We desire to know the news and beliefs of the entire world.  We all have our opinions and theories of who is right and what really matters. Truly the life in tune with the wonders of God’s gifts of everyday things, which encourage joy and peace instead of promoting turmoil and strife, is more content and happy.

Mindful of Little Things

Be mindful of the little things in life.
That causes to the heart certain delight.
Then at other times let them pass,
You will be well blessed in the act.
Does this sound a little strange to your ear?
It is pure wisdom if you hear.
There are little signs that are meant to be;
Like small gifts delivered for you to see.
Such as the pretty butterfly or bird or a flower’s bloom,
Or like sunshine that floods the room.
Or perhaps a heart-shaped cloud in the sky;
Be mindful; do not let them pass by.
Perhaps an unexpected loving tap of family or friend,
Or even a smile delivered by one of them.
Then there are little things you need to ignore or toss aside.
That is toxic and cause certain discomfort inside.
Like the sharp word of either stranger and friend,
And the devil’s lies that try to sneak in.
The stolen glances in areas unhealthy for the soul,
Be mindful to repent them; for God already knows.
Be mindful; take care to on the right path stay,
Remember to keep in mind Jesus is the Way.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. Proverbs 12:16

Lord teach us Your ways! You are the Master of the redeemed soul.

When the Master speaks, the wind changes its way;
The waters recede and all creation obeys;
Flowers bloom and grasses wither or grow;
Terror strikes the heart or joy overflows.
When the Master speaks time stands in awe;
Wise men give homage and all men before Him fall.
At the use of the Master’s name,
The devil trembles with hatred, and shame;
Demons are powerless and must flee at its might;
They are overcome with fear and scatter in fright.
When the Master speaks sickness will loose its grasp.
The word of faith is honored when the trusting one asks.
Who can stand against the One that formed all that you see?
Never fear your God is overcome by any enemy.
Jesus gave His authority to His body…the Church…His bride
Speak the Word and the Master’s voice in you is alive!

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 Peter 4:11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The Day After

The day after the resurrection I wonder what it was like?
After a once broken heart was visited by God’s healing light?
I wonder did they dance and sing the next day still,
Because of the joy that their heart filled?
Did people prepare feasts and gather to rejoice?
The day after, they again heard their Savior’s voice?
I wonder how it could not be?
Surely, in wonder and awe, the day after was precious indeed.
Now we celebrate the wonderful event of long ago,
When our life was forever freed from death’s hold.
We rejoice our Lord and Savior spoke in our hearts new,
And marvel, He is alive not in the empty tomb!
Has the beautiful message of the resurrection of Christ,
To have only one special day set aside?
What do we do the day after the day,
Of celebration; surly the beautiful truth with us stays?.
He not only is alive He reigns in health above.
He reigns within the hearts of all He is a part of.

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Perfection Attained By Brenda Drake

Whisper: You are seen perfect under the blood of Christ.

James 1:3-4
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Perfection Attained

Some people work hard to get things right;
They tire out trying and they get up tight.
Striving for a perfection that can never be,
For on earth, it is impossibility.
Always something does not perfectly fit,
There’s nothing that you can do about it.
Those that think to be perfect will find.
They cannot claim perfect status much of the time.
There is a day coming when all will change;
A time where perfection is attained.
The One that planned for it to come,
Will mark its beginning with celebration.|
The pure, holy bride
Will reign at the Bridegroom’s side.
The air fills with perfect praise.
Hearts and minds of all are upraised.
Love so sweet the angels’ sigh with pleasure.
Every living soul is full and filled without measure.
The glorious day comes when Perfection show His face.
When every seeking heart feels His embrace.
Until then enjoy the gift of life the best you can.
Although not yet perfect it still comes from the Father’s hand.
Rejoice one day you will be able to of perfection take part,
When the world will find it has a new start.
Until then be careful to do your best for things to turn out right.
But know under the blood the Father in your perfection already delights.

I, who am imperfect, am perfected in the perfect place under the blood of Jesus.
