Prayer of Love

God of Love,

Thank you that you are love itself.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus was born.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus lived a perfect and holy life.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus taught us to love.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus taught us to love God.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus taught us to love each other.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus taught us to love even our enemies.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus died for us.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus took the punishment for all our sins.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus defeated death and rose again.

We praise you that it was for Love that your Son Jesus set us free.

We praise you that love incarnate will come again and thank you that you are love itself.

In the name of the Son of Love,

Amen

Testimony

Grace Alone. My heart yet afar off. Christ dies for me. My heart drawn to Him. Christ rises for me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. My heart broken. Christ comforts me. My heart angry at, the world, the flesh, the devil and even to my shame family and Him whom I have pierced. Christ calms me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. My heart yearning for a better world. Christ encourages me. Grace: Be still and know that I am God. Lonely, My heart blessed with a beloved. Desiring a child, My heart blessed with a baby. My heart blessed with family. Grace Alone: Be still and know that I am God. *** Based on my Christian Testimony. Some verses of note -  John 3:16 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For w...

Governments, armies, Terrorists and arms dealers all claim to be serving the greater good in eliminating threats. They claim to protect us from enemies (while clearly swimming in a sea of money like Scrooge McDuck). But, the question is, who will protect us from them? It is the age-old "Who Will Watch the Watchmen?"

The Sunrise of His Grace

-
Image
Behold the Sunrise of God's infinite Grace. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness, a child was born. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness a boy stunned the religious elite. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness a man preaches love and performs miracles. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness he is humiliated, mocked, tortured and killed, his body on display. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness he is buried by followers, crushed, forsaken. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness HE RISES AND DEFEATS DEATH! In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness he forgives the followers who abandoned and denied him. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness he is still forgiving. In an age of war, disasters and all out wickedness HE IS COMING AGAIN! Behold the sunrise of God's infinite Grace! *** This poem won an award at allpoetry.

Time

Time goes marching on. Many an empire has come and gone. Yet we remain. Watching the ticking clock and the sifting sands of time. Time goes marching on. Many a friend has been and gone. Yet we remain. Watching the ticking clock and the sifting sands of time. Time goes marching on. Many a soul has been lost and won. Yet we remain. Watching the ticking clock and the sifting sands of time. Time goes marching on. When our time comes, if we are remembered or not, will the love sown remain as time goes marching on?
