Truly believe and be
Ready to receive
Unconditional love from the
Savior who lives above but descends to
Touch the heart like a gently swooping dove.

Jesus is the GOOD SHEPHERD
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

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
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
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
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
(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
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.

In the beginning God commanded the light.
In the beginning God made this dark world so bright.

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

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 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

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

Holy, living, and truthful word
Tenderly showing the only path to everlasting life

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
