Jesus is the GOOD SHEPHERD

0221.jpg

Gentle lamb who took away my sins

Omnipotent; he is mighty and all powerful

Omnipresent; he is everywhere

Daily Provider of all my needs

Sees my triumphs and my tears

Hears my sobs and my quiet laughter

Ever with me and never forsaking me

Prince of peace, joy and love

Holds all things in place, the earth and the universe

Eyes ever watchful for wandering souls to save

Remains forever in my heart, my soul, and my life

Deliverer of hope, restoration, and eternal salvation

Friday Verse Journal Colossians 2:6-7

 

118

Through prayer, contemplation, and in my daily faith walk with Jesus, I am continually being revived and renewed by the Spirit. That is when I do take the time to just be with Jesus; to just be still and remember he is God. And then just let his cherished words seep inside of my heart and spirit. I have also been recently reminded through my personal Bible study to not let others judge me. Some judge and draw inaccurate conclusions without taking time to understand and I have see this a lot recently. It is very hurtful but there is no point to try to explain to some because I can tell they are just set on what they believe.

For my part, I am trying my best to do what I believe God is teaching me through my personal study, sermons, daily endurance, and the wisdom of other believers. Along with that I am being challenged to continue on a Thankfulness Journey which I have embarked on even when trouble brews and precious plans go awry.  On the other hand, God has shown me love and gentleness through the love, kindness, and generosity of others. Due to a recent blizzard for instance, a loving family took me into their home providing warm shelter and warm meals when I could not safely travel home. Therefore, God gives me plenty of reasons to remain thankful.

Again, this is two days late, but I am being determined not let another obstacle get in my way of posting a new verse for this week. As I have said, I am making a determined effort to continue with the attitude of thankfulness in my mind, soul and heart.

Colossians 2:6-7 (Holy Bible English Standard Version):

“Therefore, as your received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”

Journeying FORWARD into the New Year

004

Facing boldly the unknown future

Overcoming obstacles and barriers

Remembering that God is always with me

Walking with Jesus forever beside me

Achieving new dreams; reaching new heights

Renewing friendships and strengthening family ties

Determined to press on in love, peace, and joy of life

Rejoicing at CHRISTMAS Time

030

 

Although this is a week late, i still wanted to post a new Christmas poem. Due to computer trouble, I have not been posting here and am currently using an old computer until I get the other one fixed or replaced. A valuable lesson to learn is to be diligent about backing up your data!!  I didn’t have everything backed up so have lost some very valuable work. Or at least it was to me. So I am trying to recover what I can. Anyway, I hope everyone who reads this had a very blessed and wonderful Christmas with friends and families. And I hope you’re all enjoying a wonderful New Year too.

Celebration of Jesus’ birth

Heavenly angels sang on earth

Redeemer lived and walked among us

Immanuel, Immanuel is our Lord Jesus

Shepherds came with their flocks of sheep

Traveling wise men journeyed far to see

Manger is where Jesus quietly laid

Atop a mattress of straw and hay

Savior Jesus was humbly born early on Christmas morn

Friday Verse Journal Matthew 6:6

039

PRAYER: Spending Time with God

Personal conversation and

Reflection with God, my Heavenly Father

Admission of sin and plea for forgiveness and mercy

Yesterday’s generous blessings remembered

Everyday needs requested and met through God’s perfect grace

Remembering always God’s greatness and never ending love through Jesus

 

Matthew 6:6 (Holy Bible New International Version):

“But when you prayer, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.  Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Becky’s Song: Come, God Told Me

 

039

(Tune: Little Drummer Boy):

 

“Come,” God told me, “come see my Son

Come to Jesus the King, come see my Son”

“But I am unworthy,” I cried to him,

“Not wanted and unloved so

Why should I come?

Why should I come?

Why should I come?”

“Because I know you child and so does my Son;

And you are loved by him.”

 

“Oh, King Jesus, God told me to come

But I am not worthy to stand before your throne

I’m utterly sinful and so unwanted,

Wretched, unlovable so

Why should I come?

Why should I come?

Why should I come?”

“Because I have forgiven you, oh don’t you see?

I will make you be holy through me.”

 

Then God nodded as he was pleased

To see me come fully believing in Thee.

Jesus came then to live in my heart.

Jesus promised to stay and

Never ever depart

Never ever depart

Never ever depart.

For God so love this world, oh can you see?

He sent Jesus to save you and me.

 

John 3:16-17 (Holy Bible New International Version):

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him.”

 

Living with HOPEFULNESS

456

Heavenward and unfaltering gaze

Of optimism and unceasing praise

Persevering in God’s work of love

Empowered by His Spirit which has descended like a dove

Filled with gladness all the day long

Uttering thankfulness in word and song

Listening to the Lord with open mind and heart

Never forgetting his word; not letting his wisdom depart

Ever mindful of Jesus’ death and resurrection and our eternal future

Saved forever from our humanly faulty and sinful nature

Savior Jesus will come soon and lead us to his everlasting home.

Becky’s Song: In the Beginning God was there

092903_1617[00]

 

In the beginning God was there, he created the heavens and earth.

In the beginning God was there; he gave this world its’ watery birth.

In the beginning God commanded the light.

In the beginning God made this dark world so bright.

Chorus:

In the beginning, in the beginning,

God was there, yes God was there

In the beginning, in the beginning,

God was there and he is always here.

Verses 2 to 5:

In the beginning God made the vast blue sky

In the beginning he made the birds that soar and fly.

In the beginning God made the oceans, rivers, and seas

In the beginning, he made all the small and great fish you see

Chorus

In the beginning, God made the land, flowers, and trees

In the beginning he made all the creatures that roam free

In the beginning God created mankind

In the beginning he made them to be like him

Chorus

In the beginning God had a plan

In the beginning he had a way save man from sin

In the beginning God set his plan forth

In the beginning he purposed for Jesus to come to earth

Chorus

In the beginning God sent Jesus to show his love

And to teach of his mercies from far above

In the beginning God destined his only son to come down

In the beginning he sent him to die wearing a crown of thorns

Chorus

In the beginning, God was already designing a new home

For all who believe to come and live with him

In the beginning God so deeply loved man

In the beginning he had a plan to save all mankind.

Chorus
