many years,

In heartache, disappointment, and in tears.

Came back knowing, I have little to give.

Can I do something, will Father forgive?

“who has given to God that he should repay”

The Father gives gladly, is what bible does say.

But I also are cast in the fathers role.

I see my children, and fear for each soul.

I worry they might make bad choices again.

My fault surely, as Dad, I feel totally to blame.

Will they come home, when desperate and sad?

I to welcome and greet with heart that is so glad.

Or could I be like elder brother, so bitter and surly?

Consistent, loyal, hardworking,and so trustworthy.

So why would I celebrate a brother like him.

Whole life from beginning steeped in such sin.

Yes Father may forgive, and have a great heart.

But no way, can I forget the past, for my part.

So just who am I in this story, told to illustrate.

Our response to life is neither fickle nor fate.

Rebellious son, loving father, brother in a stew.

Your true heart revealed, the world will see you.

Each character I know, has at sometime been me.

Yet God knew my weakness, and has set me free.

I celebrate with all who have now come to know.

Our God’s love and forgiveness, he did bestow.

It is there for the asking, just turn up it would seem.

A party for all, beyond expectation, or wildest dream.
