CHRISTMAS LOVE
On the very first Christmas
God sent to the world His Son
And kept the prophet's promise
A mighty Savior would come
A mighty Savior would come
On that cold and starry night
A Cry of life would pierce the dark
And fill the earth with Heaven's Light
Who seeks to save the darkest heart
On the first Christmas morn
Some two-thousand years ago
Eternity's Master Planner was born
So all who will beieve would know
God gave His Son to live and die
Hope of everlasting peace was given
Though the world would rather forget His Time
Christmas Love is forever (alive and well) in Heaven

God's Poem / His Work of Art
God's Poem
The promise, the pain,
The problem of pride;
The patience, The providence,
The struggle with I. The sin,
The salvation, The confession
of wrong; The humanity, The
forgiveness, The humility of
song. The discipline, the grace,
The admission of weakness;
The surrender, The slavery,
The freedom of holiness.
The church, the fellowship,
The submission to power;
The price, The perfection,
The beauty of a flower.

His Work of Art
Do you ever wake up and wonder if you are where God wants you? Do you ever wonder if you are really following God's plan for your life? These are normal questions and ought to be asked by every true believer in Jesus Christ. We should desire to follow His plan; and the only way to know is to ask, listen for direction, and obediently follow.
The most important part of God's plan is that we trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin; "He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). God wants us all to repent, turn to Jesus, and receive His gift of Salvation. He wants us to step from eternal death to eternal life through faith in His one and only Son!
But many people receive His gift and then continue life with no real change, no new direction. This should not be! When we receive God's gift of Salvation, something wonderful occurs; "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). When we place our life in His hands, He wipes away the ugliness of our sin and begins to grow and mature us into the likeness of His Son (Romans 8:29). This process of maturing growth IS His plan!
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
When we become a new creation in Christ, we become God's workmanship. The Greek word for workmanship is "poiema" - it's where we get the word poem. And though it might be difficult to think of our life as a poem, the idea being presented is that God is creating something beautiful, something almost poetic which touches His heart.
It might be easier to switch analogies and think of God as the Master Painter. When we give Him our life, we hand Him our old canvas covered with the grotesque ugliness of sin. But by grace, the canvas is wiped clean, and the Artist begins to paint a work of art with Jesus as the model. Every stroke of His brush is to make our canvas look more and more like Christ.
Are we where God wants us? Are we following His plan? To help find the answer we should ask: Is the likeness of Christ beginning to form, or is my canvas still filled with ugliness and confusion? Am I allowing Him to paint, or am I trying to take the brush at every opportunity?
God really is the Master Painter, and He really does know what He is doing. If we will allow Him to finish His work, the end result will be better than anything we can imagine!! Let's give Him our canvas and allow Him to paint. Let's follow His plan and allow our life to become His work of art.
Have a Christ Centered Day!

TIME FOR A POEM
Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel: "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
YOU KNOW ME
You know my heart
You MADE my soul
You are the part
Who makes me whole
You know my doubts
You FEEL my tears
You are the only truth
Who controls my fears
You know my mind
You SEE my faults
You are perfection
Who walks its halls
You know my dreams
You HEAR my prayers
You are the Peace
Who takes me there

GOD HAS A PLAN
GOD HAS A PLAN
God has a plan
He knows what
He's about
God loves people
He loves us more
Than we allow
God gives hope
He lifts us up
When we're down
Jesus saves sinners
He invites the lost
To be found
God keeps His promises
He will bring us home
Safe and sound
God has a perfect plan
He will always
Be around
20140913
GOD IS ALIVE
GOD IS
When freedom calls
Ripening the SOUL
Soothing your pain
GOD IS in control
When silence rushes in
Reclaiming the MIND
Calming every storm
GOD IS @ work in time
When eternity closes in
Awakening the HEART
Opening your eyes
GOD IS, you are His art
When Jesus calls
Giving the HOLY SPIRIT
Changing your focus for good
GOD IS, and you are His
20140823
NOW AND FOREVER
ETERNAL PROMISE
I love you
I always will
You belong to Me
I will hold you
I will comfort you
I won't leave you alone
I will break you
And I will heal you as
My Truth sets you free
I chose you
I will always love you
I will never let you go

THE LIVING GOD
THE LIVING GOD
(Our Source of Strength)
Color outside the lines
Run with the wind in your face
Do all things through Christ
Who gives us strength
Dance for joy and dare to dream
Swim against the downhill stream
We can do everything God commands
Through Jesus Christ who strengthens
Speak words of encouragement
Sing songs of grace-filled praise
Write simple poems of holy faith
For the Living Source of all our strength
Stand and fight the current madness
Shine a hopeful light in the darkest days
We can do all things through Jesus Christ
