11-25-15 Even So

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

John 20:21 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

EVEN SO

Our Father God sent Jesus to the earth

To save those who believe upon His name,

To bring about such miracles of worth,

There is no doubt at all upon His claim.

Our Father sent His Son to do His will,

To sacrifice His life to save His friends,

To take upon Him all our sins until

His blood could serve to cover and to cleanse.

And now the Savior sends disciples out

To save those who believe upon His name,

To show all that we meet there is no doubt

That Jesus died for them – that’s why He came.

If God sent down His Son to save mankind,

Are you not now His child and so inclined?

3-24-15 One From Two

Both man and woman did the Lord create

To compliment each other perfectly,

So when it comes for one to take a mate

Look on the other to make harmony.

When God made Eve from Adam it was good,

For man was not designed to be alone.

God made her from his side it’s understood

So he would have a helper, not to own.

Then mankind can’t survive with man on man,

And woman can’t conceive from woman, too.

The human race needs both, for that’s God’s plan;

Together to become as one from two.

As she is made for him and he for her,

The union of them both new life occurs.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,

neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:11 KJV

1-27-15 Nothing

The moment you were born you did not bring

A whit beyond the barest flesh and bone;

You do not really own a single thing

Belonging to this world of wood and stone,

And all the stuff that you accumulate,

No matter what it’s worth to mortal man,

Will still be here when you leave this estate;

In fact you’ll have the same as you began.

Be grateful for the things that you possess

For it can all be gone within a flash;

The only matter you should dare obsess

Is being more like Christ, His way suffice.

From nothing bodies come, to nothing go

Yet all you do between your soul will show.

~~~~~~~~~~~

For we brought nothing into this world, 

and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

1 Timothy 6:7 KJV
