The son I never lost!

He has passed away as some may say; God did save his soul,

I have no dismay.

At the age of 52 he was younger than me and many of you.

He was so loved by his Grandma, my Mom, she considered him

like Jesus, God’s right arm.

She said he was sent from above, an object of God’s love.

Even though he is with you Lord, does it still hurt yet? You bet!

He is with all our loved ones above, those who Jesus has set free from

Satan’s Kingdom, the prisoners, delivered by his Love.

We do not sorrow as the world does for their own, those without faith,

having  no hope for tomorrow.

Living in a time when hope is veiled, we have God’s sure word,

his love never fails!

God is love and always true to believers, me and you, trust not in the arm

of flesh which will always fail, have faith in Jesus Christ and on the wings

of Eagles you will sail!

Adam died yet he still speaks as Jesus did say, my son does also, by the way.

 

So he is the God of the living, not the dead, for they are all alive to him.” Luke 20:38 NLT.

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. John 11:25 NLT.

Did I hear a knock? A poem

Was there someone knocking on my door? I do remember them, they had been here before.

This woman is starting to annoy me, an Attorney with her I did not see, I wish she would stop bugging me.

She comes before me every day with the same complaint, by the way, how can I make her just go away?

I am a Judge who can rule yay or nay but this woman is here to stay, what can I do to keep her out of my way?

Oh, now I see it, now I know, I’ll rule in her favor and then she will go!

But this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!  Luke 18:5 NLT.

Jesus used this example of the unjust Judge ruling for this poor woman who didn’t have an Attorney. He said this to encourage Christians to keep knocking, keep asking through prayer.

Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? Luke 18:7 NLT

Nice guys finish last, really?
Do you mean the other kind treats you fine? You may think that after drinking some wine. Maybe you should consider asking the Divine to send the one to get on your mind? Who with you will go, with them, much joy will flow. You need someone who will deny himself, your feelings in him will be heartfelt! Nice guys do not finish last, those who are in Christ truly have class. Those who are last shall be first, when you know Jesus, you will not thirst. *When of the Lord you have asked, he will send to you one whose love will last.
*True love gives rather than takes, God’s Holy Spirit gives this gift of love to every believer.
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them 1-John 4:16 NLT.

Esther, what a knockout!
King Ahasuerus, from his harem did pick a Queen, she was something that many eyes had not seen. *Queen of Persia she became, everyone knew her name. A wicked man named Haman caught the King’s ear, the plot he hatched caused Esther much fear. Her cousin Mordecai, his life was on the line, for he to hang on the gallows, Haman thought was just fine. He was in for a surprise, God has sent Esther to the King to reveal his lies. Through Haman the King had issued his decree, death to all the Jews, Esther knew it included she. She dressed up in her beautiful robes and makeup. Her goal was to stop Haman, his plan to shakeup. Boldly into the Kings inner chamber she did go, uninvited, to do this was death she did know.
The King was smitten by her beauty and attire, His Queen he did much admire. His heart melted that day, to her, half his Kingdom he gave away! She told the King she was a Jew, she did not lie, and for her people, she was willing to die. She and her people were saved, the Bible tells us so, to the gallows the evil Haman did go.
*In this story of Esther I see the Church in all its Beauty and glory. Loved by the Father, purchased by the Son as a chaise Bride, without spot or wrinkle.
And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Romans 8:17 NLT
The Book of Esther is a great Old Testament read, by the way!

A cursed earth but with hope!

 

What beauty the first man did see, it is not

seen today by you and me.

What happened to it all, it disappeared in

one day, lost in the fall.

God had said; “Let there be light” in this

he did delight!

Tend to my garden the Lord said to Adam

and Eve to do, enjoy the life I gave to you.

Satan said; in no way this will stand,

I will possess their land.

Your will they will not do, they will obey

me and not you.

What you told them I will twist and deceive,

I will overcome the woman Eve.

She will believe the lie I tell, she will

convince Adam as well!

Where is your beautiful garden now, God

has ejected you with a vow.

A curse he has given, no more peaceful living.

Now the bee does sting, there is enmity between

you and everything.

Cain killed his brother, gone was the love for

one another.

It was by Satan, who told the first lie,

and through that, Able did die, when sin came, man had the blame.

Woe is me is all we can say, but God loved his

creation, by the way.

To Adam he did say, Satan through your sin,

had won the day.

I will send my Son; he will plunder your Kingdom,

many souls will be won, by the way!
After my Son’s 1000 year reign on this earth,

a new Planet and Heavens will have its birth.

 

Note: At this time the earth is still cursed, as the Apostle Paul wrote; “The whole creation groans

waiting for the lifting of this curse” (Paraphrased).

After Adam and Eve sinned, God pronounced a

punishment that is still in effect today. Adam no longer

was the constant Gardner, hard work and sweat was his

to stay. Eve would have increased pain in childbirth

along with her husband having domination over her.

In the Lord’s 1000 year reign, this punishment will be lifted, in Christ men and women will be equal, as it was in the Garden before the fall. Today, God’s will for the believer is marriage should be one made in Heaven as Paul stated in the Book of Ephesians, the husband loving his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave his life for it and the woman honoring and respecting her husband as if he was the Lord Jesus himself! We do not see this in the unbelieving world today and should not expect to as God’s ways are not our ways. The Father is over Christ, Christ is over the man and the man is over the woman. “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ” 1-Corinthians 11:3 NASB.
