I saw the Lord today, a poem

I saw the Lord today, in His glory, my heart did sway.

His eyes were shining and Him I did adore, He is altogether lovely,

Every day, I love Him more and more.

Then I realized, in a mirror I did see, it was His image I saw in me.

If you want to see Jesus today, look at those who follow the way.

They are all in one accord; their hearts do follow the Lord.

They deny themselves, not counting the cost.

They are walking with the Lord, the way of the Cross.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit (2-Corinthians 3:18 NASB)

After Moses came down from the mountain of God with the Commandments written on stone tablets. He had to wear a veil because the glory from the Lord on his face was fading. How beautiful the Lord revealed that the New Testament believers would have that glory that would not fade away. (The Law as Paul wrote, was a schoolmaster to lead you to Christ. It cannot save you, but it will reveal how far away you are from God with your sins. No one can keep the Law, only Jesus the God man did). For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17 NLT).

I Remember Dad, a poem

I remember my Wife’s Dad.

Not tall in stature, but a big heart he had.

A strong man was he, though meek in mind, In God’s word, those like him you will find.

Little things he did for his peace of mind.

His garden was just fine!

Strong drinks he did decline, all he wanted, was his old Italian wine.

He loved to hear sermons on the radio, through his good works, Jesus did show.

He was not a man of many words and slow to speak.

If you needed advice it was him to seek.

His generosity was great for all to see, he pleased the Lord and you and me.

Gone is he to Heaven above, much missed by those he loved.

He loved his garden, he loved his wine but most of all, he loved Jesus—the vine.

“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing (John 15:5)

God is good, a poem. Jesus, the reason for the season.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6 NASB).

God is good, God is fine.

One day with Him, we will drink the new wine.

Sorrows came our way, some bitterness did grow, but greater Grace was there, I now know.

Jesus the Captain of my Soul, His love and care for me, I did behold.

In our Marriage the winds did blow, the troubles did not hide, the Rock of Ages, in His hands we did abide.

When leaning on Him, our strong arm, anxiety is gone, no cause for alarm.

To this gentile couple did the Jewish Messiah come, through His Mercy and Grace, our hearts He won!

Isaiah said: “A light to the Gentiles” He would be, at Christmas time, this is what we see.

Silent night, behold the light, Word of the Father born tonight.

Born to Israel as the Prophets foretold, the King of Kings, Jesus whose days were from old.

He is the reason for the season and presents are given, only through Him, sins are forgiven.

Our Gift From God, a Poem

This Poem is dedicated to our Son. When it seemed impossible for us to have our first child, my Wife
wept.  Then we prayed to the Lord for help. The Lord heard and the next month our boy was on the way. We dedicated him to Jesus. This poem is what we saw the Lord do for our first Son. ( 1 Samuel 1: 27 ) I asked the Lord to give me this boy and he has granted my request. This was our special scripture for his dedication at the Church.

Your words as a boy surprised us so, the Lord was with you, this we did know.

Your faith was a light, not by power or might.

At eight years old, you were very bold, what amazed us was the things you told.

The things of God’s Spirit you did know and in His grace you did grow.

The Lord blessed you with the love of your life, He gave to you, your Wife.

She is quiet and meek, not too shy, still waters run deep.

They think as one, loving you Father for sending your Son.

Deep trials they do bare, the pain, they do share, knowing they are in your care.

Casting all Your Care Upon Him, For He Cares For You!

Another prayer I spoke to Him today, I was heavily burdened, with so much to say.

Lord, you promised to help me when I’m weak and it is you I do seek.

The wind is blowing softly and I am still, listening for your voice that will show me your Will.

Blue skies are shinning above, your Spirit overwhelms with your love.

The cares of this world do abound, it is through your Word that I am sound.

Are you worried today, do you despair? Take heart my friend, put yourself in His care.

Your sins He will wash away, this will be your new day!

Jesus will cause you to break out in song, you will sing I’m saved, all day long.
