Blessed

It is indeed what we were created for. It is what the Lord our god created us for, to love and be loved. By loving Him we exalt him and will make every effort to odey His wishes. 
The introduction to the book that never was.

Introduction           

    Many people walk this world feeling alone, withdrawn within themselves, for lack of  expression of their inner being. We cloak and veil ourselves over to keep others out knowing full well we would be rejected if we permitted our every feeling to be known, however complete or incomplete that expression might be. The Christian is especially prone to holding himself in. The frustrations, put downs, inability to express one's self, quiet wars in private places, extreme love, hurts, joy, sorrow and all other manner of living experiences can be crippling.  They are all here in this book to tell of their universality and also of their lessons and the hope they herald. All parts have been tested by giving bits and pieces to different people. I have been put on a pedestal as well as told I have gone off the deep end for what is written here.   These pages are not a critical analysis but a bit of hope for those who think no one else knows what is inside.  Thank you for those who knew this to be true and encouraged me to give what is inside to you.

Homeward

 

The eyes of wisdom softly peering,

Crying, sobbing as if to say,

"Hard has been the mountain road

Through thorny rubbled way."

 

Knowledge has somehow filtered through

The crushing weight of bygone years

And, with miracles of unseen hands,

Softened your heart with precious tears.

 

Sparkling windows, gems aglow,

Have seen through sorrows lonely strife,

Past the place of mortal dwelling

To the home of eternal life.

 

Happy now your days forever,

No more need to fight or struggle.

Abba has called you homeward bound.

In loving arms now you cuddle.

The Manger

 

Hear O' Judah! Listen!

A light shines forth in your midst.

Your day of joy is at hand.

The word now lives as you live.

 

Rejoice Israel! Celebrate!

The covenant of life has come.

The promise of the scriptures

Has been born to you this day.

 

Give thanks house of Benjamin.

Though you are least you are greatest.

The staff of life has come to you

For the salvation of the world.

 

Bend low your knee all Bethlehem.

All heaven sings in praise and glory.

Forgiveness has come quietly upon you

With a baby in straw filled manger.

  2. What fabulous verses today Jim, and I could well identify with them. For steep the way, and 'rubbled', for me, many times. But for the Hope I have, I may well have faltered way before now.
    Beautiful colouring
    Blessings
