Life is Stronger than Death By Brenda Drake

There was one thing I never wanted to talk about; Death: I was petrified of it.  I still am nor fond of it, and surely wish there was no such thing, but I am not now traumatized thinking of it anymore for my Lord promises never to leave me or forsake me.  He will be with me when I walk through that door. What a wonderful work Jesus did for us on the cross.  He not only paid our debt of sin but He showed us just how He would help us conquer death by the example of His victory on resurrection day.

Life is Stronger than Death

Life is stronger than death when you belong to Christ.
Life lives on when in God you delight.
Eternal life with Jesus is as walking through the opened door.
Death’s fear has no threat anymore.
Jesus is Life and The Way,
He is Savior in every way.
He chose to take your place,
So you could His eternal life embrace.
Resurrection’s power death’s hold loosed and the soul released.
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice there lies ahead perfect peace.
The truth and power of Jesus over the grave,
Is the life-giving truth you are from its hold saved.
Jesus died and rose again to rescue the lost.
All who believe and come by way of the cross,
Have the same hope in their final quest,
Because of Jesus they rest in His promises.
Those not acquainted with the truth that sets them free,
Are not able to His resurrection-power receive.
They will die only to live without God in their life;
A hellish existence; forever without Christ.
God so loves the world He sent His Son Jesus to die in our place.
Whosoever will believe will receive His amazing grace.
They too will be of God’s family a part.
Never to be separated again from the Father’s heart.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Eye of Sin or Light By Brenda Drake

  It is so easy to see the bad things all around us.  It takes effort sometimes to look for all the good things God has blessed us with.  Before Jesus we were blind to the condition of our soul.  After we become God’s child the devil likes to remind us of all our imperfections.  We are a work in progress so I choose to see myself as the Word tells me my Father in heaven sees me. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Eye of Sin or Light

When you see the flaws within
It is because you observe through the eye of sin.
When you see through the eyes of light,
You perceive the perfection of Christ.
Light is life. Life is faith in Jesus the Word.
Death and darkness flees when faith occurs.
If you become saddened by yours and others lack,
You need to stop and get back on track.
Remember the great profit of the saved soul;
There is new life and out with the old.
You are what the Word says you are now my friend.
You are a child of God and you are one with Him.
If you only detect the dearth and circumstance that bind,
You need to stop again yet another time.
In Jesus there is no lack, nothing is impossible for Him to do.
The One above all gave His all to you.

Luke 11:35-3
  The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

The Flower of Eternal Life By Brenda Drake

I love flowers for their beauty and for their fragrance; and I am disappointed when they wilt and die.  I surround myself with artificial flower arrangements for their lasting beauty but would much more appreciate the real ones.  God makes us all beautiful and a forever bloom in His kingdom. 

The Flower of Eternal Life

On earth a flower’s beauty fades
On the vine it does not forever stay.
Its promise of pleasure is no more,
Its lovely attributes fall to the earth’s floor.
Flowers on earth are presented as gifts.
The aroma of some, are hard to resist.
Lovely to look at and lovely to smell,
Each bloom has its own story to tell.
Just so are the children in the land.
The flower of youth proudly stands.
But beauty fades and droops down,
With or without sweet aroma also fall to the ground.
But there is a Flower that forever blooms.
He is, was and is coming soon.
He lived, loved, and died for man;
So His life and His love you could understand.
Because you are His and He is in You,
You are now a flower in full bloom.
A forever flower, eternal life lives within.
Because He is life, and You are one with Him,
You are the flower I send to grace the table of the lost;
Full of good fruit that shows the way to God’s love on the cross.

1 John 2:17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.
