MY PRAYER

MY PRAYER

That each day I draw closer to you Lord

That each day my heart like that of my Lord Jesus Christ

That each day I grow in holiness

That each day cares and worries do

Not take control of my life

That each day my knowledge of you increases

That each day I see you in all creatures

That each day I grow in humility.

My prayer to you Lord that I am what you desire me to be.

NO IS NOT REJECTION

NO IS NOT REJECTION

Dearest child you asked someone for assistance, and favour

What you get is rejection.  Some people who promised to help you

May avoid you, some may laugh at you others judge you,

it could be outright rejection.

Don’t you know dearest child of God that whoever

that says no to you saw something great in you

that you could not see.

Dearest child you do not know your worth,

For if you do you will be grateful to that man or

woman who rejects you by saying NO to you.

Must you settle for second best?

Your Heavenly Father sees your worth,

That is the reason for your being rejected.

Dearest child, the favour you ask for from men;

is it what you really desire? Or you needed a soft landing?

Your Father God, know you through and through.

Be patient, be calm, while waiting on Him.

It won’t be long.

For us human, while we wait,

it seems very long.

FEAST OF ALL SOULS

FEAST OF ALL SOULS

Psalm 23

The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God,

no torment shall ever touch them.

In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die,

their going looked like a disaster,

their leaving us, like annihilation;

but they are in peace.

If they experienced punishment as men see it,

their hope was rich with immortality;

slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be.

God has put them to the test

and proved them worthy to be with him;

he has tested them like gold in a furnace,

and accepted them as a holocaust.

When the time comes for his visitation they will shine out;

as sparks run through the stubble, so will they.

They shall judge nations, rule over peoples,

and the Lord will be their king for ever.

They who trust in him will understand the truth,

those who are faithful will live with him in love;

for grace and mercy await those he has chosen.     wisdom 3: 1-9

Psalm 23(24):1-6 ©

Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord.

 

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,

the world and all its peoples.

It is he who set it on the seas;

on the waters he made it firm.

 

Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord.

 

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who shall stand in his holy place?

The man with clean hands and pure heart,

who desires not worthless things.

Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord.

 

He shall receive blessings from the Lord

  and reward from the God who saves him.

Such are the men who seek him,

  seek the face of the God of Jacob.

 

Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord.
