Please, Be Able to Say: ‘He Delivered Me’ Today

13 Sep 2024

“I heard a loud voice from the throne say:

“Look! The tent of God is with mankind,
and he will reside with them,

and they will be his people.

And God himself will be with them.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,
and death will be no more,

neither will mourning nor outcry
nor pain be anymore.

The former things have passed away.”

And the One seated on the throne said:

“Look! I am making all things new.”

Also he says: “Write,
for these words are faithful and true.”” Rev. 21:3-5.

Shouldn’t We Do What Is Right. . . ‘Seek Peace and Pursue It’

10 Aug 2024

Yes, we must please “Be
peaceable with one another.” 1 Thess. 5:13.
Despite its difficulty

today.
As stress boils into bitter

to patience
trample

vessels of ‘clay’.
But this is when Paul’s words
we wisely replay:

“For all things I have the strength
through the one who gives me power.” Phil. 4:13.

Thus: We kneel to repent.
We regret do convey

to ‘Our Father in heaven’.
For our ‘brothers’ aren’t ‘prey’…

Since: “The fruit of righteousness
is sown

in peaceful conditions

for*
(Or possibly, “by.”)

those who are making peace.” James 3:18.
Without ‘further’ delay…
Even as ‘war’

tragically universally portrays
itself to be life’s only logical means

by which men can
insults and acts

rightfully ‘repay’… … More Shouldn’t We Do What Is Right. . . ‘Seek Peace and Pursue It’

with an everlasting salvation.

You will not be put to shame or disgraced
for all eternity.” Isa. 45:17.

you will not be put to shame

Because of all your deeds
with which you rebelled against me,

For then I will remove the haughty boasters
from among you;

And you will never again be haughty
in my holy mountain.” Zeph. 3:11.

Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,

Because the earth will certainly be filled
with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.” Isa. 11:9.

Amen and Amen.” Ps. 72:19. … More ‘The True God’

Limping. . .

14 Jun 2024

Crooked tongues
falsehoods spin

as deadly threads

until trap is spun
by deceitfulness led.

Limping upon “two opinions”
leads not to endless life,

but utmost dread;

since gravedom calls out
by hunger fed:

“The Grave and the place of destruction
are never satisfied”. Prov. 27:20.

***

“How long will you be limping
between two different opinions?

Or “on two crutches.”

If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;
but if Baʹal is, follow him!” 1 Kings 18:21. … More Limping. . .

Soon . . . Just YOU Being You, With All Our Various Hues

8 Jun 2024

Hey!

What are you?… Black, White, Latino too?
Who’s your mom, dad, grandparents?
Which side do you choose?

Curious… Why?… Who sets the rules?

DNA crosses human lines
because Adam and Eve held eggs for us all
to look different.

Matter-of-fact,

Is anyone available to recall
what they looked like?

Do you think they looked the same?…
Then how would they react
at each child’s birth

when from them all nationalities came? … More Soon . . . Just YOU Being You, With All Our Various Hues

Hope Renewed

19 Mar 2024

As each night approaches
my hope goes through changes.

Shadows ensue.
My faith it pursues.

Saddened I become.
For my confidence proceeds to falter.

Since felt delayed
a particular hope.

“Expectation postponed makes the heart sick,

But a desire realized
is a tree of life”. Pro. 13:12.

To impatience I imperfectly
succumb. Wrestling everyday to stay positive and strong
before onlookers of my fate.

Why must I endure this humiliation,
inwardly I ask;
