<span style="color: #6aa84f;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />This verse is written with all my love and the message I've taken from God's word. Abundant in mercy that's fresh each day, He warns all His children to stay alert. The enemy comes to steal, to kill, and destroy, and he causes us to trust in his lies, his pleasures last only for a season, and eternity without God is the price. We must wait patiently for God alone to prepare our hearts to hear, while we wander the wilderness in a desolate way, in the shadow of His wing He keeps us near. Then out of the darkness we cry to God and He hears from His holy hill, we must give thanks for His work of deliverance, He calms the storm, now the waves are still. May the Good Lord answer in your day of trouble May the God of Jacob defend you May He grant according to your heart's desire, May your soul thirst always for the God who saved you. Jesus our savior paid for our sins for His love is exceedingly broad. He is ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and end, before the world was there was GOD.</span>Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-84851074745373732132011-11-21T10:18:00.006-05:002011-11-21T12:57:49.060-05:00The Days Before Christmas<span style="color:#990000;">'Twas the days before Christmas and all over the town<br />Folks were hurrying and scurrying, wearing a frown.<br />They dashed through one shop and on to the next<br />And with each one they became more vexed.<br /><br />The children made lists of toys seen on T.V.<br />Knowing each one would be under the tree.<br />Mom and Dad like puppets on a string<br />Went here and there 'till they had everything.<br /><br />Then all of a sudden ' fore you could say santa claus<br />The reason for the season caused everyone to pause.<br />Moms and Dads and the children too,<br />Realized for others many things they could do.<br /><br />They drew chairs ' round the table with such a clatter<br />All of one mind for this very important matter.<br />Away to the townsfolk their minds just flew,<br />Putting down names for toys,clothing,and food.<br /><br />They knew many names to be put on the list<br />And called on friends so none would be missed.<br />With the love of Jesus overflowing their hearts,<br />They cried for the needy,their list was quite large.<br /><br />They provided for the hungry,for many athrist,<br />Forgetting themselves,the needy came first.<br />The naked were clothed,visits made to the sick,<br />From many wrapped gifts each child had their pick.<br /><br />' Twas the night before Christmas and all over the town,<br />Happy faces were beaming,not one wore a frown.<br />The spirit of giving had touched one and all,<br />For they'd seen the cross and they heard Jesus call.</span>Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-27072847082725066592011-11-21T09:44:00.004-05:002011-11-21T12:56:48.045-05:00Jesus Lives On<span style="color:#33cc00;">Oh so many years ago in a manger strewn with hay<br />God gave the world their savior,His birth we honor this day.<br />Born of a virgin,raised as a poor carpenter's son<br />Our Heavenly Father had given us Christ Jesus the sinless one.<br />The sky was filled with angels singing praises to His name<br />Christ the Lord our savior is born in Bethlehem.<br />Shepherds came from many fields into this little town<br />Telling the news to all they met,soon it was known for miles around.<br />A bright eastern star shown over the earth,<br />Leading three wise-men to the place of His birth.<br />They rejoiced and were glad as they worshipped Him,<br />Giving treasures of gold,myrrh,and frankincense.<br />Now there's not much known of His earlier years<br />But the world soon knew the Messiah was here.<br />He went about the land doing wondrous deeds,<br />Such as healing the sick,making the blind to see.<br />At about thirty and three and still in His prime<br />He was arrested and crucified having committed no crime.<br />God promised when kings were reigning He would send the Holy one<br />The man they nailed to the cross was His only begotten son.<br />But in just three days God raised Him from the dead<br />He had many followers, many disciples He led.<br />We were cleansed by His dying once and for all<br />Willingly He gave Himself to God,and not by law.<br />The priests that were worshipped for ever so long<br />Are dead and forgotten but our Jesus lives on.<br />He will come back to earth not to pay for our sins<br />But to gather God’s children, those waiting for Him.<br />When the trumpet sounds from Heaven above<br />We will shout Hallelujah!,if we are wrapped in His love.</span>Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-10780754228510973752010-09-26T09:08:00.000-04:002010-09-26T09:09:12.488-04:00Unconditional LoveI now am old and my hair has turned grey<br />And I can no longer bend my knees to pray.<br />But though I can’t talk to Him in that position<br />God’s word declares He hears no matter my condition.<br />And I know He won’t forsake me when my strength is gone<br />For He’s the hope and refuge for those my age and beyond.<br />And even now as in the many years past<br />He knows my needs before I ask.<br />And for whatever time I have left on this earth<br />I want to tell others about the new birth.<br />I must tell them of Jesus who died for their sins<br />Then reach out with love and bring them to Him.Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-44631545970341664272007-04-29T12:46:00.000-04:002007-04-30T19:25:11.541-04:00BEHOLD

out His plan.<br />He came down to earth to bring us peace,<br />To tell us the only way Heaven is reached.<br />Jesus suffered, then died on the cross,<br />His deep love for us, the only cause.<br />Great drops of blood flowed from within,<br />Cleansing each of us of every sin.<br />We must trust in Him and live by faith,<br />Showing our love, giving Him praise.<br />There’s a great day coming, it’s drawing near,<br />The Lamb will part the clouds, the trumpet we’ll hear.<br />He’ll gather God’s children then be homeward bound,<br />We’ll stroll over Heaven on golden ground.

AWAKENING<span style="color:#009900;">I've never sensed such peace,never felt quite so serene<br />As when I wakened with the dawn to find Jesus there with me.<br />I watched Him lift the sun above

silvery best.<br />He softly whispered to the fields,He gently touched the trees,<br />And asked them oh so kindly to awaken with a breeze.<br />And as I watched and listened,my soul became entranced.<br />Cause the awakening I had witnessed,wasn't done by chance.<br />For all Of God's creation,who rely on His great name,<br />Jesus never touches anything,and leaves it quite the same.</span>Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-62141442504944396422007-03-24T12:50:00.001-04:002007-03-24T13:03:02.735-04:00FEELING

to Jesus,He helps me handle one and all.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">The light from His love puts sunshine in my soul</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">And I know my face reflects God's glory with a glow.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">His Holiness lasts forever,His Mercy is fresh each day</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">So I walk and talk with Jesus,In His love I want to stay.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">I walk and talk with Him,I call Him day or night</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Though darkness may surround me,with Him there's always light.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">I know that I'm forgiven, for my sins He did atone</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">And as long as I have Jesus I'll never walk alone.</span>Gordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02698993618893098876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267248034078141293.post-71363321190123488272007-03-16T13:48:00.000-04:002007-03-16T14:43:26.924-04:00ALL
