Stars have never told a lie when wise men look unto the sky. Messages from God on high, of happiness his angels cry, Soon dawns a blessed morn. Wise men travel through a land with stately camels over sand, Their caravan majestically grand When Jesus Christ was born. Shepherds watching over sheep, baby lambs they safely keep. Some of them were fast asleep on a mountain rough and steep, Soon dawns a blessed morn. An Angel to these men appear Saying they should have no fear For the Christ child is now near, When Jesus Christ was born. To Bethlehem they journey long, Joseph with his love so strong, Mary with child had done no wrong; the baby did to God belong Soon dawns a blessed morn. This baby comes to save from sin No rooms were found in any Inn A stables all they found for him When Jesus Christ was born. A star shone brightly overhead, lighting up this humble shed, A lowly manger for his bed, the joyful news had quickly spread When dawned that blessed morn. Here wise men came and gifts did bring Shepherds bowed to their new King Mankind rejoices while angels sing When Jesus Christ was born. Contest: One of your Best 12.01.2014

He is the only King who touched my soul. In his arms, I found my self as whole. He pulls me up when I was down. He saves my soul in flaming lawn. Through His Father, the Sovereign God. He was sent to Earth with all His love. By the womb of a woman with faith and trust, A child was born ,brought a message from God. He is the light that shines my way. The inspiration to face every battle. He is the strength when I am weak. He is the closest friend I used to speak. Whenever rain pour down from the sky. I always thank God for sending a cry. I used to remember the love that's divine. For giving us His only begotten son, Jesus. ** 3rd Place Winner in Debbie Guzzi's Contest:Jesus & Mary for Easter **
by Mel Eyas Dicdican In the days of my sorrow I am wandering like a sparrow. Happy days have passed But my love for you will ever last. Thinking of you for a moment Could at least minimize my torment. Neither my love can reach you Nor my hands can touch you. Even if you are gone But I cannot forget everything you've done. I love you with all my heart And nobody could tear it apart. If only I could turn back time I would make sure to make it sublime. But I am only human to change the world And my strength cannot afford. All I know now is to cherish the past And wait until my days last. If in this world we are not meant to be Hope in the next would be you and me.
Met with you the first time, knowing not what I had just found. Working days and nights beside you, walking unit's hard ground. Helping one another in and out of these day's crisis. Trust in easy comfort sharing secrets and our vices. Blinded by your selfless nature under our same God's eyes. Colored hues of virtue burned into your soul it rides Times enduring twelves in truth and depth of pasts and yet-tos. Corners turning heads to tails in trails you doing time thru. I have watched you suffer dating burden from his cold hand, Wanting many times to tell you to break from that dead man. Wisdom needing to remind me, hope was holding you still. Losing grip, you make the change and years returning, Love will. My prayers carry wishes for you, one day's given good spouse. Under Holy Ghost's soft guidance, making your home, God's house. Sharing smiles and tears in keeping promise past the last day. Into Christ's embrace that shines you through a Heaven's gateway. Always just a thought away you will be after our end. Grateful in my heart to have been given such a rare friend.
~Perfect Love~ ( Rhyme) Looking at His world here below Feel His love fall down on us So much goodness he bestows Through Him we're so bless! Look up at the starlight Each special light designed Showing to us as bright With all His love so fine In each new day a reason See the points that shine In every life there's a season His LOVE is perfect and divine!

Laying down kindergarten knowledge for all too see Fish they have fins, and birds they have wings Standing against the crowd, boasting banners of equality Daring to discern the difference of things! You plant a seed into an egg and lo and behold something grows! A man is a man, a woman is a woman. And they call me a bigot for claiming so. (our self esteem so fragile a gentle breeze and were shattered) Unisex Toilets and Male Pronoun Hysteria 'him' and 'he' sending shivers down our spines our profound differences carelessly intertwined Servants to non-overlapping magisteria: God is Love and God Was Never Real Love is Love as well as Carnal Appeal Muddied into grayness, neither this nor that. We threw away it's importance at the drop of a hat. It's a cause for celebration when a girl becomes a wife. Not cause for demonization of a "stereotypical" life. Christ is the Head and the Man is runner up. Not chauvinism, but Scripture's order of love. Let us not degrade ourselves by boasting sameness lest we forget the gifts we're given. But be you in the Truth and there is no difference. IT'S NOT US VS. THEM! But God searching Men Women, Children. Our hearts are not hidden from his wisdom. NOTE: I never wrote about this topic before... but it's been on my mind lately. I know in this day 'n' age I'll probably be scorned for writing such a piece, but let me conclude with a quote from Voltaire: I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
There is a place you can go that is full of only love and Warmth . you will be surrounded by a light that shines from the Heavens , Sprinkles of Silver and Gold. This place is filled with brilliant colors of Purple , vibrant Gold, all colors. not one Color is less significant then another , for every color is equal here . This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers. All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another . All Flowers are equal here . It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed . For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow. No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another . money holds no value , Where you live , what you own, has no significance here . You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens . A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you . Hate will be shed at the door light a old jacket of no use. There is a place of beauty and Worth. This place will not be found on Earth . It is a place where no one person is better then another .
I'm in such a state of confusion, I don't understand what I'm doing I know your there And I know you care But I can't see you I can't hear you I just don't know what to do I know your there in the stillness, Waiting to heal this illness There is a deep hole A sickness in my soul, Disease in the depths of my heart But How to fix it I wouldn't know where to start How it came to be Is a deep mystery to me I know that I am broken We all are in some way But rarely are these things spoken Rarely do I have the courage to say The secrets kept within The depths of my sin But if I hide it how can it be healed How can the healer heal? If I keep my heart sealed What if I let down my shield? Will I be attacked or disgraced Or will I be embraced I'm too scared to find out To be found out So I hide my face I only let people see part of me I only let people get so close I don't want them to see I don't want them to know And so I end up alone I've been to the bar, the clubs, All the social hubs But no one cares about my hurts Life's all about chasing skirts, Fancy cars and nice shirts Or is there something beyond drunken nights, and flashing lights Is there something really worth living for, an open door to something more? An invitation to a new destination A path to peace, a sweet release A new life to claim, an escape from the shame I believe there is, some days I forget But my life isn't over yet Tomorrow is a new day I can live life your way With love and peace With guilt and shame released With a new heart And a new start A reason to live And something to give To this broken earth Of invaluable worth At my very core I know I was born for more Than to live and to die Without knowing why I don't have it all figured out But I know without a doubt That the world needs love And that love comes from above Because human love is not enough That is why there is a deep hole And a sickness in my soul But to me has been revealed The way to be healed Now I have a mission A reason for existence To bring healing to the earth To the unloved, the broken, the rejected And tell them what they are worth So that Jesus' love will be reflected And this love will give birth To many people being resurrected, Redirected and completely accepted To a wonderful and glorious rebirth
I am the hypocritical Christian. I say I follow Christ, But I'm still consumed by my demons. I go to church on Sunday, But I refuse to invite someone back. I want to serve on mission, But I'm too afraid to act. They think I read The Bible, But I just fall asleep in it. They think I'm positivity and smiles, But underneath I'm death and addictions. They think I'm clean and pure, But I'm broken and mistaken. I say I'm not worthy of His love, But Jesus will never let me be forsaken. I pray long prayers, But inside they're empty repetition. It might look as if my faith is strong, But my core is too easily shaken. I say the things I'm supposed to say, But don't follow His actions or obey. I speak the truth the church wants to hear, But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe. I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough To be loved by God and saved through Christ, But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace; It's a free gift. I accept; Now forgiven, changed, and released. Thank You God, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Holy Spirit! In Jesus' Holy Name, We pray, Amen!
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
FATAL ATTRACTION ------------------------- His lucent light illumines her eyes His face outshines the sun His ethereal beauty unveils the skies Her vibrant vision swiftly succumbs Her silenced tongue, his intimate touch His intangible hands sliding/slithering Spiraling down with a gentle glide Her body cold and shivering His fiery eyes ignite a flame Her attention he gains as she stares Their lips entwine, his blissful rapture Devours her heart from cares Encapsulated, she can't escape He clutches her in his arms Her safe haven, her wedded love His pearl preserved from harm Her beating heart, a decelerate speed Her aperture devoid of breath His succulent waters drown her tongue Compelling her closer to death Solitary seclusion, her world in diffusion Subverts her mind, subtracts her understanding He gains her trust, thrusting utter confusion Rest assuring her of a safe landing She drowns herself to ceaseless sleep In his grasp from detouring distractions At her beauteous site, he rejoices and weeps Absorbed in her FATAL ATTRACTION
The Keyboard of My Heart By Stan Almendro The Keyboard of my heart has no ivory keys to play Music comes from what I think, dream and what I say A melody that people hear is my happy, sensitive heart It is a song that will stay and never from me depart. There are also no black keys in the keyboard of my heart And you can in fact not tell the black keys from the white No hands are found striking these keys that don't exist Yet the sweetness of the chords no heart can really resist With no white or black keys in this keyboard of my heart Where and how does the music begin to make a start? No music sheet was written for this keyboard of my heart Music that you hear gets your feet tapping to every part No musician, grandmaster plays this keyboard of my soul It sends forth a celestial joy to the weak and to the bold The weak and frail are not excluded from this joyous tune They need no physical energy to frolic from morn to noon The bold and strong live in this music which never stops It is not a piece of music bought in some corner shop Because it's not for sale the poor also to this music dance Yes weak, bold both rich and poor all have an equal chance No very expensive grand piano or master music hand Is needed for the music seems is written in the sand So as you see me frolic, dance to the music of the band Ask that the keyboard of your heart be touched by the "Master's Hand."

Fighting mid the strong and bold, His eye and blade were keen; Marching like a thund'ring storm On foes of Faith, his queen. Now returned in victory Upon his mighty bay, Set he off to Langley Tow'r Her summons to obey. "John the Squire," the footman called, And held the oaken door; Faith, it seemed, had gleaming eyes Like never once before. "John! 'tis good to see thee hale," The queen exclaimed, and rose: Tales have sped to Langley's gates Of many broken bows." "God has saved me whole and well, By prayers, I ween, of thee; Tell me please, my lady Queen What service I may be." Saying thus, the squire bowed And doffed his burnished helm; Struck in awe by Faith, his love, The queen of Arthur's realm. "Gilbert saith," rehearsed the queen, "That deeds of thee are done Greater yet than those of Wat Or even Henry's son." Tears bedecked her youthful face, And glistened in the light; John the Squire, as she had hoped, Had done her favour right. "Nay!" the humble squire cried, "This word is not so true! How could I, the meanest squire, Perform the deeds they do?" "Hush!" It was a firm command; "I'll hear these lies no more; Kneel before me, Squire John, A knight shall leave the door." Down before the queen he knelt, He pledged his knighthood true; Swore her ev'ry small command With cheerful heart to do. From his side she drew his sword, She struck the accolade; "Thus the greatest knight," she said, "Is from a squire made." From her hand the sword did fall, It clashed upon a stone: "John, if battle claimed thy life, How could I be alone?" "God has prospered all my ways; My Queen, I praythee, cease! Soon these wars shall claim our foes, And Britain be in peace." Faith remained there by her throne, With light upon her hair; Not one maid of Camelot Was even half so fair. "God be with thee evermore," She bravely said at last; "Guard and keep thee from the foe Until the very last." John the Knight farewell did bid, And swiftly rode away: When the wars were hammered out, He'd be a king in May. For the Famous Art contest. Inspired by the painting "The Accolade" -1901 by Edmund Blair Leighton.
Mom, Dad, How can i describe you? A friend of mine describes his parents as Clueless and lost Another said they are just mean and brat One who never wanted to hurt hers told me hers are Distant and lonely I met one who spoke in my ears That his mom is silly And his dad a drunkard Others call them evil, sinister, diabolical, and grumpy Though most choose to say it softly kind, giving, hardworking but unapproachable But how can I describe you, Mom and dad? Saying you are loving and caring Its an understatement How can i describe you? You teach me right from wrong, You encourage and support me , You laugh with me and wipe my tears away, when i cry Yes you are honest, You are wise, You are respectful, You are intelligent, You are a blessing, So warm, tolerant but patient, But that doesn't satisfy it all You're the reason why I'm so strong, Because you inspire You are the reason why am smart Because you nurture You are the reason why i believe Because you faith-filled When I need you, you're always there I hate defeat because you taught me victory Though today I have a confession to make When it comes to describe who you are to me I am just speechless Dedicated to my dad and mom James and Cinda Carter Like with every relationship, they have had their highs and lows But no one can rule out that its the best couple i know so far They love God, they love each other and them love me Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A Contest: A poem you have not entered in a contest Poet: Rodgers Roger Carter Date:7/18/2014 Time: 12:00:00 AM
What is the best gift you ever have? Who gave it to you? When did you last receive a gift? What have you done after receiving that gift? Did you use? Did you keep? Did you brag about it? Did you exercise that gift? Did you share them? Did you say thank you to the giver? Did you do something as an exchange for that gift? Our Father God is so good that everyday He is daily giving us a gift. Each day we are given a gift--- life... Walk around and see how the world around breathes The blue clouds drawing some bear, dog or even a human. The trees that swing left to right with the wind hum. The flowers that exhales fragrances tripping on air. The birds that chirps and the running water soothing lyre... then stand infront of a mirror and see the best gift you can give. YOU, yourself is a gift to someone. Your smile. Your friendship. Your time. Your kind words. Your simple act of kindness. Your selfless service. Your loyalty. Your understanding. Your presence. Your effort: participation. Your generosity. Your talent. Your abilities. Your forgiveness. Your encouragement. Your unfailing love. Are these not gifts if done with sincerity? _______________________________ ©O. E. Guillermo 07:37 pm, February 22, 2015
In the beginning it was dust being tossed around in the wind with no direction wandering for a home that could not be found alone laid out on hot pavement dried out and seeking then the rain fell upon, mending together to form clay bringing forth a new life form from which by itself was alone and dead water shall be made available to all which shall give the texture to work with few will absorb into a ready substance seeking to be like the lamp stand which set the example washing away the stones which caused it to separate the Potter shall embrace with guidance pouring the perfect mixture on a solid foundation for this new creation to be molded for all has been brought forth to press on Just as clay while being formed into his creation will fall and try to go on its own for it has no support within itself and has to be known it can not do it alone but he watches closely and with his hands he continues to mold and patch all things right for he knows its path and direction for only by staying in the center of his hands shall it be raised up into a finished product set up to be baked by the fire to purify which then can be filled with overflowing water
With the beginning of each new day. When I look at you I say, "How could have I been so blessed?" As I take you in my arms and caress. It's only the beginning for us, With a life time of love and trust. We have family and friends, That we count on and depend. They share with us their love, That only comes from God above. Because of You, Lord, our love holds true. This I know will see us through. For richer or poorer, In sickness and health, For better or worse, Till death do us part. Our new beginning, a new start... "Dedicated to my husband of 23 happliy married years."
Snow sprinkles the ground as delicate as sugar crystallizing the exterior with a romantic heritage only found in the heart of a child's imagination. Like happiness it can melt in your hands, and like happiness it can grow bitter like the ice you slip on Forming miraculously to the curves of the earth hugging till the land soaks in it's providence white like the pages I battle with Falling so passionately you'd think it was falling in love with the ground And when it lands, A blanket of perfection glistening the season to a crisp gently the sun arises "there's no where to go today, I'm just going to sit and enjoy the magic."
He stood before the soldiers, a king draped in royal purple. He was crowned with a circlet of thorns woven together, and pressed into His brow: Sharp, piercing, cruel thorns. And His blood flowed down. Mocking soldiers played their part well. Bowing low with sneering faces then rising up with wooden staff they struck Him, over and over and over again. The king said not a word. They spat on Him and laughed. The king remained silent. No condemnation escaped His battered lips. He was brought before His subjects, beaten, bruised, but not broken. Not defeated. Crucify Him! Crucify Him!, His subjects shouted as they rejected Him. So He was stripped of His robe, nailed to a crude wooden cross, where His blood flowed down. "Father, forgive them!", He cried. "They don't know what they are doing." They didn't know who He was. They didn't know that He had come to teach them the path to God. They didn't know that it was for their sin He was dying. They didn't know that He was the one they had been waiting for: their Messiah, Deliverer, King. They didn't know how much He loved them as His blood flowed down. 4/17/2014
White Lilies, Scattered on the ground, Out of their element. Witness, Purity, Deprived of its origin. Behold, Clarity no longer visible. White Roses, In the purest snow, Frozen to the core. Witness, Loveliness, Stripped away so rash. Behold, Beauty destroyed. White flowers, All around, Trampled into dust. Witness, Wildness, Stolen without knowledge. Behold, Endless death fighting to prevail.
Noah's ark was real not a fiction It had a door to escape God's affliction Noah delivered a warning message But the folks mock their own presage Men grew in sin and matured in transgression And ignored Noah's loving confession The Door stood open a long time Until time begin to climb The Lord finally shut the Door And the rain begin to pour 120 years of grace finally came to a halt God administered judgment by default The Door was a glorious type of Christ He was the Lamb of God who was price Jesus said "I am the Door of the sheep" He is the only Door of that Great ship Jesus is our Door of salvation Wherein we enter and float as new creation Behold He stands at your door this day and knock Let Him in, you'll find pasture as a partaker of His Holy flock Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep- John 10:7

"The Wretched Prince" You were my hope And all my dreams, But all of that has changed, It seems Because I treated You so bad, Destroying everything We had And if I could Just turn back time, I'd claim you and, I'd make you mine I'd treat you Like a Princess fair, Hold you close, And stroke your hair A precious jewel You would be, Honored, Treasured, Loved by me I'd be your Prince, Your Hero true, And nothing Would I keep from you But this is not A Fairy Tale, I missed the mark, I lost the trail Your "Prince" was just A wretch, it seems, Quite capable Of killing dreams A Hero? No, I failed that too, You got much less Than you were due I rack my brain, I beat my breast, Realizing that I failed the test And I know this, You played no part, In the reckless murder Of your heart We had it all, We were "that pair" I ruined that, It wasn't fair I promised not To play that game, But in the end, I hold the blame You were "the one" I always said, Then cruelly left Our love for dead Your faith in me Was rare and just, I finally ground It into dust I crushed your faith, And acted small, And caused a bitter rain To fall I hurt you love, And I regret, The pain I caused, You can't forget And if I could Reset the clock, Erase the pain, The hurt, the shock I'd do it now I swear it's true, Undo the harm I did to you But time moves forward I am told, It leaves me sad, And feeling old With words too little, And too late, I took your love, And left you hate These words I offer Unto you, With hope you can Believe they're true You were so strong, Yet fragile too, I tore a precious thing From you I pray that God Will soon repair, The heart I was so quick to tear I thank you for The strength you shared, The love you gave, And how you cared Your courage helped me To go on, When all of mine Was dead and gone All I left you Was pain and strife, And I'll regret that All my life Please know your tears Don't fall alone, I miss the place We once called home This wretched "prince" Will hobble on, No longer part, Of your sweet song A Princess, I can never claim, But I will not Forget your name, My honor, blanketed by shame, But I will not forget your name.
I visited a garage sale. And had a surprised look on my face. I noticed that some things were "out of place." To my right... Was a shelf filled with books.. And Christian ones too. To my left... Was a sign that read; "I have adult movies for you." I wondered and thought with some kind of amazement. "Does this person read these books. And watch this "entertainment?" This is common in many Christian homes... Often... People cross God's "boundaries" and "safety zones." Anyone can go to church. Pray, sing and "shed a tear." Not realizing that sin's temptation is drawing ever so near. Do you seek God's holiness and the power of Jesus' name? But each night... Before bedtime... Things aren't quite the same... Have you opened up your heart and mind... And live life unfulfilled? Is this the way you ought to live? Is this what God has willed? He desires to live inside of you. And help you to discover. With any stronghold in life. He'll help you to recover! Are things in life "out of place?" And need to be put back together? Allow God's word to guide you! His promises are forever! Everything will be where it should be... With Jesus In control! Only he can defeat the enemy that seeks to destroy your soul! By Jim Pemberton

A Mother's Love… How precious is the love of a mother's heart! Even as a child… It's there from the start. A mother's love knows no boundary or limit. It's often shown by how much the mother gives it! Whether her children are young or growing old… And whatever circumstances in life may unfold… Her love is continually a solid foundation… That can't be removed, torn or shaken. Her love is what is a "guiding force…" Even if her children's lives stray "off course." I'm thankful for the love my mother's given… It's surely influenced the way I've been livin'! To all of our mothers across our great nation… May we show them our love and appreciation! Their love has stood and endured the test of time… I'm so glad that one of them is MINE! By Jim Pemberton
God has a plan, And it is out of my hands.
Loyalty One self Virtuous Eternity
What Is This Church All About? Is this church meant for people like me? Is this where God really wants me to be? They claim to be filled with God's spirit. When it comes to HIS truth... Can they give it? I'm sure there's many who come and attend It's more than "church on Sunday," that we must spend! We must reach out to the lost and the oppressed! After all, Christ gave us his very best! May we all preach the gospel and God's holiness! And strive to seek his awesome righteousness! Living for Jesus must be a daily walk and experience! Not simply based on our "ambitious self appearance." God isn't interested in a denomination or a title… He wants to know… Do we really believe the Bible? He's not interested in the money put in the offering plate. He wants to know; "Are you ready to enter heaven's gate?" May we strive to serve Jesus with a zeal and passion! And be filled with his holiness and compassion! May we serve Jesus from a heart of humbled confession! And making our commitment to him, our #1 possession! "Unless the Lord builds the house." They labor in vain that build it! Let's seek the power of God! May his presence completely fill it!! By Jim Pemberton

The Family That God Gave to Me I think about the family, that God gave to me... And think about where they'll spend eternity! I think about the good times, that we've had. And the trials we've faced... Both good and bad! God helped us to overcome adversity together! And proved his faithfulness... Today and forever! He showed us the Godly path, that we should follow... And promised to be with us! Today and tomorrow! He's proven how much he loves us! And how much that he cares for us! Thank you my lord, for all you do! Where would we be? If not for you? You've proven yourself over and over again! Thank you so much, for being our friend! By Jim Pemberton
I traveled the world And though it is vast I still need a truth That would always last Studied some books And know my mind too The whole time God knows Only love will do Studied Religion and Forever I found Even God loves Love On this I expound My Mom in my life Always there for me Taught me that true love Would there always be Love doesn't judge man And I'm very free From color or type Of good company True love doesn't die "Oh Love, you'll abound," Despite all the bad You'll stand your ground Love's the Law for me We are always free Love keeps me alive This is Love's decree.
Priceless pearl my hidden diamond love's sweet jewel Heaven sent Angelic countenance Beauty so pure Lovely daughter your character delights my devotion forever Heartbeat on screen My unbelief ceased the moment You first squeezed my finger
Only light can penetrate the darkness that resides in the default state of mind I descend from beta to delta through binaural beats; instantly caught between frequencies beyond time I absorb amplitudes of acoustic energy and I learn to just be earth Since I am the earth and because I am of the one that is the source of its existence, I've owned the power of omnificence I realize now that I AM because HE is since I am from that, a descendant Created in the image of a thought and a feeling from the Universal Mind I tune in to this vibration from rhythmic pulse that manipulates subconscious minds Immersed between 4 and 7 hertz; brainwaves halt to a conscious sleep All chakras are aligned shining crown energy and now my consciousness begins to reap! and light begins to penetrate the harmonious beams that were already there constant and always there is now flooded with sound patterns that force brainwaves to submit to power of omnipresent sound that always was and always will be connected to the Source from which I came so I extend exponentially beyond; physical time and space I long to embrace the intensity of gamma rays I give way to the coded sounds that resonate from the inner core and continue to connect through the binaural beats that - remind me of before Always familiar but ignored until found by gaining knowledge of self I listen with the intent to excel while reaping an abundance of benefits and rewards Listen!! It's already yours Just reach out and grab it as long as intention and ego is checked the universe will correspond accordingly it will deliver a life to you divine and orderly Just listen to the sounds that were there from before They will guide to to the vibration from the core and it will guide you to connect directly with the source

I praise You greatly for Her life my life without her could not be, show her Your favour without measure for everything she's meant to me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
one Word saves the lost Here I am by thy sound grace you hear our bleating
ANOTHER YEAR WITH YOU Unto the night sky, I see a lace of stars twinkling bright and far beyond the moon with a grin of mystique light I welcome the thought that two nights from now, year 2015 will knock and greet upon my door... Father God, wow! I can't help to be thankful! All those bumps and struggles this 2014 whew! I am so thankful that You carried me through... I have no doubt that it has been always YOU who is there with me, guiding and listening to me. Through, people all around me... see... a child's smile that melts my heart.. my mama's strong voice that toughens me... my papa's jokes that drew a giggle in me... the greetings and hugs of friends all around to the challenging remarks from some reminds me always that You are just within my reach... How can I forget Your presence when each day I wake up... I behold and have the privilege to enjoy Your creation... from the serene puffy cotton clouds on blue skies, from the warmth sprayed by Mr. Sunshine even the pricking sweats falling unto my brows... from the colony of ants align to gather their food, to the sweet smell of flowers, to the dew kissing the leaves to the moving fishes I perceive on clear waters to the soaring flight of birds... these and others reminds me of Your dear presence... :)! I am so glad that You are within my life. Unseen but always felt within minutes of a heartfelt prayer. Unheard but always on time on answering every uttered appeal... Can't help to be teary eyed when I remember those daily miracles You let me experience; those revelations You letting me witness; those trials and storms in which by remaining in You, I won! Giving me further reason to thank You and give back to You all the things You are doing to me... Young at twenty-eight they say, but I thank You that despite what has been I can say I am blossoming better in every way because my earnest pursuit of Your will in my life. I am all challenged and being bent by Your living words. I am all being convicted too when I do falter but I am so grateful for Your gift of mercy. Hence, I make it a point to do more, more and more, for myself and above all to others to which You always said that indeed by loving and extending help to others, I am also loving You... It is not by merely praying, nor attending a daily mass or service nor lifting my hands to praise You nor singing and dancing in-front of Your altar nor handing my tithes or offering that I am indeed praising and worshiping You but... but... It is by sharing the experience of You loving me to others and so with Your creations is the best way. And even loving and praying that You will bless and touch those who persecutes me. I thank You Father God for a wonderful year and I am looking forward for another year with YOU. Forever grateful and forever in seek of You, God, more and more. ©O. E.

Love Love Love That's what they Gave to me, So Why Why Why Do I live in Slavery Hate Hate Hate Always knocking At my door Where life or death Depends on the floor Perception changed In the blinking Of an eye Now all I can do Is sit here and cry I cry for lost love I cry with no hope And yet somehow I will always, Always cope. Because I am a Christian I'm tortured everyday Someone decided To take my life away They saw a chance to profit From all that I have done I pay for my confinement And am the lonely one. I hope that one day The real truth will be known Who I am and what I am In blood flesh and bone Until that day cometh Pray God stay with me Then I'll survive until the day The real me though dost see GOD SAVE ME

The Sacrament of Confirmation Confirmation perfects baptismal grace The Sacrament gives the Holy Spirit to root us more deeply in divine filiation Incorporate us more firmly to Fr. Christ Strengthen our bond with the Church Associate us more closely with her mission Help us bear witness to Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds Like Baptism imprints a spiritual mark or indeliable character of the Christian soul For this reason one can receive this sacrament only once in one's life A candidate for Confirmation has attained the age of reason must profess faith Be in the state of grace Have the intention of receiving the Sacrament Be prepared to assume the role of disciple Witness to Fr.

Many In Church Don't Know of God's Power! There's many people who attend church on Sundays. And yet don't really understand what God's word says! Many get excited when the church has a "coffee hour." But few really have a desire to experience God's power! Prayer time is too often just a few words that are said. They sing a good tune, but many are "spiritually dead." An evangelist comes to town, and many rush to see him! It's almost like they want to "bow down" before him! I'm not here to look for a preacher to get me "excited." I want to experience the power of God, that he's provided! If I need a drive thru restaurant, I don't need a church to do it! When it comes to knowing God's power… Many refuse it! It's only the power of the Lord Jesus, that can raise the dead! It's only through knowing his word, that we can truly be fed! If you want someone to stroke you ears, you'll find them! Many will say what you want to hear! You probably know them! But if you really want the power of God to really change you! You need to seek his presence! And allow it to touch you! If you can't find it in a church building, get into a prayer closet! There's a move of God that's stirring! But many have lost it! Seek the Lord while he may be found! And enter into his presence! The Holy Spirit wants to fill you with power! And is omnipresent! Please come Lord Jesus, and forgive us of our sinful living! May we enter your courts with a heart of praise and thanksgiving! We need you Lord Jesus! May we lift your name up higher! And seek to be filled with your Holy Ghost' fire! By Jim Pemberton 10/09/13
Beloved, lovely roses: gift of God and lover's flower, Spread your colored petals and cradle tender showers. While admiring the blossoms with their beauty to behold, Ought we not to know the Tender of such lovely garden groves? For He lovingly and thoughtfully wields His pruning shears To cut away the stems of old for fuller future years. He cultivates and feeds them. He attends them as a Father Looking daily to their needs; so faithfully He waters. From the dawn of morning dew until the setting sun arrays Caring always for His own until that great appointed day… When the Gardener comes to claim each one the earth held as its own. He gently picks it at its peak and for His pleasure takes it home. As God did one glorious morning, when the Perfect Rose had bloomed. He rolled away the stone and met with Mary at the tomb. There the sweetest Rose of Sharon rose that we die not alone. But be gathered for a garden grove, surrounding heavens throne.
I Went to Church Last Sunday… I went to church last Sunday, and heard a lesson… I felt like I was almost in a "delicatessen." A "menu" was served, with a "meal" given. And a "pep talk'" on "how good we're livin'! We were asked to shake a hand, "and meet a friend." "But don't say anything that may offend!" Our comfort was sought after, with "love" in mind! We were taught to be "considerate and kind!" We sang a few songs, and raised a few hands… And got up and down, all through the stands! A pastor spoke a message, he wanted to be taught. A "feel good" message is what he sought! How many "feel good" messages do we need? In what direction does this church want to lead? Is it one that doesn't have a fear of God, from within? Is this a place where one can find freedom from sin??? We need more than a Sunday lesson, to change this nation! We need God's power! With Holy Ghost conviction! We need pastors that are on fire, with a passion and zeal! And the believe that Christ' coming is very real! May there be a new focus, of Christ' death on the cross! And much more emphasis on reaching the lost! Going to church On Sunday, doesn't mean a thing… If living 100 percent for Jesus, doesn't mean anything! May your church on Sunday be stirred from above! And be filled with God's power, his holiness and love!!! By Jim Pemberton
God's grace Marvelous grace grace deeper than all sin God's grace, pardons, cleanses within Jesus Inspired by PD's contest Written May 7, 2013 Traditional Cinquain Credit to: "Grace, Grace, God's Grace" An old hymn.. Can accessed by typing in the title and type in YouTube
Because tears are meant To be a symbol of strength Even in hard days.
There's many people who claim they've nothing to "hide!" They tend to use the rainbow as a source of their "pride." But if you read in the book of Genesis, it is revealing. God's purpose of the rainbow had a different meaning! The rainbow was there when much of mankind disappeared! There was a promise of God that was so very clear. He promised to never again destroy man with a flood. This was his promise... An extension of his love! It was never intended as his approval for perversion! Mankind still needs a Jesus filled holy conversion! The colors of the rainbow can't wash away sin's dark stain! This can only happen by the power of Jesus' name! The colors are beautiful… But man's heart is filled with deceit! Without the soul cleansing power of Jesus… We're never complete! No court decision can give the freedom that many desire! Only the power of the cross can change you this very hour! The only way to find equality with God, is through the cross! Without his words of truth… We are forever LOST! Look past the colors of the rainbow! Seek the power of the blood! Then you too, can be changed from God's power from above! By Jim Pemberton
Let's praise the Lord! All you people of the land! Let's praise him with every Instrument we have on hand! Let's shout praises to his wonderful name! A message of rejoicing, we need to proclaim! Let's come before him, with love from our hearts! This is where a victorious life really starts! Let's bring him our thanks and appreciation! And sing of his tender mercy and wondrous salvation! Let's bring him a heart filled With hope and cheer! The coming of the lord, is so very near! We bless the father, the spirit and son! Through the blood of Jesus, we have overcome! By Jim Pemberton
It's hard doing something different. It's difficult staying yourself. In a world so accustomed to conformity, It feels nearly impossible to be unique As the one He created you to be. How do we find the strength? How do we find the courage? How do we find the bravery? Where do we defeat fear? Well, He's hanging on The Cross Giving life to you and me. Thank You Jesus! Let us not forget With Christ, Nothing is impossible, For with God, All things are possible! Thank You Father! Thank You! We give our lives to You! We are Yours! Praise You forever And forevermore! In Jesus' Name, We pray, Amen!
God Gives Us Brothers and Sisters For A Reason! God gives us brothers and sisters for a reason! As children, we have each other, throughout the seasons! We laugh and play together and do all sorts of things… Often not realizing what the future of life brings! As kids, we often share whatever life may give us! And stick together, no matter what trials may face us! But, as we grow older, too often, we part separate ways. And lose any contact with each other for countless days! I've seen all kinds of things tear families all apart. Often, there's some kind of unforgiveness of the heart! If you, and your siblings, have reached a separation… May you seek Jesus for a Godly reconciliation! As family, whatever divides, must be lifted up in prayer! Where two or three are gathered… God is there! Just think about what the family unit has become! The love of Jesus must be what binds us all as one! Getting along as a family, is more than just a "feeling!" The blood of Christ needs to bring an "inner healing!" The family that each of us have, may not be here tomorrow! Are you one who's holding on to bitterness and sorrow? May the words of Christ help us all to get along! That through HIM, our families will be STRONG! By Jim Pemberton 10/20/13
Wave a sea softened and a pain and a tenderness throw dreams in fascination of the blue. And let shave the waves of Your eternity , oh, weigh above me, oh,weigh a coast of years. Carry far in azure, spiral ships, with bulging little abdomens, flutter with mahagony pinions and already in vain expect you to stop the scales harbours with hot flames for You are open. Far away, far away ,far away, stretched string, heart and frank await the hymn of June. All sea sisters are dressed in mother-of-pearl garment embroidered of kiss of eternity. In the morning hunts them fishermen and revive with breath of their man's hands. In the evening girls wash their black tunics, in their blue hearts, their feet white ,who cadge heavy chains. The night is squeezed enigma and ugly, predatory like a bat pecking of scarlet fig. Sea sisters, sea sisters, remember His steps which go through you noiselessly, and ou swing like bloody wine- hold in His fingers Herod, Pilate washes his hands, in Yours heirs and they bristled like winter icicles bristles of innoncent blood . There at Golgotha hearing terrible cry, blood gushes like wounded river disappear like Easter roses, in weeds of flushed preditory crowd, to open way of saving. Who is He? Do you heard His name ? He is Messiah, God's anoited Jesus Christ. Like little sheeps, clouds of candy floss, they welcome festivaly. Barefooted are feet of lovely swarthy steps of the sun, came to bow, before You , Creator. The sea throws his magnificent silver flesh, blue like heavently lace, to swallow all stars only Bethlehem's stays inextinguishable, pretty like uncreated like an apple of not born girl.
Land of the free Home of the slaves The blood, sweat and tears of my ancestors resonate Amongst the soil where they were slain I'm hearing their struggle I'm feeling their pain I can't imagine being forced to part from my family All for massa's gain So I pay homage to those who promoted change People like every slave who tried to escape Nat Turner, Ms Carlotta, Harriet Tubman And the safe houses who were in accord And peg leg Joe with his song Follow the drinking gourd. People like, the disregarded - those thrown overboard And who was dismissed and defamed The ones who were stripped of their soul, their pride, their names The list could go on The full will never be told So I pay homage to others who were bold Like John Brown, The Freedom Riders, Sojourner Truth Ida B Wells, Phyllis Wheatley, Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes and Charles Drew George Washington Carver, Ruby Bridges Booker T Washington and Mary McCleod Bethune Charles Houston, Ralph Bunche, Fredrick Douglass WEB Dubois, Paul Robeson, Ralph Abernathy Benjamin Banneker, Marcus Garvey and Crispus Attucks Who's death by the way Symbolized the American lie You cant declare the rights of all men While the people of African decent rights get denied But still we rise Thanks to Dr Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, the Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airmen None who were showed any love Yeah it's an uphill battle, But obviously greatness can be done. We can rise above this stigma That blacks are lazy and daunting That our worth is null and void And in essence minus nothing And of all the names mentioned And the greatness of their successes No one has been able to erase the evil transgressions of a racist mind And once you have experienced just a taste of it It changes your perception of time The oppression beats like the drum on the chariot Of when it was finally time to escape to freedom It's mine
2011, Yambol A poem for My Beloved 1.He is like a bunch of myrrh, He is gilding my fingers With fragrance. He is weaving into between My breasts, He is cloaking on My pearl buttons in sunrise redden Like a droplets of blood, A necklace of my heart, A star of cinnamon tree, A porcelain cup with milk On a small table, Till a silver spoon which He is taking up slowly along His stifling lips, and like a butterfly Is swallowing a little chalice of my heart. My beloved is walking and decreasing. 2. He wakes the forests green like emerald Hayricks, white droplets, running on the Face of the sky. Eyebrows of clouds ,each snowdrop bowing down Under His white fingers. All blade of grass reducing. The pomegranates are like big chalices For Holy communion. My Beloved lifted it. His back have been cut of Smart whips, blood veronicas Shoots up His white skin, Strained like a drum, for fierce mad Throng. My Beloved will never be separated From my breasts. Myrrh deeply in my bosom and I Live from her Holiness, Golden lichen in golden hoops, Tightens up my heart. Beloved how giving out a sweet perfume, Smells a summer. Nina Mindova was born in Yambol, Bulgaria. She graduated at Bulgarian philology, English philology in Paisii Hilendarski university in Plovdiv and Theology in VEBI Sofia.. She is author of six poetry books.
Love is a wonder shared by one another it's the only reason I'm not six feet under Love in which I believe in a will to sustain I give back to life, now in dormant states of pain The power of Love may not alone be enough locked inside my dreams escape only from above higher than any human being has ever gone before I must have evolved rise above hate, great once more My Father taught me wisdom I am imprisoned no longer now an beast not of burden I am no lion, I am stronger on my shoulder sits twin dragons long awaiting the day evil forces come forth to take what Love is left, away A Hero of Love light are what the world needs angels, not demons exist where ever you believe follow your heart's direction and you shall achieve objects of affection rid of materialistic greed My bright energy has awakened to a fire never consuming the source as the flames just grow higher that is the desire of a product we call Love Fear, the counterpart what I was once made of I am slowly learning how to win when my peace is harder to sharpen so I have given my pen leave the sword has its uses I must say I believe to vanquish the evil in the minds too diseased to serve any purpose except their own selfish ones tomorrow a new day in the clarity of the sun where we two are now one and one done now does bring about a great change lit by the righteousness of Love.
We Need God Back Into Our Schools! There are some trying to remove God from this nation! They do is under; "a church and state separation." For many years, God was taught in our schools! Until the Supreme Court took it away, with it's rules! As so many young people look to fill life's "void." They try many things that they think they'll enjoy! Rather than having God's word to obey and live by. They choose the kind of life that they will die by! Drugs, sex and violence of many perverted kinds. Are what is now filling so many young people's minds! Read the headlines! Many young people are stressed out! Yet our government can't seem to figure it out! Another shooting… Another act of violence appears! While any kind of answer seems to have disappeared! The answer is not more money to solve their problem! No matter how much the government tries to solve them! Let me give you answer. It's called "read the Bible 101!" It's time to repent to God the father, the spirit and the son! Our young people need God brought back into their life! And allow him to heal their brokenness and strife! Jesus Christ is the solution for which many are asking! Only he can give anyone a life that's everlasting! Please come Lord Jesus! And heal the wounded hearts! It's everyone one of us, that it needs to start! No court or school can separate God's love for you and me! Where will you spend your eternity? By Jim Pemberton 10/24/13
At Church, We Talked About the Holy Spirit! At church, we talked about the Holy Spirit. And discussed how to be guided by it! We discussed scripture and God's power! And how we need his spirit... This hour! We learned about how the Holy Spirit moved long ago. And how we need it now! To nourish our soul! It seemed like no matter what we decided We knew the spirit's power has been provided! Rather than just all of us talking about it... Isn't it about time, that we really experience it? The disciples of the Bible were empowered from on high! They boldly proclaimed God! And were not shy! It's almost like the church today is somewhat defeated! Because the Holy Spirit's work isn't completed! How can anyone experience the Holy Spirit within? When so many hang on to unrepentant sin??? If you're one, who's hanging on to a denomination... Is God's spirit part of your life's foundation??? Won't you take the time to wait on the spirit's presence! God is powerful! And is loving and omnipresent! Talk is cheap! Submission to God's spirit is the key! To help you in life! And give you the victory! Won't you come now? And enjoy the spirit's fullness? It will bring you joy! And complete wholeness! By Jim Pemberton
Before we were thought of or time had started, God put US in His Son's name.. And each time we pray, you'll see its true, You can't spell Jesus without including US. Were a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For US, He was born; And His great love for US is the reason He died. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with US in His plan? The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew, egospelexpress And His resurrection was for US. As JesUS left the earth with His wonderful ascension, When He felt there was one thing He just had to mention. "Go into the world and tell them it's true that I love them all - Just like I love you." So many people are Christian brothers and sisters, Don't all the others have a right to know JesUS too? It all depends on what we do, He'd like them all to know, But it all starts with US. Rev. Samuel Mack, OMS Copyright 2011 VISIT US AT; http:paladinnews1.blogspot.com
It's not a lesson to be taught Or a skill to be acquired It's the nudge to move forward Open when the time is right It's the spirit inside God leading on the way On the journey to discover He is all you need It's the courage to let go Say yes instead of no Reveal what you've been holding back As Jesus takes the wheel It's the realization that it doesn't matter What others think of you God leads you where you're meant to be Just allow you to be you It's the standing up to fear Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!" The battle has been fought too long Time to let the stalemate end It's the inspiration you've been holding For others and for yourself The light we've been dimming Rather than shining on His behalf It's the spontaneity in the decision To follow His call all the way Discovering peace in being you Wide open as the perfect creation you are The world out there is brutal But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand His bravery now is all we have But His bravery of love is all we need May God bless you!
Let no shadow be cast in my soul for I have seen the countenance of grace. Let my heart not build a wall to hide the furious compassion of Your face. Let the rain of mercy fall upon the dry wasteland of my memories. Let my life answer to Your call and my own stubbornness cease. Let me not at the foot of the cross resent precious blood splattered for me. Let it cover the pain of loss and from sin set me free. Thank the Lord my soul can rejoice for I am but a sinner whom You gave a choice.
God, my ears are open And I know what to do. Please help me to make a decision That finally leads to You.
Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids… I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids. He told me; "how dare anyone tell me how I should live!" He added; "what I do is no one else's business but my own." "No one can ever tell me what I do in my home!" When given scripture that clearly forbids what he's doing… It's the backward kind of life… That he's choosing! He claims Jesus is his lord, in spite of his moral depravity. It's like he has, in his body, an "infected cavity." God gave to us his word, with his holy instructions! If we don't obey, it'll lead to our spiritual destruction! It doesn't matter if 10,000 churches say that it's o.k. to do! God requires a righteous and holy way of living, for me and YOU! There are choices we all have, that are to be made! Are you going to be victorious in Christ? Or sin's slave??? Have you thought about living for Jesus? And what it cost? If we're not sacrificing our lives for him, we're forever lost! If you're one who's caught up into a life filled with perversion… May I introduce you to the blood of Jesus? And a righteous conversion? God gave to each of us, HIS rules and commandments to live by! It's either God's rules, or man's, that you'll either live or die by! Won't you choose a life that God has chosen to give you? He created mankind! It's no secret how much he loves you! The opportunity is here! It may never come again! Won't you let the power of Jesus break the bondage of sin? Jesus can set you free! Won't you let him help you? He's patiently waiting… Just because he wants to! By Jim Pemberton 10/07/13
Eve, this land is already populated, peopled by persons who seem like us, although diffetent too, like seasons in soul, divergent in their dreams for dynasty, they have dialects from a depth of Dawn that awoke long before we arrived to thrive here, customs peculiar as shapes to stones, Father never spoke of these klans who strive to survive outside the mercy of His gaurded garden, competitive as clouds in a shrunken sky, I met a merchant, a servant to trade, he told of banners and blood, laws and legacies cultures savage and cities of crime, gleamed from telling stories of wealth and wonder, said they worship their Gods more ways than gold folds, consider what we have encountered Luv, will our children slay or be slain, war or work love or get lost in conquest, you, as a Woman of God's glorious gambit have a harvest of futurity's face in the balance, will you deliver the destiny of our union into this drama...

Head hung low, I walk the street- Timid to feel the hangman's loss- Every step on my blistered feet- Takes me closer to, the Christian cross- With every second, my soul does exhaust- Heat-ridden cheeks from tears I cry- Hide my eyes my shame is discreet- Explain to me God, why must I die? You say the hunger game I did cheat- I see on that hangman's rope your hands across- How close I was to starvation beat- Why must I die for naught but sauce- On bread instead of my usual moss- I hope you see my little child cry- Although to you unjust is a treat- Hold him God on the day he will die- With my head hung low, I walk the street- My family will feel the hangman;s loss- No more will I walk upon these blistered feet- Family go, live your life by the Christian Cross- For my soul is tired, don't let your life exhaust- My dear sweet loved ones there is no need to cry- No more reason for you to stand all so discreet- I am happy at last, on the day that I die- I will live the rest of my life upon a Christian's Cross- These murderers relax themselves on their own lie- In a few short moments I won't feel anymore loss- I will lift up my head and all so proudly I will die-
Man's Corruption... God's Redemption! The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption. That's why God has offered us, his redemption! The heart is desperately wicked above all things. There's an evil corruption that sin brings! The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways. He watches our lives, all of our days! There's nothing good in ourselves. Not now, or ever! Without God's mercy... We're doomed forever! But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan! He made this available to every woman and man! His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear! The coming of Jesus Christ, draws ever so near! We can trade our sinful corruption, for a new way of living! Won't you come before the Lord, with a heart of giving? Giving our life to Jesus, is the best thing to do! By his power and grace, you can be made BRAND NEW! I'm thankful for his salvation! Mercy has been applied! Because of Christ' death on the cross… I'm now sanctified! By Jim Pemberton
I thank God for blessing me with you, I scream the Lords name out with gratefulness, I close my eyes and I cry to the Lord with appreciation, I smile as I pray to the Heavenly Father for the greatest gift I had ever recieved. Thank you Lord for giving me my Proverbs 31. When you came into my life on the 5th of December 2011, I knew you were something special, I knew there was a reason why God hasnt taken me into the Heavens above, because He had blessed me with something far greater than Heaven, It was you. My Proverbs 31. I knew you were the one from that moment I saw you, from that moment when you paused my whole life through one touch, from that moment when I couldn't believe that you were real, and not some hope in my imaganation. I knew you were the one when every bad thing in my life was out of mind I knew you were the one when God blessed me with my own Proverbs 31. You showed me real love, you showed me happiness, you showed me that the two of us can fight and we will grow stronger together, you showed me that life can be amazing even through the grey days, you showed me that you are my Proverbs 31. I will love you even when my heart stops, because it will always beat within yours, I will always protect you, that I promise you, I will always have your back just like you have always had my own, I will cherish the love we share and the moments together, I will always be there for you because you are my Proverbs 31. So I thank you Lord for Lisa, I promise you I will love her through everything and I will protect her, because she is Your daughter, and I promise you that she will be forever safe and forever loved and forever happy. Thank you Lord for my Proverbs 31. *this poem is dedicated and inspired to and from Lisa Ndlovu, my first and only love. Thank you for showing me happiness.
EVERYDAY IS GOD'S DAY Threats of war-- shakes the peace floating in the breeze, Bombs and guns, they rattle to break bony reasons of the mind, Thorns and knocks that seed from biting disease, Shouts and wails rising 'neath conscience and ego grind, all these like wagon wheels-- the whole world theater confines When will humans know there's always a God standing by? Dawn and dusk---brace night and day, His own design so are animals that swim, hop and eagles soaring high! All He provided and us, He asked to keenly give an eye but pass flipping years did we try to allot some time? Utter some thanksgiving shedding clouds of shy? Daily we walk a lifeline to reach one peak prime, offering our lives humbly as like saint Paul though pang of death is the stage of our befall... Everyday is a day the Lord has made, blessings He bestow a hug of sunlight, tests, He spearheads--the best teacher blade. . . Even if seven devils come in flight to invite stand like Jesus in the wilderness, hold tight! Fight! None like vapor but forward like Lancelot we go, serving God, throughout our life, the zenith height. Let praises grow and God's glory our constant show! Hatred we forego, letting love melt a heart of snow so when the day comes our Holy Father judge let our lives greet Him with bright smile of hello "Well, done faithful servant", He will say as He touch beckoning us inside a prepared Castle room Sharing with Him a life everlasting of bloom! _________________________________________ Sponsor Verlena S.

You are God's Art Work. When you understand this; you understand the importance of being and the importance and beauty of another's being. Imagine a child of any age, with his or her coloring pencils drawing on a piece of paper. Tongue stuck out, eyes focused and every mark in its place. The yellow is where he or she wants it, there's just enough blue and every line and dot in the background makes that child's art work complete. It took some time, but it was worth it. This child is so proud of his or herself, sitting back gazing at his or her creation, knowing that he or she will never create this one masterpiece ever again. Can you feel that child's joy, that child's love for his or her creation? Now, imagine another child with only one black flat tip marker, with only two strokes in only two seconds ruin the first child's creation before he or she was able to show it to anyone. Can you feel that child's pain, that child's anger? You are God's Art Work. And every Man, Woman and Child should be treated as such. Every scar you made on another Man, Woman or Child was a mark on one of God's many Great Masterpieces (if you never done so, I congratulate you and ask you never feel this shame). This is how wrong our world is. You should feel ashame to have another bare the mark of your rage and even worse if you bare the mark of another because of your own wrong way of living. This is not a hard task but it must be dealt with where the problem begins. It begins with you. If you have a thought, an idea, the feeling or if someone is pushing you to hurt or harm or even dislike anyone in any manner at any time, you should have the wisdom and compassion to know that this is wrong, that this is not right and want to resolve the matter of not; the difference of the other person, but why I feel this way towards them. Now, imagine a world with no man made scars created in anger or dislike. Can you see a World with no war, a World with no animosity toward one another Worldwide…a World without one man made bruise in anger toward another? That world can be, just by respecting...God's Art Work. Is Museum Art more important than God's? These are thoughts for our wolrd to heal it from all the wrong we bring into it, we must look at ourself and see our faults and change our behavior tward one another to make this World a the wonderful place God made for us.... "Greater will be the place in heaven for the A__hole that can control His or Her tongue and actions while here on Earth." Quote By Anthony BamBam!! Thomas
It's A Pleasure to Really KNOW Jesus! Often people get in trouble for deviant activity. This often shortens their life's longevity! As people strive or pleasure in so many things... They don't think of the heartache this often brings! Many seek pleasures, but are never fulfilled! Often becoming self centered, and stubborn willed! The "excitement" they want, doesn't last very long. Soon, they don't know where they really belong! If it's the thrills and joys of life, you've been spending... Isn't it about time, that you just stop "pretending?" The pleasure many want will NEVER be there! Is anyone really listening? Does anyone care? If it's pleasure many want... Look no more! We are what Christ' love is really meant for! Jesus Christ gives the best pleasure we'll find! He's faithful, honest, graceful and most kind! Isn't if about time, you let him turn you around? And let him put your life on a solid ground? He can do it now! By the power of his shed blood! And truly bless your life! From heaven above! I'm so thankful to him, for the joy he brings! He is God! And can provide ANYTHING! By Jim Pemberton
What Does Marriage Mean to YOU? What all hear various definitions of what marriage means. Not realizing the consequences this often brings! There's often a lack of commitment and faithfulness. Many still looking for a true source of happiness! This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife. Needs to have his spirit, to guide our life! It's no wonder why, there's many falling apart! It's causing heartache and many broken hearts! No court in the land can wash away sin's dark stain. When adultery happens, things aren't the same! May we all seek to ask God to strengthen our home! He's there to help us! When we feel all alone! We need the blood of Jesus to daily cleanse us! He wants to do this! Because he loves us! Jesus remains committed, faithful and strong! His word will teach us what's right and wrong! May we seek HIS guidance and council! You'll find, that he is always most helpful! Please Jesus… Heal the broken families across this nation! For only you can provide a much needed foundation! By Jim Pemberton
Are You Happy With the Life You Have? Are you truly happy with the life you have? Or have you been discouraged and sad? Have the things in life brought you contentment? Or are you one who's often filled with resentment? The feelings you have, and the ambitions inside… Is there some trouble that you're trying to hide? Everything you have… God has given to you! His promises are true! And he'll never fail you! The happiness you may be seeking, you can find in him! You can find peace, hope and satisfaction within! Christ can bring a healing that you won't find! Won't you give him a chance? While there's still time? What profits a man if he gains the world, or loses his soul? Jesus loves you so much! More than you'll ever know! The opportunity is here, for you to take! Won't you give God a chance? For heaven's sake? By Jim Pemberton 10/14/13
Poorly heated coffee; I can't seem to get it hot enough. Tired eyes still rolling, Film draped for dreaming. This last Summer Saturday, Might as well call it Fall. The pumpkins out and jumping, Future jack-o-lanterns for fun. Gentle breeze cascades, Every once in a while a poof. Sunny sun still sunning; Please don't ever go away. Time to heat up the coffee; My goodness this is good! So open arms and lean back; God is so, so good!
Our love grows stronger, Even beyond the distance, Even beyond the days. I know you're with me always And I'm always with you; In God together we're together forever And physically we'll be together forever soon.
I'm going bankrupt this week I never knew how much money had control of me I'm letting go of the reigns By opening up the purse strings No bills fly out 'Cause there was no money to begin with But I'm not complaining 'Cause I'm still dreaming And I am worth more than money

I Know of Someone Holding Unforgiveness! I know of someone holding unforgiveness! This has led to a life of much bitterness! Toward his brother, he's held on to a grudge. From his viewpoint, he won't even "budge." No matter what God's word has clearly spoken… He's walked with a heart that's been broken! His son prayed that God would speak to him! That he would forgive, so God could heal him! Forgiveness is a powerful thing to do! If you want God's mercy to flow through you! We're not called to "hold back," the love God's given! Through Christ shed blood… We're all forgiven! May the love of Christ come and touch us! It's no secret how much God really loves us! Please come Lord Jesus! And touch our soul! May we express your love, wherever we go! May God's gentle love, be what always binds us! HIS words; "love one another," do remind us! By Jim Pemberton
Lord, I seek from You Faith, that I may conquer death Hope, to persevere Love, that I may love the lost And love You as You love me
I've watched the war from behind closed doors; Eyes too glued to close. And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more. God's love is the only hope we know. We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus. We are saved because of the love that is Jesus. We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us. We are loved! No matter what we've done, we are loved! Confess and ask for forgiveness; This is such a beautiful gift! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! You forgive me! You save me! You change me! I am changed! I am new! I am renewed! I am forgiven! I am saved! I am changed! There's porn no more For God's hope is in store! There's porn no more For God's love is the hope of the world!
Who am I? Am I defined by what is near in sight? Am I defined by what I have done, Or am I defined by what I could become? Perhaps I'm of no use. To him, or her, or I, nor you. Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined, And it is something like understanding that comes in time. And if to the world I'm never shown, Yet in my own light I've grown and grown, And so I can know no happiness but my own-- The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown. I do not pray for the world to know my name. For it and verse; the letters are the same. And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads, I pray his pain my words to keep. Should his eyes rain on my page, Better tears than storms of rage. And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads. I pray his pain my words to keep. And if to the world you're never shown, Yet in your own light you've grown and grown, And so you know no happiness but your own. Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.
My heart is on Your shoulders, And You are lifting me up. With every spoken tender gesture, I fall a little farther in love.
It is finished, I paid the price Why do you constantly sacrifice? It is finished, I suffered for your trouble I love you so much I will restore you with double It is finished, Why are you circling that same mountain again You are never alone I'll be with you until the end It is finished, You can be whole and complete Start swaying to the sound of my heart beat It is finished, I washed you in my blood It's only your eyes that see that old familiar crud It is finished, Let me take you by the hand On a journey to a foreign land It is finished, Whenever you have any doubt Know that I saw your face on the day I shouted those words out By: Sabina Nicole Written: 7/26/12
I'm worried where the next dollar will come from. Will she ever arrive? Will she ever show up? But why am I worrying? Stop it! It's all in God's Great Hands! It's all under God's control! It's all within His plans! It's all His And He will provide Because He is our Father! He loves us! It's all His! Trust Him! I know it's difficult; He will not lead you wrong. He knows where you need to go. He knows what you need to endure. It's all His plan. It's all in His Hands! Lay down your life; Give the control. He is in control! Thank You Father! Trust Him! It will all be okay! Trust Him! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Holy Spirit! I love You always! I trust You always! I trust You! I trust You! Yes, yes I do! I trust You! I love You! Amen!
Best of friends, for countless years, we had the best of times. Now as my eyes are filled with tears, your soul to Heaven climbs. The path we take, not always clear, I feel so lost without you here. Your last words, prophetic now, "I'll be home soon"- you knew somehow. You left me here, I'm so alone, but I dreamed Heaven had a phone. We talked all night, you fell asleep, I held the line to hear you breathe… Copyright © 2013
Political Correctness Brings Weakness! In our country's pursuit of "political correctness…" We're not in a position of strength… But weakness! It's like you can't hardly say anything anymore… And you find yourself outside the courtroom's door! We may think we're strong… But we're weakened! You may ask; "how could all of this happen???" We've attempted to replace God with a "new morality." This has brought a new generation of "moral depravity." We bend our laws to what is called; "constitutional." And forget about what is truth! And what is biblical! Even the ten commandments are often ridiculed and scorned. As a great rise of ungodly living has been formed! A tide of sexual perversion is what has taken place! Bringing into my homes, much heartache and disgrace! God's truth is often "thrown out," and avoided! While a "new kind of living" has often been decided! We need YOU Jesus! Now! More than ever before! Our sins, on the old rugged cross, is what he bore! Jesus is the answer to our problems! He is the solution! His blood can take away all of the sinful pollution! Please dear lord, touch and convict us with your power! Please heal this nation! We need YOU this hour! By Jim Pemberton 09/30/13
Faith Hope and Charity, An eye single To glory of God, Qualifies each person For the work of salvation For all his brothers and sisters Caught in traps of never ending sin, Trying to find escape in Babylon.
Morals, Morality and Ethical Direction… We often hear of morals, morality and ethical direction. What they mean, I suppose, is "one's discretion." Very seldom, is anything from the Bible being heard. Why obey God's commandments? Why, that's absurd! Many claim, that as adults, just about anything is "o.k." As long as you don't do what they do, but what they say! Many are "bombarded" with sexual type of temptations… Often leading many to get into perverse addictions! We set up boards of people to try to be "ethically clean." When it comes down to it… What does this really mean? Can a person be totally immoral, but 100% ethical?' Does this, in some way, seem kind of "heretical?" Why believe in God? He's been ruled "unconstitutional." While many listen to the news, which is often "delusional!" We hear of perversions, that are often "glorified." Do we hear of those wanting to be Godly sanctified? If you're confused, and need some kind of spiritual guide! Look to God's word! He has nothing to hide! The kind of morality and ethics that you'll ever need… Can be found in the Bible! Open it and read! Why not read from Genesis through Revelation? We can all find what we need! Across our nation! God and his word give us a true moral compass for living! His life for our own lives, is what he's freely giving! Won't you come to Jesus for godly direction today? He is here! And wants to help you find HIS way! By Jim Pemberton
I'm not the kind of person I need to be! There's too many problems inside of me! I'm not the kind of person you'd want to know… I've too many worries and a troubled soul! I'm the kind of person who has a lot of stress! Lately, my life has been one big mess! I'm the kind of person who doesn't have a friend. You listen to me now… But may never see me again! I'm the kind of person who's gone through pain! I wake up some days, and don't even know my name! I may not be the kind of person you'd want to be around. I may get discouraged, and "get you down." I'm the kind of person who's giving Jesus a chance… I know he loves me! Whatever the circumstance! I'm the kind of person who needs a lot of prayer! I know that God listens! And is always there! Please help me Jesus! That I may be set free! May it be your love that others will see! Thank you Jesus! For being my savior and friend! You're someone that this person can always depend! I'm not the kind of person that Jesus wants me to be! That's why I need more of HIM! And LESS of me! By Jim Pemberton
EMMANUEL Emmanuel, foretold by prophets long before He came Emmanuel, His is the name above all names He came down from His glory in Heaven To save man from sin was the mission He was given He was Born of a virgin in Bethlehem Town On the night He was born, God's glory came down His birth was heralded by angels on high Who spoke of good will, their voices filled the sky Shepherds left their flocks in the Judean hills alone To see what an angel to them had made known They found the Baby in a manger just as the angel said They left glorifying God, and the Good News was widely spread At twelve, he amazed the elders with questions yet unasked He later told His parents He was doing His Father's task At the age of thirty He began to preach, to teach, and heal the lame He worked miracles, raised the dead, He gained tremendous fame The religious leaders became enraged, His death they did decide They convinced a Roman official that He should be crucified Emmanuel, God with us, freely gave His life for me The day He died on Mount Calvary while nailed upon a tree The third day He rose from the grave, to Heaven did ascend Seated at the right hand of God, He soon will come again He'll take those home to glory who came to believe in Him For those who are not ready, their future is gravely dim Emmanuel, Lord and Savior, Good Shepherd and Messiah Will judge mankind for Heaven or the lake of fire Which place will be your destiny – choose wisely today Welcome good and faithful servant you'll hear your Savior say Emmanuel, Emmanuel, we praise You for Your Love We worship You, and adore You Lord in Heaven above Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, You are King of Kings The saints will forever praise You and make Heaven's portals ring
I don't have all the pieces together; This puzzle is just too much, But God already has it figured out As He is solving this from above.
A Very Inviting Temptation! I remember of a particular situation. I was offered a very "inviting" temptation. The situation I was in... I didn't belong! And lost any sense of "right and wrong." At first... I felt no guilt or shame. And brought embarrassment to my family's name. I tried to explain this to my wife and kids. I heard; "Dad... please... no more fibs!" The Godly principles were "tossed to the side," As the sin inside caused arrogance and pride. Soon, all in my life that truly mattered... Was gone! My life was empty and shattered! I was sorry for all of the problems I caused! This time... I took a moment to pause. I cried to God to rescue me from my sin. I confessed! Would God help me once again? I read in the Bible of Jesus' grace and love! This time the help I needed had to come from above! I asked him for a fresh and brand new start. He removed the stain from a broken heart. He restored to me the joy I once had. I'm so blessed! Jesus has made me glad! Jesus is the reason I'm here today! I LOVE HIM more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton

The Look On My Child's Face… Just yesterday I noticed a look of love on my child's face. This happened in a most "ordinary place." It was in our home. A place by God's design. I felt God speaking to my heart this particular time. I didn't take any time to stop and realize, The look of love and innocence in my child's eyes. "Am I being the kind of Dad God wants me to be?" "Am I being an example of Christ for my child to see?" Have I been demonstrating my God-given ability, teaching my kids God's love, and responsibility? May a Christ-like life in my kids be clearly seen and understood, As one day they will grow into adulthood. I hope that one day my Children will say: "I want to be like my Dad- every single day!" By Jim Pemberton
The old cashmere sweater in my cedar chest always warming my soul on a winters day Ice skating with your true love hand in hand frosty breath brings a warmth to your cheeks Anticipating that very first date first glance the color lightens your way as if Cupid decided this will be a day like no other celebrating in stars above Valentine days Forever It is the day God took hold of your heart and beat it for you ~
I am malleable in God's hands, No one can shape me like He can, He never gives me anything that I can't handle, He always knows what He is doing, No one can compare to Him, He is the father I never had, I can truly trust, love, and honor Him, Because He made me, He loves me, And I love Him, I will never be able to put my heart into someone else's hands with such trust! Because He is love! And I am His. - Inspired by Jeremiah 18:6 Jeremiah 18:6 NIV "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as the potter does? declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hands of potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
INTENSELY IN LOVE As the wind rustles to dance with my hair, I turned to behold before-- placed in furnace of struggles where no one but You Father God, I can hold unto... How you come to my rescue each time I call Your Name. My admission that I need You and so my every submission brings me forth the Spirit of Victory... I weaken and tremble with the pressing trials that stormily comes in my path, that sometimes I come to my knees and fall to deafening cries but as I call unto You You came and soothe my pain... You hugged me everyday with the gift of sunrise that tinge in me a hue of hope. And as I spread my arms, the breeze embraced me reminding me to go on, on and on... Imperfect me fall to the lure of the devil, pride and ignorance, they blind me. They bind me to false beliefs as see they mirror my being human: uncontrollable and a weakling but still Oh God, You come to seek me; You come to reach me; You come to pull me back You come to remind me as ever of your faithful unfailing love... Despite my failures to follow you, so with sins that brought You frowns and worst that brought You to the cross still when I turn to You.... You accept me without second thoughts Focusing more with my present than my past... Your revelations overwhelms my soul that more and more and more I keep on digging deeper to know You. Deeper oh deeper, I am falling in love to You... Hence, no matter what this terrible world brings me no matter what some people do to me I stand steadfast and firm to exclaim my love to You as they--- they can never take that experience, I have with You... Accepting You didn't give an assurance of a life lain on bed of roses alone rather it is by holding unto You, it is by seeing more than these earthly passing things, it is by living like Jesus Christ, Your Son whom You sacrificed that will give me the grace of eternal life.. You love me first before I am loving You... Before I became human You already set for me a future: green, rich and bright... It's just a matter of obeying You Obeying Your will regardless of any hardship that comes Through tears and joys Through sickness and health Through weariness and richness I must obey Your will knowing that selfless total obedience is an expression of love And so, You will bless me from glory to glory... ©O.

Healing Can Only happen, When the Pain is Gone! Healing can only happen, when the pain and damage are gone! It can only come about, when there's no "lists" of wrongs! People need to move ahead, and put all of the past behind them! And seek God's forgiveness, so his grace can find 'em! Too many carry a load of sorrow and grief that they can't afford! They need to bring everything to Jesus, and make him their LORD! How can we experience healing, if the suffering is still there? How will we ever be able to love others, and truly care? May we all seek the kind of healing, that only Christ can bring! May we allow him to remove all pain and suffering! Jesus… We need your healing now! More than ever before! It is your love that we must learn to treasure and adore! Please come now and refresh us with your awesome love! The sweetness of your Holy Spirit, is a gift from above! Thank you God!

By my side: The tallest mountain, The calmest pond, The purest stream; My hope and strength, Faith and love; The Lord, Our God, Always by our side
So you sinned? Well, that's done and over with! Keep it in the past 'Cause that's where it belongs. But ask Jesus for forgiveness; Don't dwell on mistakes any longer Because He makes you new again: Renewed. Love is the outcome; Forget the wrongs, Love and move on!
In the exact moment that I am right now I stand in a sea of vulnerability; susceptible to the effects of causes around me and since I am fully aware, I own my surroundings I am one with sounds and vibrations resonating from the earth; I am that pulse of the drum beat thats been thrashing inside me since birth Right now, I am exactly as I am deeply flawed and misjudged used, victimized and persecuted Right now I am you in the absolute Right now, I am exactly as I am balanced, whole and complete attracting abundance and certainty Right now I am peace - still you Right now, I am exactly as I am You
You've fallen down again; How can you let darkness win? You just scraped your knee, You didn't break your leg. It will all be okay; I will give you strength. Brush it off, my child; Come and take my hand. Let me help you up again; You will be okay. I have always been with you, And I always will be. I am by your side, But this time, Will you allow me to take the lead?
Will you be my hand to hold, Black or white, Red or gold? Lay your head on my chest As I rub yours again. Perfection in your eyes, You welcome me with warmth. You are the answer to all of my prayers; God, thank you. Love is love And this is it. You are The One; May God bless you always, my love. Amen!
Drugs And Sex? Or Jesus Christ? Why do many talk about drugs and sex? But not Jesus Christ? It's almost like many live in bondage, at a cheap price! Is there anyone who'll choose to live for the King of Kings? And experience what everlasting life can really bring? Tell me… Is a life of drugs and sex the "ultimate goal?" To love a life of addictions and heartaches to the soul? When it comes to the power of Jesus Christ… He stands alone! Only he has the power to heal your life and home! Only he can restore the emptiness, that drugs and sex leave behind! And only he can bring a complete healing to the troubled mind! He can restore anything in a life, that drugs and sex have taken! With him as Lord…. There's no one who's ever forsaken! Won't you take the time, to open up your heart and receive him? He offers a life filled with hope and joy! Won't you believe him? Behold! The glory of Jesus Christ! A wondrous savior to behold! He brings life eternal! More precious than silver or gold! Hallelujah! The majesty of Jesus! He can set you free! He offers true peace and joy! And a life for all eternity! By Jim Pemberton 02/09/13
Love is not easy Love is hard Love is time apart Trying not to drown Praying to stay loyal Holding on to lover's promises Dreaming of reuniting Crying tears of hurt and joy Thinking of you constantly Asking God for all the best Love is difficult Love is not easy Love is hard Love is faith Love is hope Love is trust But love is beautiful Oh, so beautiful And love is worth it Oh, so worth it Love is in God's Hands Love is protected Love will come back again Reunion again For God is love In Jesus' Name We pray Amen!
God, I Need Your Forgiveness! God, I need your forgiveness, for things I've done! I need to be washed through the blood of your son! Please take away the heartache and pain! Help me to trust you, when I call on your name! May t take each day to really get to know you! And just take the time to say that I LOVE YOU! May my heart be humbled and broken within! And daily trust Jesus as my savior and friend! I'll always need someone that I can lean on to! I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you! By Jim Pemberton
Thank You Jesus For Changing Me! Jesus reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and "rearranged" it! He brought to me his mercy and care. That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! He restored unto me the joy of my salvation! And brought to my life a heavenly invitation! He gave to me everything that I needed! He brings the victory! Satan is defeated! He really loves you! Won't you believe him? Just reach out to him now! And receive him! By Jim Pemberton
There's a Web of Temptation and Sin! There's a web of temptation and a lot of sin… That brings slavery and a strong bondage within! Throughout this land, there's an evil surge! While many lives, seem to be getting "submerged!" Being submerged, into a life, that many believe in. They become perverted, but want all to receive them! The "love and acceptance," that many desire. Puts them on a tightrope! A very thin wire! As the web of temptation and sin begin to grow. It brings a bondage that damages the soul! They may want to have "love and acceptance." But in their hearts, needs to be a godly repentance! May the holiness of a righteous God be stirred! That all will come back, to the truth of his word! His son Jesus, came to the cross! He bled and died! That through him, our lives can be totally sanctified! Only the power of God, can bring a needed restoration! He gives to one and all… A heavenly invitation! Whosoever will… Come now! And accept him! Won't you take the time, to really know him? Don't allow the web of life to destroy and overcome you! Come to Jesus now! He really does LOVE YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Who am I that you are mindful of me? For my rancid sins you died that day On that cruel cross, you made a way Down through time could you really see? And somehow think of me at Calvary? Just one breath away, every time I pray Overwhelmed, don't know what to say Lord, can it be that you really love me? Yes it's true.. You've given life to love you The potter has made the clay born again Took what was old and made brand new Made me a son and you called me friend Now I'm the bride of Christ, yeah it's true You wooed me as if I were a perfect ten! Form: Italian Sonnet Contest: Regina's "Intimate Relationship Sonnet" Date: 8-31-14
The love of God what can I say It's there for all to see It was love that sent his only son To die for you and me. There is no other love like this That He should die for man Before the foundations of the earth It was salvations plan. This amazing love from God to man Is summed up like this for me Jesus Christ him crucified At the place called Calvary.
Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust? As our courts remove God from this great nation. We are left with a confused and lost generation! As God is taken away from our public schools. A huge tide of immorality is what "rules." The Bible is often mocked and discarded. It was on it's principles this country was started! Just about anything of God seems to get scorned. So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms. As God's name is often tossed and thrown out. We tend to forget what HE is all about! Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused. No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused! As people forget God and worship the fallen creature. They look to themselves and "glorify" their features. Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions. And with this, come disease, heartache and afflictions! As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding." It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking! If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer! He loves all of us! And he really does care! Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in? Won't you allow him to be your master and friend? He brings strength and nourishment to the soul! It's only in him that we can be made whole! By Jim Pemberton
What will you do when you lose everything you own How will you feel when you lose everything you once called home Don't you know They'll stab you through the heart They'll bring you to your knees They won't let you go Until you lose your faith So stand up to the ground Don't let them bring you down Put your faith in God Don't let them bring you down Are you prepared to lose your friends, your family Are you willing to walk the streets alone Do you have faith in God above Do you know what it truly means to fall in love So Stand on your own two feet Hold on to what is true This world is a scary place But God has blessed us with love we can't replace Don't you know They'll stab you through the heart They'll bring you to your knees They won't let you go Until you lose your faith So stand up to the ground Don't let them bring you down Put your faith in God Don't let them bring you down When these troubles come Please my friend Don't give into the fear of death When these troubles come Please my friend Hold on to your faith Never lose what is true to you So Stand on your own two feet Hold on to what is true This world is a scary place But God has blessed us with love we can't replace What will you do when you lose everything you own How will you feel when you lose everything you once called home
Jesus you keep me breathing You are my reason for living Every breath I take to you I'm giving Thanks to you I'm still surviving I have very subtle moments between the inhale and the exhale But I won't let stress provoke me to scream and yell My every breath has become like the metronome that centers my gravity, it gives me a beat That metronome I have is giving my spirit rhythm now I'm moving my feet In my breathing I sometimes find internal rhythm Lately my vision has given my pen wisdom So every word I write from my insightful vision I will inspire From the words I recite that I write, to uplift you and spark that fire Let me catch my breath because I have so much to say I cannot seem to stop because I keep penning it every day Every breath I take is very valuable to me When I breathe my body feels free So every breath I take is words that I say But with those words I rather say I love you to Jesus when I pray "JESUS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS LOVING ME!"
God Gave Me A NEW Life! God reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and I can claim it! God brought to me peace, hope and care… That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! God brought to me the joy of his salvation! And gave my life complete satisfaction! He's given everything that I needed! He gives the victory! I don't have to be defeated! He can do the same for you! Won't you accept him? Just reach out to him now! And believe him! By Jim Pemberton
What if I'm not good enough? What if I'm not good enough to make a difference? What if I'm not a good enough writer? What if I'm not a good enough singer? I know I'm not But who defines what "good enough" is anyway? Is it the person in the arena Doing their best with all they have Or is it the spectator on the sidelines Too afraid to step a foot in? You can think what you want But you don't have to listen You can say what you want But I don't have to listen A label of "good" is irrelevant As long as we pursue our passion The passions God gives to us A label of "good" is irrelevant Replaced by the truth of "worth it" No matter how off-key I sound No matter how empty I ramble It's all worth it All you do is worth it You're worth it We're Children of Christ And we're all worth it!

Whisper me the sweet sound of freedom, The sweet sound found in Your Name, Holy and Heavenly freedom, All in the Name of Jesus!
As I think about where my life has been... It's hard to believe that I'm still here again! I think about the many things I've been through. And ask myself the question; "what am I going to do?" With the trials of life, have come trials. A life filled with uncertainty and many "traveled miles." It's like riding the waves of life's stormy sea. Never knowing where the next wave will take me! Everything I know... And all that I've done… I lay down my life at the feet of Jesus... God's precious son! I ask you Jesus for mercy! I come to you now! I come before your majesty and humbly bow! You've brought love and wholeness within! You've given me a "new life!" And took away my sin! I love and thank you Lord, for your hand extended! The beauty of your holiness is to be commended! You brought to me hope, in a hopeless situation! And have given to me the wonderful gift of salvation! By Jim Pemberton
Satan HATES everything that God loves! He tries to counterfeit everything he does! He goes about as a lion, seeking whom to devour! He comes after us! But God alone has the power! Satan will twist God's truth, into a corruptible lie! He has one mission! And that is to see you die! He wants to enslave you into deep addictions! And bring into your life, unneeded afflictions! He has one purpose, ambition and goal… Is to seek eternal damnation of your very soul! Jesus has come! His TRUTH can set you free! He has come that you may have life abundantly! Won't you accept him? You can overcome! Through the shed blood, and power of God's son! All glory to Jesus! All praise to HIM on high! He is your protector! He is El-Shaddai! Won't you allow God's love to bring you salvation? He offers it to right now! A heavenly invitation! God's love is stronger than Satan! HE reigns supreme! He can help you to overcome, the lies the devil brings! By Jim Pemberton
I seek to love You for Yourself, Not for the profit I will gain; If prison walls are all I know, My love should grow and never wane. Within myself I have not strength To love You, Lord, the way I ought; But if I yield my all to Thee Then You can do what I could not. I love You, Lord, no more than I Love those who closely share my life; And if at them I take offense Or pleasure find in any strife, I have not learned to love at all. So often I have failed the test When most I thought I really loved; Lord, I would learn Your way is best. I must have You! Oh, more and more, I need Your presence in my heart; I cannot have too much of You! It seems I've just begun to start To know the fullness of Your life. Your way of love is far too high For my poor heart to comprehend. I need Your love; my love must die. So love Yourself, my God, through me, And may my life a channel be Where love in rivers, calm and clear, Flows on in true simplicity. Cut deep the gorge within my heart; The stony contents wear away. Let fountains of Your love and joy Burst forth and brighten someone's way.
Jesus' death paid it all! What have you given in return? His death on the cross… Was from his love and concern! His life for yours… On Calvary… Has been paid. His offer of eternal life, has been made! Through God's word, he's been talking! And stands at your hearts door… patiently knocking! Won't you invite him in? As your guest? Then, your life will be totally blessed! He can bring health and healing to your bones! He can bring his love to your family and home! "Come unto me." Is the the master's call. Won't you come to him now? One and all? He's here right now! In this very place… And extends to you his mercy and grace. Won't you accept him today? He loves you more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
Cold touch of wind; lullaby-like i feel As i think of Someone who's culpable on me being like this I am now a strange basin, quietly confused and loudly worried All that fills me is a little pain, a big piece of misery I never thought of this, being a woman of reckless thoughts Someone who only thinks and got nothing to work Somehow it's the sweetest surprise that grasped my whole life That I miss Someone whom i know i can never live without Time runs as if it is restless and burdened Without You, I'm all alone, in silence but miserable Can smile a bit, yet in my eyes there's a point of grief A puppet away from its Master, feels like an orphan with himself Deep breathe i caught, speaks my whole thought I wanna meet you again though in the end of eternal road Even in my empty dream, still I am waiting for You Whispering Your Name, hope you could hear it too I miss the time when I speak with You, confessing my all Giving You my whole weights and surrendering my soul All I have that time is You in my entire world Yet, contentment and happiness are what You have brought I miss the time when i fight for You, with all Your Might I won every battle with Your Words as my knife Into Your hands only I depend and I never lose a single fight And now, I ask myself, how did I afford living You behind? I miss the time when I sing for You with all of my strength My heart shouted praises each time I say Your Name Even though I speak the bestest word one can ever hear It can never be compared by how You made me feel LORD, I miss You so bad, please! show me Yourself Now that I lack Your Presence I lose my whole self I wanna feel You again, You're all that I desire Foolishly seeking for an undeserved loving grace Realization trapped me that i've done everything wrong I know it's never too late for me to come back home My Father, this time, no one could ever snatch me from You You have saved me just once, but it's a lifetime redemption My LORD, my GOD, accept Your desperate child I'm begging for restoration of strength from Your hands Your words give me life, conceal them again in my heart As I obey Your command and recognize Your sacrifice
There's a lot in life, that I don't understand! And a lot of wickedness throughout this land! A lot of heartache and misery, is what I'm seeing! Any kind of commitment, seems to be disappearing! Being faithful to anything, seems to be of the past. My lives seem to be falling apart… And fast! Any principles of Godly living, seem to be ignored. So many appear to be, "complacent and bored." I often wonder what God must be thinking. When it seems like this whole world is "sinking!" I've decided to come to Jesus! And really pray! That people will really listen to what God has to say! "What shall the righteous do, if the foundations are destroyed?" Very soon, many of our "freedoms," will not be enjoyed! Please, dear Jesus, come and heal our broken nation! Help us all to confess our sins! And accept your salvation! Please come and bring your peace and love within! That we may seek the living God! Once again! God is our only hope! It's in him, that we're strong! It's in his arms of mercy, that we all belong! Please God… Come and touch us with your healing! It's only in you, that we have a true meaning! By Jim Pemberton
Every second we're away, We grow stronger everyday Until that day will finally come When we know it's okay And we will rest in each other's arms In peace from God above, No longer missing one another Because we're together; Built forever in each other's love.
Come go with me to eternity, To find our own Dreamland Together we'll walk, hand in hand And live our fantasy. Those we love will all be there Of this you can be sure. Our life will always be secure And free from all despair. The blessings that were ours' here Will also greet us there And life continued as a pair Will not know one single tear There you'll see through eyes of God What your love means to me For love that's always meant to be -- The angels will applaud I do believe there's such a place -- It will not seem so odd To stand before Almighty God And touch His loving face. Written By John Posey 12/30/12
I have fallen victim so many times To nobody's fault except only mine. I will ask for forgiveness and have faith, Even though I feel like I am not saved.
I should have trusted You all along I can now see how You're working all things for good Because God, You are so, so good! I never should have doubted You Not even for a moment Look how things You are turning around Lifting me up Up out of darkness Up out of sadness Up out of depression And now all my pain and misery Are a past glimpse of history An experience I needed to go through To simply learn and learn to trust You Through it all Low and tall You've brought me here to this place On the mountain we stand You take me in Your Hand To show all Your opportunity awaits You love me in Your Welcoming Embrace From looking back to looking forward I'll shout for Your Love Saved by Amazing Grace Future placed carried by The Dove.
M other we honor her.... O vercomer in trials and tribulations, T ruthful for she keeps her word and her obligations. H elpful to all that needs a helping hand, E verlasting love through time that stands. R ighteousness of Christ, S elfless from start to finish through her life. L ove that is enduring... O nly with her love, she is always reassuring. V isits the lonely whenever she can, E ternally blessed, with Jesus love she stands. Dedicated to my mother who has stayed with our family through thick and thin... Written in May of 2009...This poem was written when she was in the nursing home. On her birthday of June 27th of this year she would have been 83, But is now with the Lord since August 17, 2010.
At the ripe old age of nineteen Feeling ashamed for not living on campus Feeling embarrassed for still living with parents I should be "up there" I say Where students have fun miles away Comparing myself to friends my own age Who are independently gauged I'll write on a blank page And spend my hours in the library all day To make up for time others are in the dorm So we're neck-in-neck inside my mind's storm Gratefully excited dreams beginning At the school childhood dreams have long awaited But I still don't feel like a student Because I'm home right now, not in the Union I don't tell others I'm in college Because I am commuting To me I feel like that's saying You're a doctor while you're still training I plaster faces in my mind Of who I want to be like And allow others to rule my decisions Because I can't control mine It's like I'd rather be a stereotypical society member In pain and emotional misery But overarching happiness to fit in Than to be myself as God has created Like I preach to those who feel downgraded And so now I must make a decision On how to view myself without the world's mention This is the dream I've been waiting for Yet I've already found a way which to ruin If I'm going to make a positive difference Where I believe God is calling me Then I must view myself differently As God views me If we're going to make a positive difference In our lives where God is leading us Then we must view ourselves differently As God views us I am worth it We are worth it I am not alone We are not alone I love myself, who God created me to be We love ourselves as God creates us to be I love others as Jesus loves me We love others as Jesus loves us I don't have to be perfect We don't have to be perfect But I am the perfect me as God has envisioned But we are the perfect us as God has envisioned I will not compare myself to others We will not compare ourselves to others Because I am perfect as God has created me Because we are perfect as God has created us Thank You God Thank You Jesus Thank You Holy Spirit I love You We love You Please use me in anyway You can Please use us in anyway You can Thank You I am Yours We are Yours Thank You In Jesus' Name We pray Amen! God, please grant us strength To accept ourselves As You accept us Thank You Jesus Amen!
We all have a story to tell. Ups and downs, Together, we've been through it all; God has led us through it all. Trust Him; It's all for a reason. All your pains, All your struggles, All your hurts- They're all for a reason. God has a bigger plan, One we cannot see. Trust Him and pray. Remember, We are all in this together.

We are all in this together. Listen to His praises ring; Let's praise Him together. Listen to sister Fantasia sing, "Sometimes you gotta lose to win again." Thank You Father! Amen!
Stuck in the prison of my own life, I dodge behind these walls I built. And inside is a demon covered in guilt And shame so thick you can't see his eyes. God, please help me to see No matter what, You will always love and be with me. Thank You Father for everything. In Jesus' Name, We pray. Amen.
The Fear of the Lord Brings Wisdom! The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is a helpful key to enter his kingdom! This encourages a reverence for his holy name! Having God's wisdom, can spare us, so much shame! God loves and cares for us! And listens when we pray! Through his son Jesus, his love has been displayed! He's given to us his word, as a way to remind us… We may get lost… But God's love will find us! Having a Godly fear, will nourish the soul! Having his wisdom will help make us whole! Won't you seek the Lord? While he may be found? He can pick you up, when you feel you're losing ground! Come one and all! All of heaven does proclaim… Anything you need… You can find in Jesus' name! Please, dear lord, bring your presence and love! And guide us with your wisdom and spirit from above! By Jim Pemberton
I have some choices to face, But these are not my decisions to make. God told me what He wants me to do; He said, "Listen, Son, I have a plan for you."
On Grandma's bedroom wall hung pencil sketches To inspire me and draw me in, never fail The hands in prayer our daily blessing fetches The cuffs rolled back, work ready, in the detail The fingerprint motif of light on hands To give us notice we are unique – and His Strong thumb accentuating Holy Bands Steeple elongated fingers, preaching Bliss On The Tree, He died for our earthly sins (The cross marked in the veins of the left hand) He wished to spare us the suffering since Love and compassion, for which we should stand Only in Truth can we realise beauty The Hands setting the example of: "Thank Ye!

I picked up a penny face-down, But I don't believe in luck. Everything happens for a reason; God's mercy frees the stuck. Redeem me, Heavenly Father; Please, I know the wrong I've done. Thank You for dying for me; My sins You have overcome!

Getting sleepy with eyes falling tired Drift away into a new sense of wonder Longing for purpose that seems to fade away With every step, God whispers, "Stay... "Slow down My Child, you're going too fast Take a look around at My Home for you at last Take all in the Love I have for you And don't fret over fear of what I want from you I love you Child more than you could ever know You are My Child; I am your Home And I will never let you go All I want is for you to love Me too Welcome Home, My Child I love you."
Stand up and shake; Feel the rhythm in your heart. Ignite those pants; We get up and dance. God on our mind, Eternity in our souls; Feel the chills of those bones. It's the hope. Open those closed doors: Into Heaven we go, Welcomed and forgiven. Here is the love; Let's dance!
You wake me up with Your endless light So beautiful in shining, so bold, so bright! You paint the landscapes and let Your love shine For the whole world to see, to feel Your gorgeous life!
You are in my heart wherever I go; You I will never let go. You are with me always; You I am always. This is love. Build by God above, This is love.
Eternal faith; Love in His name. Saved by grace; Never erased.
Follow your dreams and follow your heart; God has shown you the path to start. Never give up and always have faith; Do what you love and enjoy this place!
Like a cherry tree in the spring, God if this is meant to be, Please let this blossom.
Run, run, run and give it all up! Into His arms, commend your love! Through Him, you are saved! What a beautiful, glorious day!
Are You Ready to Meet Jesus? One day soon, there'll be A meeting In the air! God's people will gather, from everywhere! Jesus will return,, for you and me! He wants to take us all! For eternity! People will be there! Both young and old! Being with Jesus forever! On streets paved with gold! When he comes, no one knows! When he does, may we be ready to go! Live you life, as if He came right now! One day, before him, Every knee shall bow! May we live a Godly life, in everything! As we look forward to, the return of the king! By Jim Pemberton
It's not the same without you; The days are rainy and the nights are blue. My heart is crying and God is too, But we are smiling, waiting here for you.
I often shrink back and lose my faith, God's love with abandon I crave and chase, I have moved mountains with just a glimmer of hope, I have enslaved nations and to children sold dope, I am the salt of the earth and a scourge of mankind, I strive with all that I am to dwell in Christ's mind, I am caught up in fear and many of its lies, I intercede against the enemy so that all might rise, I reflect Christ perfectly and defame his name, I have the courage of David and bare Judas' shame, I have betrayed and been loyal, I am Battered and bruised, triumphant and royal, I have victimized others and acted in malice, With many afflicted I have shared his love's chalice, I am divine and depraved, I am soiled and saved, I am a Christian, caught up in hypocrisy's web, And many to the light of love I have led, I am a Christian and when my fullness is revealed, You will see the lame walk, and the afflicted healed, I am a Christian and though I don't look it now, One day you will see me and your heart will scream loud, That you have seen God incarnate in all of her glory, That you have seen a solution to this life's worry, That you have seen the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost too, I am a Christian, I love Jesus, and so can you, And together we will fall and together rise high, To embrace our blessed savior in the cosmic sky.
Always running late; Just taking time to enjoy it. Life is a car speeding fast, But it's better to be stuck in traffic.
Sometimes I get stuck in the struggle And I forget that this life is real, Full of real love, Full of real people, Full of real strength, Full of real faith. Look around Because this is real. Welcome to reality; This is God's amazing life!
The True Meaning of Easter! The true meaning of the Easter story, Is God's Son came down to Earth from glory. Jesus really does love you and me. He was born to die that you might be free. For 33 years, he lived among sinful men. Then one day was to be an atonement for our sin. He who was born of the virgin Mary's womb. Was to one day rise again from an empty tomb. So many people today have gotten into a bad habit, of replacing Jesus with the bunny rabbit. So please reach out to others and let them know, Of the lover and redeemer of their soul. The true meaning of Easter must forever be said. Of God's son who died, but arose from the dead! By Jim Pemberton
He has allowed us to live; Go and breathe in. Can't you see, this is it; He won when He said, "It is finished." We live Because He cried, "It is finished." Our burdens are gone; He carried them on the cross. He lifted our cross. He took the loss. He suffered our pain So we could gain. Thank You Jesus. We give You praise. We don't know what to say.
It would be too easy to not believe And not have faith in all He wants us to see. But I don't want to risk my life being saved Because of a choice I was refusing to make.
Looking down from 41 above, I only wish I was below. The sights and sounds so clear to see Glitz as white as snow. The lights are distant to the mountains And the cabs travel around. The brightest city in the world Beams into the heart of this little town. God please give me the grace to see You are all I need.
I log on, open up, and close the screen Too afraid to look, too afraid to follow my dream Afraid of the weapons they hold that are actually support Afraid of being myself 'cause that's vulnerable I can either run with my worry Too nervous to see what God is doing Or in faith I can follow His every leading Scary yes but I'll pray for this is His dream for me
May We Speak the Goodness of God! I heard a Christian speak... Oh, the kinds of words he was using! Perhaps, to him, it was "entertaining and amusing." I couldn't believe the profanity and cursing that came out! Is this what the purpose of our life is all about? The bible says; "we speak out of the abundance of our heart." We need to think of what we say! Before we start! God knows that many of us stumble along the way. We have said things that later, we knew, we shouldn't say! If we're going to continually speak ungodly things. We need to think about what, to our life, this really brings! Think about the influence, we have on our kids! They listen to what we speak! And how we live! May the Holy Spirit bring power and conviction! And help us to say that which brings edification! May the word of God enrich our body and soul! May it help us speak that which is good, honorable and whole! May we seek to daily bring honor to Jesus! In what we do! May this be a commitment both for me and you! Jesus is worthy of our lips, bringing him glory and praise! Let's seek to bless him! During our remaining days! Please Jesus, anoint our tongues with your cleansing fire! May we speak the things of God, as our passion and desire! By Jim Pemberton
We have eyes in the front of our head Because God created us to look forward To aspire To dream To reach higher With our eyes We will see all we see With His Sight We will become all we are born to be Reach out farther One step closer Up to Our Father To dream To aspire Because God created us to look forward
The Great "I AM" that could not stand Yet held the fate of man in hand. Jehovah Jireh laid to rest Upon the milk of Mary's breast. The Prince of Peace of priests despised Would heal the lame and open eyes. Infant, holy radiant infant When God became a babe. Through Christ, a way to God had come And hope's foundation laid. Who scarce can ascertain the depth And wonder of His birth. Humility perfected, When Jehovah came to earth.
Someone Felt Like Giving Up! I know someone who wanted to give up. Things in life began to "trip him up." After much thought and contemplation. He really offered no real explanation. He felt like his life was at a "dead end road." He said he couldn't continue with a heavy load. No matter how many different things he tried. He was not happy… Nor satisfied! He began to share a piece of his mind… He was ready to leave everything behind. The choices that he had sometime ago… Began to "wear" at his heart and soul! I tried to encourage him the best I could. But I'm not sure he really understood. As I watched him go his separate way… I said; "there's something I wanted to say." "There's a God who reigns in haven above!" "He wants to fill you with his hope and love!" "He knows and cares about everything you'll do!" "He's loving and kind!" "And wants to help YOU!" As I spoke, I could see he thought for a minute. A commitment to God… He decided to give it! He decided to give it all to a God who won't fail him! He wanted to serve a God, who wants to bless him! He's happy now that this choice was taken! With Jesus… He's never alone nor forsaken! By Jim Pemberton
I'm sure that home to many has a different meaning. It depends what kind of life they've been receiving. There are those with memories of hurt and pain. Some may not want to mention their families name. Others have childhood memories they are fond of. They may have a family that they're proud of! I think that in many cases, home is not what people see. It has a lot of importance. Both to you and me! What home means to me is to have our family together. And ask the Lord to bless it, with his love forever! God gave me a wife and children to take care of. May I not do things that I'd be ashamed of! I invite YOU Jesus, to be the head of our home! May we come together as a family, around your throne! May our family serve one another as we should. May the truths of God's word be applied and understood! May the Lord help us to get along, with our imperfections. May God's word be our "road map," for needed direction! There's no perfect home. Believe me! I know it! When it comes to family time… We all need to show it! Unless the lord builds the home… They labor in vain that build it! Let's seek God's blessing! So his love can completely fill it! Please come Jesus! And fill our home today! May our home be honored by what we do and say! By Jim Pemberton
I had no Mentor when I formulated My Core Belief ** Read the Bible, (words of My God), in my youth In my own grief ** Through HIS Word, I learnt the meaning of LOVE His Resurrected Truth ** Constantly Praying, I would walk thru the mist : I had created ** As a tear, crawling down the weathered contours Upon my face ** Lasting for the Eons of FOREVER; My Faith endures LOVE Embraided ** My human Heart, casting shadows of my Soul With HIS Holy Grace ** Author's Note : Please read the starred lines as the last verse: My Core Belief In my own grief etc. Dedicated with Prayers and LOVE to Toquyen Harrell
If its money I got its money ill keep. If its money I have its money ill weep. If its love that I give its love ill receive. For I am but no one who just see's beneath. Some say your only as strong as you feel, but how could we change..in a place that's so unreal. People are hearing but..not really hearing. Why is the world so blind. I keep on screaming and screaming and screaming for things to be revolutionized. I am just a small song in a world full of cries, laughter, tears and french-fries.
As sin and perversion often become integrated… So many lives and families are being "disintegrated." Many are being driven by sin's temptation force… It's no wonder much of this country is way "off course." The morality and values that once made a great nation. Are evaporating…. Leading to a "spiritual separation." Love, honor, and respect of God… Is often a "thing of the past." Anything of God seems to be disappearing FAST! God is our only hope! And him alone! Only he can bring healing to our broken homes! He's the answer to this wounded nation, that bleeds! It's only God that can meet all of our needs! He's our provider… The great: "I am!" Won't you reach out to him? And give him your hand? Why not give him a chance? And allow him in? A brand new life for you… Is waiting to begin! May we allow God's holiness and love to reach down into our hearts… Asking; "Lord please forgive our sins!" Is a good place to start! By Jim Pemberton
What Shall I Do? For the One Who Gave So Much? What shall I do? For the one who gave so much? God reached down, and blessed me, with his touch! What shall I do? To my lord who bled and died? It was for my life, that Jesus was crucified! What shall I do? To the God who truly loves me? He has made it know that he wants to be with me! What shall I do? For the many who've "lost their way?" Please dear Jesus… Give me the right words to say! What shall I do? As my way of, expressing my gratitude? May God help me to have a Christ' like attitude! What will YOU do? In this time that God's given to you? He's here right now! And is patiently waiting for you! What will YOU do? Will you give God a chance ? Won't you accept his salvation? Whatever the circumstance? What Christ will do… Is to do, what he does best! Simply give him your life! He'll take care of the rest! What Christ has done…. Is to give life everlasting! Everything you need… Is right here, for the asking! By Jim Pemberton
Lord, I do not know what to do; Please, lead me by Your side. Decisions I'm facing are lost and through; Please, lead me to do what's right.
I woke up this morning with another bravery hangover One of the worst I've experienced Dear God, please never let me feel this way again Amen Headache and nausea Emotions of regret and depression Creeping into my bloodstream And fear taking place of my medicine Last night was tremendous I prayed full of excitement, strength, courage Then I awoke to the days wonder Of a previous night's drunken adrenaline stumper Dazed and confused Sweaty asking "What did I do?" Wishing I could take it all back Wanting to crawl straight again into bed Disengage because I'm worthless And not worth the dreams I chase Last night I was so free Following the man I want to be Chasing these goals that have been placed before me Running tirelessly smiling To the vision ahead Where being brave is key And fear is buried underneath I acted on that bravery I prayed for And last night it was so worth it Then I woke up this morning To reality reversed again Where my acceptance of "not good enough" is normal But I'm done with all these hangovers They won't hang around no more Because I won't let them happen With God all things are possible And I pray to stay drunk on brave For then I'll never feel new morning regret Since when that feeling comes in again We rise stronger in courage Make a toast to bravery And engage Because we're worth it Perfectly perfect as God created us to be Brave May God bless you always!
Jesus Is the Best Thing That Happened to Me! Jesus is the best thing that happened to me! He loves me so much! It's plain to see! Jesus has provided everything I need, to get tough! If it wasn't for him… I don't know what I'd do! Jesus has come, that I might life so abundantly! He's given me all I need… Most assuredly! He does for me, what nothing in this world, could ever do! And completely understands, everything I go through! He brings his peace, hope and a blessed satisfaction! I can have fellowship with him! A "heavenly interaction!" He can restore what the enemy has stolen and taken away! He brings a true meaning! And has changed me today! I'm very thankful! For all that he's provided! I'm going to live for him! This has already been decided! Thank you Jesus! My lord and my best friend! You've done so much for me! Over and over again! I praise your name! And want you to know… I'll tell others of your goodness… Wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton
Broken promises Meaningless words Empty feelings Secrets unheard Thoughts racing Heart wondering Feet pacing Tears thundering Illusion of love Faking of fate Imitation of above Leaking out hate Purity in the day Darkness at Sun fall Finding a way To conquer it all We unite Infiltrate We Fight Love over hate
At the corner of Madison and Huron, The faint pedestrian appears. A couple holding hands walking swiftly As police pass near. Cane in his hands Walks a younger looking man, Rolling his suitcase along A central corner in a downtown city Where faith, hope, and love belong. May God bless you Toledo, Today and forevermore.
LOVE Love is a word that's hard to define It has meanings that cloud the mind The country boy says, I love my truck The gambler says, I love good luck A farmer will tell you he loves rain City folks say the farmer's insane Some folks say, I love pizza and beer Children love Santa Claus, hunters love deer What or whom do you love, and why Is it the smell of roses or a bright blue sky Perhaps you love a dog or a cat Of course, there's nothing wrong with that God so loved the world He gave His Son We all should love Jesus for what He has done He left riches in glory, came down from above Died on the cross just to show us His love So I ask again, who do you love Is it God and His Son in Heaven above Then love each other in this same way And hear, well done my child, on judgment day Curtis Moorman 8 April 2013
Read the Bible and the words that are said. Times of trouble and tribulation are ahead! All one has to do is read the book of revelation. To read about this world and this nation! Days of wickedness and evil that abounds.. Shall very soon. Come "crashing to the ground!" For our sin, there's a price that has been paid! Many have become sin's servant and slave! Many will not escape God's judgment and wrath! They've chosen the wrong direction and path! Right now... There's a path and a way to "escape!" Please do it right now! Before it's too late! The right path to take, is through Christ alone! He must be the lord of your heart and home! Jesus alone, can bring hope to your soul! He'll never leave you! Is what he wants you to know! Times of trouble and uncertainty are well on their way! Christ can help you to overcome! He can do it TODAY! By Jim Pemberton
Play The Radio Get Up And Dance All Night Long Music Heals The Soul
God Is Good! All the Time! God is good! All of the time! I'm so thankful, he's a friend of mine! His goodness reaches beyond the stars! He's always here! Never too far! His goodness reaches, beyond our understanding! And gives life freely! And it's everlasting! His goodness brings comfort, Peace, and hope! And helps me down, life's "slippery slopes!" Please, dear God, May your goodness flow! And bring much needed strength to my soul! Your goodness always strengthens my spirit! Help me to be willing, to freely share it! By Jim Pemberton
I did it again; I need forgiven. Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before? I've fallen into these same sins countless times before; I still haven't learned my lesson. I am an ignorant hypocrite. Am I still forgiven?
Silence has spoken From the roaring of the tides God is a river
Why are you so devilishly addicting? I come back from you, It looks like I'm on drugs: High and drunk, Out of my mind. The demons inside us braid hairs Until we're peaceful meadows apart, Nuclear wars together.
Jesus gave His life for me, So why shouldn't I do the same? He took our hurt and misery; Thank You Jesus for burdening my pain.
Rob me of my purity, But once again it's all my fault; Fell into the trap of false promises Because I pressed play instead of pause.
When can I say I love you, Without it being premature? Do you search for the one that wants to Prove you're worth fighting for? When will your walls break down, And your heart speak what I'd say? Tell me, what time is right now, And when this love is okay? ©2013 Poetic Justice For P.D.'s "Longing Poems" Poetry Contest 6th Place
I'll search for love that keeps me inspired Amidst the images of hate that leave me tired I'll focus on positivity They laugh and point and stare at me I smile back eternally happy God's life is too great I'll love, not hate.
My ego is never enlightened to my own selfishness I think that is a sense of meaninglessness Now days to help someone it is very imperative, That for God I use my talents to be creative To bring peace I want to sing this song, spreading joy so sing along I want to dance to give homeless children a chance To spread the gospel I want to preach, I'm God's disciple; lost souls I want to save and reach I love to write to motivate and inspire, to help spark your spirit inside on fire In this violent and cruel world we shall overcome With the help of others this too shall be done I will walk the path of my choosing, and if any other (soul) shall join me I will share my allotted portion of love that this universe has granted me, but Jesus made me free The filth and hate in our hearts is constantly tearing us apart; Our selfishness and pettiness has made us blind Have we all lost our minds? Sometimes our own corruption is our own understanding In our lives when we are feeling pain that is more then we can bear, I thank God for keep me standing "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal." Albert Pine
Do you hear the train a'whistlin'? I wonder where she's a'goin'. Can she be boundin' toward freedom? Well, there's freedom in Jesus! And that's all we need!
As A Parent, I Want My Kids to Serve God! As a parent, I'm trying the best that I can…. Though there are things that I don't understand! I remember my parents teaching me right and wrong. And taught that God's laws certainly belong! I've tried to share these values with my kids too… The choices they've made, and the things they do! When situations in life, seem to have changed… I know that my heavenly father remains the same! I think about what in life, to my kids, I have given… And pray they'll serve God all the days they're livin'! Even though I've failed and stumbled along the way… I hope I've taught my kids how important it is to pray! This family that God gave to me, has grown over a period of time. I'm thankful for the opportunity to call them "mine." I pray they'll seek God's guidance! Wherever they go! May the word of God strengthen and nourish their soul! And as my kids get older, and they move out on their own… May they seek God's love and protection over their home! I pray that my children will give God their very best! May they serve him daily! And let him take care of the rest! I'm trying my best, as a parent, to trust Jesus and believe! His goodness, in our lives, is what we need to achieve! By Jim Pemberton
Standing on the stage all alone, I have a decision to make: Turn around and run back home Or stand tall and be brave. I could leave in fear Like thousands of times before, Or I could stay up here As they lock the escape door. The crowd stares at me in anticipation, Waiting for my feet to fail and stumble So they can laugh and point in reaction To my vulnerability as I tumble. They'll walk away and say I failed; They can laugh and point all they want. But with God up here when everyone bailed, He comforts for courage and bravery won.
bring home a sweet memory in every doing leave back nothing but take them home a saviour waits in your midst never forget take them all back home where they belong from your heart to your soul its always yours no matter when your time is right home surely is no matter how far yet with a hope they wait all for a home one waits, like a rain and a cloud nothing breaks it apart day or nightfall it comes even sometimes to a surprise like a thief at night do not forget take all back home on a Calvary hill where it all begin waiting to take you home peace and security, love and joy free at will in his arms as he waits remember your heart alone it matters most for its you and for you like rain and clouds never leaving you out of his sight, a sinner or not it doesn't matter only your heart to draw you home give it all you have till you have no more its all free for now just take me home.
Speak words of gentle faith and hope, to those whose burdens lay heavy upon their shoulders, weary with defeat. Share with them the love of Jesus, offer them helping hands. Give them respite from the weight of their heavy loads. Be a friend to those without friends, be a light in the dark. Share your strength with the helpless, just like Jesus did. 6/15/13 Shadorma form
The silent bell rings in the night, Calling the devils to kneel to the light, What once was, becomes no more, As the light breaks through the open door. What you think and what you feel, What you saw and thought was real, Is now only dust on the road, The desolate remains of your ancient abode. The new light is rising on the hill, The new song is singing down in the well, The new souls are dreaming of your face, The new hearts are beating at you pace. The old ideas and reasons you gave, Are buried in the tomb and in the grave, The rotting bone and flesh are gone, In the morning dew, in the morning sun. The light shines through the open door, Casts no shadow on the old dirty floor, The ancient laws of reason and might, Crumble to dust in the morning light. What once was real and certain as rock, Is now the dream the baby forgot, The new light coming to wake you my love, The silent lamb and the flying dove. more of my poems at : http://labyrinthoflies.com
Dreams on hold Patience is a virtue, I'm sold
My dream woman: A woman of virtue, a woman of character, a woman of integrity, a woman of love, a woman of ideas, a woman of passion, a woman of tenderness, a woman of industry, a woman of wisdom, a woman of faith, a woman of trust, a woman of prayer, a woman of staying power, a woman of grit, a woman of hope, a virtuous woman full of beauty who can find? If you know any tell me, i will sell off all i have got to pursue such a rare thing I will try to last heart beat till she is mine and mine alone such i would love cherish and die for
So Much to Do! So Little Time! There's so much to do in life, and so little time to do it! There's been goals in life... But I simply "blew it!" I think about what God has offered and what he's given! I haven't allowed him to be the Lord of how I'm livin'! He gave to me two great parents and food on the table! He's given me the ability to work. And to be able! As I look back with the time that I've enjoyed. I think about the time that I was unemployed! They were times of leaning on God and his love! I asked for his protection and blessings from above! With the little time, that I have here on earth… I'm going to ask the Holy Spirit, to give me a "new birth." A "new birth" to be the kind of person God wants me to be! And to ask for him to have his will, to be done through me! I want to serve Jesus, for the rest of my remaining days! To read and study his word! And do what it says! The time I take to have with Jesus, is time will spent! I seek to do his will for me, and to daily be content! Thank you my Lord for listening to what I have to say! Please come Lord Jesus and bless my time today! By Jim Pemberton
Like joyous green of summer, my heart is singing filled With you, while winter`s white is witness of good willed; The glass works and the hot red wine spreading light: Comforting carols "Silent Night" or "Brad Frumos". Comforting thoughts of good like good miners, And cakes a lot with names of saints and sinners Looking the heart of sweet cherries strudel under the sight Of mother humming "Silent Night" or "Brad Frumos". Smoldering embers and feeling like hot chocolate With scent of incense offered to every Christian mate Under the new temptation of good and hope of right Teaching of church on "Silent Night",under "Brad Frumos" The sacrifice of the pig, a ritual Symphony in red, At the other side of modal logic, with wine and bread And slaughtered pig and soured soups that might Be prepared and savored on "Silent Night" ,near "Brad Frumos" The aromatic smoke ascending, and dancing heavenly Like our attempt to preserve and conserve not only The clay and flash creature but also the inner light And so many candles to see the Light on "Silent Night"...
If I only had a chance To show you how I feel You would surely know That my feelings are real It would only take a minute To move upon your heart And look into your eyes Knowing I'll always do my part Just to whisper in your ear while holding you close to me saying we're made for each other like we are suppose to be Just for my dear friend I want to put you in a trance And really blow your mind If I only had a chance.
Faith is not failing me, I am failing Him. Why do I refuse to accept His grace? Why would I rather live my life on my own When He is extending a helping a hand? I am depressed, Dead on my own, But I am alive in Him! I give my life to Him for real; I give Him my all, And now I'm alive Because He gives me life!
You pick me up and fly me away; Oh my baby, what a beautiful day! Like a rock, you are strong to withstand the motion, And your love runs deep, the heart of the ocean.
Turn on the love to motivate me; There's no energy on hand. When work to be done is shadowed by rest, Remember you were saved by a crucified man.
Send me to the darkest places; That's where I feel You strongest. A kiss and hug down the deepest alleys; Never letting go, Your love is the strongest.
No longer here to sulk; That only yields more pain. Here I am to live these words: I am forever changed.
The Lord brought to me a blessing in my life! He's blessed me with such a wonderful wife! Help me Lord to not be deceived by other things I see… May I continue to love the wife you gave to me! Help me to give her my undivided attention! And to give all of my love and affection! In my her, may I daily seek her inner beauty! And treat her like the finest diamond and ruby!
Bedroom demons staring back at me After a night of broken, turbulent ecstasy Why isn't Jesus rolling His Eyes at me? Instead He is smiling, welcoming me Maybe this is what it takes for me to get it That I'm in need, perfectly imperfect I judge myself but God still loves me For Jesus has died, sacrificed to save me
This is the day which the lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. But we rather be sad in it We rather hate in it Kill, Steal and Destroy Boast about our joy Money, Cars and Cloths Tell us you got all the hoes Why do are women want to be hoes Why we dancing on poles Men don't you know women are a key ingredient to our souls Women don't you know, your worth more than pure gold Platinum, Crystals, and Diamonds This is the day which the lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glade in it. That is the only way we are going to save our planet We have to make our way, because we are here to stay Hold on to what is right, believing in your rights Love is the only weapon you need to fight Because This is the Day where everything change This is the Day where we are only calling on one name This is the Day where we all get to see them fancy things This is the Day where there are no more nightmares and only dreams This is the Day where you will see greener pastures and blue streams This is the Day where we all are announced kings and queens This is the Day Heaven begins to sing
Now I'm just a failure Too afraid to make a mistake. I've already been there, Stuck in a route that leaves no breaks. What is Your plan for me Father? At once I thought I knew. Now I'm disillusioned; Please bring me back to You.
UNSUPPORTED CODE What Will I Do? Where Will I Go? What will I do? Where will I go? Which direction I'll take… I don't really know! In just a moment, I lost all, that I worked hard to get… I'm thinking of "letting go." But haven't done it yet… The things I held so close... Have all disappeared. It happened so fast. It's kind of "weird." Those I call my friends, don't really know what to say. Most of them shake their heads, and walk away! I've cried myself to sleep many days and nights. It's like someone has "turned off the lights." The only one I know, that I can turn to, is Christ alone! I need him to heal my broken heart and home. Dear Jesus, will you take some time to help me out? I know that helping people is what you're about! Please help me to pick up the pieces that are scattered! Help me to focus on the things in life that really matter! I need to give you, all of my focus and attention! I need your word to show me some clear direction! You're the one that I always need to hold on to! I need to do this, and to completely trust you! Thank you Jesus for listening and answering my prayer! I'm thankful that you're someone who really cares! Thank you for restoring my life, that has been "up-ended." With your love, my heart has been healed and mended! By Jim Pemberton
Dedicated to all of the guys who helped me to make the checklist - thanks! The Empty Rib Slot I think I might have A perfect checklist Highlights from men Gathered now missed Yes special highlights Each man carried some Now added to my checklist For a guy having it all in one This could be the key to find The man I'm dreaming of Not with bits and pieces One filled full of love A man made for me No it would be not I should fit perfectly Into an empty rib slot Let me share this list With every one of you Then decide for yourself If it could possibly be true My first check comes from This guy with dreamy eyes He deeply touched my soul Way more than ever realized He even had a special smile That made you want to grin No matter if life was down He encouraged me to win There was the big hugger With squeezes oh so tight He lifted me off the floor Like if I was taking flight He never did grow tired Of giving me those hugs I never had to ask for them He always did it out of love Then there was the dancer He stayed light on his feet He loved dancing with me Carrying rhythm and a beat Now of course on this list There certainly has to be That best friend I count on Who can also count on me I am even going to count The good points of quality Generated from my brothers And even from my daddy From them they all carry A very good temperament Always being so easy going Not looking for an argument When I am nestled in that slot With a perfect feel of passion All of his glory will then shine As it eludes from my reflection The most important one of all He who shares a spiritual side Being spiritually open with me Not allowing his beliefs to hide I know how this all may sound Like a crazy thing that I've got I want the man I fit snuggly with When I match his empty rib slot Florence McMillian (Flo)
Lord, please forgive me. I need You. I messed up. Please, save me. Thank You. I trust You. I love You. I am a hypocrite. Please, change me. Thank You. Amen.
Our Ancestors fought to the death, Just so we can live a brighter day, So before you light up that blunt of meth, Think about what you're giving away, It was a glad day in history when Obama rose to victory, The first black president was all we knew, Dark skin is in! Haven't you heard? That even in our community, You can get burned, It's a sad day when people would rather stay home and "Crank That Amber Cole", Than get up and run to a poll, In our community, Rockin' Luis V is better than having a college degree, And teen pregnancy is not only a trend, But the single motherhood that follows should end, Young girls learn of a wonderful prince to take them away, Nothing should change thought their mothers prince didn't stay, And as the tears fade away, She grows stronger every day, In our community, Fighting is no longer a word, You argue with someone and shots are heard, Girls showing places the sun don't show, So how do they expect the community to grow? Where love is a figment of imagination, Making a young child question her creation, Young mothers would rather buy the iPhone 5, Then satisfy her baby's cries, While her new man's eye, Wander up another girl's thighs, In our community, Where #team dark skin vs #team light skin, Makes others not love the skin they're in, Love, lust, hate, and trust, Giving a rose on Valentine's Day is no longer a must, Where bad is good and good is bad, Who would think to see their grandmother sad? Her hurt and pain, Shows how our community has lost everything her parents fought to gain.
We went to Grandma's house the other day! And brought some gifts along the way! We enjoyed our time and our wonderful visit We're glad we had time with her! We wouldn't miss it! We took her out and did some shopping in town… There were some good buys waiting to be found! We had a chance to have dinner with her too! This was an opportunity we wanted to do! We had a chance to talk about the days of past. Our memories of her, is something that will last! We enjoyed our time with grandma! Yes we did! She always has something worthwhile to give! We thank the Lord for a special grandma like this! Our times together have been happy and bliss! Please take good care of her Lord, is our prayer! Keep her in your tender mercy and care! We look forward to the next time we spend together! She'll always be our grandma! Today and forever! By Jim Pemberton

Bedroom door is closed; I'm feeling so alone. Even though I'm laying bed, I don't feel like this is home. Even though I'm laughing with my friends, I still feel alone Even in this quiet, perfect home. Lord, we need You. Thank You. In Your Name, We pray. Amen.

Just one night Please baby Just one night I want to give you my heart I wanna give you my soul This life's too hard to live alone So could you please Just one night And I'll be alright Cause I know When the night goes on And I forget what road I'm on I stare in your eyes And I know I'll fly Cause I know I'll always have Music and you This life always seems To shove me down This world always seems To take my crown But through it all I will stand tall Music is my anchor That points me to the savior Cause I know When the night goes on And I forget what road I'm on I stare in your eyes And I know I'll fly Cause I know I'll always have Music and you Through the tears Of this tragedy Your beauty Brings a melody You're music to my soul You make me whole Won't you take my hand Dance through this foreign land Cause I know When the night goes on And I forget what road I'm on I stare in your eyes And I know I'll fly Cause I know I'll always have Music and you Just one night Please baby Just one night I always want Music and you
For twenty-one years our love was tied The one person in whom I'd confide God knows we had a beautiful ride You were my bride Traveled together, we saw the world We dreamed on the stars all unfurled Life was a dance we gave it a whirl You were my girl In early morning we'd listen to chimes Back door open we'd love these times We were a poem with perfect rhymes You were my greatest lines Everything now births a fresh memory Begging God for peace to let it be Slipped from earth you're finally free Still always you and me Life feels so crushingly cold.. It's stern Separated now by this blizzard's churn What's happened leaves a heart's yearn Inside.. where frozen embers still burn *Yesterday my sweet sister passed into eternity. This poem is from her husband's perspective as he's shared stories. (We drove 13 hours yesterday so please forgive unanswered soup mail) Contest: Gail's "Where Frozen Embers Still Burn" Date: 8-24-14
Copyright © 2012 12/17/2012 (A Purpose So Clear) Like children we fear In secret a somber tear Like learning to walk Babies listen to talk And reach for a hand To help them stand This too, we all must do By HIS Hand made anew by: LP
Perhaps you feel like your life is "spiraling down" It's as if everything's come "crashing to the ground" Is your lie filled with A lot of apprehension? Just living day by bay with a lot of tension? Maybe you're at a "low point" and very "distraught." In life's circumstances… you feel trapped and caught. If you feel confused… Like you're in a "trance…" God's word says to TRUST HIM, in every circumstance! God's here to pick you up,\ when you stumble! He's always do it, And never grumble! If life's dealt you a bad hand, don't try name it! Jesus loves you so much! It's hard to explain it! All of heaven invites you to Invite Jesus as your lord! An eternal life with him, can be your great reward! By Jim Pemberton
Behind your beautiful eyes and gorgeous disguise, You've cried a thousand tears. Baby girl, it's to you I write these words; I hope somehow your clouds disappear. May God reach from the heavens, And protect your weary soul. I know during these life lessons, Things seem to spin out of control. ©2013 Honestly JT
The body is the portal to which Evil uses to enter the Universe, our World, and our Lives. Evil could not exist without these three portals: 1. Speech If all Man, Woman and Child said nothing harmful or misleading, conflict and war would not exist. There would still be differences but they would be resolved in favor for all Man, Woman and Child with words of wisdom and concern. (Our emotions and feelings at the time make up the words that come out of our mouth. Knowing this you should know that while speaking in a destructive mind state you are about to say something harmful and destructive, and it would be wise at this moment to hold your tongue (harsh and demeaning words you can't take back, should never be heard…be it directly to or spread by rumor). And no Man, Woman or Child should have the need to mislead or lie to another. To end lying we must look at what we lie for, into what we try to accomplish by lying? We lie to make ourselves look honest, we lie to make ourselves look responsible, we lie to gain acceptance, we lie to make ourselves look faithful, we lie to make ourselves look trust worthy, dependable, concerned and kind, we lie to eat well, we lie to live comfortable. We must acknowledge then teach our children and show our families and friends that people who live truly Godly don't lie to have or be these things; they just do and are.) 2. Body Action If a hand is not raised, a person is not struck. If a sword is not waved, a person is not cut. If a trigger is not pulled, a bullet can't fly. If a fire is not set, a home is not burned. If a button is not pushed, a missile is not launched. (Our emotions and feelings at the time; sometimes trigger body reflexes that harms another person be it intent or involuntary, it is uncalled for, unacceptable and avoidable. No one is struck for no reason and out of nowhere; there is always either a difference of emotions, a difference of understanding, a difference in belief, a difference in culture, be it whatever the difference; lack of Love, Concern, Respect or Self-Control, there is no excuse to harm someone else. That is not the way of our Great Creator, God gave us this World to Love one another, to Create and Sing for one another, to Entertain and Invent for one another and to Share Joy with one another. We are here to live for one another, but we live for self. We want to control everything, but we can......... message continued in (These Are The Portals Of Evil -- Part 2 of 2)
There's a family I know, that may seem old fashioned. But they serve others from a heart of compassion! They don't have much in the scope of entertainment. But they have each other, and much contentment. They have a love for God that comes from within! And are thankful to the Lord for being their friend! They don't get too involved with that the world brings. They have each others love. They have everything! This family has been an inspiration to others too! By their giving hearts, in much of what they do! This family has a commitment to serve God above. And have asked Jesus to fill them with his love! This may seem old fashioned, not to have a lot of things… But they know their Lord and the love that he brings! I'm thankful to know them and their Godly inspiration… I extend to them a heart of thanks and appreciation! Please dear Lord, bless and keep them in your arms! Be with them Jesus, and protect them from harm! May the blessings of God keep flowing through them! And may the peace and joy of God continue to be with them! By Jim Pemberton 05/29/13
I pray to God, Here and now, That will be the final addiction I repeat. Jesus, Here and now, Save me now; You are all I need! Please Change me, Save me, Forgive me. Please.
Unwrapping both a blessing and a curse, extracts Love's essence painting souls and framing them abstracts. Too brazen into Jung's collective we were when, Our fists were punching holes up through the floors of Heaven. We knew the fools from those among the wise who cherish, But that denying harlot Fate, had to be selfish. Now under burden of this heavy and cruel loss, Pain's pressing pitch to blacken the abandoned cross. Among the broken pieces that will fall this way. The mausoleums that will be cap stoned today. In paper coffins lay the letters of their last, To reconcile this day, or others from the past. Possessions that become departing gifts to friends. A rotting, cold corpse they will be, when passed again. Those stalking zombies out of reach and courting hate Caressing defense of an unforgiving state. Must they forget the lover's pages bled in ink. Escape in substance high, and falling drunk in drink. As desperation quickly fills their beds with drones. The futile chains attempts, when weakness is alone. To look again to see the gift from ending's split. A testimony of a truth embracing it. For what this life has taken, in return, it gave. Event Horizons welcome us beyond the grave. Some morsels kept out of the ruins of our dreams. A loving Christ's hands will to heal and stitching seams. His wisdom and his patience walking me still slower. His ways are guiding me, in these, the years to over. ------------------------------------------------------------- Iambic Hexameter (Five ending iambs were substituted with amphibrachs) Contest: Structured forms - Iambic verse - Sketch a fictitious character II Sponsor: Giorgio A.

Where Will I Be Tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow? That's my question! I continue traveling on… Seeking my life's "mission." There are many roads, and journeys to go on. I'm trying to find out, where I really belong. There are many choices of what to do and see… There's both good and bad waiting for me! But, there is a God who called out my name. When I heard his voice... To him, I came! He gave me a promise! A 100% guarantee! He promised to forgive my sins, that I may be free! I will spend today and tomorrow with him! I'm going to take time, and get to know him! I'm here today! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I can trust Jesus! To take care of everything! Where will I go? I know where I will be! Spending time with my Lord! For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
There were millions of other people that could have been here on this Earth in your place, but it was you that made it. It was you against all odds; blind and in the dark, you chased Gods Love and won. We all love to be Winners and Champions. It breaks our heart to be called a Loser; that's why God made the beginning of our Existence a big race against millions, a race like you'll never be involved in again (millions entered, one (you) and only one (if your not a twin), Lived on, while the others perished. No one can or ever should call someone else a loser (we are a World of Champions)...because no race is more important than the race to Existence, and nothing won is more Valuable than the reward of God's Air, His Water, Grass, Mountains, our Universe, the Ability to and be Loved, but most of all and more importantly...God's Gift of Individuality and Choice. We all are Winners, Champions of a Great Race Forgotten. To call some one a loser is to call Our Great Creator and the manner in which we became to be, a lie. By Anthony BamBam!!

Everyone telling me where to go: Turn left, Turn right. I don't even know who to listen to anymore; I don't even know who I am anymore. God, please speak to me And tell me where to go And show me what to do Because Your voice is drowning out in the madness Or maybe I am just refusing to listen.
Run into my heart; Run right into my arms. I will never let you go; I am yours forever, please know. You make my soul beat; You bring me back to life. God, thank You for this love; God, thank You for this life.
Love Flies Fly away little bird. Winter winds are churning. Alas, the cold has been delivered Replacing summer's burning. Fly away my feathered friend The river bank's receding. My true love left me days ago And now my heart is bleeding. The warm days, the sunny rays Was the time of our love's season. You've turned your back and walked away Without a breath of heart-felt reason. If you ever find me waiting, On the shore at evenings nigh. Keep your path below your feet As I pray when you go by. Fly away, heart of mine Loves season passed the starry night. Winters spirit has cast a spell So spread your wings as you take flight. Carrie Emily Beck
Singing around in love; Smiles built from the ground. Holding hands in the dance; Laughing with brothers and sisters, All in His Glorious Name. Throughout His perfectly sculpted land: Look around because this is it; Look around because this is love; Look around and know, understand, comprehend, Rejoice because you are perfect; You are God's beautiful children!
My brother came to me, desperate for prayer! Filled with hopelessness and despair! I reached out to him to begin to pray… But I couldn't find any words to say! The Holy Spirit began tugging at my heart within… Convicting me of holding on to a "secret sin." THIS SIN, God told me I must first let go, For this was eating at my soul! My prayer life had been such a mess! I repented! And to God… I confessed! I called out to Jesus' precious name! Inviting him into my heart to reign! On bended knees before my Lord I began to bow, My prayer was going to be answered… Somehow! The prayer request for my brother Was going to be met! For God has never failed me YET! By Jim Pemberton
I cry myself awake In the middle of the day Because of a decision I made Not to spend time with you. And now everything I am Is falling apart into pieces; I feel like I am losing you Because I am losing myself.
It's like a weight lifted off of my heart; I am no longer torn apart. Thank God you are safe; Everything is okay.
I'm Not the Kind of Dad That I Need to Be! I remember reading the Bible to my son. But what a mess, my life has become! My children told me, they were proud of their dad! Now they say they're embarrassed and sad. I once lived a Godly life! I really did! Just look at me now! And how I live! Things in life I once called wrong and sin. Are now causing me to stumble again. God's word I had loved! Jesus was my treasure! I "traded my soul" for what gives me "pleasure." I'm not the kind of father that I need to be! What kind of example will my family find in me? Will I grow stubborn to God as I age? Replacing his peace, for anger and rage? I need Jesus to bring peace to my troubled soul! I ask YOU Lord to make me clean and whole. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. By your blood, make me a new creation. Words alone cannot truly express… This family God's given to me. I am so blessed! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Chose Me to Follow Him! Jesus chose me to follow him! And called me to be; "a fisher of men!" He's given me his Holy Spirit, for needed assistance. He wants me to reach the lost, with a Godly persistence! Others need to know of the forgiveness he brings! They need to know that he can do anything! They can be transformed, by his resurrection power! This can happen to anyone! This very hour! Please help me dear Lord, to do my very best! I want to do my part! And let you take care of the rest! It's only in YOU, Jesus, that one can find life everlasting! It's freely given! Just for the asking! Please dear Lord... Come and direct my path. I need your mercy! And spare me from your wrath! Please guide me, by your loving and gentle hand… Help me to obey, listen, and understand! Following and trusting Jesus is the best thing I can do! To surrender my life, and daily follow YOU! By Jim Pemberton
What is my hope in this life? Without You, under the skies, there's only hell. To You, O Lord, I beg and sigh! Rejections, taunts, helplessness, all kinds of strife, People, homes, values, all things in peril, What is my hope in this life? You expose my heart to tempests; I cry In deep anguish, I beseech and kneel - To You, O Lord, I beg and sigh! Stir my heart to seek You; let not my spirit dry, For with your absence in this tough duel - What is my hope in this life? My little mind cannot equal your wisdom so high, Amid confusion I am a wondering, wandering fool, To You, O Lord, I beg and sigh! Helping grace and love you will abundantly supply; Under the heavens - will be glory eternal. What is my hope in this life - To You, O Lord, I beg and sigh! 6/17/14 **Inspiration from Romans 8:35-39 "...Nothing can separate us from the Love of God..." This poem is offered to the people of Iraq ( the Yazidis and other minorities) going through persecution. Let us pray that they may have the strength to face all the adversities confronting them as God envelops them with His immense love and mercy.
There are proud people "coming out!" Yet, they have no idea what real life is about! Many brag about a lifestyle that's revealing. Yet have lost God's purpose and meaning! I'm coming out for Jesus! I've nothing to hide! I've asked him to take away my sin and pride! Of my own accomplishments... I've nothing to boast! But I'm proud of God the father, son and holy ghost! Whatever pride we have… We've all sinned! Jesus told us; "you must be born again!" Nothing that I've done is worth "bragging of." Rather, I've done things that I'm ashamed of! But God reached down to where I was standing! And filled my life with his peace and understanding! The more I have of Jesus, the less I need of me! His power alone is what can truly set me free! I'm coming out for Jesus! The redeemer of my soul! I'm going to shout it! So the whole world may know! I'm not ashamed of Jesus! I am NOT! By his mercy… My sins have been blood bought! For each step you take to God… He takes two! Won't you allow him to do his work through YOU? A life of righteousness and holiness is what God is asking! Come now! And receive HIS life! It's everlasting! By Jim Pemberton
The sweet Lamb of God was born to be the bridge spanning the gulf between destruction and peace; I can only cross safely because He paid the price, demanded by justice for my soul's release. Chorus: No mountain was ever higher than His cross of agony; no gulf was ever wider than the one crossed for me. His steps never faltered as Christ carried sin's load, all alone to atone up Calvary's road. His arms formed a bridge between heaven and hell, stretching so wide to bring deliverance by grace. His arms carry me surely across the deep divide; His blood paid the ransom my sin to erase. Chorus: No mountain was ever higher than His cross of agony; no gulf was ever wider than the one crossed for me. His steps never faltered as Christ carried sin's load, all alone to atone up Calvary's road. Bridge: Infinite bridge, Incarnate Lamb, Jesus Christ Savior, the eternal I AM. I can only cross safely because He paid the price, demanded by justice for my soul's release. October 8, 2014
I know I can't give up I simply cannot This uncertainty hurts But one day will be forever worth it In God we will eternally trust For the joy of life is love God bless Amen.
You're alive even in the darkest place; Even when we can't hear Your Name, Even when we can't see Your grace, You're alive! Even when we can't feel Your grace, You are alive!
Why am I so selfish? Why do I live for the wrong things? I am dying inside Because I refuse to see the light. I need to say yes, But I still haven't learned that yet. I am a fool, And I am hurting you. If I would let go of myself, I would hold on to you.

I can't wait for the day when I can finally be myself. Nothing to hide. Free. Brave. Fearless. As God created me to be.
I wanted to be adopted again, Guardianship wasn't enough, I wanted to bear your name with pride, Have love that was tough. I needed to be called "Daughter" again, For you to look at me with pride, I needed you to smile at me with love in your eyes, To call my name and say, "Stand by my side." But then I realized I was already taken, Not by you but by Someone up above, I realize I had been spoken for all along, Spoken for with love. "He destined us for adoption As His children through Jesus Christ", It says that in Ephesians 1:5, Adoption by God feels nice. He gives me all the love I want, The things that I need, He adopted us here on Earth, He planted a seed. I'm glad I was taken, Not by you but by God, For being spoken for all along, Spoken for with love.
A marriage is an old covered bridge two people embark on together taking shelter with promises of forever but darkness ensues and threatens their endeavor will creaky planks give way and collapse? in time the darkness will pass love can last.
I Have A Brother That Needs Prayer! I have a brother that really needs prayer! When it comes to God, he doesn't care! He's living a life by his own set of rules. And thinks Christians are a bunch of "fools." The only thing that seems important to him… Are the things in life that are close to him. Wandering down a path that he chooses… The one he's chosen… It's him that looses! Please, dear Jesus, keep him in your care! Wherever he goes… I know you are there! You are the one that my brother needs to come to! No matter the false "dreams" he may run into! Please dear Lord… Protect from all harm! May he seek the strength of your loving arms! May your voice beckon the master's call! He really does need YOU after all! By Jim Pemberton
I Was In A Place Where I Didn't Belong! I was in a place where I knew I didn't belong! God's spirit was there… But the flesh was strong! I felt alluring voices almost "overwhelm me." There were so many temptations that surrounded me! I could feel the pull! The tugging of my heart! I knew this was going to happen! From the start! As I began to feel many voices, pulling my spirit. I wanted to run, but could not seem to do it! In one moment of hopelessness, to Jesus I cried! I couldn't run from this! No matter how hard I tried! Just when I thought that there was not a way out! I remember what some of the Bible was about! I knew that if I cried to Jesus, he'd be there to help me! No matter the temptation! And how it tries to "trip" me! Before I was going to do something, I shouldn't do… I heard God's voice say; "My son, I'm here to help you!" I felt the hand of God, reach down and touch my soul! I knew that God was there, and it was time for me to go! I jumped up and out of there, as fast as I could run! Any "excitement" was gone. I was not having "fun!" Whatever temptation I gave up, was worth avoiding! A life with Jesus and family is what I'm enjoying! Thank you my Lord! For your patience and kindness! You've filled my life with your love and brightness!09/04/13
God is love and love is alive In the hearts of His Perfect Children Lost and downtrodden yet never forgotten In His Love abounding forever uniting!
We are the light We are the light of Christ We are the light of our generation We are the light of our time We are the light of love We are the light of life We are the light of God We are the light of the Spirit Holy We are the light of Christ We are the light Shine bright
Pure love God is all, and yet pure too, Much love for me and you. His son was a lamb, A sacrifice for love, Cus love comes, from only above . Love is pure, a decent thing, We know not of, such a pure thing. Is god love then . You may ask ? I'm sure i'm right in saying, God is all that! love and pure and lives above., So to end my verse for love, To name god in a word is love, To call him good is not enough, To call god great, only makes him a saint. So what do we do, to honour our lord? You can sing praises and worship galore.. You can tell all about what you have sung. Tell them that your lord as won. The only rule you have to follow, Is to love your god, for all with out sorrow. But for me at this moment in time. I write this verse, for my lord and all time.
Lord you came from heaven to save us from hell, Among us sinners you chose to dwell, To give us eternal life you gave your own, To glorify your father who's on his throne, You took the sin of the world upon your shoulder, Yet our burning desire for you grew colder, They spit on you, beat you and placed thorns upon your head, Yet you still loved us when you were dead, Your love is deeper than the ocean you yourself created, Love so true because you did exactly what you stated, Rose again on the third day with complete satisfactory, You gave us salvation completely for free. Just so you all know were living in the last days, So I say to you my friend that you should change your bad ways, When Jesus comes for the saints the wicked man stays, Stuck here on earth to suffer through earth's tribulation faze, God changes anyone murders, thieves and gays, If you want to get to heaven just do what the bible says!!! Being afraid to say I'm a Christian is a thing of the past, Because now I realize God's love for me forever lasts, Being a Christian doesn't make me shrink or less of a man, There for I don't care what you think because I'm a part of Gods plan. No I'm not perfect yes I do wrong but I know how to repent and keep my faith. And I ask that you do the same and repent before it's too late.
It's simple. We make it much more complicated than it is; Just live.
The blue waters, The green trees, The blue skies, The light breeze, The crisp air, The birds sing, The puffed clouds; The awakening.
I recite your name in the whispers of the wind for bonded to my heart are you until the end I lifted the chalice drank deeply of its wine I felt of its effects the fullness of divine Like the chords of piano and dulcimers delight your melodies do waft through every thought at night a master plays the chords a violin with strings plays my heart like a harp whose music on it rings Your fingers play me like the stroke of piano keys every touch I enjoy your heart it aims to please you are a symphony whose chords have touched my heart a birth cries transmission of transformation every part Songs like an aria may yet I learn to sing whose vocals resonate the inmost of my being You left no line untouched no strand is mine alone made sure you did I knew would make you me your own Somewhere I lost myself I gave it all to you things I don't understand reasons appear askew I inhale you my breathe to deepest parts within need you to embrace me as close as your own skin We retire together speak 'neath the baleful skies of every trial in life and those who live in lies greet me in the morning curl around me at night sing to me of love songs of futures very bright The wedding of my heart tears away my mind I want to forever hold you for all of time Are not your words a bath that removes the worlds dirt a balm of medicine to heal the deepest hurt Its surpassing sweetness a palate of good taste love so intoxicating no drop will go to waste the adversary's here and tramples the flowers but you oh my beloved too freely roam my hours My life is but a breath an instrument of song music tells the stories of lives and right and wrong The scent of yesterdays the pathways of the past forward now the future into the everlast Proverbs 16 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Am I Really Happy? With everything I've acquired and got... What kind of happiness has it brought? With everything I have or can name... Has it given me joy or brought me shame? With all that this world can give me… What kind of life "lies beneath me?" With all of my possessions and wealth… Do I have contentment and "true" wealth? I want it to be known and wish to express… I'm not so sure, I'm what you would call "blessed." There's something I know to be certain. Tomorrow could be life's "final curtain." There's something that's been on my mind. Have I given God just some of "my" time? There's one thing I'm going to do… And do it now! I'm going to come to the Lord and humbly bow. This is something I need to say and do... Give it all to God! And tell him; "I LOVE YOU!" Something that I should have done already... When Christ comes again… I want to be ready! God's joy and happiness is true and very real! The presence of God.., I can already feel! What God has given to me, no one can take away! For he comforts me and is with me every day! By Jim Pemberton
I might be a failure I might be a loser I might be lonely I might be depressed I might be sad I might be upset I might be lost I might be tempted But I am alive. Not just existing, I am alive. Living, Alive in Christ For He gives me life! Forgiven, Saved, Changed; I am alive, Living, Alive in Christ For He gives me life! I am alive, Living!
I'm a mess. I've ruined this body You've designed; I've ruined this heart You've shined; I've ruined this breath You've shared; I've ruined this life You've cared. I've demolished this freedom You've given, Yet You give it to me again. Time and time around I have failed You; Weak and falling trying to please You. Earning I cannot for this is a gift from You. Please forgive me; Please save me: You've picked me up and brushed me off; Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me. I have fallen once again. I'm a mess, But You forgive me. You save me Time and time around, Eternally, You brush me off and pick me up. Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me.
What If… Christmas Never Came??? What if Christmas never happened? What if Christmas never came? Things around here would be different! It wouldn't be the same! What if the baby Jesus was never born in a manger? Mankind would be in serious trouble. We'd all be in danger! If the baby Jesus wasn't born. There would be no nativity. We wouldn't be able to display this during our "festivity." It's almost like this now! It's an "ever increasing business." It seems like nearly everyone wants "Christ out of Christmas!" Why does it seem like Christmas is losing it's true meaning? The very words; "Merry Christmas," seem to be quickly disappearing! Many say; "Happy Holiday." They worry they may "offend." Having a "holiday" without Christ…. Once again! We need to put Jesus Christ back into our CHRISTmas season! He is what Christmas is about! HE is the very reason! May we all take some time to rejoice in our savior's birth. May there be shouts of JOY! From the corners of the earth! Let's not take Christ out of our joyous celebration! We need him so much right now! All over this great nation! May we bring to him a heart of love for everything he's done. As we bring honor to Christ. God's precious son! May we continually offer to him a heart filled with praise! Not only at Christmas time… But all of our days! By Jim Pemberton
Who can create this perfect land? Who can give us all we need? Who can save us from ourselves? Who is the basis of our time? Who is the author of all history? Who is the center behind our calendar? Who is our hope? Who is always true? Who leads us were we need to go? Who sustains our lives here on Earth? Who always answers our prayers? Who always answers our calls? Who creates this feeling in us we cannot describe? Who determines our morals? Who has a plan for us? Who sets our paths? Who guides us all of our days? Who is our faith? Who is our hope? Who is our love? Who is our truth? Who is our joy? Who is our trust? Who is our belief? Who is our Father? Who is our Son? Who is our Holy Spirit? Who is our Redeemer? Who is our Savior? Who is our Creator? Who is our lover? Who is our best friend? Who is our relationship? Who is the only One? Who is the only true One? Who is our only One? Only You!

Lord, I don't understand. Maybe I never did. The destination of the path seemed so grand, yet now it looks horrid! Why? The dragon You've placed, mine to fight still breathes fire and brimstone in my neck, but I'm armoured with incapability to smite and the cobblestones You paved lead to this wreck. Why? I dreamt of the moon, but couldn't reach the stars, so I drifted into the sun and soon I would be burnt with scars. Why shroud my mind with dreams of peace at daylight's bend, yet shred it with horrors at night? Why let me pursue a rainbow when there never was an end? The past is bathed in murky waters and clothed in miry clay. Now the future looks no better and mere words can't express what I wish to say. Lord, here I lay at Your mercy, angry and heartbroken. You don't make mistakes and You set free. Please, I beg be my beacon! Loose the shackles, break the chains that I may serve You again. Show me the true way You planned, for I have reached the end of this one.
I've heard of those who say they're "happy and gay." Where are those who proclaim; "Jesus is the only Way?" I've heard of many who discuss creation vs. evolution. Where are those who proclaim Jesus is the solution? I've heard of many who chose an "alternate lifestyle." Where are those...who for Jesus... will go "the extra mile?" There are those who say; "Jesus isn't real!" Where are those who'll confess HIM with a passion and a zeal? There's so many who sit in their church's pew. Where are those... Whom to Christ… Will say; 'I LOVE YOU!" There's too many who are on their way to hell. Where are those who truly love Jesus? Can you tell??? I know of a redeeming savior's mercy and grace. His love has been extended to the human race. Jesus speaks a loving call and merciful plea... He says; "take up your cross and follow me!" Jesus brings true gladness and overflowing joy! This is freely offered to every man, woman, girl and boy! NOW is the day of salvation & the accepted time! Christ can change us! And renew our mind! I know that very soon.. Jesus is coming again! Where are those who desire to be cleansed within? I know that an abundant life is what Jesus will freely give! Where one can find eternal life! And a true meaning to live! By Jim Pemberton
The God That I DO Believe In! There's a God that I really DO believe in! I knew this the moment I received him! This is the God whom I hold special and dear! He's always with me! Always near! He's the God of the glory of heaven above! He's also the God who's given us his love! He's the God who doesn't want anyone to go to hell! His son gave his life! So your soul can be well! I've given him my life with a renewed commitment! He's brought to me peace and a godly contentment! He's God! And can't be ruled by someone's theology! He can't be explained by science or biology! He's given us his word for a godly inspiration! Let's not twist it, into our own "interpretation!" He's alive and powerful! Let the whole earth proclaim! The majestic wonder and glory, there is in HIS name! Jesus is alive today! He reigns in resurrection power! You too can know him! And be changed this very hour! The God that I believe in, can be your God too! He's done his part! The rest is up to YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Paid The Sacrifice! Jesus sacrificed his life for you and me! So we can be with him for all eternity! His life for ours… a ransom was paid IN FULL, This is why I I love HIM so! Upon his head were placed the crown of thorns, Enduring so much shame and scorn. The blood from his body as it began to flow! The pain inside his body, Began to grow! The nails placed in his feet and hands, The pain he went through is hard to understand. His life for ours, is what he gave! His life for ours… Is what he did trade! By Jim Pemberton
My heart is filled; I've found everything I need. Here I stand, Finally off my knees. I found love in Him, And He found love in me.
I see your tears,and it breaks me apart~I wanna reach across the moon to get inside your heart I see the scar's he's left and it tears my soul up inside It makes me want to spew ice and throw fire Down for just him to enjoy in his own forever never~ending~torturing Abyss! It's all fun & games to him were all his little toys, God reaches one of us there's a million more for him to torture~Torment and infest. We never learn our lesson's just keep doing each other harm~ Have you ever heard the term were you raised in a Barn? Close the Door, wer'e such silly kid's everyone of us~We get hurt keep it in then move on~ push communication plum to the side.It's like a soda that's been shaken once the lid's off it explodes. If we don't deal with our feelings, Where the Heck do you think they go?? A gentle hand is what our God really want's us to extend Don't Let the Devil invade your Soul till you have nowhere else to go. We wonder why our children show up in school toting guns It's because they're afraid~They are scared Theyre ALONE! I'm looking into you and I see myself so deep within~Your a Beautiful~Shining~Spirit~Don't let the Devil get his Muse. He's see's the flicker of a shine and it makes his heart quake and shiver deep inside. He know's his Doom and his Throne is only in place for a short time He want's to taste Now the Best & finest of the Wines. Don't worry sweet child Our God's promises will eventually come true. We just have to guide, Love ,Teach,Retrain what it means to Truly be Kind. Love each other Look beyond just.Me~Me~Me! We get so caught up in this world sometimes we just don't know what to Do! Love~Love~Love~ That's the Motto I Like to Live by. There for a time I got so lost and confused Then My wonderful god Gently~Reached out and touched my hand~Said child You've known there's alway's been I that would understand. Now Let me Show you True Love and Let me Gently guide,softly~yet~firmly,reteach,and show you your misguided ways if you'd open your eyes you'd really see there's so much work you could do. Stop rotting your Brain and coming up with all this Bad~Self tallk and more suffered abuse. Open your eyes Be Authintic~Be Real~Don't be a Pushover~ Remove The bitterness and anger inside your Soul its not yours to keep child I told you to let that GO! But forgive and Know how to Love VERY Well. Walk in the ways you think Jesus would do~Remember all the Torture~ The pain~ Mistrust~and abuse he went through for You. God has given us Life so Precious and Rare, So many Beautiful things that we just can't explain~Its time that we open up and try and save this world~That's now my mission in life~I won't stop till I reach my Goal I will be part of God's Soldiers I have nothing to hide I'm all about Truth So Devil Let's lay it on the line.This girl will be Turning your wines into Fire~The ones that I reach you'll no longer Drink from. So if you see me you better turn the corner & Run! It's Red against Red Let's Fight~Fire with Fire~ God's got many soldiers who'll stand right along beside me if I need them to!With my God no longer am I afraid of YOU! BY:Christina McCullouch

Life without you Has no dreams to come true Without you, Life carries no tune Without you, I'm cold and roaming alone Without you, I've no place that's a home But when you walk in the room and you whisper my name My dreams come to life And the song plays again I can live . . . I can live . . . I'm alive . . . Without you, There's no gleam in my eye Without you, I have no reason why Without you, I am nothing at all and I can't even crawl Without you, I haven't a heart beat at all Without you, I am simply slowly dying There's not a melody there's not a rhyme, But when you walk in the room and you whisper my name My dreams come to life And the song plays again I can live . . . I can live . . . I can see . . . Your love gives meaning to me I can breathe . . . I can breathe . . . There's no mystery hidden from me, I can touch I can feel With you there's no place in my heart that's not healed When you whisper my name My dreams come to life And the song plays again I can live . . . I can live . . . Yet you ask nothing from me With one look from your eye I can breathe . . . I can breathe With you I am finally free I can live . . . I can live . . . I can breathe With you I can clearly see Everything I'm meant to be And with you that's good enough . . . For me
We Have A Sin Condition! We have more technology, but we have a problem! We have many "issues." And don't know how to solve them! Governments answer seems to be "spend, spend, spend." But we have this condition, that God calls; SIN! Just look at the problems that are all around you! It's amazing that they don't "overwhelm you!" There's all sorts of evil all cross our land! But there's something very few understand! We've sent men to the moon and outer space! Yet very few reach out and receive God's grace! The Bible says, "the heart of the man is sinful." Without God, man's heart is never "peaceful!" Jesus love provides for the world that fails us! He offers his love! Simply because he loves us! There's no "condition." His love is freely given! Won't you accept him? And be totally forgiven? Where there's sin. God's grace does much more abound! There's a new life for you! Just waiting to be found! Our sins for his love! What more could one ask? And enjoy a love and peace that will ALWAYS LAST! By Jim Pemberton
God Told Me That I Need Effective Prayer! God told me, in order for my prayer to be effective. That I should not choose to be so "selective." I asked him: "what do you mean by this question?" I wasn't quite prepared for the reception! God said; "You've chosen to be selective in how you live." "There's only so much, to me, that you want to give!" "You said that I'm your Lord, by your way of living." "But a life of holiness, is what you're not giving." "You want the prayer answered, but have nothing to show for it." "You claim to accept my grace, but aren't willing to share it." "How can I answer your prayer, when it's only convenient?" "Haven't I been patient with you?" "And most lenient?" "Give up all that you have, and give it to the poor!" "Then you'll know what prayer life is really meant for!" "Give me your heart!" "And take time to really listen!" "There's so much more of me, that you've been missin'!" "Obey my words and experience the life I have given!" "Know what it means to be cleansed and forgiven!" "Than your life will change, and your prayer time too!" "I will give you the strength to make it through!" "You will know what it means to spend time with me!" "And your prayers will impact you for eternity!" By Jim Pemberton 10/21/13

I am a hypocrite and look what I just did: I fell into my darkest pit; now, again, and again. I thought that I was strong enough to live the truths I said; Now I realized I'm much too weak; a fool too ashamed to raise his head. God, please save me, please forgive me, and please give me strength. I love You. I thank You. I am forever changed.
Have you thought about what friendship is? Is it someone who loves and forgives? I'm sure many people have a different meaning! There's many directions to be leaning. Friendship comes in different forms and kinds. It develops a kinship among hearts and minds! I'm sure that many want to be a friend to another. But there is one, who sticks closer than a brother! This one is the very best friend, that I can speak of! He brings the best friendship, that I can think of! He brings to friendship a new purpose and desire… To bring eternal love! And lift you up higher! He is the very definition of what a friend should be! He'll be your best friend now! And for eternity! His name is Jesus! I encourage you to invite him in! Won't you allow him to be your savior and friend? His faithfulness and commitment are 100% true! He'll always be there for me, and for YOU! Friendship with Jesus, is fellowship divine! He'll never let you down! Not a single time! Friendship with Jesus… Without a doubt! He is what being a true friend is all about! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus loves me, I know it's true, He gave His life for me and you. On Calvary's hill He bled and died, Paving a way to Heaven's side. Jesus loves me, amazing thought, His precious blood my pardon bought. My sins have since all been erased, And I've been saved by God's great grace. Jesus loves me, He loves you too. I have no doubt His word is true. He said if we would just believe, Into His kingdom we'd be received. Thank You, Jesus, for loving me, Enough to die upon that tree, Trading your righteousness for my sin, And sending Your Spirit to dwell within.
I can think of a time, when I was young. I was growing up and having fun! I remember how excited I was to have a t.v. There were my brothers, my parents and me! I remember at about the age of ten. My dad thought going to the theater was a "sin." There were many things that as young man… I later began to see, and understand! My parents shared God's love the best they could! And I read the Bible and was trying to be "good." I had my troubles… And problems bear... But I had a family, and much prayer! The truth of God's word helped sustain me! I knew how much he really loved me! My parents, may seem like they were "old fashioned." They loved their kids! With a Godly compassion! I'm thankful to be blessed with a Godly love! My family was a treasure from heaven above! I think about today, and how things go wrong. Many families don't seem to "get along!" I pray for the blessing of God, to bind them together! May we all serve him! Today, and forever! His love must be the cord that binds! His will must be the focus of our minds! May the presence of God bind us as one! Every mother, father, daughter and son! By Jim Pemberton
A mother's heart A mother's heart is uniquely made by God's loving hands. Enable to endure heartache and love indescribably grand. He gave her a heart with ability to bond in an instant With everlasting love started when you were an infant. God knew he had to make her heart strong but tender Heart break will surely come but she will not surrender Children will test the limits of her patience and temperament With making poor choices and teenaged self-righteous arrogance. Standing firm and not willing to budge from your fits of anger Trying to understand who replaced her child with this stranger. A mother's heart is unchanging as the years soon past by She loves you now as much as when she heard your first cry When God created the mother's heart he had an ultimate purpose For a mother's love is freely given and cannot be bought or purchased A mother's love will last till the day God takes her to heavenly places She holds on to fond memories and her children's precious faces. Because God knows a mother's heart can't be without love to share He blessed her with many grandchildren an answer to her prayer. Now she looks forward to her visits from her family she dearly loves And thanks the Lord for her many blessing each and every one.
I know of a son who turned his back on the God he once knew! Praying for him, was all that his family could hope to do! The truths taught to him as a child, he now began to reject! Spending an eternity without God… He refused to accept! He told his friends, about his "newfound theology." It sounded like he found some new kind of psychology. Rather than accept the truth of God's word, as he would find. He would twist scripture to fit his own state of mind! He would say; "the God of heaven and hell doesn't exist." "It doesn't matter how you live!" Is what he'd insist! He rejected God's gift and wonderful plan of salvation… And chose to believe "whatever fit his own situation." I began to see his life sputter from a hurtful heart. It just seemed like everything around him "fell apart." God wanted to help, but he didn't believe he needed him! God was there! But he made it clear that he didn't believe him! Many years went by, and this son started growing old. He became a bitter and broken person, I've been told! He did his best to remove God from his family and home. Now, it was just him! And he was all alone! Then one night, he cried out and called on Jesus' name! And confessed of all of his sin, guilt and shame! This son, who had drifted from God for so many years… Was filled with a true love, and a joy that brought tears! He had returned to God! And God changed him! God will always be faithful! And will never leave him! Won't you too, accept the life that God wants to give you? He can change your life! Just because he LOVES YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Please never ever tell, you love me When it's all but your words Better I do not hear nor ever read For words are useless They are all meaningless When no actions are made No actions to back up your words Do you just tell those words Because of how you see in my face Or because you want something from me Or because you just like how I talk Or because you like my body shape Or because you like how I dress If these the only reasons you are near me Or you ever want to be near me I am asking you to please Please do just stay away Do just stay, stay so far away I am tired of guys just playing around Tired of guys who are only "MAN OF WORDS" Tired of guys who are only "MAN OF EROS OR DESIRE" Tired of guys who are only "MAN OF THERE MONEY" Mind you, I do not need all those sweet words When these words are just use to fool.. To hypocrite.. To play.. Or to mock... I am so sorry for your heart... I am so sorry for whoever girl you used.. And I know God doesn't sleep.. He never sleeps.... By: olive_eloi 9:06 pm 02/14/2014
It's the third verse, I got the urge to purge All the curt words I've splurged, I've submerged in sin, I'll go to church repent, Then go curse again, Lets reverse this trend We nurse tolerance, When it might offend, If I white wash my fence, So try to not get tense, When I do not defend, Those who chose to be dense And not use their two cents, To show kids the reverence, For the pledge of allegiance.
Sleepy eyes say goodnight You can hear the prayers tonight Smile happy, turn off the light Only momentarily until the sun shines bright!
Tiny bits of beauty I seem to florish Showered acts of piety I am mold and polished Experience I have enough Gosh! How it teach me allot Even life is that so tough Still it didn't stop me to laugh Here in this arid land I learned things beyond Things I was once never do Here to keep up, I need too Indeed it's been a great journey.. There are so many worries So much so are the stories Then again it is a part of my life history I'm looking forward Determined always to move onward With one foot step affront I am more prepared for a staunt..

You close your eyes at night Trying to escape this never ending fight You chase your dreams Wishing everything wasn't what it seems But you can't escape This hopeless fate I may not know who you are or where you've been But I know I'm among the worst of them You say there's no one that can change you now But I know I'm among the worst of them Those voices inside Oh how they lie But with every whisper Oh how you wanna die This addiction is always getting you Inside there's nothing you can do I may not know who you are or where you've been But I know I'm among the worst of them You say there's no one that can change you now But I know I'm among the worst of them No matter how much you scream You're never waking from this evil dream You do everything you can to escape Before salvation is too late The world's judgments Are so much more than permanent You seek for any kind of help But they'll never understand what you've felt Is there anyone out there for you Or is love too good to be true I may not know who you are or where you've been But I know I'm among the worst of them You say there's no one that can change you now But I know I'm among the worst of them I was a sinner destined for hell Never knowing how far I fell But then I was saved by God above And I want to show you heaven's love No matter how long it takes Through all your mistakes I want to show you it's never too late I may not know who you are or where you've been But I know I'm among the worst of them You say there's no one that can change you now But I know I'm among the worst of them
my love... my love blossoms amidst the thunder across the oceans and the beyond the seas my love reaches out and touches the moments of bliss as the loneliness flees my love is simple with profound feelings of yearning desire my love rages within the furnace of this aching heart's unquenchable fire my love basks in the warmth of the knowledge that in the spring it takes root and it will flower my love breathes in the light fragrance of her hair after her warm and delicate shower my love remembers drowning in her eyes of those ethereal moments frozen forever more my love recalls the fleeting ticking of the clock each minute apart stabbing at my very core my love she knows I need her so for she needs me just as much my love she sprinkles light flourishes of her sensual touch as my love for her continues to ceaselessly grow my love reaches down into the crevasses of my of being my love for her is held onto deep inside for in the coming of the cold ache of seperation my love settles between the folds of her heart, for 'tis there that my love for will reside my love like an eternal dream caresses me in wakefulness and in sleep and that is the feeling that I shall cherish a feeling of love that has settled in me a feeling so pure and a feeling so very deep...
How fatal when we let fear win We destroy what we could have been God's plan no more for we're in sin But Jesus is here and Love's gonna win!

There's many choices to make. I'm fooling you not! But there's a godly principle that must be taught! The void we have. Only the presence of God can fulfill!

Come through the valley Up to the mountain top Come through the valley Don't give up. Please don't stop! Pray to God. He'll see you through His love and mercy never fails Lean on Him And He will bring you through the valley When life seems so hopeless And you feel that no one cares When all your faith is crumbling down And you fall down on your knees Remember, God is waiting To hear a word from you And say, 'Oh God, I need you I know you'll see me through' Come through the valley Up to the mountain top Come through the valley Don't give up. Please don't stop! Pray to God. He'll see you through His love and mercy never fails Lean on Him And He will bring you through the valley Pray to God. He'll see you through His love and mercy never fails Lean on Him And He will bring you through the valley
Feel the peace again Inside your beautiful soul. Trust in the Lord all your heart; With Him, He makes you whole!
What Do We Expect, As We Seek to Remove God? As so many people are seeking God's removal… It's like anything from him, we've given a refusal! Many have tried to ban just the reading of his word! There's so much truth, just waiting to be heard! Many anti-God societies have quickly formed! Even the ten commandments, are often scorned! We've built large cities, many schools, and homes! But when it comes to God, we've often left him alone! One can try their best to push God back in the corner! But if you do, things in your life will get "warmer!" The pleasures and truth you seek, will come to an end! And then eternity without God, will just begin! You'll wish you chose to live for God, that eventful day! You'll wish that you took the time to study and pray! It's the word of God that you need to study and read! God knows all about you! And knows your needs! He deserves all of your praise and full attention! We need to seek him, for much needed direction! Please come dear Lord, and cleanse us within! May we humbly confess our faults and sins! We need YOU much more, than words can say! Please be the God we serve! May we start TODAY! By Jim Pemberton
It is time to love others do you see No matter the place or the country We are all human beings we all feel That we pick and choose is so unreal Show people love no matter what race See the smile upon their face Compassion and humility must be seen Much more love than has ever been So much love it brings tears to eyes So much love it makes people sigh Much more love than ever before No more fighting no more wars No more wanting to take control Replace hate with love and the world becomes whole There are no borders that love cannot cross Show love to those who are hurting and lost What does it cost to show people you care What does it cost to love and to share It's time to love others do you see No matter the place or the country

I know I should be happy; There is joy in the Lord. Yes, absolutely, there is! In all moments, In all times, There is joy in the Lord! Even in this moment, There is joy underneath The outside cover of depression and sadness. That's what it may look, That's what it may appear, That's what it might feel, But that's just me being real; Opening up, Taking off this cover That I've been covering up with for too long. This is me being real And that's a part if joy; The joy of being real, The joy that is Jesus Christ! May God bless you always! Amen.
I Noticed; "Jesus Loves You," Above Your Door! I noticed a sign, "Jesus Loves You," above your front door. I want to know about him! I want to know more! Could you tell me without any hesitation... About Jesus and his plan of salvation? Could you tell me about being born again? And share with me how much you love him? What is it like to become a Christian? And to serve Christ, As a daily mission? I want to know how God has changed you! I don't really know whom else to turn to. Are you one that I can really depend? I assume that Jesus is your best friend? Please listen to what I have to say... And spend some of your time with me today!. By Jim Pemberton
I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!" I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it." Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it." It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation. He said what he wanted to, with no explanation! I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes! What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise. He turned to drugs and encountered addictions. With this brought much disease and afflictions! He gave up on the wonderful family that was given. And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'! I told him about a God who loves him very deeply. As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary. I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power! It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour! The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body! He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody! The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away! For the son of the living God, changed him this day! The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection… Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction! He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement! And is a different person now, because of that moment! This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU! Through the problems of life… He will see you through! By Jim Pemberton
Sometimes, I wish I am a man For if I want to win a heart I will do everything I can To be with the person, I love I will talk to her about anything and everything under the sun I will show her my day to day growing interest I will show this every now and then So long as her peace, I will not disturb If she does not reply, I will leave a message I will call her for sometime: a minute or two I will show her I am concerned I will let her see I care I will try to befriend her Know openly her goals and dreams I will let her feel that with those she said I am willing to be a part of it No rules or custom shall stop me to show If she rich, I must strive hard than before I must let her know, I am someone dependable I am someone diligent and truly responsible I will let her be my one and only That, I am someone who is faithful Even if she has a lot of suitors I will not compete with anyone but myself I must let her see I am all that she's looking for I will be determined and will pursue her Give her flowers if I can; Give her any gift if I can But with each gift, I'll touch it with some personal me To make her remember me, That even though I bought It is specially for her, a part of me is included in it I will let her see my persistence and sincerity If she is too hard still,I will try to get closer with persons close to her To her family, her friends and even colleagues at work If they will see me good to her, I hope they will be my bridge to her I hope they will all the more make me shine to her I hope if ever I win them, so her heart and yes I will win If she has been hurt before,I will let her see am not there to hurt more Instead, I am there to help, to restore and to heal any hurts If in any event it was inevitable that I hurt her, I will again win her back For I do not want to lose her, I would rather be the one hurting than her I will focus on the day I met her, for I want to be her present and future Whatever was her in the past, I will lay it rest and be gone history That even if past the years, age touch us physically and emotionally I will stand steadfastly on her side for as long as God will permit I will ask fervently for God's blessing and grace Sensitive enough and with her happiness as my priority With all these, I believe no heart is so hard and cold That it can not be moved, That it can never even feel Lastly, I will not make any promises Just I will do, I will do by: olive_eloi 11:56 am 02/16/2014 ---------------------------
I felt worn out... discouraged and defeated. Nothing in my life right seemed to be completed. I felt alone, knocked down and betrayed! I never thought I'd feel this scared and afraid. In this very dark time, where would I run? Where would any help actually come from? I felt utterly worthless and quite alone... With each passing day, in this place I called "home." As I got up, each morning and opened the bedroom door. And wondered if anyone cared about me anymore? I felt a "tug" on my shoulder and looked around. And noticed a bright light, shining toward the ground. "I love you my son." Where the words I heard. Excitement and hope within my heart was stirred. I looked up and couldn't began to explain. The love I felt when I called on Jesus' name! From my ceiling, I saw what looked like an angelic being. He said, "I am God! " I can do anything!" He reached down and gently picked me up out of bed. Words of mercy and hope where what he had said. "I am here so that you may rise up and live." "All of your failures and sins I will forgive." Everything inside of me... God did understand! With him here... I knew victory was at hand! This particular day, this was certain. He took away my sins and heavy burdens! Look at me now and it's so plain to see! He can do for YOU, what he's done for ME! By Jim Pemberton
I was once kissed by the sun Caressed in oils my breasts bathed free like growth in my womb kissing the moon Capturing my true essence unmasked, plain, pure Naked in love my insecurities gave birth to my esteem But then I became free from the taunting and ridicule of socieity's template of me by adopting a new personality One that reflects the real me I like poetry I like to sing I understand my spiritual need I like love I like the breeze I like rhythm and passion and long lasting nights of random acts of sensual moments that awaken parts of me previously repressed The love I feel is so unrest I was once kissed by the sun It's power gave me light and enabled my writing to become spoken words leaving footprints on the ink in my pen Some of thoughts escaped through actions of sin Unspoken words just thrown away Never spoken, or written again Awakened by the sun all drenched in it's heat Praising it's soure of power and embracing humility Giving what I have to give Learned to let go it's easier to forgive We strive for riches but lest we forget the richness of the sun Each day be thankful for his son
Two nights before heart's day Again, will I be just on sidebay How I wish I have a love today My heart, time and effort I'll lay Cupid's arrow, aim at my heart Keep it open wide and apart Precautions on red alert guard Senses heightened twice on dart On "likes", do not sink and submerge Like the Titanic banged an iceberg Use the heart to feel and feel Yet, bring the mind to think and fill Feelings really overpower Yet, stop! Stop! Stop! Exercise the mind's power Weigh things up, think it over By: olive_eloi 10:12 am 02/12/2014 ----------------»»»
I remember the first time I and my wife first met. The beauty in her... I'll never forget! I won't forget the day and the place. I'll never forget the look on her face. The feeling I had was hard to describe. I knew she was going to be my bride! I'm thankful to Jesus for bringing us together. Binding us as one... Both now and forever! Twenty years have passed... since our wedding day. She's still my beautiful wife! I'm proud to say! Thanks be to God, for making us one. I pray for his blessings upon our daughters and sons. May God be the unifying love in all that we do. May we never forget the meaning of... "I love YOU!" Each day I look at her... what do I see? This wonderful wife God has brought to me! I'm thankful and honored to have her as my wife. She's been such a blessing... A great part of my life! By Jim Pemberton
I May Change, But Jesus Remains the Same! Jesus remains the same! Even when I'm burdened! He loves you and me! This is most certain! He's the same yesterday, today and the future! Because of him, my life is a "bright picture!" He's committed to do what he's promised to do! It was he, that bled and died, for me and YOU! He remains the same! No matter how many fail me! How many have let you down? Can you tell me? I'm so thankful for his blessings that come my way! Words of encourage and hope, are what he has to say! He's the lover and redeemer, of my weary soul! He cleansed my sins! And made me whole! I'm so thankful for him! And all that he does! He reigns with God the father, in heaven above! Glory to Jesus in the highest! Peace toward all men! He will always be the same! Hallelujah and AMEN! By Jim Pemberton
I Remember When I Took Time to Pray! Our family would gather for dinner each day. Our dad would first take the time to pray! As kids, we thought it was important to do! I remember praying over my food in school! I was taught that we should give God thanksgiving! And be grateful for how he blessed our way of living! I remembered praying in the restaurants for the food. We wanted to honor God! And not be rude! But as the many years have come and went… I think about where my time is now spent. Prayer doesn't seem like it used to be! I often try not to let this really bother me! But as I get older, and think about the past… Father time has a way of creeping up fast! This God I once took the time to speak to. Is the one that I seldom take time to pray to! I need his help right now! More than ever! I'm not going to be on this earth forever! I'm going to focus on Jesus in a new direction! And give to him, my desires and ambitions! Talking with Jesus is the best thing I can do! Prayer can change my life! And be renewed! Won't you take the time to talk to God in prayer? He's waiting for you! And really cares! By Jim Pemberton
PURE LOVE Pure love, Whoever your crown wears In his heart, Immortal becomes, No matter: His age His statue His beauty For Elevated is he, at once, Onto The sphere of the DIVINE! ©Demetrios Trifiatis 01 March 2013
The sunshine is shining outside And I'm stuck inside I don't have any feelings anymore Yet everything I am trying to hide Pain comes in different forms This type of me hurts the worst I break when my depression runs high That's when I'm cursed. God, please help me.
Jesus Called Me to Follow HIM! "Come follow me" was the voice I heard. As I began to hear Christ' words! I was humbled to receive a heavenly invitation. I accepted Gods wondrous gift of salvation! "Why me?" was the question I pondered. For so many years… I had wandered. I knelt down and invited Jesus to come in, He took away my guilt and my darkest sin! He's brought a new life! And a love worth finding! His joy in my heart is HIS perfect timing! I cry tears of joy I once never had… I now have peace inside! I'm so glad! Why not invite him in to your life as well? He loves you much more than words can tell! "Come follow me!" Is the master's call! Eternal life is freely offered to all! Jesus waits for you, each day and night! He'll bring to your heart true delight! You'll find a true love you can only obtain… By inviting him in! Just call on his name! By Jim Pemberton
Living A Life That's Pleasing to God! We must live in a way that's pleasing to the Lord Neglecting his word... we can't afford! It's HIS will to be sanctified and avoid immorality. If we don't… It'll lead to a spiritual fatality! With God's help... Our body... We must control! God's instructions for holiness, we ought to know. The sins against the body will not go unpunished! Our spiritual life needs to be daily replenished! God has called us to be holy, and not impure. His word in our life, we must daily secure! Whoever rejects his instruction ... also rejects HIM. And will lose out on what it means to be free from sin! Let's seek a Godly life! As our goal and ambition! Having Jesus in us is a great addition! Living a pure life is what we must do. He has the power to give victory to ME and YOU! By Jim Pemberton Read 1 Thess. 4:5-11
Explosions in the sky a fire in my mind starting out a broken spirit until returned, my wings, I fly and I find that I have no place to go when the desire has came and went and there is no secrets left to know I shall be the greatest teacher exponentially now I grow who wants to be my friend? I only accept good people for I have spent too much time observing dark and evil now I seek the light as I remember how to fly off I'll go to see the world with my soul mate, her and I I have not met her yet but I will know her when I see her by the feeling and the healing as if she could be the teacher and my heart is pounding celebrating life until I die when my friend, this world may end by explosions in the sky. -For Sandra
The Joy That God Brings to Me… God gives me strength and everlasting joy. His words in my life, I need to employ. His joy brings strength to my very soul, giving comfort no matter where I may go. His joy gives a security, this world can't give! It is with me, every day I live. In my God, I will take delight! For he is with me every day and night! From the appearance of evil, may I abstain! And live in the joy of Jesus' precious name! In Jesus, my life is complete! As I lay my burdens at his feet! Over life's adversities, I'll rise above! And rest in the joy Of God's abiding love! By Jim Pemberton
There's something special about Sundays A lovely joy that's hard to describe The perfection of this beautiful life There's a peace on Sunday unlike the days of others Where calm reaches the wind and hope uncovers Mountains of grace in simple, true beauty The love of the Father in a heart ever-warming On this day all our problems seem to flutter away And even if for a moment, everything is okay Nothing to worry and no one to fear For our Comfort has risen and He is here There's something about Sundays that brings the soul to life A Heavenly connection no opposition can divide The strength of unity is a bond unbreakable All our sins shaken, only love unshakable The sun even shines if there happens to be darkness Fireplaces warm even in cold, dark trenches Heartache won't break us for He alone saves us His love conquers all, igniting love in us As we say another prayer over a beautiful Bible verse Attend another church service Serve another meal Read another book to children Fight another fire Heal another patient Write another assignment We know God is with us Everyday and evermore Look up to Heaven and thank Him again For a beautiful day and fall into bed Lay on the pillow and rest sweet head Praying above it would only be Sunday again.
Mortar binds cobblestones under our feet; The scent of oversized orchids fill the air; See my golden strands braided back; His strong hands join mine in perfect precision; We glide effortlessly in a Scandinavian waltz; Suns and moons set yet we never take notice.
The struggle kills when depression wins I might as well give all up again I know God is stronger but I can't see the end This hurts and stings but we will trust Him again It will all be okay May God bless you always!

The Lord is my light and salvation. Whom shall I fear? He is my protector and friend. And is always near! He's the stronghold of my life... Whom shall I be afraid! He is clothed with righteousness. His majesty is displayed! Though evil men advance, and my enemies attack me… They will stumble and fall! For the Lord is with me! Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear! The Lord will fight for me, and they shall disappear! In the day of trouble, the Lord will keep me safe! He will hide and put me on a solid resting place! At his tabernacle, will I sacrifice shouts of joy! Singing and making music to the Lord, I shall enjoy! I am confident in the Lord's goodness, in the land of the living! I will enter his gates with praise and a heart of thanksgiving! I shall wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart! Being in his presence, is a good place to start!

I don't need any money, I don't need fancy shoes. I don't need to buy happiness, 'Cause all I need is You. I don't need expensive clothes, I don't need things to choose.

Are you even out there Or is this another religious term Cause how am I suppose to knowingly wait If your not even confirmed The perfect man, like a treasure concealed But can't your hurry already and be revealed It's hard when God made every male with so much appeal It really is Gods fault He made me a woman Making me wait for my own song of Solomon But now I'm solemn, and This waiting takes too long Searching for Mr. right In a world of Mr. wrongs What will it hurt if I give myself away Nothing physical of course, just flirtatious play Hormonal needs that I must attend to But don't worry my love I'm still waiting for you I hear scripture say Do not awake love before its time Ha, Solomen get with the times In this world I must work to get was is rightfully mine So if I want love, it'll be my job to find it. But don't worry future husband I'm to smart to settle Even If I pass around my blossomed heart, you'll still have one petal. Of course it might be crumbled from the last chosen vessel. But Gods is a god of renewel and reassemble So its all good I know its not the destiny I need to choose But its hard hanging around friends who do nothing but pursue Relationship flings that they fling themselves to Yet still have a happily ever after come true While I sit around waiting like a lose-r Trust me okay, I understand the stake But if I give my heart to God who knows how long it'll take It's not a reluctant, eye rolling choice to make But one of determination I must partake So I'll wait, for your sake Your worth the wait, I tell myself Until the time is right, I'll be readying myself. Spending time with the One who knows me better them myself. Only then will He bring someone I can love as myself And like my Savior I know you'll be Confirmed by my heart with every prophecy So that when I see The mirrored reflection of your life It'll remind me of the passion that I Have for my Christ Give me patience oh God For I'm still learning Though my flesh rebels I'm still yearning Don't give up on me my prince Though emotions are burning Waiting i'll be for the only one who is worthy
Come, all of you who are thirsty! Whose life has run dry! Come to God's living waters. Your needs, he shall supply! Come, those without money! Come, buy and eat! Buy wine and milk without money! That you may be complete! Why spend money on what isn't bread? And labor with no satisfaction? Behold the glory of the Lord! He offers his wonderful salvation! Listen to God! And eat that which taste so sweet! God brings everything to the table, so that you may be complete! Allow your soul to delight, in the riches of God, most fare! Allow his goodness and mercy to keep you in his care! Listen to the voice of God now! That your soul may live! Won't you come and receive all, that God has to give? He's the God of creation, and is waiting for YOU! Come all who are thirsty! That your life may be renewed! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm 55:1-3

Do You Feel Like There's Nowhere to Go? I know that it's easy to get discouraged and upset. Feeling "trapped" ... But can't escape "just yet." You've tried everything. And not sure what else to do? Is there someone who can help you through?" Many things you've done. You've wanted to be forgiven! Yet struggle with this each day you're livin'! You meet people and wear a "smile." And sometimes wonder if living is really worth the while. You may have prayed over and over again. And yet constantly feel Like you're "trapped within." You may have tried to call on Jesus' name. Yet find yourself in "guilt and shame." Jesus is here now! And wants you to know… He can bring peace to your troubled soul. Rather than thinking of things done in the past. Come to Jesus now! His love will always LAST! Allow HIM to bring to your life the needed victory now! He'll make you a brand new person! And HOW! By Jim Pemberton
I'm Coming Out! I'm Proud of Jesus! There are proud people "coming out!" Yet, they have no idea what real life is about! Many brag about a lifestyle that's revealing. Yet have lost God's purpose and meaning! I'm coming out for Jesus! I've nothing to hide! I've asked him to take away my sin and pride! Of my own accomplishments... I've nothing to boast! But I'm proud of God the father, son and holy ghost! Whatever pride we have… We've all sinned! Jesus told us; "you must be born again!" Nothing that I've done is worth "bragging of." Rather, I've done things that I'm ashamed of! But God reached down to where I was standing! And filled my life with his peace and understanding! The more I have of Jesus, the less I need of me! His power alone is what can truly set me free! I'm coming out for Jesus! The redeemer of my soul! I'm going to shout it! So the whole world may know! I'm not ashamed of Jesus! I am NOT! By his mercy… My sins have been blood bought! For each step you take to God… He takes two! Won't you allow him to do his work through YOU? A life of righteousness and holiness is what God is asking! Come now! And receive HIS life! It's everlasting! By Jim Pemberton
Will you be the one to fill this bed? Lay down at night and rest your head? Stay here forever and love me the same? Even through the darkness, even through the pain? Take my hand in the middle of the night? Calm my waters in the depth of the fright? Make me laugh with your beautiful snoring? Wake me up with I love you's in the perfect good morning? Be my soulmate in a love unexplainable? A gift from Heaven for others unimaginable? A partner for God in prayer we will serve in unity? As you touch my heart for eternity you love me.

Strengthen my spirit with your precious love Always increasing my faith deep within Help me, Lord, to overcome all adversity And over worldly sins always help me to win Unlock the deep in-dwelling power of faith The spiritual essence which only comes from you Pick me up each day and make me so clean Guide me always in what i should pursue Please never let the enemy overwhelm me Always protect me Lord with your hands Setting me always upon the solid rock Whose power nothing can ever withstand For you are the very first one to love me In that time with you before I was born Always keep me safe within your embrace So I will never again taste of satan's scorn For I am a child of yours the one living God And of your sustaining love my heart will tell Because of your perfect gift of salvation My faith in your promises, Lord, will never fail. Wendell A. Brown, February 7, 2013,
As the moon reflects on the sea I strive to reflect Thee I read Your word and continue to grow As Your love within begins to show I drink the water from Your fountain As you lead me to overcome the highest mountain That has a continuous flow Bringing comfort to thy mind and soul creating new life in thy heart that was hollow seeking your guidance that I shall follow Step for step I shall watch your feet For only through you can we enter the gate to greet There are many that tell Your from above But Lord teach me to show Your love You opened my eyes to see Teaching me to turn from sin to be free For out of my darkness you created a light That drawed me in closer giving sight with a new vision of your word which illuminates and reminds me of your love and everyones fate Now able to see those which eat their own bread seem to the world to have abundance but our dead will they ever learn of their foolish ways I will continue to pray that many shall come to know Jesus is the root from which we must grow and the only one which shall crucify oldself and give a fresh start while burning away all impurities within thy heart as silver going through the furnance in time one shall know it is ready when they can see their face reflecting
This is your day in the sun, Your day of triumph, Of commitment, Of promise and intention, Of New Beginnings, The end of loneliness. This is the new foundation, The plying together of bricks and mortar The bricks to give colour and shape, The mortar to give structure and soundness, So that together you are an impregnable fortress With doors of heartfelt love, Windows of vision, Rooms of peace and generousity, Furnishings of service and beauty, And a garden of sweet memories to grow. I wish you success at every turn, Joy on every path, Delight in all the little things of life, Deeply rooted and vigorously sprouting shoots of loyalty and love Nurtured on the fertiliser of experience and wisdom, And LONG LIFE TOGETHER!
This is not going to be easy; No one ever said it was. We're going to have to be strong now 'Cause God doesn't give up.
(Esther 5: 2) The King Held Out To Esther The Golden Scepter That Was In His Hand She Was His Queen The Woman Who Fulfilled His Dreams One of The Most Beautiful In All His Lands But It Was Persian Law For All That Those The King Did Not Call Would Be Struck Down Where They Stand! Yet Brave & Beautiful Queen Esther Whose Godly Faith Never Left Her To Save Her People, Entered As Planned Because There Was A Plot Devised In Anger So Hot ... By That Prideful, Wicked Prince Haman To Kill All Esther's People Haman Schemed So Evil But The King Didn't Know Why It Began ... Or That Esther Was A Jew In The Line of Hebrews Who Worship The One GOD So Grand But There Was No Hesitation In Ahasuerus' Heart Designation Towards This Woman Who Stood Royal & Serene She Held Ahasuerus' Affection and Did Not Suffer Rejection As She Humbly Walked In, As His Queen I Imagine All Got Quiet Waiting For Swords To Riot And See Esther's Head Roll Across The Floor But At The Sight of Her Dignity The Scepter Pointed Implicitly To Grant Esther Whatever She Implored And Oh, The Interplay of Emotions That Day Between This Woman & Her Loving Man When The King Held Out To Esther His Golden Scepter ... That Was In The Power of His Hand * * * * * * * * * * * * (Part 2) Oh, And That Wicked Haman Was Hanged And His Family Shared The Blame But Esther's People Were Saved From Judah To Benjamin, To Dan ( Walk-On Hadassah - Walk-On ! ) Written & Copyrighted ©: 9/15/2013 by: MoonBee Canady I have always loved the story of Queen Esther ... This is a love story that has it all - - a lovely-hearted, modest girl, (replacing a vain and arrogant queen) ... then getting royally pampered, massaged in expensive, perfumed oils, lots of clothes and jewels, winning a beauty pageant, finding true love, conflict and suspense and lastly the heroine saves the day (and oh, did I mention that she was an orphan?) ... 'Com' on Movie-Makers - we could enjoy a lot more of this ... MoonBee
Life can bring many difficult situations! Often, there's really no explanation! No matter how smart or how wise, Things can take us totally by surprise! We can often find our life off course. Many times, being driven by a "dark force." I know that it's hard to know what to do. Especially with what you may be going through! I can't think of all the right words to say… To help you make it through another day! But there's someone, I can ask you to turn to! He loves and is most concerned about you! His name is Jesus! The almighty God is he! He's committed to you now! And for eternity! He's the one that you can trust and lean on! And is someone that you can certainly depend on! Won't you give him an opportunity to help you? He reaches out his hand! Because he loves you! He is the source with an eternal heavenly treasure! He can completely fill you! Beyond measure! The decision is yours! A choice to be made! There's nothing for Jesus what's worth the "trade!" He's everything that any of us can ever think of! And can do more for you! Than you ever dreamed of! He's the alpha and omega! The beginning and the end! Won't you allow him to be your savior and friend??? By Jim Pemberton
I Rejoice In Knowing God! I will cry out to God with my voice! I take safety in him and rejoice! I shall seek him in the day of trouble! He'll pick me up, when I stumble! I know that he listens, and is always there! I shall seek each day, alone in prayer! I shall remember the Lord's faithful deeds! He gives me strength, and meets my needs! I meditate on his words, and wonders performed! He picks me up, when I feel defeated and scorned! He is God and shines with an awesome brightness! He brings everlasting love, peace and kindness! Behold! He is God! His power is demonstrated! His beauty among the heavens, has been demonstrated! He is God! And shall forever reign supreme! He is my God! My righteousness and everything! By Jim Pemberton 09/09/13
Why can't we be love Beloved It's harder to hate With chains and heavy weight And anger that separates Rather than love undefined No barriers of any kind No mountains to climb Only love to unbind We push innocence down Condemning like we understand When we don't have the first clue As to what they may be going through We cast an image, a people as wrong Because they don't resemble tradition A little different than before With looks a little different With color a little different With identity a little different Oriented in a little different way God's perfect Children With love a little different Can we accept to accept Once and for all Can we expect to accept From now and for all Let the message be heard Jesus is alive in His World The Word comes to life Thank You Christ for Your Sacrifice.

I have been looking for my dream car, 1971 Chevelle. Carrying out dreams and goals are not bad things at all. There is a positive on this. I have a very vivid mind and it goes to work from time to time. Thats a feeling. It is hard for Ek to remember things. How i Feel. Song. Everyone thinks people are there to help them but everyone is out for themselves not trying to help each other out. It is all a dream she would have done this and she would have done that but she did not reply. Where did the girls go was the questions asked by all the guys and then discussed by the girls as they drive off. You were drunk, rambling, and you ran them away. Pure 3-2718space240Dash Bravo. What is this you ask? You can put pure in front of anything and sell It.
Life Is Fragile! Handle With Prayer! Life is fragile! Handle with prayer! We don't know how long we're here! Life isn't as long as someone may think! It could be gone as fast as you can blink! This life that we have... Our God has given! Only he knows how long we'll be livin'! Won't you spend some time to pray? Wherever you are... It will change your day! It's good to spend time with God, one to one! And ask for a touch from his precious son! Christ can restore and change you from within! He can heal and cleanse you from every sin! With him, you can have eternal life insurance! And have an everlasting love assurance! He can give you eternal life to receive! Won't you reach out to him? And simply believe? By Jim Pemberton
Our security is only in God alone! Not in the things we have, or what we call "home!" True joy can be found in God himself! Not from the things we have ourselves! True contentment can be found at the cross! Jesus' death paid whatever it cost! Eternal love comes from doing God's will! Any emptiness, his love shall fill! The love of God is truly worth finding! His eternal life is forever binding! Won't you take a moment and invite HIM in? And have total forgiveness of every sin? God rewards those who diligently seek him. Won't you reach out to him now? And receive him? By Jim Pemberton
Happiness, you are an endless pursuit Everyone wants and likes you full Exactly no one where you are Your "cost" even no one knows Abounding penny and richness Signature brands of clothing Dazzling priced jewels and gems High technological tools and gadgets Are they the ones that gives true happiness? Each persons struggles to work Competition a cyclic phenomena Continuum courses to improve All these, an avoidance of being poor At the end, attaining all these.. Permit me to ask you.. Are they also the ones that gives happiness? Maybe it does gives happiness But how long? How genuine? Reality speaking, some have these But they are not really happy Some feels the lost and emptiness Above all, some feels longingness Happiness is frantically been within reach It has always been within reach Found basically in your ownself and others Ponder and tell, if do you believe so?

Jesus… We Ask For Your Protection! Jesus… We ask for your protection upon our home. May our family sing praises around your throne! May you be honored in the things we say and do! May our hearts be as an expression of YOU! We pray that your blessings will be received! May your spirit of loving, be what's achieved! We pray that we'll strive for a Godly way of living! And walk before you, in a spirit of thanksgiving! We pray that our vows to one another will be "reinforced!" Help us to stay strong, and not drift "off course." May your peace be what binds us together! Allowing you to be our lord… Now and forever! Please bind our hearts together as one! May your words guide our daughters and sons! We thank and bless you! And praise your holy name! An abundant life with you, may we seek to obtain. You are and will always be the Lord for us! We give you our love, and all of our trust! You give us everything we have ever needed! With you, our home has been completed! By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Us His Truth, But Many Reject It! God gave us his truth… But many reject it! Many have chosen a lie… And accept it! God gave us his word, so we can live by his rules. Without God in our lives, many have become "fools." Refusing God's holy truth, and accepting a corruptible lie! They believe whatever untruth can "satisfy." For this reason, many have a very confused mind! As many look for answers of various kinds! God's word is the only truth to securely build on! But many have brought confusion to build their lives on! The principles of God's word, give true freedom to all! Won't you "wake up?" And heed the master's call? God is calling everyone to listen to what he's saying! It's time we seek his truth! In humbleness and praying! The truth of Jesus Christ is the most important thing! He has the answer to whatever life may bring! Please allow his precious truth to touch your life today! He can remove and take all doubts away! The words of Jesus Christ ring loud and very clear! He'll bring the sunshine in! Any darkness will disappear! By Jim Pemberton
Christ Stepped Down From His Heavenly Throne! Christ stepped down, from his heavenly throne. He came to earth… For 33 years, he called it his home! His mission had one purpose and desire in mind! He was to one day, be a sacrifice for mankind! He taught and gave us his words, powerfully spoken! He knew that one day, his body would be broken! He desired that all, would one day, come to know him! Because of his resurrection, all can receive him! He's alive today! And reigns from heaven above! And desires to touch us, with his endless love! Won't you humbly come, and accept what he's given? And experience the power, of being forgiven! This can be your moment! This can be YOUR day! He loves you much more, than words can say! All honor and praise, to Christ Jesus, our king! You are our righteousness! Our everything! By Jim Pemberton
From the day I promised to be with you forever… It's now been 25 years together! Through the trials, laughter and many miles We've had our share of joy and trials!

God came down and became a man He wanted to fully understand Since the consequence for sin has always been death Jesus had to Indore our punishment up until his very last breath He became the ultimate sacrifice So all mankind did not have to pay the price His 33 years on this earth science can fully prove, and his horrific death was recorded in history The miracles Jesus performed, to a believer, hold no questions or mysteries Many struggle with the concept that Jesus was God in man form However, he did this so he could guide us through our life storms God knew there was no other way To save man from their future judgment day He saw that humans had limited power To resist temptation and be their own strong tower So he sent his son to die for me and you So we could live in heaven someday too The only thing you must do is receive Accept Jesus in your heart and truly believe, Something so simple has become so hard, For many in this world are deeply scarred They question his goodness and question if he cares For life can be extremely unfair he never said we wouldn't suffer pain that the hurricanes would not saturate us with torrential rains However He did promise he would give us peace That we would walk through troubles with his release He promises to turn it all around for our good He has been misrepresented and misunderstood There is a purpose for all who trust in him He assures us that if you are his child, you win! Yet, so many put Jesus in a box Pull him out like old Christmas socks Once or twice a year go to church, say a prayer and then disappear forgetting that God has feelings too And that he is desperately in love with you Many believe the lie that he is mad That they are to damaged and have been too bad They overlook that his love has never changed Humans walk away from him, Jesus always stays the same Don't underestimate his grace and power That can transform you in your darkest hour You don't have to believe me Ask him yourself and you will see You never know until you try Don't be ignorant; he is not just a theory in the sky He is everywhere, at anytime It is your wellbeing that is on his mind So during this holiday season Don't forget to celebrate the real reason The birth of Christ Is what gives each person a chance at a new life He is no respecter of persons, and he is not counting your sins He's waiting for you with his hand stretched out Begging you to let him in.

Jesus, Please Renew My Mind! Jesus, may my mind be touched and renewed! By your grace, may it think on thoughts of YOU! May my life and mind be restored from within! Help me to be free from the bondage of sin! Please help me to think on things that are pure! And focused on your words, which are secure! May there be thoughts inspired by your kindness! Without your light, I'm walking in blindness! The beauty of YOU, Jesus, is what refreshes me! It's your Holy Spirit that daily blesses me! Thank you, my Lord, for being loving and kind! By your strength, you've transformed my mind! You've given to me hope… Once again! You're one that I can always call a friend! In you, I have a mind of peace and security! And look forward to being with you for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Knows All About Your Pain! "It's hard to see someone I love, go through so much pain." These were the words I spoke, When I called on Jesus' name. "This person whom I love has gone through so much." "How I wish to bring my peace and a healing touch." I cried and wept as I heard the master's voice. His gift of love is for us all... it's our choice! His body was broken. A sacrifice was made. His love... For our sorrow and pain... is what he gave! His grace is more than sufficient, for the pain we often endure. His love and commitment to you, is steadfast and secure! He loves you so much!. And waits at your heart's door. He gives peace and comfort! And so much more! The pain and suffering you're going through today. Please listen to the words Christ has to say; "I am God!" "I'll be with YOU... until the end!" My love and devotion to you will never end." By Jim Pemberton
I know of a brother, who's lost and confused… Many of his relationships, he's already "abused." He's not really sure, which direction he's going… There's a lot of wise advice, that he's ignoring! He's choosing to ignore the God who loves him. And refuses to acknowledge how much he needs him! He decided to leave his family behind him… Perhaps, one day, they'll be able to "find him!" I pray for this dear brother! He needs prayer! I know that wherever he goes… God is always there! Please, dear Jesus, touch him with your kindness! Without YOU dear lord… He's walking in blindness! No matter where he goes… Which path is taken! God will always love him! He's never forsaken! The words of God, must somehow get his attention! To give him a clear path, and a godly direction! May the love of Christ, get a hold of his heart! Coming to Jesus, is a good place to start! Whatever this brother does, or where he goes… Only the righteousness of God, can make him whole! Dear Lord… Be with my brother! That he may know you! During the journey of life, may he learn to trust you! The path of God's footsteps, gives one a true meaning! May this brother acknowledge God! And start believing! By Jim Pemberton
The shadows over take my mind at times but your love stands so true for me it takes care of the pain I feel but when the shadows call it seems so loud when your soft whisper is covered by clouds Why so faint is Thy voice for me did I fall to hard inside this hole Do the clouds stand so close for a reason let me out of this season of darkness let me hold Thy hand inside mine keep me warm and fill my heart I love the way you touch my face when the tears fall and you open your warm Embrace Your truth is all I need to live a true life for all to see your hand and love guiding me But I can't walk this road alone I need to hear your voice inside I need your touch so very much I see the pain and feel it to I need your love to lift the blue's Take me now and use my life Help me Lord, to escape the strife.

I spread my wings to fly away, I spread my wings not to die today. My soul is being torn open now, My soul will break free and not come down. Noise and music fill my ears to a point of over flow, it run's through my veins and pores out so slow. It runs so wild and free, not knowing where it wants to be. So let me fly for Christs sake, all i want to be is free, you hold me down long enough and you'll see that I'm a monster like you never seen.
Many call making love, from a physical reaction. As many try to find a loving satisfaction! True love can't be bought, paid, or traded This is something that shouldn't be debated! True love is from God, and freely given! His love can change the way you're livin'! Only God's love can cleanse the heart from sin! And bring true satisfaction deep within! If it's "cheap love," you seek… You can find it! But you'll end up empty, hurt and blinded! If it's true love you want. Look no more! Jesus is here... Knocking at your heart's door! Won't you let him in? And let his love touch you? He wants to do this. Because he really loves you! He loves you so much, he bled and died! In him, you can be made whole and sanctified! Won't you accept the love he freely gives? It will bless you each day that you live! By Jim Pemberton
A Sense of love protrudes my veins. Echoes through my heart and leaves stains. I do not know it yet,but it feels like a strain. A strain of romance flooded my brain. A sense to find her drove me insane! But will I find her ever? And if I do,Will she love me forever? Or will She leave saying "Never!"? Will I find her inside my Endeavour? Will she ever think I am Clever? But now She is soon in my arms! She has such a charm, To make me fell safe from harm! And when we meet it will be an alarm , An alarm of love for this girl in my arms!
I'll never fully understand, or comprehend. The power of God's love in the cleansing of sin! From where I was, to where I am today… I appreciate God! More than words can say. I shall give him glory and praise! And seek to worship him! All of my days! He's more precious to me than ever before! His precious love… I need so much more! His marvelous love, shall bless me to the end… For this, I say, "Hallelujah!" And "Amen!" By Jim Pemberton
This place where I go, When all seems lost around me. Life seems to drown me. He will always fill my cup Take my cross and lift me up. Brenda Meier-Hans 08.28.2014
In spite of what you hear, and what others tell you… There's a God who loves and will NEVER fail you! God is powerful! Much bigger than our constitution! He's more solid than any government institution! His wisdom what lays the groundwork for a foundation! Without him, we simply become a godless nation! He gives true freedom, when there's none to be found! His principles of life, are what provide a solid ground! Won't you give him a chance, in your life today? And listen to the words of love, that he has to say? His gift of salvation… You too can receive it! An everlasting life with HIM… You can achieve it! His son Jesus has brought freedom from sin! By his shed blood... You can be born again! Thank you my Lord! For the life you've given! You've never failed me! I am free and forgiven! By Jim Pemberton
Love the Lord Your God! "Love your God with your body, soul and mind." The is the greatest commandment you'll find. "Love your neighbor as yourself," is number two . These commands are what is asked of you. The law, the prophets hang on these commands. God loves you! He makes no harsh demands. His death on the cross— the life that he gave. He wants your love for him and your neighbor, in how you behave. He created you to have a special relationship with him! He desires your fellowship, so you can know him! Reading his word, will give you wisdom in every task... This will give you a desire to obey him that will last. Confess all sins to him now! Your life… He will restore! Living for Jesus… Who could ask for anything more? By Jim Pemberton
What? You Really Don't Like Me? Is there something about me, that you don't like? If you seen me today… Would you want me to "take a hike?" Perhaps it's my personality, or a habit of mine. You can't stop talking about me, much of the time. Pointing out my faults to some of the people you know… The words you say are actually eating at your soul! Instead of loving me, the way God wants you to… You bring up things about m, you're not supposed to do! Have you ever just once, took the time to pray for me? Am I someone you want to be with for eternity? STOP! And think about the damage you've already done! Begin to pour out your heart to Jesus, God's son! May he help you to really LOVE me the way he does! The cross he bore was for you and I… Whom he loves! May your thoughts about me, make your heavenly father proud! I hope to see you as we meet Jesus one day… In the clouds! By Jim Pemberton
What's Happening to Marriages Today? I was listening to someone just the other day… And I couldn't believe what he had to say! He had left his wife and children for another! She was young enough to be his daughter! Here they were, "in love" and holding hands! Hoping to soon, get their "wedding bands!" They were pretending that this was so "cool." Living now by their own "set of rules!" How sick and disgusting this is getting to be! Is this something that many can't see? God gave us Adam and Eve to become one. To bear fruit through daughters and sons! He gave us marriage as holy vows are made. Not to march in an "adulterous parade!" We are treading on very dangerous ground! Faithfulness and commitment are scarcely found! The very definition of marriage is changing! As the family unit is always rearranging! Our only hope is in Jesus! And him alone! Let's promote his love! Into our hearts and home! Let's allow his love to be our heart's glue! And bring new meaning to the words; "I love you!" May his love bind our hearts and lives together! And remain faithful to each other forever! By Jim Pemberton
I rise each day with a song in my heart And so rich is its blossoming melody For I know my heart has heard his call Yes His dear precious call of life to me I sleep so peacefully throughout the night Dreaming lovingly of His grace which stays I know he always listens to my prayers For I daily feel His answers coming my way I know I will never be left to strive alone For his spirit has made my heart its home And as I reach out to him with praise words He eases the aches and pain within my bones For His love is a very true healing medicine Whose touch will evenly flow deep within And with each tender blessing I receive daily I know more embraces will come my way again ...because of His deep love for me.
This has been another year that came and went! I often wonder, where has my time been spent? It seems like yesterday, we rang in the new year! But, very quickly, it has all just "disappeared." I think about my accomplishments, goals and dreams. Do they matter anymore? Do they mean anything? This life I have, is just but a brief moment in time. One day, I'll simply leave everything fast behind! My relationship with Christ is what really matters! Everything else in life, is just "empty chatter!" I pray that as this new year comes and goes… My relationship with Christ will continue to grow! The older I get, I'm beginning to see! I need much more of Jesus, and less of me! He is what's needed! Whatever this year holds! I need him more, as each year I grow old! With each year, that comes and passes me by… I want more of Jesus, until the day I die! He is my friend, what is certainly needed! With him in me, my life is completed! Thank you Lord for this brand new year! You are the one I'll hold ever so dear! By Jim Pemberton
My faith is not in religion Or denominational churches too My faith is not in any good work No matter what I do. My faith is in my saviour Who shed his blood for me My faith is in the finished work The work at Calvary.
Unique life Wish was sent to agree, And mouth was given to wish, And heart was made to joy, For I still beg to come true. I dream for what I can't, And I do what I can. My friends were born in a stage Of thousand and lakes, But I was born in the class of hundred. I wore sweater for its cold, But my friend wore blazer of its winter. I play with stone, But my friend plays with coins. I cried with tears, But my friend cried with things. I travel with bus, But My friend travel with plane. I wish big dream, But my friend still wishes their childhood For they don't know, Times still travelling with those endless river, Day will go slowly, But time will run fast For there is no wish to come again I believe It's always better to be poor in earth And wise in heaven. written by Nehemiah theophylus haokip date 3/6/11
"Hello It's Jesus" I'm 6' 3" and 220lb man and He brought me to my knees, Yes it was Jesus I wasn't the kind of man who would follow anyone, I did follow Jesus But when Jesus touched my heart and blessed me and I fell to my knees and I cried, I believe in and love Jesus You can't see Him or touch Him, He's like a breeze that covers our land, Yes I know Him its Jesus Strong enough to rule the heart of any person, Yes to Jesus He'll lift you up and you'll see all around as He turns your life inside out, Yes that's Jesus Most people are like me and they struggle day in and day out, with doubt, Cause by satan Too busy with having fun and playing games to care about the love and care He can give them, or To listen to Jesus When I see children with their mother I thank God our Father for our Brother, Jesus Rev.

God Gives His Very Best! God loves YOU! And always gives his best! He offers his love! Why settle for less? He provides everything you'll ever need! And has given his word to direct and lead! He gave his son to be sacrificed for us! And asks us to give him our heart and trust! His son came to you may have life eternal! So that your name can be in heaven's journal! Won't you take this time, and accept him? There's no reason to refuse and reject him! Won't you allow his presence to fill you? Before the problems of life "overwhelm" you! He's God! He can do more than what you can think of! And he loves you more than any words can speak of! By Jim Pemberton
May Jesus Be Glorified! May Jesus be glorified! His enemies scattered! He's everything to me! And all that matters! Every battle in life… He's there with me! He is my protector… Because he loves me!

My life with him, is eternally bliss! For he is mine! And I am HIS! By Jim Pemberton
Got the flu, feeling blue Feeling down and all alone Can't go to church and spread my germs So what is one to do?

Man's Afflictions and God's Salvation! I've seen and heard of many afflictions! Things happen in life, that need our attention! There are things that happen that bring despair. Wondering if anyone listens or even cares! There's a God in heaven who sees what's wrong! There are many things that don't belong! Evil moves with a power and destructive force! It comes in many forms, from an ungodly source! God knows what is happening and offers a plan! His gift of salvation is freely offered to man! His ways of living are at odds with this earth! Anyone can come to Christ, and receive a "new birth!" If life's heartaches and worries are pulling you down… There's a new life for YOU! Waiting to be found! Your afflictions, for God's healing, is for you to receive! Won't you reach out to him now? And simply believe? His gifts of mercy and hope, is what HE can give! He can totally transform you! And the way you live! His salvation, for life's heartaches, is freely yours! A new life with Jesus can be true and secure! By Jim Pemberton
Today, it just doesn't seem fair That we are still able to breathe. They have given us their air- Our duty to lead the life they leave.
Please Touch Me, Lord Jesus! Please touch me, Lord Jesus! I need you! I come now, because I want to be with you! Bless me with your presence! I patiently wait! I need your now! Before it's too late! Touch my life with your Holy Ghost' fire! Move me with a godly passion and holy desires! Come now! And bring a revival within! Show me your ways! And cleanse me from sin! Thank you my Lord! For doing what you do! I am so honored and blessed to know YOU! By Jim Pemberton
You are like the sun shining in brilliant beauty but I cannot stare Too close and I scorch flaring passion sparks within burning out my heart Too far and I die frozen cold in lifeless ice I die without you Beyond my control I orbit, needing your warmth I cannot approach In the sunset glow the red flows like my blood does when gazing at you I cry at night time moonlight fails to reflect you and my spirit fades At sunrise I smile because I can spend the day before your presence
Random Free Write: Just flowing - writing and not stopping to think or even to lift my pen I kept going and the words seemed to have no end Understanding that the process is a simple one Love everyone and stear free of the wicked one I'm not sure if it was winter or spring But, I gave way to all the flaws and imperfections and realized that this is me The change came when I saw fit and not when someone else decides It's not hard to forgive And even easier to forget Does that not reflect love and also what it begets? Except too many hold grudges and even pretend to be angry beyond whats necessary Caught up in someone elses problem and not dealing with their own is a hard burden to carry Let it go stop negativity where it begins Cut people short if you have to because this is your life you have to live Be on the lookout for those looking to devour you Pray for those who do ill sh@! to you Respond in a way that makes them realize they love you and hope it inspires change Still maintain dignity and move on to something new Growing, building up treasures for a place greater than you can even dream to go It's the simple things that help make life flow I could go on and on with this practice flow Writing and stoping to think or lift my pen This is one of those poems that didn't make it to the waste bin.
A Backslidden Brother… I have a brother, who once loved God and his word! It was God's call on his life, that he once heard! He was raised in church and taught God's ways! And promised to serve him all of his days! But, as he grew older, he began to really doubt. What God's purpose of salvation was about! He began to deny the power of the cross. And refused to believe that ANY were lost! He twisted God's word, into his own meaning! Very soon, m any lies, he was now believing! He wrote to friends about his new found belief. He had a new found storytelling with no relief! How did this brother turn from God so fast? Why does he believe these lies? Others asked! As time went by, this brother became confused… It was him, not God, who slowly began to lose! In a matter of time, his life began to "fall apart." As deception slowly crept into his stubborn heart! God's truth, that he rejected, can set him free! And turn his life around! For all eternity! We all need to love and serve God from within! And accept his total forgiveness of sin! God's word is true! And will never be put to shame! May we NEVER forget the power in his name! By Jim Pemberton
I Owe Everything to Jesus! Jesus' death paid it all! What have I given in return? His death on the cross… Was from love and concern! His life for mine… On Calvary… Has been paid! His offer of eternal life, has been made! Through God's word, he's been talking! And stands at my hearts door… knocking! I'll invite him in? As my guest! Then, your life will be totally blessed! He brings health and healing to my bones! He can bring his love to my family and home! "Come unto me." Is the the master's call. Living for him is worth it all! He's here right now! In this very place… And extends his mercy and grace. I accept and receive him today! I love him more, than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus, Keep me in your presence and bless me with your grace Allow me to walk in your will and hide not your face Teach me your precepts forever and always and I vow to follow you all of my days. Shield me with your power Keep me in perfect peace Cover me with your blood Do with me as you please Let not my enemies overtake me as I seek your face Love me Lord until infinity so I can run this race Hold me in your hands so I may proclaim your name HIS plans are greater than my plans because Jesus deserves the fame.
LEAVE ME ALONE! Oh what? Are you too weak to handle The little games I like to play? GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU DEMON BEFORE YOU TAKE ME AWAY! Two can play this contest I don't like to be alone STOP MOCKING ME YOU TRAITOR GOD IS STRONGER YOU KNOW! Then why doesn't He take your pain away? IT'S JUST A TEST YOU SEE FOR WITH HIM I AM INFINITELY STRONGER THAN WITH YOU I COULD EVER BE!
There was a woman, alone and afraid... Her husband left her… She felt betrayed! I remember seeing her look of despair… Was there anyone who really cared? This was a very difficult situation. A lot of heartache and frustration! I remember seeing her at church before. But no one sees her anymore! People would pass her by, Seemingly, not concerned… Even though things in her life, had taken "the wrong turn." Aren't we to help the widows and single mothers too? This is what God's word asks of me and you! As the body of Christ... We should serve one another. Reaching out to the widow and single mother. We must let them know they're not forgotten! Before their lives hit "rock bottom" This is a command Christ Wants us to do! He'd do the same for ME and for YOU! By Jim Pemberton
If this is how it's supposed to be, Then, baby, I can't wait! If this is just a taste, Maturing will be great!
I May Not Be Here Tomorrow! When tomorrow comes, I may not be here! This life I have… Could just disappear! I may think of this world as my "sanctuary." But my life down here, is just temporary! Life just passes me by, and goes by fast! I can think of many things done in the past! But the past is gone by… Tomorrow's another day! What am I going to do? What am I going to say? I don't know about the future, or what it may bring. Life has it's way of bringing good and bad things! I'm going to look to Jesus and give him my trust! Living daily for him... I shall try! I must! Jesus holds tomorrow in the palm of his hand! Everything about me... He already understands! HE shall be here tomorrow! Till the very end! He's somebody I can give my life to! And depend! I come to you Jesus! For comfort and delight! I know that with you, everything will be alright! Life may not turn out the way I expect it to be! But Jesus will take care of it all! Most assuredly!

Do We Share the Hope Christ Gave Us? The Bible says to "give reason of the hope within us." But too often, we drag a lot of weight beneath us! Christ wants us freely to share his hope with others! We need to willingly share his love with another! How will others have hope? Unless we share it? Christ told us to pick up our cross, and bear it! We need to be his example, in the world's madness! We need to do it from a heart of joy and gladness! We needn't be ashamed of the work God has done! All glory and honor should be given to his son! He gives joy unspeakable! And the half hasn't been told! May we be an expression of his joy! Both young an old! Let's bless the lord! In what we say and how we live! He's patient with us! And so willing to forgive! Please come Lord Jesus! And take self pride away! Bring your holy conviction, and give us the words to say! This may seem odd! And to many… Old fashioned! Stir our hearts to share with a godly compassion! Please come Jesus! And stir our hearts, from within! That we would love to tell others about YOU! Our best friend! By Jim Pemberton

Go. Change the hearts of those who speak, "I don't believe."
For you I'll plant this tree Upon the ground that you've walked There to grow and shade and feed The friends that you've made. May this tree bear sweet fruit Found only in this place Where others will come to learn of you And benefit from your grace. For you I'll tend this field Filled with bounteous food For which you labored many years Through endless droughts And lonely tears. May this food feed the hungry Enriching many lives To give their best, And to the many hopeless, rest. For you I'll repair this barn Mending every nail, painting planks, Cleaning tanks, and stacking each bail. Here you toiled in the heat With aching blisters On your hands and feet. May this barn shelter the homeless, The lonely and oppressed Where broken lives are mended With loving kindness. For you I'll guard this house Protecting every treasure From the thieves of night And the sun's light. The lessons that you taught me Shine brighter than gold; They neither rust nor fade Nor tarnish when old. May this treasure be spent To cultivate minds To burn brighter than the luster That money finds. For you I'll tend this grave Cleaning off your stone, Trimming the grass And plucking the weeds That have grown. How quiet it is here among so many trees Like the leaves that have fallen You're honored among these. May this grave beneath the soil Remind us of our Lord That death has been conquered, And life to all has been restored. For you I'll shed these tears And mourn you for my loss, Yet, through the haze of disbelief I see an empty cross. May these tears be fruitful And water with my love The tree that I just planted For my father, now above.

It's dark in here, no, it's black. I don't like it here, I want to depart. There's no way out that I can see, This is in me, it is my heart. Love is in here, somewhere in the dark, Love is in here, I cannot see, Love is in here, it's hiding from me. Love is in here, Jesus, please help me to see. My love is in darkness, so no-one can see, What love can I impart, from a cold closed heart. Jesus, my friend, my Master, my brother, Let Your light shine, through the darkness inside. Let Your light shine, so bright in my heart, Shine so bright that the dark will depart. For a heart without darkness is a wonderful place, Where love can forever mingle with Grace. © Dave Timperley 2011
UNSUPPORTED CODE Jesus Is My Rock And Salvation! Jesus is my rock and my salvation! He brings me joy, in any situation! He is my strength and high tower! Behold his awesome love and power! He brings me comfort! When I am hurting! And speaks word of hope that are reassuring! He comes! And the darkness goes away! His glory brings hope and peace to my day! He comes! And brings words of encouragement! By his voice, he removes discouragement! He comes! Let the earth ring loud and clear! His coming is evident and so very near! He reigns! Behold his majesty and great power! He's here to take away my sin! This very hour! He's here! And desires to have fellowship with me! How I want to be with him! For all eternity! By Jim Pemberton
I was talking to someone, who's friend recently died... "I should've told him about Jesus!" "But I never tried!" He was thinking about many opportunities that passed him by. He didn't think about this, until he seen his friend die… "I should've told him about Christ." Were the words spoken. Now, he was crying out to God, with a heart that's broken. Scripture says; "it's appointed once to die, and then judgment." Our life is but for a short time, and gone in one moment! He began talking about how he "could've," or "should've." But this was just too overwhelming, for him to speak of. He wanted to share what the Lord Jesus had given… He was grateful for the fact that his sins are forgiven. He sat down in prayer and determined in his mind…. He'd share Jesus with others! This was the time! His friend was gone… And there was no way to reach him! But there was something God wanted to teach him! May we all be encouraged to share Christ with others! This is a way to fulfill; "love and serve one another!" There may be a friend that God wants you to reach out to! Christ has given all that you need… So won't you??? "That others may know Christ." This needs to be our goal! With God's help, we can share HIS good news with every lost soul! By Jim Pemberton
The Preaching of the Gospel Is An Offense! Scripture says the preaching of the gospel, is an offense to the lost. Christ' followers should share HIS news! No matter the cost! It seems like many in church are walking in a spirit of fear. Many would just rather live a life that's "happy and secure." "Why tell others of God's salvation?" This may offend! Why, it may even cost them to lose one of their "friends!" Many don't know enough of God's word to share to another. They have a hard enough time loving their sister or brother! God help us! For the many who Who claim to be Christ' believers! Many have listened to the lies of the great deceiver! Rather than being the person to preach the gospel this hour… Many don't seek the Lord's wisdom, strength or power! Ball games seem to have replaced a need for prayer… Why witness to the lost? Is there anyone who cares? It's no wonder why we live in a confused generation. As many families don't have Jesus as their foundation! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news around! It needs to be spread to every city, village and town! May we all be stirred to preach the good news today! And be stirred with the words that Christ has to say! Whosoever will, come and drink of the life he gives! And live by HIS gospel! Each day that we live! By Jim Pemberton 09/18/13
I Don't Want to Forget You, Lord! Lord Jesus, I don't want to ever forget about you! I just want to take some time, to praise you! During my life, I want the past behind me! When I was struggling… It was you that helped me! The many times you listened to my cries… I knew you'd help me! I didn't know why! I want to cherish the promises you made. I want to enjoy this life, that you gave! I want to remember the times we've had together! I don't want to leave you! Now… Or ever! I want to think about the good times, that we've had! You brought joy to my heart! I am so glad! I want take each day and keep "moving on." I know that you are with me… All the day long! Thank you Jesus! For the times you've been there! Always a friend I need! Who truly cares! An abundance of life, is what I received! That moment I trusted you, and began to BELIEVE! By Jim Pemberton
I Once Loved to Tell Others Of Jesus! I once told others of Jesus! As a young boy... Witnessing for Christ, Is what I enjoyed! I told others of a time to repent... I loved to talk about Jesus, wherever I went! As the years went by, And I grew old. The things of God, I had no longer told. A coldness in my life, began to brew. Even God's word… I no longer knew. I only talked about God to people in the church. In my heart, was a hunger for a new search. A search to return to Jesus! My lost love! I fell on my knees! And cried to God above. I began to confess, to God, everything! A new love for him I knew he would bring. I began to feel his love come all over me. The chains were now gone! I was set free! If a coldness for Jesus dwells in you. Remember his love is faithful and true! Please come to Jesus! And be cleansed within! And experience the joy of being born again! By Jim Pemberton
To those who have a broken heart And your burden is hard to bare Your life as just been torn apart And no one seems to care. Your mind is in a turmoil And you don't, know what to do Your in a state of loneliness And you feel your life is through. At night you can,t stop crying Because of the hurt and pain You keep on saying to your self My life won,t be the same. To those who have a broken heart I would like to encourage you Your life can yes be turned around For God can make things new. I pray let Jesus help you He loves you and he cares Just let him have your broken heart He is the answer to its prayers.
Man's Confusion and God's Redemption! God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness… Neither will he put up with man's unrighteousness His truth has already been given unto all men… And his love has been shown unto them. The invisible things of God, from creation, have been seen… Being understood by men. From HIM… who's made everything. Many haven't glorified him or thanked him for his creation.... And many have become foolish in their vain imaginations! Professing themselves to be wise, many have become "fools." By not obeying God. But living by "their set of rules." Changing God's glory to that of corruptible man. Many have brought a great darkness throughout our land. God has given them to uncleanness that abounds in their hearts... While many have burned in their own lust. Right from the start. Worshiping the creature(not creator). Has given a new direction… And has caused in many hearts. A deep "spiritual infection." Women and men leaving their God given affection in lust of each other. Have changed God's true design and purpose of one another. As God has given so many over to a reprobate mind… Many continue in shameful acts of just about every kind. Without an acknowledgment for God in each of our lives... We'll continue down a "deep spiral" filled with so many lies. God is our only hope. His gift of eternal life is freely given. Why not let him be the God of the way your livin'?

The road is rough Even though I may seem tough My soul purpose and strength comes from above He showers me with good grace and love, but is it enough? Guardian angel on my shoulder telling me to turn right, But ignorance makes you blind to heavens might, the gates of hell are now in sight its time to fight for the light of the heavens upon us shines so bright
There's a healing Jesus! He's alive today! He's here now! And can take all sickness away! There's a loving Jesus! He can cleanse your soul! He is more faithful, than you will every know!

There's a gracious Jesus! He's so loving and kind! His dedication to us all, has stood the test of time! Won't you come to Jesus! And receive him too? He's knocking at your heart's door… Waiting for YOU! Won't you experience Jesus! And all he has to give! He can make you a new person! Each day that you live! By Jim Pemberton
That's the amazing thing about love: Love doesn't matter who it melts together, 'Cause He will never give you up.
I've Found A Shelter in Jesus! Through the storms of life's sea… I found a shelter in Christ! He protects me! He's here to help me with life's uncertainties… And will help me through any difficulties! He's my solid rock and a true foundation! I run to him, no matter the situation! He's here to guide us and to lead mealong… Even when everything in life is "going wrong!" He is my help, shelter and a strong tower! He is here to help me… Every day and hour! He's given to me and my family his blessing! There's nothing from him I want to be missing! Jesus… My lord and wonderful friend! He's brought me peace and hope within! Glory to Jesus! For his mercy and love! He's my protector and shelter from heaven above! By Jim Pemberton
I walk outside to see all that I can see. Over there is our house, our home, In the distance, you can see. And that place of hallowed happiness Forever has been our home And forever will be so evermore. That house is small but raised us tall, From the perfect parents who loved us so To the perfect sister for which every man would want. The house built us all up strong. More than a mere building, It is a place to love and be loved, A place that hands you hope that you give right back, And a place of everlasting faith. This home is where my parents taught me about God And opened me up to Jesus. They opened the eyes of the blind for all to see, And the blind included me. They taught me to be the best I can be; The best things in life are free. They have taught us so well, And they all have saved my soul. Even if I am not there now, I carry Him with me. I carry them with me. I carry Their values and Their teachings with me. In this house, this home, We reside. We cannot forget this. This is where my Mother lives. This is where my Father lives. This is where my Sister lives. This is where We live, In this loving, caring, beautiful home They made just for us. We cannot forget this either. This is where it all began. This is where the hunger and thirst was created; This is where we are fulfilled. We cannot, we must not forget this: This is where God lives. This is where Jesus lives. This is where The Lord lives; The Father and The Almighty. This is where We live; This is where We reside. We must not forget this. We must not forget this: What a beautiful and perfect life this is.
What's Done In Secret… Will Come Out In The Open! I've read God's word, and it's clearly spoken… What's done in secret… Will come out in the open! I've been guilty of this, too many times! I never thought of it, to really be a "crime?" "Nobody's watching" was the thought pondered… As my mind began to "explore and wander." It didn't take long for my life to go "off course." By a powerful wind of temptation's force! No matter how many times I took time to pray… This "secret" held on, and wouldn't go away! I went to church on Sunday and prayed and cried. This "secret" remained, no matter how hard I tried! God told me, I was to give up what surrounded me! This was hard to do, but God was there to help me! Many things I thought I needed, to give me pleasure… Didn't fulfill the love that God gave! An eternal treasure! As each day passes on… I want to humbly confess… I'm giving my life to God! He'll take care of the rest! May the Lord Jesus stir a deep passion within… May it be my desire to be more like HIM! God is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow! I've no secrets with him! No more shame or sorrow! Jesus is the Lord of lords! And the King of kings! He's my lord and savior! My everything! By Jim Pemberton

As the morning sunlight falls , On the dew laden flower , Workers stir within their beds , Blessing the minutes to the hour , The drunkard stirs in wind swept streets , As babies demand their feed , Whilst birds and bees take flight in hope , A new day in search of feed , But as the sun does slowly rise , All this would seem to cease , Fear not it is only intermission , In the next show of natures peace .
When a man falls from Grace, He loses his link to God. When a man falls from Grace,fierce battles he Encounters. Raging storm strikes, His soul is ensnared, He gets blurred visions, The enemy waxes stronger. When a man falls from Grace its like two-edged Sword-a weapon of death And life. When a man falls from Grace,the Holy Spirit Departs;joy is lost-sadness Creeps in. Without authority,power Is absent. The grace of God keeps The soul-never lose it!!!

You're my favorite character In a book that ended abruptly, Remember our wild laughter It's a lollapalooza interrupted. I looked for the next book in your series, But I discovered there was no more, I cannot find any peace or rest, Without some kind of closure. It's just cruel and unfair, You thought no one would care, BUT I DO, God created you perfectly, That's all I could see because I always loved you.
I won't be happy with my life, until… I live in accordance with God's will! I need to seek his will, in all that I do! All that I face in life… He'll see me through! His will is the best design, that's in place! He designed me, because of his grace! Seeking the will of Jesus, gives a peace of mind! And helps me to be successful with my time! Serving HIM gives my life a true meaning! It's in HIS direction, that I need to be leaning! HE is what true joy and peace are about! He knows my life! Both inside and out! Thank you dear God, for being with me! It is no secret how much you love me! You are have come, to nourish my soul! By your will, I'm complete and whole! I bless your name! Forever you are praised! I shall seek your will! All of my days! By Jim Pemberton
We can wake up, And this all might be changed. But one thing remains: We are saved.
I am labeled fool for caring for my fellow man. And criticized for being a puppet without a plan. They say my time is squandered, tending to the sick and weak. Why assist the destitute, they are best left on the street? They insist I play their game, and adopt their point of view. Surely I must be crazy, to worry the way I do. They say you can't save sinners, their misery's meant to be. And when the poor beg your help, walk on by like you don't see. Why suffer another's pain, they ask of me night and day? Yet if you believe in God, then there is no other way.
Sad, useless, all alone that's all I use to moan crying tears of blood smearing my name like mud a lonely shadow in the corner I was but a lowly mourner then one day you appeared and wiped away my painful tears you said you loved me then gave a nod I asked who are you you said "YOUR GOD!"
Do You Appreciate What God Has Given? Think about the days you've been livin.' Do you appreciate what God has given? He's give to us all a beautiful earth! And provided the opportunity for your birth! He sent his only son who bled and died! His life for yours, the day he was crucified! He has even given to you, his Holy Spirit! An everlasting life with him, he freely gives it! He's given to you, his word, so you can read it! Whether you want to or not. You need it! What more could one ask of a God who's kind? His faithfulness has stood the test of time! Won't you accept the fact, that he loves you? He offers eternal salvation, because he wants to! Won't you come to him with an appreciation? And receive his mercy, love and redemption? You'll be thankful and grateful to know… That day you allowed God to make you whole! By Jim Pemberton
We have dreams to fulfill. We have goals to achieve. We have hearts to inspire. We have love to give. We have faith to teach. We have hope to send. We have strength to create. We have bravery to find. We have positivity to shine. We have courage to build. We have stories to tell. We have hands to hold. We have lives to live. All in Your Heavenly name, We pray, Amen.
When that feeling rushes in- I don't know what to do with my life- I need to search from within And look up toward the light.
The Glory Of Jesus Is Very Real! The glory of Jesus is very real! Behold the lord God of Israel! The wonders of Jesus can be seen! It was he that created everything! The awesomeness of Jesus is evident. By his spirit and the power of his presence! The light of this world is in Christ alone! His life for ours, is what he did atone! The words of Jesus can set you free! What he can do for you, he can do for me! Now is the day of salvation! This is the time! This is offered to all of mankind! The glory of Jesus can bless you today! Please come now, with no delay! Allow the presence of Jesus to strengthen you! He's here right now! And wants to help you! By Jim Pemberton
Pharisee went into the Temple to pray Sure of his goodness and love for God He prayed confidently about his deeds Fasting, tithing, praying, He did faithfully This man was glad when the sinner came Into the Temple with eyes downcast. For it gave a perfect contrast to himself. So he thanked God he wasn't like this sinner. Sinner was bowed so very low before God. "God have mercy on me a sinner." he whispered. No list of good uttered, as he could see none. Jesus said Sinner not Pharisee was justified. Simon the Pharisee invited Jesus over to eat. Simon didn't have servants wash Jesus feet He didn't kiss Jesus or draw near for fear, Fear of what others Pharisees would think. In came a sinful woman with unkempt hair. She wept at Jesus feet without looking up. Carefully she wiped these feet with her hair. Simon was now sure Jesus was no prophet A prophet could surely tell she was a sinner. How could he let her touch him that way? Reading Simon's thoughts Jesus taught. Using this contrast in real life as a lesson. He asked Simon if there were two debts One greater, one lesser and both forgiven. Who would feel greater love and gratitude? Simon replied, "The one whose debt was greater" "Correct" said the One who would pay all debts. Those who know their debt to God is great. Are filled with greater love toward the Savior. Simon showed he had little need for the Christ. But to the woman. Jesus said, "You sins are forgiven." "Go and sin no more." She stood free and esteemed Precious are those who come humbly to the Lord He will forgive and welcome them to His Family forever. Humility. Pride. Contrast. Mixed in all of us. People who come to God feeling worthless, Christ lifts up. People striding in proudly, Jesus humbles to allow entry. For the Lord's Kingdom's door is incredibly low. So low that we enter only through true confession From the heart to Jesus as Savior who humbled Himself Coming down from glory to earth's mess to make a Way. By humbling Himself on a Cross – Universe's God tortured. Jesus contrast makes ours seem small – so why wait? May we take the humble road to Life, risen Christ made. Joining God's family of forgiven, freed, joyful sinners. New life's contrast with old will grow as we follow Him. By a thankful sinner now saint by Jesus' grace

It's okay to pray; Do so everyday. Believe in what you say, And your life will be changed.
MLK... (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) they shot you down all those years ago but your dream lives on and always will for though much has been gained since you dreamed your dream there is much to fight for and much more to struggle for and much, much more to fight for still so your dream resounds in our hearts and we pledge this to you today for though they shot you down all those years ago on a memphis day we shall overcome this we do believe deep in our hearts that we shall overcome someday...

I wear the crown of hatred misunderstanding and despair upon my hair upon my back a wooden cross I bare I know not why I'm hated so all the people seemed to love me just a week ago my skin is cut from head to toe from whips of leather by men who wish to see me die I spoke the truth for all the people to understand my words of truth where words to set man free from degradation hate and hell to live in harmony for the rest of history I cured the sick and healed the blind with the touch of my own hand I've walked on water and walked on sand to preach and bring my truth through out the land people came from all around and would sit for hours upon the ground I once had twelve good men who followed me around now there's only eleven one man let me down my words have been mistaken my God he has forsaken for that my life they're taken I believe that I have failed as my hands and feet are nailed upon this wooden cross as they raise me in the air all their sins I know I must bare I want to scream not fair not fair I'm just a young man I only wanted to teach there are so many more people that I wanted to reach my age is only thirty three I pray my God that they the people will remember me written by Dennis H. Davis This poem was written from the human aspect of Jesus Christ. I wrote this poem with no effort what so ever it was as though it was being told to me. I watched my hand move across the page with a purpose a message I believe Jesus wanted this poem written.
There's Something Special About YOU! There's something that's special about you! There's a God who created and designed you! You were created and wonderfully made! A price for your soul, through Christ, was paid! God fashioned and made you by his design! He gave you a heart, with his love in mind! Don't let anyone get you discouraged or down! You can see God's creation… All around! His endless peace and love, is what he's giving! Won't you come, with a heart of thanksgiving? You're special to God! Don't let others fool you! God is your best friend! And really loves you! All praise to God for the wonderful life he chooses! Whoever puts their trust in him… Never loses! I thank you my Lord! You're very special to me! You've opened my blind eyes! That I may see! I bless and bring glory to your precious name! You've come into my life! It's forever changed! This wonderful God can be your lord today! Won't you listen to the words he has to say? "Whosoever will, come and receive my salvation." Because you're special… God gives the invitation! By Jim Pemberton 11/11/13
Holy is the lamb! So pure, so white, So gentle and mild; Unblemished, spotless Oozing with heavenly blessedness! You showed me servanthood When you listened to your mission When you followed God's plan When you entered death on the cross Paid your blood for my salvation! You taught me perfect humility For you did not wear your crown Nor wear a purple gown Nor live in a palace And live for life status. You are the heavenly lamb, You are enthroned in God's right hand, You are victorious like a lion, You are robed in divine triumph, Always fighting evil for me! Holy Lamb of God! Take away my vanity, My inordinate affections, My false sense of sufficiency Daily grant me your heavenly protection! 10.2.14
~Only The Best~ (Trine) So many things are just a myth But I've learned to live by faith. I dont really care what the world says Because God can see me through anyway. In Jesus my whole life I invest With Him I can pass every single test. I've chosen to put in God my trust and faith So every day to Him I will always pray I just know that He wants for me and you only the best.

I tried so hard to do what's right I wrestled through those lonely nights I longed so long To see the light But I could not see it 'Til I gave up the fight All my problems all my fears All my issues and my tears My brokenness my sorrow The worries of tomorrow I gave them away Turned a new page Lived a new way What can I say? There is a better life, a fuller life A masterful maker, a caring creator With love, a perfect love He's more than enough With him we are unstoppable We accomplish the improbable Prison cannot hold us Sin cannot bind us Walls will be broken Words will be spoken When evil meets us that's fine Into the darkness we will shine With confidence we press onward With faith we move forward We look to a better future In our salvation we are sure
He came to live the Father's will, To show us all The Way. He came to give great promises If only we obey. So live for Him and grow in Him, Know His word: The Truth. Now dwell with Him, abide in Him And let Him reign in You. Loves greatest gift: He bore our sins That we might have The Life. He took our yoke upon Himself And made our burdens light. John 14:6, John 3:15, 2 Peter 1:4, Matthew 11:30
It was early on the day of his crucifixion and they drug him from his cell. Disoriented from dehydration. Disoriented from the pain. Eyes swollen shut and his feet bruised. The flesh on his backside ripped from his captor's wicked devices. What would it take to make him cave in? What would it take to break his spirit? He continued to carry the burdens of the world with him. He knew his purpose in this suffering. His heart beat with the burdens of the world. He knew only he could deliver them for it was he who created them. To be crucified by the very children you created was his lot. Murdered in cold blood and hung naked on the cross. Hung in shame. Naked in front of his own mother and brother John. How cruel could his own creation be towards him? How much lower could they stoop to reign in the era of the Holy Ghost? This is our Messiah. This is the Christ. You don't know suffering til you know THE COST that HE PAID FOR YOUR SALVATION. THIS IS THE PUREST FORM OF LOVE. THIS IS OUR CHRIST. A BITTER GALL. Written by Gwendolen Rix 10-14-14 (Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed).
~How Can I Not Love You?~ (Free Verse) Even before I met you the way I do now I always knew about You, perhaps not in the sense and the right way that I am so lucky to do up to this day. But I always felt your presence and knew of your existence. And I know that for sure I already loved You all those years even before I met You all the way that I was supposed to do. How can I not love You, and want to know more about You and all that You are and mean to me; after all that You've done not just for me but for everyone else that I know personally and that I may not know in my life. You've made me the person that I am today; You've molded me into a better human being, and that's for sure, I know that I'm a better creature now, than I ever been in the past. Since I met You personally and accepted you into my heart. Since I confessed each and all of my sins to You, with all my heart and soul, I feel for sure a lot better, I am kind of relieved. Oh my Beloved, sweet Jesus, I do love You so,very much, and I do thank You for all that You've inspired me to be, to write to paint and to do all thru my life. You're the biggest inspiration ever of all, and You always will be. You make me so strong by giving me hope each single day. With You I am not completely alone ever in my life, no matter what I go thru or what I may feel at times. My life would be so very empty and dark just without You. How can I not love You, when you keep all of my darkness away You fill my emptiness and refresh my soul and spirit all the way when I get tired and thirsty thru all my long walks thru this dark world. I am so happy that I met You at last when I did You'd brought me so much love and comfort and goodness in all, and You forgave all my sins and always You do and will, and in spite of all You still do and I am reassurance that You always will no matter what ugly sins and transgresions I commit against You or anyone in this whole wide world. You take all my bitterness away, You complete all the puzzles of my very existence and life. I just believe in You 100% percent and much more in my heart. How can I not love you? When You help me in all that I am and I do, if You've created and made me the much wholesome person that I am today. I just want to be more like You, and grow better each day. Since I was introduced in my life to You and your sweet loving ways, I've accepted you,You're my Lord, my King and my Savior. And I've gotten to know you in my heart so well, all thru these very long years of much ups and downs. You dried all my tears away and gave me hope, where none sometimes was to be by me found, but only in You. You hear all my prayers when I come to You. I know that You will respond to them if that fits in your plans. I do know that You know everything better, and that You will do what's is right. You've loved me when I've felt no love coming from anyone around some times. How can I not love you? if You're the One who died for me and had offered and given me forgiveness and glorious eternal life, You give peace and rest to my soul and my whole life. You take all my pain away thousand of times over all the years. You put on a smile on my face all the time. You've given me so much beauty to see and enjoy in so many things. You've given me all the people that I love and hold so dear to my heart. Your love is unconditional and eternal, and You love me more and better than anyone ever can. How can I not love You? when You're already part of my whole life and existence, You just complete me! in every each way, because without You I wouldn't be here and be who I know I can and You want me to be. Because of you I can love and better and feel the way that I do. I have a heart more full of love and compassion and forgiveness all because of You, my very beautiful and sweet Jesus. How can I not love you and worship you the way that I do when I think of love and life and all starts with just You, Thank you so much, for giving me all that you've given me, I am so grateful to You, my Sweet Almighty Father in Heaven. How can I not love you? If your very name signifies love, hope and life in all that I see and know. You're with me now every single step that I take, You hold my hand and help me rise every day. You love me so much and loves us all, With You I have an eternal home one day in Heaven and that for sure I do know. How can I not love You my sweet Lord then?

Lord, I Stumbled and Fell! Lord, I have stumbled and fallen once again! By hanging on to a stubborn sin! I once thought, "My life will never get off track," Until that one day after I committed such a sinful act. "No one's watching me" was what I thought, I didn't now the pain and suffering, into my family, that I brought! That moment of "pleasure," I hoped would go away, But sin stares me in the face, every day! Pride crept into my once cheerful heart, It's now eating at me! Tearing me apart! I once thought I was "too good," to commit a sin like this! Many of God's blessings, I now will miss. To you Jesus… My whole heart, I ask you to cleanse. It's in YOU! That my life depends. Create in me a clean heart! Renew a right spirit within me! Your forgiveness in my life, is what others must see. The most important thing, to God that I can give… Is a broken and contrite heart, each day I live! By Jim Pemberton rev. 04/13/13
An Adulterous Situation I knew of a couple, involved in an adulterous situation. A person involved, claimed that he was a Christian! He told others that he wanted to tell her about the Lord… But this involvement in sin, he couldn't well "afford!" A "casual" encounter led to the marriage's destruction. Her husband was so hurt, he could hardly "function." How could this man think there's "nothing wrong with it." "It must be fine." He thought. "everyone's doing it!" Jesus has come, that we might have freedom from within! Going to church, doesn't give us a "license to sin!" God gave us marriage, as a holy and divine covenant! He gave us his word, so that our lives can be abundant! May this be a stern warning to one and all! That which may look attractive, will cause us to fall! If there's something more from marriage that you desire… Be careful! Your deep passions will burn like a fire! May I encourage you to pray and seek the Lord above! And ask him to build your marriage on his love! Only he can restore everything the enemy has taken! He'll be with you, when you may feel totally forsaken! Adultery is like a cancer cell… That will eventually destroy! It'll rob you of the many blessings, that God wants you to enjoy! What God has joined as one... May there be no separation! But a heart of unselfishness, and a renewed dedication! By Jim Pemberton
Long ago there was a girl; She was my age; We danced and played. Many years hence over bridges We went together hand-in-hand; We danced and played. Close and tight we spent our Days loving each other Wishing our love would stay; We danced and played. In the sight of God, we vowed And prayed for Him to bless us On our way; We danced and played. My every joy in her I found, Her beauty deep within me bound; We danced and played. As days grew older, And her hair grew gray, We spent our last hour together to pray. Across the bridge she said she'll wait Till in her arms we shall be Together for all eternity. Johann Myles "Romantic"
Love who you are; You are a shooting star. Shining high above the sky, Your heart reaches out so far!
Lord I'm attached to this man. I dont talk to nobody about this. You the only one who understand. He is a really nice guy. We seem to have a lot in common. I really really care for him. I could even say I love him. I want him. I dont want him. He cares for me but dont want me. I don't want him to want me or care for me. Weird. It's a lot of confusion on my end. Sometimes I get frustrated and go anti socail on men. Even though it has nothing to do with men but really has every thing to do with me. I feel selfish because I dont want him with nobody else BUT I dont want him with me either. I feel crazy,Maybe I am I fear that he may be a blessing that I will miss out on. Right person at the wrong time It seems like he has my heart and we JUST friends. He dont know this. I dont want him to know this. Nobody knows this but you Lord. Nobody!! Just One night,strong connection with him Lord please unattach me from this man. I think about him all the time. I'm just divorced,2 kids from the last guy, want him not ready for him. Its like want I him now vs not ready to be with ANYONE anytime soon. It was just one night with him!!!Dam I hate him! Lord help me. Please give me strenth in the name of Jesus. Thanks for listening lord. I know you hear me. I love you. (I just ask him to go to the movies today,what the hell was I thinking? I need to stay way from him. I like him too much. Pray for me)
Father, Do not let me be the demon I have created me to be. I am the product of myself and my negativity. I trust You. I love You. I thank You. In Your name, We pray, Amen.
Divorce Isn't Always A Good Choice! I met a person who's been married for many years. When he talked to me, he was in tears! He was faced with the option of divorce! And now, he feels his life is driven "off course." His wife said she's through. She's "all done." And doing things which seemed "fun." Beyond each day and the circumstance… Does this marriage even "have a chance?" Why do people seem happier when they're apart? Far too often, this ends up in a broken heart! Too often, people "give up" on what they believe! But it's so many lies, is what they receive! I spoke to this person, of God's purpose and meaning! Into God's loving arms, is where he needs to be leaning! When life changes, and marriage seems to have failed you… Jesus is here! And wants to put his arms around you! There's hope and answers to all of your problems! You'll find the answer in God's word! HE can solve them! The best choice for you is to come and trust HIM! Give Jesus your life! Come now and love HIM! All he needs is for you to give him an invitation! He'll change you! And make you a new creation! His love can do what no other power can ever do! He'll bring new meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton
Has the Glory of God Left the Church? Before the next church service gets started… Should it read, on the door; "God's glory has departed? " Many come to worship and don't even know. That's God's glory left such a long time ago. Many build their Sunday experience on "past traditions." Built on man-made rules and "false expectations." They don't want to hear the gospel of holiness! "It may offend." Their pastor no long preaches on what the Bible says is sin. Some have been going to church for many years. Still looking for teachers with "itching ears." Is the true presence of God is no longer there? It's no longer found in their worship or prayer. God's judgment shall begin at this very place. It hasn't happened yet, because of his unfailing grace. If God's presence has been left from your life as well, Remember his love for you will, never fail. Seek his awesome presence each day you live! He gave his son for you! What more could he give? Won't you see his glory this very hour? And be renewed by his word and life-changing power! By Jim Pemberton

Just when it seemed I was on a slippery slope! Thank you Jesus! For forgiving my every sin! I humbly come before you! My lord and friend! I love you Jesus! You've blessed me today! Whatever I'm going through… You'll make a way! I worship you Jesus! And I bless your name! I'm so glad you're here! I'm glad you came! By Jim Pemberton
As I look back upon another year gone by, I can't help but remember the moments that changed my life: The people, the faith that fueled this fire; If I had to describe this year in one word: Inspired!

We don't need to go out and party, We don't need to drink, We don't need to socialize, We don't need to go shopping, We don't need to spend money, We don't need to go to a movie, We don't need to watch sporting events, We don't need to go out to eat, Because we found love, And our love is enough.
My Sons Are Special to Me! Listen my sons! It's plain to see! You're special to God! And special to me! When God gave me a son! He gave me his best! I'll say that I LOVE YOU! And will never rest!

Enraptured. Captured! This feeble heart can take no more, yet it thirsts for love that shakes the core! Your power throws me to the floor. I remember how I felt when you walked through my door- your love so deep, I might die if I take anymore. But that'd be okay, because i'd be with the one whom I adore.
Far off in a distant galaxy is a comet. It's tail can be seen for eons and eons. It spews a power like none other across the night sky. It is the same comet that the Lord shared with me two years ago would be a true sign of his coming. He said, "Child, when you see this star; when you see this star dart across the night sky know that I am near. Know that just like the star of Bethlehem, it has the greatest meaning. It is unlike any other sign of the rapture of my holy ones--it is THE SIGN!" You see there is a spirit in this mighty comet. A spirit of love and rejoicing. A spirit of reconciliation and a spirit of the "chosen." These chosen ones that are infilled with the Holy Spirit are about to exit this universe and travel to the heavens. Once this gathering occurs in the sky they will be ushered away like a million warm orbs of light. This is the rapture of the church of Jesus Christ. I write about it here in order that all may know what happened to the millions of babies, young children, and the least of these in the days ahead. These are those who will go up in the rapture in the first wave. These are those that have the heart of their Savior because of their innocence, or in the case of the least of these, the fullest oppression from the enemy, Satan himself. Comet Lovejoy is "The Imminent Sign." I promise you this! Look for its spectacular path across the night sky and hold your heads up high oh Bride of Jesus Christ! Now it doesn't mean that upon the day the comet is seen the rapture will occur. It means that it is the final siren, the alarm, to get your spiritual houses in order. Believe in the spirit of LOVE. Believe in the One who sent his Son Jesus Christ to the earth to die a cruel death on a Cross to set all humanity free from the oppression of the enemy. Believe on the name of Jesus Christ and you will be saved!
Still In Love With My Wife... My son came to me with a question on his mind. I said; "Not now son— I just don't have the time." He said, "Daddy—are you still in love with Mommy?" "Do you love her like you did when I was in her tummy?" My eyes choked with tears; "Yes son I really do!" "I'm in love with her... and I appreciate you." "Daddy—will you always love me like you do mom?" "Yes my son—my love for you will always belong." I looked down and much to my surprise. There were tears running down my son's eyes. He came running to me with arms wide open. "Thank you daddy" were his words spoken. I picked him up and gave him a great big hug. As I let him down, on my shirt I felt a tug. His little arm reached up to grab my hand. I knew that what I said, he began to understand. I love his mom so much—my wonderful wife. She's been such a blessing- a great part of my life!

"I don't know where to go, And I don't know what to do." Turn all your worries out to God; Trust Him, And He will lead you through.
I'm going to tell God how much I love him! I'm happy to be able to tell him! I'm going to stop and pray… There's so many things I want to say! I know that God will help me! He's my friend! And is always with me! I'm going to read his word too! It gives me direction, as to what I should do! Please God… Reach down and touch me! And put your loving arms, all around me! God gave me salvation! I sure needed it! All that I need… He's already completed it! By Jim Pemberton
There's No Greater Love Than This… There's no greater love, than to lay down your life for your brother… God's commandment reminds us to love one another! God gave us this challenge as a principle set before us. But too many times, we let things "come in between us." I can think of many situations that arise from the past. Can often cause heartaches, that continue to last. Is it really worth it? To allow hard feelings within? That cause hard feelings between your brother and friend? It's about time we try to apply God's word. And focus on God's forgiveness, that must be heard! The greatest love ever given, was Christ' death on the cross. He laid down his life for us… Whatever it cost! Let's come together and focus on what Christ gave us! No matter what we've done, he already forgave us! An example of God's love through us, must be evident. A Godly compassion in each of us must take residence! Please come Lord Jesus, and stir a compassion in our soul! And walk in your love that will make us whole! There's no greater opportunity, than the example Christ has given! May we walk as his example of love, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
This morning, I walked outside To take some pictures of this glorious day. The sun's beauty is so strong, As is the life all around here below. The sights were one of wonder; The best of God's creation, And I tried my best to take it all in, Grabbing hold of love for us. The temperature outside was chilly; Had to have been in single digits. It wasn't too long after My fingers began to lose their movement, Telling me it was time to go back to the heat inside. I made a hot cup of coffee, Stirred in the creamer, And landed again right in my bed. I covered myself in blankets- Thick, thick blankets- And the "warm-up" had begun. And then my mind switched gears. I began to think about those who don't have this luxury. Millions don't have blankets. Millions don't have heat. Millions don't have warm drinks. Millions have nowhere to turn. There are people right now on the streets Who might not make it another night. There are people right now on the streets Who just lost another body part to frostbite. There are people right now on the streets Who are on their last leg And desperately in need. They are crying out for help, And we tell ourselves we don't hear anything. You never know about their situations. Maybe they didn't do anything wrong. Maybe it's just the luck of the draw As the cards of life weren't dealt their way. These images and realities Are visions we tend to forget Or push out of our minds, As if we never saw anything to begin with. We tend to view them as "lesser society," But they are still human beings, And who gave us the power to judge? The authority lies only in God's hands. He tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves, Yet, why do we try to forget this? And each and every single day, Including today, Millions are facing and dying of hunger, Millions are facing and dying of starvation, Millions are facing and dying of homelessness, Millions are facing and dying of disease, But these will never make the news Because we shelter ourselves from the things we don't want to hear, We protect ourselves from the things we don't want to see, Or we just don't care anymore. What happened to the love? Is it still here? (Continued on The Cards of Life: Part Two)
Jesus… Your name brings sweetness on my tongue! My soul soaks in your love… Like a dry sponge! My soul continues to hunger and thirst! Until I let you reign in my life! Always first! I give my life to you! On my knees I yield! YOU are my rock, fortress and shield! You're my protection! A sure foundation! For only in you is there TRUE salvation! By Jim Pemberton
you were there and so was i you in youre world and me in mine yet somehow we werent there at all and our worlds were just to small together we would unite leaving our old worlds behind creating a new worlds together one that we would share forever and ever now here we are as we have and always will be in a world that we created for only you and me no longer in our own worlds but in our dream world
I Want to Be Where Jesus Is! Where Jesus is, I want to be with him I'll honor HIM because I love him! Into his direction I shall go… His word in my life, I must daily know. What he says to me, I must carefully listen, His will for my life, I don't want to be missin'. His love for me… I want to receive, His abundant life is what I aim to achieve. Thank you Jesus for helping me to see… I need much more of you, and a lot less of me! By Jim Pemberton
I love the earth I walk on, I love the God above, I love the grace He giveth, for the Earth is not enough. I love the friends he gave me, I love to be with them, I love the way He set free their spirit souls to Him. For souls he freely giveth, as summers seed sown, watered by grace and love, soon a tree be grown. Nested deep as knowledge eternal, toeing down for life, finding but food and water, in a weak and faithless strife. Stretching up to heaven with branches pleadingly open, competing against its brethren, green glistening hands a-hoping.
God Wants You To Be With Him forever! Heaven can one day be your eternal home! You can have a mansion next to God's throne? You can know for a certainty… Where you'll be spending eternity. Through Christ, your sins can be forgiven! Christ' love can change the way you're livin'! You can know beyond any doubt. What true life is all about! You can know the peace of God today! Meditate on God's word and what it has to say! Why not give your heart to him? And know what it means to be born again! Your life can have a Godly direction! And accept his heart-felt invitation? You can know God's life changing power? What are you waiting for? This could be YOUR hour! By Jim Pemberton
What Have I Done For Jesus??? I'm trying to remember the things I've dreamed of… There so much I haven't done, that I can think of! I'm trying to remember when I was just a young boy… There were things in life that I really enjoyed! But, as I grow older, and it's all done and said… I feel more aches and pains each time I get out of bed! This old body of mine is growing very weary and old. I don't have a lot of time, as I have been told! There's one area in life, where I've fallen short of a goal… I haven't given God a chance to redeem my soul! I suppose I've been too prideful and stubborn at best… I need to give God my life, and let him take care of the rest! Dear Jesus, I come to you now and confess my sinful ways! I accept you as my Lord and savior, for the rest of my days! Please come lord Jesus, and bring your healing deep within! Cleanse and change me, and take away all of my sin! You're what I need! And are truly my best friend! How I love and appreciate you! Again and again! By Jim Pemberton 09/29/13
Do you think of yourself…, But not others? Do you take the time for your sisters and brothers? The way that you live, people may wonder. Is there a tendency to, put some "down under?" You don't know everyone's problems…. Don't act as if you do. Only God knows their hearts... Not you! Jesus loves everyone A LOT! Pray for others and think Godly thoughts! Didn't the same Jesus die both for you and me? Will those you meet, have a home in eternity? Don't give up on people…. We all deserve a chance! We should love one another... beyond any "circumstance." How will you treat others…, When all seems lost? Christ left the 99 sheep to find the one which was lost. Often, the "unlovable people" need love and attention... If being a Christ follower, is truly your intention... By Jim Pemberton
We're here to love all God's people No matter who they are. Brightness still shines in shallow roots, Even if the world thinks they've fallen too far.
So what's so wrong of emulating him? For you are so against saying His name and/or acknowledging what He has done! What's so wrong of wanting to emulating Him.. He left several examples to follow for us humans to live life in a peaceful way. To Love each other To forgive one another To not steal To not kill To advise us a soft answer turns away wrath and a harsh answer stirs up anger To not worship anything other than Him.. For ALL things He created. So what is so wrong of emulating Him and acknowledging there is NO OTHER like Him... Are you so hung up on if he was Black/White if he was Jew or Gentile, if His hair was long or short Did he really turn water into wine... Look at the bigger picture and realize there isn't another God/Jesus that is like Him... For God created Jesus out of His spirit to save us ...... Think about it why are you so against Him if you say His name causes wars, deaths, etc tell me if you read the Holy Bible and see His main intentions is to love one another and trust in Him before it's too late..

What's the theme this week? Songs of faith, hope, love; Jesus Christ? ---Sunday Organist---
I can feel Your presence; I can feel You in all that I do. I can feel You walking with me, And I don't know what to do. I just need to trust You Because this is a journey I cannot see. I am giving up; Thank You for taking the lead.
Locked inside my breaking heart is my dearest, most bitter desire. A longing for your comforting arms, your fingers entwined in my hair. Those eyes of yours, my sorrow; forever never gazing my way. Please, I cannot bare the pain! I stand surrounded by two valleys, either choice simply the wrong one. "I love you", my mocking secret, teeth bared to tear my soul. Better to forge a third choice, to flee from your soft voice. Remember me as I was before, long after I have fled you, the source of my sleepless nights.
God speaks peace to life's stormy seas! He brings quietness and a "gentle breeze." He calms the raging waters and says; "peace be still!" This is what he wants for you! And his will! He brings victory to the battles within… And takes away the darkest of sins! He's what you need! This very hour! He wants to do this for you! He has the power! He's our refuge! A present help in trouble! Though the oceans shake and mountains rumble! Why not steer into God's harbor of safety during this time? You'll find he is loving, caring and kind! He's is calling you now! And knocks at your door! What In the world… Are you waiting for??? By Jim Pemberton
I met a charming girl during church Sunday-- She was the kind of girl that I'd like to stay. Being a gentleman, I did nothing amiss I didn't think life could get any better than this. Offered to see her home, it was on my way. She gave me a pretty smile and she said okay. Walking and talking with her, I think I found my bliss. I didn't think life could get any better than this. (Chorus) She invited me to stick around a while. How could I say no to such a pretty smile. Minutes turned to hours, days to months and years; Dates to going steady, then wedding toasts and cheers. We showed off our baby girl at the church Sunday. The pastor said the words to help her on her way. Holding my two girls real close, I'm sure I found by bliss; And I still don't think that life gets any better than this.
Jesus Christ Went Above And Beyond! Jesus Christ went above and beyond! He forgave all of my sins and wrongs! He loved me! When nothing else mattered! He picked me up, when my life was chattered! He gave me his life, when no one else could! All of my sins and failures, he understood! He's blessed me, with his love and assurance! And gave me salvation! His eternal "life insurance!" He's given me strength, and all I needed! With all that he's given, my life is completed! He rescued me from the awful pit of sin. And brought hope to my life, once again! He's given me a love, that I never had! I gave him my life! I am so glad! To Jesus… I'm forever thankful and grateful! He's my guiding light, and an awesome example! His word helps me to have victory today! And guides me, along life's narrow way! This same Jesus can do the same for you! The opportunity is here! What will you do? Friendship with Jesus! HE brings life divine! I'm so blessed, that he's a friend of MINE! By Jim Pemberton
I cast my spirit to the heavens tonight Praying that someone special will see my light He'll hear my name and whispers of white, calling on him and his Holy might His Trinity will tell him I'm the one and lay before him a path of light He'll forge ahead throughout the night, slashing fears in a sword-less fight He'll find me waiting in truth's delight He'll hold me close and love me tight and God will say "My two, the time is right, to have and to hold on this very night"
I think I was an astronaut Aimed for the stars. They fill me up; They refuel my tank. They enable me to believe, Telling me to never give up As they follow me all of my days. If only we could see the beauty That they truly are. They shout out dreams That we can reach so far. Climb into the rocket And liftoff! On a journey to discover ourselves, We are taught so much more, Learning our goals are only a plan away. Even thought we must return, I know that I will be back. I am an astronaut, And we always reach for the stars.
Jesus, I Can't Turn A Blind Eye Any Longer! I can't turn a "blind eye" any longer! As many souls have "strayed off" and wandered! I can't "pretend," that life's problems will disappear! The "sin problem," is quite evident and clear! I can't "make believe," this will be a better place… I see heartache and despair on people's face! I can't just "sit back" and not do anything anymore! I ask myself, "what's my purpose in life really for? I'm going to pray that God will make it more revealing… We all need to know our purpose and meaning! I'm going to ask God to help me make a difference today! And proclaim that Jesus is the truth, the life, the only way! I'm going to shout and proclaim Jesus! The true king! He's the lord, master and maker of everything! I'm going to pray that those who are blind, will now see… This same Jesus who loves us, and gives life abundantly! I'm not going to be ashamed, to praise the lord greatly! It's about time, that I lift up his name…. Lately! I'm going to ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse my mind… And help me to do my part in reaching mankind I'm going to invite you, to make a commitment to HIM! This same Jesus… Who can change us within! Please Lord Jesus… Have your way in me… All throughout! Loving and trusting you… Is what life is about! By Jim Pemberton
Since eternity past God the Father Son & Holy Spirit dwelled in unity and sweet fellowship. Then Three-In-One decided to make a marvelous universe with an earth for life to dwell. Creating an amazing array of creatures was the easy part – the risk was on the last made. For unlike other creatures, man & woman were made in God's likeness with a Spirit. That Spirit communicated with God, and harmony reigned as earth was well cared for. Freedom to do was great – limited by but one tree that the humans were not to ear from. At that tree, Satan disguised himself as an innocent snake and asked the woman questions. Did God really say don't eat from this tree? Well, that's to keep you from becoming like Him. Look its fruit is beautiful and one bite and you'll know what God does and be Jehovah's equal. Eve was confused, for this didn't sound like what Adam said God told her, but wouldn't it be grand. If God is so good, why would he keep this secret from us of being able to be like Him – is He jealous? The firm, juicy fruit was indeed delicious, and she quickly called Adam to taste, which soon he did. A small act? Every war, family problem, anger, hatred, lie, killing, stealing, rape, abuse came herefrom. The beauty of God's creation was now marred with sin that affected every part with death and decay. God graciously gave Adam & Eve animal skins for no longer would they live in Eden's perfect climate. From now on there would be sweat for the food they ate and exceedingly great pain during childbirth. Even their firstborn would murder their second, starting the cycle of revenge and killing that's ongoing. Yet God also made a promise that one would come who would crush Satan's head while being bruised. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God" clues us in to who. For God's Son Himself would come to teach, heal and offer His life on a Cross to destroy our death curse. Our sins He would bear and in rising He's seal the promise of eternal life, so great we Jesus' love for us. For Jesus the cost was unbelievably high, and for us the reward is incredibly great – if we but accept. Accept that I am a sinner, I've done wrong and need God's forgiveness to live with His perfection. Accept that Jesus can do what I cannot – change my heart, make my Spirit alive to forever live with God. This being GOD, the promise of heaven and new earth is sure, though pain lies in between. Choose now. For GOD and all creation cry out – this is what life is meant for – to know and love One's Maker. As humans we live eternally with or apart from God, and His great desire is that we choose with. But just as an earthly Father cannot force true love, nor does our Heavenly Father – He waits. Though He made all and knows beginning from end, he waits and yearns that we receive His love. Then love and be loved by Jesus in life's harshness & delight, sharing that love with other lost children To work in harmony with the One who made us, makes life new again as our spirit is filled with new life. There can be dry days when we don't feel His presence, and others so full that we want to shout for joy. The fact is Our Father GOD, our Savior Jesus, the Holy Spirit, are always with us and never will leave us. Amen.
Never in a million years would i have thought this to be, my bestfriend, companion, and so special to me. if i wouldnt have opened my eyes, she could have just passed by and walked right outta my life. but in Gods weird since of loving humor way, today he brought Brittany Back to stay, a life from my past that i had lost, never knowing what would be Gods cost. Now i sit hear always waiting to see, her simple smile brighten up for me. The friendship, hugs, smiles and the tug at my heart, now i know it was just the start. I may not always be the best, but yet she still chooses me above all the rest. all i ask is please let this be I love you Brittany, and God please bring her home to Me... By:Devin Frost
Here I am Jesus! Please use me! I know that you'll never refuse me! I ask you to fill me with your compassion… Even if this seems "old fashioned!" This world is lost and dying without you! There's so many that really need you! May I be an instrument in reaching out… This is what being your child is all about! You are the potter... I am the clay. Please give me the words to say! Touching others, I know is your will! May I listen to your spirit, and be still. Teach me to be your light, as I go along. In your arms of strength, I do belong! May others be stirred from God above… Help me to be an example of your love! To be used by God is an honor and joy... HE gives eternal life for all to enjoy! By Jim Pemberton
Christ can give true love, for your pain! He has so much to give, in exchange! He can give a life that's eternal and secure! His love for you is everlasting! That's for sure! He offers much more than this world can give! And will bless you, each day that you live! He can bring true happiness and much more! He truly is someone worth living for! Won't you accept his love and acceptance? And come before him in true repentance? He can take a life that's been "worn out." And do a total cleansing all throughout! He's the alpha and omega! The beginning and the end! And will be here to help! When you need a friend! Won't you give him a chance today? And allow him to take all pain and sin away? By Jim Pemberton
Is Your Foundation of Life Being Destroyed? Very seldom do I hear any complaints. Regarding the lacking of moral restraints. It seems like many are under some kind of a "spell." What's right or wrong? Many can't even tell! Where are the moral leaders this nation needs? As the heart of this nation continually bleeds. Many churches provide very little discretion. Pretending to be Godly… Yet little Biblical direction! No wonder many people don't know what to believe. A lifestyle of lying, drugs and sex is what they achieve. In their lives, they have no "moral boundary." Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry." To those of you who want satisfaction and victory too... There is a "moral compass" that's freely offered to you! " God's word is a solid foundation! Which speaks of HIS love and his gift of salvation! If your life is filled with hurt, and has no true meaning. It's in the direction of Jesus you need to be leaning! You don't have to live in despair and defeat! Jesus' grace and love can make you complete! By Jim Pemberton
You'll Find True Enjoyment In Jesus! Are you looking for something to give "fulfillment?" Have you tried many types of "enjoyment?" Perhaps you've tried to do something "cool?" Even if it meant, "bending the rules?" But you don't have the satisfaction you crave? No matter how much of yourself, you gave? The fulfillment you want. You won't find it No matter how many times, you've tried it! Only Jesus can bring the answers you seek! He can bring true love, each day of the week! He alone can bring faithfulness and commitment! And bring to your soul, an eternal enrichment! Won't you give him your life? And allow him to lead? Only he knows and can meet your every need! Jesus is the answer to everything! And much more! He truly is what life is about, and was meant for! He is and shall always be your very best friend! And will be there for you! Till the very end! By Jim Pemberton
It's like I'm there, Standing behind a glass wall. I've had a taste, Just not the full platter. I'm ready for the cake, But all I have is batter.
As the winter slows down and the wind is not heavy Your love holds me in the palm of your hands. You shelter me from the storms and you keep me warm in the palm of your hands. When life takes my last breath, you hold me in the palm of your hands. Your love flows from rivers slow you hold me in the palm of your hands. You took my sin and let me live in the palm of your hands. Life can hurt and twist us all over the roads of life but you untwist the pain inside, you hold me in the palm of your hands. My life is still not right, so many days of inside fright, but one thing I know, you hold me in the palm of your hands. Take me into your heart so true, help me not to be so blue, Jesus,please hold me in the palm of your hands. Written by:©Betty Bolden
If they ask me how I did it, How I got here today, I will love and laugh and smile And say, "It took a lot of faith."
God is merciful, with love and kindness! He brings his majesty, in wholesome brightness! He is powerful and his holiness he brings! He is omnipotent and rules over everything! All praise and glory through Jesus his son! He's brought victory over sin! The battle is won! Let's give him our hearts and make it clear… The return of our Lord draws ever so near! Without God here to help us, what would we do? His promises are his assurance, and always true! Thank you God for the life I've received! You've given me hope and a reason to believe! By Jim Pemberton 06/27/13 How I Love God! God… You never fail! I will trust you! With my lips, I shall praise you! Though others leave and forsake me… I know that God is here… And is with me! If my life comes to a "grinding halt…" Joy and peace inside of me… God has brought! When others criticize me for honoring God's name… I know that one day, HE will put them all to shame! God is all I'll ever need, and much more! It is HIM that I praise, worship and adore! I offer to God a heart of thanksgiving! For everything he's done… And the love he's giving! God meets my every need! The all sufficient one! All praise and glory through Jesus Christ… His son! By Jim Pemberton

What if we all Just stopped where we are And sent a smile to the one next door? What if we all Just stopped where we are And reached out to those who've done us wrong? What if we all Extended a serving hand To the grieving, homeless, hungry, and downtrodden? What if we all Just stopped where we are, Joining hands, Offering thanks, Forgiving, Laughing, Hugging, Loving, And embracing; Smiling as our futures shined Because God has blessed us this life!
If only words could express The depths of God's love In sending His Son From Heaven above How He came to give life & set sinners free Then died to take death & let the blind see. If only words could express The price that He paid For those who have failed Him & often betrayed How He rescues the fallen & requires no return For salvation we each are Unable to earn. If only words could express The riches in Christ The freedom, redemption & limitless life This is Neither for hope Nor a Goal to achieve Not deserved or rewarded ...A Gift to receive.
Dancing near the fire of the candles burning She finds the eyes of the Lord looking in her Angels all surround the heavenly glowing Where the lamb and the champion as one confer They all sing and bless her soul within her heart Wishing that she will never go and depart Heaven erupts with joy at her simple glance All the saints lure her to come in the entrance Russell Sivey
God Has A Plan for Me and You! God has a will and a plan for me. It's a "roadmap" for now and eternity! God has a purpose and a desire in mind. It is a "blueprint" for all of time! God has a desire for me to accomplish his goal. Only then will I find contentment for my soul! God has a purpose and it echoes in his voice. Serving him, must be my first choice! God has a very important task at hand. It's spreading his words of hope, all over this land! God has a plan and will for you as well! He loves you more than words can tell! God has sent his son to bring us unto him. He died on the cross, as a sacrifice for our sin! God has sent this message and has made it clear. Whatever you're facing… He is always here! God wants to be with us! May we seek his direction! He's given us his word! It gives hope and correction! Won't you join with me and seeking his will? Everything we ever need… He shall fulfill!

After the storm life seems fresh our Lord took us out of that mess After the storm the sun shines through Our Lord made us brand new After the storm we walk in His light things seem so bright After the storm people know His love has touched us His love is new After the storm we look at the sky We praise Him for all He does He keeps us in line After the storm life is nice He is the one whom gives us advice!

Rising up in the morning saying to me "I love you." Going in and fixing her coffee, saying her prayers too. She sits and smiles just for me. Her quiet time is now waking to the news of the day on TV. After a while about 45 minutes or so, she begins her day. Asking if I want breakfast loving in her actions in every way. She pitters and cleans after the meal. Never ever complaining, oh' the loves she makes me feel. Cleaning the home, cleaning others, as she is a home care provider. Her career she loves, aiding the elderly and the infirm in our small desert area. Loving caring for others she has the light of love for others in her eyes. How she balances home and her job is amazing never saying she's tired, it truly mystifies. The lady has God given strength, is faithful to me and the Lord all the day through. Out of love for others God gives her a light in her eyes all for others and me too. Hopefully my brethren you have the love that I have in your life. I surely have my blessings and have mine, my best friend, my love and my spiritual wife.
What If Joseph Kissed Potiphar's Wife? What would happen if Joseph kissed Potiphar's wife? Just think about the impact this would be on his life! If he'd entered into her temptation and charm… This would've cause much damage and harm! Many of God's blessings, I'm sure he would missed 'em! If he's let Potiphar's wife reach out and kiss him! Thank God that he didn't succumb to her beauty. He held fast and remembered his God given duty! A life serving God was something that he chose! Even if it meant her tearing off a part of his clothes! Godly living was something he decided to choose! Even if it meant him being falsely accused! God used him while he spent time in prison! He trusted God, and knew that he was with him! I'm sure there were things that he didn't understand. But soon, God made him the #2 ruler in the land! May this be a stern warning to me and to all! Think about what temptation may cause you to fall! Scripture says "resist the devil and he will flee from you!" Run to God! And allow his presence to surround you! This society often encourages to "indulge" in sexual sin! This is where so much heartache and misery begins! Run to the Lord! Seek his spirit to lead and guide you! A way to escape temptation, he'll provide for you! Like Joseph, run from temptation as fast as you can run! And lay everything at the feet of God's precious son! His love will sustain you! Regardless of what you're "missing." So you too can receive HIS love and Godly blessings! By Jim Pemberton
" Because I Love You " Don't hold your breath too long for everything you said was wrong, insulting my love for you, keeps playing over and over like a sad song am I nothing more than a tease, dirt from your ribs ? remember Adam, I myself can no longer keep loving you in the third person, Adam, I seek no justice, I know how to walk these gardens alone I never asked for your heart, only your company and friendship every other day fell into place, with love, respect and protection should you banish me, insinuate things like a God ? Why do you mock me, and cut me the way others do ? Adam, your sword is much powerful than mine, I read your chapter, you spoke and said you won't walk through The Gardens of Goliath Adam, does it matter now, your slingshot took me down I did not mean to tarnish us, or make you feel the apple peel my heart is not of evil, why do you crucify me, as if I took a second bite ? I entered a realm, where I knew Adam's Apple would be the best again, you did not speak, nor set rules with boundries, as I did when I revealed the name of the Snake, which comes in two for you I will move on, and be strong, knowing I will long for your touch as I did before we exchanged our first kiss I can never undo the bite, however, I can take down the elegance of my words remove it from the devils dusty path, I wish no harm, nor reminder of what was... By Poet - Eve
I'm so very glad that Jesus lifted me! And am grateful that he also set me free! I'm grateful of the happiness he brought! And know that he loves me, a whole lot! I'm also thankful, for the life that he brings! He understands me! And can do anything! I hope that you'll take some time today. Spending time alone with him, and pray! He rewards those who earnestly seek him! Won't you give him a chance? And receive him? This same Jesus, also wants to help you! Won't you open your heart, and let him touch you? By Jim Pemberton 08/15/13
The Family of the Lord Jesus… I often hear of people who want to join a family! As many are looking for some kind of peace and to be happy. A lot of people are wanting to just "belong…" Yet so many struggle with "what's right or wrong." Many are often confused with lost identities… They often find that life has many adversities. Let me introduce you to a life changing plan! It's real and powerful! It's easy to understand! It's the family of the Lord Jesus Christ! For you and I… HE paid the ultimate sacrifice! This family involves a life that's eternal and secure! For Jesus gives living water… That's 100% pure! His family always has an opened gate! Won't you come now? Before it's too late? Come to him now! There's room for one more! He waits for you! And stands at your heart's door! All of heaven awaits your choice! Won't you accept God's grace? And beckon his voice? Whosoever will, let him come Thru Jesus, to God's throne! And be part of an eternal security and home! This family offers to all an open invitation! To receive TRUE love and hope!

Murder I killed three people yesterday I know exactly when, I used no weapon formed by man I killed them with my sin A mother, daughter and a son Whom I'd sworn to protect, I didn't see their pain filled eyes As they felt the blows connect They never saw it coming As I cruelly took their life, A son, a daughter and their mom I wanted for my wife I loved them all, or so I said At least when I was straight, Yet not enough to stop the dope So I guess you'd call that hate I could have been their hero I might have been a dad, Instead I left a tragic mess That was so much more that sad The mother was my princess And I, her shining prince, It ended with a phone call I've mourned them ever since Sissy was a shining star Whose smile would light a room, Her laughter rang within my ears Now silent as a tomb And little man looked up to me Hoping for my love, Apathy and silence Was my gift to that dove An unsigned letter Full of lies and a smattering of truth, Was all it took to kill them From grown adult to youth Betrayal in the utmost Was all I chose to give, When all I had to do was love For all of them to live I'll regret it always And I'll miss them evermore, As I scream and cry and wonder why I walked right out their door I killed my family yesterday I know precisely when, I used the cruelest weapon known I murdered them with sin
~For This I Have Jesus~ (Jesus tears/The Candleholder of Light) My Best friend He saved my soul Forgive my sins He washes clean pure Give eternal life I trust him All way Thru When I stand alone He's there for me On him count on He never leaves me. He's my lord and king He's everything Have joy in him With him I'm happy. My heart for him sing Helps me better to see He helps me go on When I stand alone In Him count on. In Him count on He's there for me He's in everything In Him I trust my whole life When I stand alone;He's there for me.

Who knows how long the leper lived, Since last he felt a touch? Who knows the depth of suffering And solitude of such? The torment of his body And the exile of his soul! To be cast out and ostracized, Despised with none to hold. While none would dare be near him, One knew how he yearned. While others ran for cover, This One stopped and turned. No one could attend him. This man was all alone. Until the hand of Jesus Was willing to atone. Heaven sent, compassion bound The Shepherd found this sheep Distorted, wounded kneeling down, He raised him to his feet. He closed the open wounds And straightened limbs once curled. Jesus touched the leper with, The touch felt 'round the world.
What Does God See In Me? When God looks down... what does he see? What kind of person would he find in me? Would he find a life "tossed around and confused?" One that's been "worn out and abused?" Does he look at me as "a pebble in the sand?" Would he reach out to me with his hand? "Yes my child... and I'll do much more." "It was for you that my son died for." "I love you and give undivided affention." "To bring you true happiness and Godly direction." "My love for you is never ending." "My desire is to be with you-- I'm not pretending." "I have come that you may have life more abundant." "Don't think of my awesome power as being redundant." "I'll bring true contentment deep within." "And will always be your very best friend." "Listen to me...listen to my voice." "I have called and loved you...by MY choice." "Allow me to write your name in my journal" "llow me to bring you true joy and life eternal." "I forever promise to bring peace to your soul." "And will be with you wherever you go!" By JIm Pemberton
Dear Jesus, Keep Me By Your Side! Dear Lord, keep me by your side! Help me to be humble, and take away my pride! Dear Lord, may it be my ambition and desire, To praise your name! And lift it up higher! Dear Lord, I just want you to know... That I will share your love, wherever I go! Dear Lord, please make clear and evident... The time of your coming is so imminent! Dear Lord, my life to you, is given! You've taken away my sin! And I'm forgiven! Dear Lord, without you, I am hopeless and lost! My life would be nothing without the cross! Dear Lord, I offer to you my life! And I freely give it! I ask for the filling of your Holy Spirit! My Lord I want to give praise and adore you! I humbly come and worship you! My Lord and my God! You reign over everything! You're my savior and friend! And my king! By Jim Pemberton

I Was Told I Wasn't Any Good I heard the devil whisper into my ear… "You're no good!" "Come over here!" In front of me, where discouragements of various kinds... At first, it was almost overwhelming for my mind! He promised something "better," than what I already had! He said that if I did what he wanted… I'd be happy and glad! I asked how Jesus to help the way I'm livin.' The life I've lived… And HIS power of forgivin.'! Would I trade all of this, for a life of stress and sin? Perhaps having a form of happiness, but no freedom within? Was I going to trade what God gave, for a "pleasure of the moment?" Was I about to make a mockery of Christ' atonement? I ran, and bowed my head and cried… For a brief moment, I felt rejected and despised! I felt the Holy Spirit's presence all around me! And then, it was like the love of Jesus had filled me! This time, I knew that what I had, was all I needed! With Christ in my life, I no longer have to be defeated! Satan is a liar! He has one purpose and goal! He wants nothing more, than to destroy my soul! Take notice Satan! This is what I proclaim! Everything I ever need! I have in Jesus' name! The blessings from Jesus, has supplied my every need! It's an everlasting and abundant life, that I received! Thank you Jesus! For giving what I need and more! You are truly wonderful! And are worth living for! By Jim Pemberton
Test me, O Lord, and try me. Examine my heart and mind! I trust you o Lord. You're so loving and kind! Your love is ever before me, I shall walk in your truthful ways! It is my prayer and desire to honor you all of my days! I will not sit with deceitful men, or those hypocritical of your name! You are the God who is powerful! And will bring them all to shame! I shall proclaim aloud of your praise, and tell of your wonderful deeds! For you have given me everything, And supplies all of my needs! I love the house where you live, O Lord, and where your glory dwells! I am thankful for you! And love you more than words can tell! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm Ch. 26
Heaven is a real place, With streets of gold, And pearly gates. A river flows from God's throne, Near it, is the tree of life, There, the sun has never shone, For God's glory fills it with light. I refuse to speak more, Of heaven's great splendor, For its riches most assuredly, Over time will tend to bore me. See my Father is a gardener, Who prunes off fruitless branches, He's also a pardoner, Who gave me many chances. Maybe that will help explain, I'll tell you without shame, Heaven holds only one treasure, For which my heart does pine, That's the gem called Immanuel, The one and only true vine.
Churchian A Christian believes without seeing A Churchian sees without believing For faith brings dreams into being But fear is your death conceiving A Christian does not judge anyone A Churchian gladly defines your sin For God will judge all under the sun None but He will be God then A Christian follows rules out of love A Churchian follows the love to rule For humbly we will serve Him above But if you serve self, you serve a fool A Christian desires purity from above A Churchian desires to be worldly cool For a pure heart can be used for love But love in darkness is a broken tool A Christian repents and is forgiven A Churchian compromises and justifies For repentance, mercy is gently given But sin is sin no matter what disguise How long oh Lord before we can see The differences that separate the two For Lord, I know I can either of these be So, Lord all I want is to be more like you!
As I lay another cedar beam plumb for our home smoke plumes, serpentine and sulfuric, interrupts the sunshine, I look below the ridge, Eve standing silent with weapon in hand, a woman so grand, panic has no nest in her person, fear has no finger on her pulse, I move like lightning to war by my Lady's side, Valley vandels have come, scortching field fruit, searing insidious signs into our peach and apple trees, incarnate, the Devil disheveled with a defunct posse of three approaches me, hailing not from a city of angels but from a ghetto of ghouls, mean and ugly like ignorance injured by the ivory tusks of innocence, a madman desperate for the destruction of Divinity, unskillful and wishful for lies to come alive, he's a scribbler scribe, a dribbler riddler a stereotype simpleton, frontin and gruntin fallin short of the great gangsta idol, just a stereotypical imbecile, a pencil with no lead, burpin chicken feathers claimin them to be the silk quill of Angels, I turn to Eve now with eyes saying now is the moment for demise, briefly, before before I strike steel across the throat of Hell itself our first promise to each other repeats in my memory, " I forever fight for you " as her brown eyes convince me of loyalty, love royal, she rips her blade through his groin as I open a river across the throat of this terrible thug... By Poet - Adam/J.A.B.
How Do I Know That I've Been Blessed? How do I really know that I've been blessed? Throughout life, I've tried to receive the "best!" I've experienced the pleasure of "good things." And have received whatever joy they may bring! But whatever I've tried, even if it's brand new… They don't always give the "pleasure" they promise to do! There's many things, I thought had "blessed" me. But they end up greatly disappointing me! Wherever I go… And the many places I've been... Their "attraction," always come to an end! The true blessings in life are not what I've achieved. Or the great many things that I have received! The real blessings that I have recently discovered… Is asking for the blood of Jesus, to have my life "covered!" His blood can bring a true cleansing deep within… And brings me the joys of being BORN AGAIN! The blessings of God, is what I need to surround me! For I once was utterly lost! But Jesus found me! Glory to God! For the eternal blessings he's given! He's totally changed me! And the way I'm livin'! I know that I am blessed! For Christ lives in me! I'm building up treasures… For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
Samson Of the Bible From the Bible, is the story of Samson. He lived an incredible life that really happened! He was to be a Nazrite, and set apart! His hair was to grow long, from the start! He was to deliver Israel from their enemy throughout! This was what his mission was all about! He destroyed the lion and bear with his bare hands! And sent burning foxes throughout the enemy lands! He destroyed a thousand! With the jawbone of an ass! God had given him such an incredible task! With his strength, came temptation's call! And soon, his whole life took a fall! The strength from God had departed from him! Now, there was no one who could help him! Ridiculed and mocked, he became a slave. He couldn't free himself, no matter what he gave. He was brought before the Philistine's temple. Mocked and whipped to set as an example. He cried out to God, for help that hour… God gave him the strength and the power! The temple came crashing down all around him! Now, there was just rubble that surround him! May this be a lesson, that speaks to me and you! God is not fooled, no matter what we try to do! We can act like we have everything we needed! Without God, our life is never completed! May we not compromise what God has given! And walk in his strength, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus, My Life Is Quite A Mess! Jesus, I come before you! And humbly confess… My life has been a failure, and a mess! No matter how hard I try, or what I do… I'm embarrassed when I call on YOU! You've been there to help, so many times! It just seems like, "I'm running blind!" The past seems to be creeping up again… And causing me grief and pain within! I need you Jesus! Please help me! Please come to where I am, and touch me! I need your love, and your precious spirit! Thanks for being patient! And willing to give it! You are the only one, who can restore me! No matter how many problems lay before me! I come before you! And call on your name… By your blood, my life needs to be changed! Thank you my Lord, for hearing my prayer! Thank you for coming! And just being there! You've given to me hope! My life is renewed! By your love, my life is now brand new! By Jim Pemberton
Do You Blame Or Trust God? Do you blame God for the trials you may face? Do you reject God's mercy and grace? Perhaps you are in a most "difficult situation." You can't figure out a "reasonable explanation?" You may feel abandoned, alone and afraid. There may have been times when you prayed. You don't know why this happening to you? You probably try your best in all that you do! But, it still things really haven't worked out. And you often wonder what life is all about? Rather than blaming God… Why not trust him? He's not your enemy! He wants you to know him! He's not the blame for the sorrows of mankind! He's always faithful, most loving and kind! He patiently waits for anyone to call on his name! With him in control… Things won't be the same! He is here! Even if everyone else fails you! If you give him a chance! He wants to help you! Won't you take the time, and invite him in? This is where a new opportunity can begin! His life for yours, is what he gives in exchange! He can help your situation to really change! He can change your life! And turn it around! And can put your life on a solid ground! By Jim Pemberton
Won't You Trust God? You'll never know God, unless you trust him! Won't you come now and accept him? You'll never know God, if you don't believe him! All of heaven is waiting, for you to receive him! You'll never know of his love, if you turn him away! He has the power to change your life today! You'll never know of his mercy, or grace divine… If you won't acknowledge or give him your time! You'll be missing out, on what true life is all about! He can forgive and cleanse you throughout! You'll be missing out, on what salvation really is! And miss out on the life that God has to give! With God, there needs to be no separation! Through Jesus, you can be a new creation! God was and will always be there, for you and me! And waits for all to be with him, for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
Don't worry, don't worry; Give yourself rest. Release fear and struggles, And He'll take care of the rest.
This Adam's Apple of your molding have given me a deep voice to rejoice our unfolding, a deep love untethered from choice, a necessity of partner's growing, My moral for you is to trust what you do Eve to listen as your moods revolve throughout doubt and devotion, I am the muscle in your might, the ferocity felling your fright, my religion is unhidden for our mortality once forbidden, Eve, you are more than the " Apple of my Eye " you are the chapel wherein I find my will to rebel, my law is to never let you fail, to subdue that which may make you wail, as long as I live your chalice shall brim with intoxicating vim, never forget that you are made from my flesh upright and unruly from the richness of my ribs, as consequence of your yearning you now feel the bleeding, that red bath of a mortal's life, the strife of success, when Father raged I was your defender, your accomplice, I am your sword, and Lord, you are my wisdom, and my Lady, I have accepted the Apple of our awakening and you will consume the seed of our flowering - By Poet - Adam/J.A.B.
If you were never to change God's love would stay the same As in the day He sent His son To bare the sins of this world To be reunited once again as it was in the day Where Adam and Eve roamed happily In the garden and in God's presence They spent their days If you were never to change God's love would stay the same Friendship you would gain If only you came To accept His love was poured out in blood Through His son whom He dearly loved If you were never to change God's love would stay the same For the sacrifice was made That you would live free without shame Entering the throne room of the King As a child of the most high He receives you in If you were never to change God's love would stay the same For he is the same today as he was yesterday My hope as I pray Is you will make the change To come and see, know and believe God's love is for you as much as it is for me. He is waiting, come sit on His knee Be embrace and comforted For His love is as wide and as deep as the sea
God Forgives Us Of Our Wrongs! God forgives us of our wrongs! And he wants us all, to try and get along! He gave us his word and instructions… But, too often, we don't seem to "function!" Something done, or something said… And it's like some people, wish you were "dead." Even in Christ' body, there's dysfunction from the start. Ending up in another wounded and bleeding heart! What if Christ treated us, like how we treat each other? What if he turned his back, like we do our brother? No matter the good... A list of wrongs is often kept. What's been done… Someone can't seem to forget??? Do you find yourself, a person who's easily offended? By someone you don't like, or one you've befriended? May I suggest a "heavy dose" of 1 Cor. Thirteen? The love of God can take care of ANYTHING! If it didn't, then Christ' death is meaningless and lost. He bore all of our sins that day on the cross! If we can't forgive your brother over something he's done… We need to ask forgiveness of Christ… God's son! There's no excuses, in God's kingdom that's eternal! Will your name be written in heaven's journal??? By Jim Pemberton
Ignite your candle Let the Power of Christ Light Agape Love Shine from within God's Love endures Beautiful and Bright Come Shine your Light ~In hopes to bring others to Christ~
God designed marriage as the real thing! Anything less, is what a counterfeit brings! His concept of one man and woman is very real. He's not interested in bowing to "man's appeal." His court of justice rings very loud and clear! The truth of his word shall NEVER disappear! You can look in Genesis and it is found! He created Adam from the dust of the ground! He designed Eve from one of his ribs! They were joined together as both lived! He didn't need a constitution to know "their rights." He gave them HIS WORD as their guiding light! Satan has been trying to pervert what God created! This is a truth. And need not be debated! We have cheapened the value of the marriage institution! And have added needless chaos and confusion! Through the Bible, one husband and wife are taught! Unless you want to live in Sodom, as did Lot! Ungodly perversions take many forms and kinds. And it soon piles up garbage into our minds! "What God has put together." "Let no man put asunder.!" Many ideas of "marriage," is a total blunder! One man and one woman is what God ordained in Eden. It was Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steven! The choices in life are yours! And yours alone! Who is going to be the Lord, of your heart and home? By Jim Pemberton
We cannot give up; We still have life to live. The hike may not always be easy, But the view must be seen to believe.
Is it too soon to say, "I love you?" Is it too soon to let you know? Is it too soon to spek those words, So you'll never let me go? Is it too soon to tell you, I never want to leave your side? If it is please let me know, So my feelings I can hide. Is it too soon to love you, For you to embrace me? If so, take my spirit, And please set it free. Is it too soon to love you, With the part of my heart not the Lord's? Is it too soon to utter, Those three simple words? Is it too soon to tell you, For you my heart beats fast? Is it too soon to want you now, Too soon to forget my past?

I am living the dream. I stand here today, Cannot believe what I am about to say, But I am living the dream. At times, it's tough And it is not always easy. I might be condemned For choosing this path in life; Some may think it's too bag of a risk. When we give it our all, Our passion and our might, We can overcome and forget the fear To become who we are meant to be. I stand here today, Another tear ready to wipe away: You can do all you aspire to do! Set your mind and never give up! If I can do it, You can too! I can't believe I'm about to say this, But I am living my dreams. I am living the dream.
Do you want joy and satisfaction that you "haven't got?" The peace and joy you want, can't be bought… Are you looking for fulfillment in your daily activities? Have you "pushed" the envelope, with your liberties? There's a road of "good intentions." It's wide and easy to find. But there's another road… Which God has in mind! This narrow road, to many, may seem strange indeed! It's only on this road, where you'll find an answer to your need This road leads to a life that's everlasting. There's a question, which God is asking! Are you ready to take the road that leads to heaven's gate? Will this be your choice? Before it's too late? Jesus stands at your heart's door knocking… The choice is yours! On which road, will you do your walking? Please take the narrow road! It can be difficult to travel… You should do this! Before life begins to unravel! Jesus! The prince of Peace... Rules the earth and heavens above! Won't you enter his haven of rest, and abundance of love? He is here waiting for you. So loving, patient and kind… Only in him… Will you find satisfaction and joy every time! By Jim Pemberton
Grandma's Becoming A Republican! There was something that I was able to hear… Grandma is going to be a Republican this year! I remember her talking of the great depression. Many years that created a lot of tension! I remember her talking of days gone past. Wondering how much longer our country would last. I remember her talking of doing many things. And has experienced what life daily brings! Because of how things have been so dramatic. She decided long ago to be democratic! Beyond all of the politics and chatter… She loves God! And that's what matters! We love her dearly! And it's been decided… Everything she needs… God has provided! We congratulate you grandma with your choice! We say "we love you!" With one heart and voice! Our prayers are with the choice grandma's givin!! May God bless her! Each day she's livin'! By Jim Pemberton

There's a Man Who's behind me, Who protected me in everyday, Who give what I want, And Who saved me of being a sinner. He is my lover, He saw me all the times, He always one step behind me, But Who is He?, He never leave me, He carry me all the way. In every challenges I had He is with me, He choose the right path for me to go. I trust my life to Him, Likewise He trust me. But Who is He?. He accept me as what I am. He is my savior, He is my guardian, He is my angel, He is my friend, And He is my everything. At last He told His name I am Jesus Christ.
The love we have inside and the love we share. Is it rationed out are some people scared?, to show there emotions give love and devotion. We are all so different yet have the human condition, the built in ability to care. Forgive and forgetting a fatal mistake, some things happen and it's just left to late. You can't always be the one holding the reigns. In this life people will hurt, they will thrust there hurt upon you in times of blues. That is when we stand like a strong tower in there hour of need. Show compassion to others comfort a complete stranger, showing a loving human nature. Giving that warm human touch, as it goes beyond our sisters and brothers.
It's not a cult: It's a Savior saving my life. It's a Savior saving your life. It's our Savior saving our lives. It's not too late. It's never too late!
Eyes grow weary, have they learned to see During years of absence, you from me Your story's at end, your chosen plot Time draws near, but you may know not Shall I see my mother, perhaps my dad Ever watchful, my being glowing so glad It is time, I wait with mounting joy For them once again to be girl or boy That which was separate, will now be one Your chosen tasks are nearly done At the entrance, there I stand Reunion time is close at hand From the palm of His hand I've watched you grow Seeds of goodness, We watched you sow Come be with me and share His land I await the touch of your sweet hand I fault you not, as you can see I love you so, come be with me So hasten forth, with lifted heart No longer more shall we be apart These words I write, so dear to me Express my desire that you'll be free If the gate be locked, search for the key But look not far, in your heart it will be.
Can God Find A Righteous Man Like Noah? After creation, there became much evil throughout the lands! God decided to begin a search for just one righteous man! Out of the many people scattered throughout the earth… There was only one that met the criteria for God's search! Noah was the only righteous man that God could find! Other than Noah's family, there was a destruction of mankind! God's judgment was coming, as the many storm clouds appeared! Very soon, every living thing was flooded and disappeared! Because of the righteousness of Noah, mankind is here today! Wherever sin and wickedness abounds... God always makes a way! If God began a search, would he find any that are righteous? There are many that attend churches, but they must be cautious! Living righteous for God doesn't count for the church you're attending! You can try to fool others... But with God, there's no pretending! You're either living a righteous life, or living a life of lies… You either love the truth of God's word. Or his word, you despise! May the kind of life Noah lived be a challenge to me and you! God gave us his son to die for us. What are we going to do? Through the shed blood of Jesus, we can have righteous living! May we be encouraged to do this, from a heart of thanksgiving! Won't you "get on board," the ark of safety? Why there's still time? You need to decide! The wrath of God will soon reach mankind! God will reward anyone who reaches out to seek him! Won't you open up your heart? And receive him? The loving and righteous Jesus is he! He's coming back soon! And gives life for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
Thank you Lord, for helping me to see… I need much more of you and less of me! Thank you lord, for helping me to understand... You are faithful! And won't let go of my hand! Thank you lord, for being close by my side! You're with me! And pushed my enemies aside! Thank you Lord, for being there to help me! It's all because of how much you love me! Thank you lord, for answering my prayer! You're someone who always listens and cares! Thank you Lord, for your many blessings! Your gift of love, I don't want to be missing! Thank you lord, for what you're going to do! I want everyone to know, how I appreciate you! Thank you lord, for eternal life you've given! My sins are gone! I've been forgiven! With YOU in my life, what more can I say? You've given me hope and brightened my day! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Is Concerned About YOU! Jesus is concerned about YOU! The struggles you face… the trials you're going through! When trials in life begin to arise… Think about the love in your father's eyes. With every trial… Jesus makes a way to escape He's here to help you! Never a moment too late! When life's problems seem so difficult to solve… Give them to him! He's there to resolve… The future may be uncertain in the days ahead. But Jesus is the river of life… And your daily bread! By Jim Pemberton

God Has Sent Jesus! God has given a wonderful gift!. Many haven't received it. He loves us so much! Many do not believe it. He's given us the gift of salvation. Many refuse it. All that we hold on to. We shall one day lose it... God gives to all, a joyous and brand new way of living! Many are living a life that is not fulfilling. Jesus... His Son... Is knocking at our heart's door. Many have said; "Go away!" I don't want you anymore!" God looks down from heaven, and what does he find? The wickedness and sin there is in mankind. Won't you accept this gift that he offers to you? The choice is yours alone. What are you going to do? He awaits your decision. You need to make up your mind. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time! Time is growing short. The hour's getting late. Come to him now! While there's still an open gate! By Jim Pemberton
In the future looking back, You'll be happy to see How far you've come And where you are today, So make the most of this now.
As I see more ungodly laws being passed… I wonder; "how much longer will our country last?" As many believe that God is no longer needed… A tide of wickedness has relentlessly proceeded! Many kind of ungodly acts on t.v. are displayed.. As the colors of the rainbow are often portrayed! A tremendous tide of filth and sin greatly abounds! Where are the righteous? Where can they be found? It's time to think of where our freedom came from! The blessings of God, we certainly received them! Our country's taking the wrong direction! It's almost like we have a deep ungodly infection! It's time America, to return to the God of the Bible! And refuse to worship and entertain false idols! On our coins, "in God we trust.' Is what it reads…. But deep inside, our country "spiritually bleeds!" Out only hope is in Christ! And him alone! We need his principles of truth in our homes! He is and will always be the one who's provided! Without him…. A path to destruction is decided! If there was ever a time… We need God this hour! We can't make it under our own strength and power! Please come Lord Jesus! And touch us by your hand! May there be a true repentance throughout this land! It's only though Christ, that our country can have freedom within! As we come to God and seek forgiveness of sin! By Jim Pemberton
I am Your soldier. I am Your fighter. I am Your servant. I am Yours. We will fight for love. We will embrace all. We will serve Your world. We are Yours.
Broken promises and shattered dreams, Believing in hope is not what it seems; A damaged heart beyond repair, No more reason to love , no reason to care. Trying to fit in, only to be cast aside, Hiding alone so no one sees me cry; To give unto others is so naive, Cause they just want more to watch you bleed. To love in vain, is a stone cold slap, Its hard to take when they wont love back. Lord have mercy, if theres any left for me, Relieve this anguish and set me free. I feel so broken i dont know how to heal, Just give me hope that happiness is real. I surrender all to you this day, Please remember me when you come back this way.....
Jesus Has Come! That I May Know Him! Jesus has come! That I may know him! I want to serve and know all about him! What an opportunity I have! He's right here! He speaks words of love… True and sincere! I'm going to return the love, he's given to me! And the life he's given, so abundantly! The time is now! My choice has been made! There's nothing for Jesus, I would ever trade! He's worthy of all praise and honor I give! All of my failures… He's willing to forgive! Glory to Jesus! Praise him most high! I want to be with him! At the meeting in the sky! Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Set my heart on fire! That knowing you, will always be my desire! By Jim Pemberton
Sitting back on the porch in the cool of the day, pondering on the years that have gone away. Wondering will I ever see, will I ever know, what it's like to have a love to call my own. The tears began to fall and my heart began to ache, on the thought I have left it too late. I should have known as I thought these things, there was someone listening in. There you were wiping my tears away, tucking me in, under your wing. Revealing the truth and not the lie my thoughts have contrived. No greater love could have I, than one who was, who is and forever will be mine. A lover of my soul and not the flesh, Abba Father thank you for I am truly blessed.
God's Love Knows No End! With God's love… There is no end! It's one thing to hear of it… Another to pretend! There's no end of his love for you to receive! Simply reach out… And believe! There's no end to his love and wondrous deeds! He can take care of you and meet all of your needs! There's no end, how much of your sin can be forgiven! He can change you right now… And the way you're livin'! There's no end to the words of love he's spoken! Why not allow his love to enter your heart and be "inner-woven.?" There's no end to the power of his healing! The words; "I love you!" He's always revealing! There's no end to HIS majesty! He rules SUPREME! He is God. Your provider… He Is EVERYTHING! There's no end to the times he's knocked at your heart's door. Why not invite him in??? What are you waiting for? Why not accept this unlimited God who's patient and kind? Won't you do this today? Why there is still time? By Jim Pemberton
Are We Being Driven to God's Elimination? In the names of diversity and anti-discrimination. It's like we're being driven to God's elimination! God is being "forced" from many institutions! All in the name of this country's constitution! We're told that God and this country must be "separated." Anything less is what many would call; "discriminated." Any forms of Godly virtues or values are "torn down." Any symbol of a cross, is often "removed from the town." It's no wonder that this country's in such a big mess! And yet this country wants to be strong and blessed? "What shall the righteous do if the foundations are destroyed?" Meanwhile, the tide of ungodliness, is often "enjoyed." Those who are trying to remove God! You must beware! His judgment is soon coming! And will catch you unaware! There's will come a day! When God's wrath you will endure! The wages of sin is death! This is very true and sure! People may think that removing God is the "thing to do." Anyone who attempts to do will wind up as "a fool." Only God can fill the void in life and true love within! Only he has the power to free your soul from sin! The words; "in God we trust," in our lives must be applied! Everything we'll ever need… God has supplied! God is this country's hope! It's only true foundation! We need HIM right now! To come and heal our nation! By Jim Pemberton
Would You Be Ready, If Christ Came Today? Are you one who's ready for Christ' return? The way you're living... Are you concerned? Many try to find a love that will last... But outside church, their spiritual candle burns out fast. Many believe they're doing good and "o.k." As long as they give a little time and pray. Many have God's word and don't know the verses. You can see their Bible on Sunday, underneath their purses! A sense of excitement stirs each morning. But many fail to heed God's somber warning. Without holiness, no one shall enter God's throne. If Jesus came today... Would you be left alone? God knows the heart of man is wicked deep within. That's why Jesus said: "YOU MUST be born again." Be separate from the world's wicked and sinful ways. "Be ready for my coming," is what Jesus says. At God's house, his divine judgement shall start. Live for Jesus NOW! Love him with all of your heart! Keep this important thought in mind... If Jesus came today... Would you go, or be left behind? By Jim Pemberton
It's not about me; It never was, It never should have been, And it never will. It's not about me; It's about them. It's about Him. It's about giving them all they need To get them back on their feet. It's about showing them hope So they may be filled with the Spirit And know that things will be alright again. It's about serving Him So we may show His love And spread His messages for all the world to hear. It's about inspiring. It's about teaching faith. It's about giving hope. It's about showing love. It's not about me; It's about them. It's about Him.
We Have A Perverted Society That Needs Jesus! As we see a huge tide of a sexual invasion… We have largely a perverted generation! Just read the recent news, and you will hear… Another sex offender has begun to appear. There's many confused lives and warped minds. Involved with sexual filth of many kinds! Our country is "engulfed" with lustful things! Many not realizing the bondage, this often brings! We read the news, and are "shocked" at what we read… Yet there's so many hearts that ache and bleed! Is there any hope for a person who is trapped within? Who feel that they can't escape the bondage of sin? Jesus Christ can bring the victory that so many seek! Only he can bring fulfillment each day of the week! The lies of the sexual pleasures will only fool you! These temptations will bring bondage as they allure you! The freedom you need is not from a movie or a magazine! It comes from the blood of Jesus and the love he brings! There's a freedom in serving Jesus! I'm here to tell you! He loves you so much! And will NEVER fail you! Run from the sexual sin, and seek God to overcome! All victory is given! Through Jesus, his son! Jesus is all we ever need! And brings true satisfaction! A complete life renewed with a godly restoration! By Jim Pemberton
What A Wonderful Savior! What a wonderful savior, in Christ, I have found! He picked me up, when my life was crashing down! What an awesome Lord, I n Jesus, I know! His blessings in me, he wants to bestow! What an example in him, I have to live for! It was for us all, that Christ chose to die for! What a joy and happiness, to my heart, he brings! He gives me a reason to live, shout and sing! What an opportunity you have, to also know him! Won't you confess your sins? And bow before him? What a wonderful gift! You can receive his salvation! The past can be gone! You can be a NEW creation! By Jim Pemberton
I see the rain, Dancing across the sidewalk, Carefully placing each drop One at a time, They flow with each other, Gracefully and in sync, As a dance from the heavens Praising the One who made them, And as I watch them, I become hypnotized, Almost entranced, By their beauty
Jesus Is Here! The same Jesus who died on the cross, is right here! I don't need to worry, doubt or have any fear! The same Jesus who walked on this earth long ago… Is the same one, who can redeem and make me whole! The same Jesus who arose in his resurrection power… Can meet all of my needs! This very hour! The same Jesus who defeated Satan by his word… Has spoken his marvelous grace, for all to be heard! The same Jesus is the one who wants you to know him! One day, every one will confess, and bow before him! The same Jesus could return this very day! For HE is the truth, the life, and the only way! Won't you accept everything that he has given? You too can experience the power of being FORGIVEN! By Jim Pemberton
(Continued from The Cards of Life: Part One) Ah, yes! I see thousands chipping in with their donations, I see thousands giving coats to those in need, I see thousands feeding those on the streets, I see thousands saving lives, I see thousands changing lives, I see thousands making positive impacts, And this is only what is seen. Imagine what occurs in hiding Behind the scenes! I guess the moral here Is to open our hearts for all; There is no person too big or small Who doesn't deserve to be loved. God is all around, And we need to show them His love. This life is not always easy, And we cannot understand everyone's situation. So, please, let's love all of those in need For they could use a helping hand, And let's give them strength, Faith, hope, and love again. You can change someone's life! You can save someone's life! Let's start a movement to share God's love By loving the world and all her people Because they are human beings too, Just like me, just like you. But I still sit here, Wrapped in my bed, And I can't help but feel guilty. So let's go and help those in need. Together, we will all fuel the victory!
Jesus wants to be your lord! In all that you do! He desires this, because of his love for YOU! He'll be there for you, when help is needed! He'll bring the victory, when you feel defeated! Whosoever will, can receive the life he gives! He's so patient, kind and willing to forgive! Won't you make Jesus the focus of your attention? He'll turn your life around! Into a Godly direction! He's our righteousness! He is everything! He's the master of the heavens! And can do anything! Won't you accept his invitation? And listen to his call? Won't you invite him in, to be the lord of ALL? He's the answer to your problems! And whatever you need! Why not give his spirit, the opportunity to lead? Please come Lord Jesus, and be our Lord today! Please come and lead us into your righteous way! By Jim Pemberton
Why do we love? Why?! We were first loved, that is why. By a God so great, so holy! We don't deserve this great love, Yet He is willing to give it, Willing to be born a human, Willing to suffer, Willing to die... Just to show His great love for us! What more do we need to show us that our great God loves us?! We love, because we were first loved... By a God so great, so holy...

Anything that helps him attract ridicule flies from the same nasty barrio I can say hurtful things, that will anger the demon, give him, the real reason for vengence ADAM! I'd rather not, my words are poisonous enough too much for someone like him who easily gets bent out of shape, when it comes to paper and pen, this backstabbing demon I've shown you my sword, the rage I can display, however that's not lady like even I was disgusted by the thoughts that poured from my golden pen I killed, a world, and hung myself when spewing that 75 line verse a poem, in which God, Himself shut me up, and said " Eve what have you done! " Walk away now, and never look back, that kind of slam is forbidden listen to the air, God is whipering, I need not to fight, a fight that's not worth it Adam, this time let's trust the Lord, look how this demon's eyes, eiden when we bite the strange fruit together forget about the worm in the apple, preying on dirty minds needing attention at the end, he will notice, God is my witness, and under His protection I move forwards, not backwards, and I know how to turn the other cheek Adam, its time to look away, let's make love like never before, let's continue to explore a world of love a world made especially for ADAM and EVE By Poet - Eve

Do you ever watch the butterfly? The beauty in its colors. The love in its movements its just like no other. The butterfly is my favorite of the bugs and the flowers the love it shows is like Gods hand its touch is soft and full of grace so gentle in its movements like the Lamb. So as you walk in the spring watch the butterfly as it lands see how it moves and let it stand on the flowers God made for us and it, take it slow and never skip. Written by:©Betty Bolden 12-13-03
