Health Benefits of Okra

1. The superior fiber found in okra helps to stabilize the blood sugar by curbing the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract.

2. Okra's mucilage binds cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver.

3. Okra helps lubricate the large intestines due to its bulk laxative qualities. The okra fiber absorbs water and ensures bulk in stools. This helps prevent and improve constipation. Unlike harsh wheat bran, which can irritate or injure the intestinal tract, okra's mucilage soothes, and okra facilitates elimination more comfortably by its slippery characteristic. Okra binds excess cholesterol and toxins (in bile acids). These, if not evacuated, will cause numerous health problems. Okra also assures easy passage out of waste from the body. Okra is completely non-toxic, non-habit forming, has no adverse side effects, is full of nutrients, and is economically within reach of most individuals unlike over-the-counter drugs.

4. Okra fiber is excellent for feeding the good bacteria (probiotics). This contributes to the health of the intestinal tract.

5. Okra is a supreme vegetable for those feeling weak, exhausted, and suffering from depression.

6. Okra is used for healing ulcers and to keep joints limber. It helps to neutralize acids, being very alkaline, and provides a temporary protective coating for the digestive tract.

7. Okra treats lung inflammation, sore throat, and irritable bowel syndrome.

8. Okra has been used successfully in experimental blood plasma replacements.

9. Okra is good for summer heat treatment.

10. Okra is good for constipation.

11. Okra is good in normalizing the blood sugar and cholesterol level.

12. Okra is good for asthma. Okra's vitamin C is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which curtail the development of asthma symptoms.

13. Okra is good for atherosclerosis.

14. Okra is believed to protect some forms of cancer expansion, especially colorectal cancer.

15. Eating okra helps to support the structure of capillaries.

16. Some information shows that eating okra lowers the risk of cataracts.

17. Okra is good for preventing diabetes.

18. Okra protects you from pimples and maintains smooth and beautiful skin. We understand the reason why Cleopatra and Yang Guifei loved to eat okra.

Vaginal Intrusion by Governor – DICK-HEAD – Bob McDonnell, Virginia; with the other Right-Wing Extremists, want to invade your Vagina!

These are the people you coronate into office with your vote! Imagine, the PUNANNY State of Virginia headed by Governor Bob McDonnell and the other Right-Wing extremists, passed a bill – “mandating an invasive procedure for women seeking an abortion, to undergo transvaginal ultrasound involuntarily.” (See the diagram in the photo)

Ridiculed by comedians and savaged by opponents, the original version of the bill supported by McDonnell drew a large crowd of protesters to the State Capital in Richmond earlier in the week.

At the last moment, McDonnell who is a possible Vice President GOP contender and an abortion opponent, withdrew his support and asked for changes in the bill. Make no mistake, Governor McDonnell did not have a change of heart due to conscience, but his recanting of his previous position, is strictly political.

Governor McDonnell and all of the Right-Wing Extremists across our great land, their objective is to always make women “second class citizens; control women’s vaginas; women’s sex lives; women’s equality and all that make these egregious, pernicious, chauvinists, the “Dick-Heads” that they are!

Just take a good look at the remaining GOP Presidential Contenders! Rick Santorum, America’s small town “Mullah,” who is considered too Catholic even by Catholic standards, believes that America’s troubles stem from men and women having sex for reasons other than procreation; people involved in same-sex relationships; women using contraception or having parental testing; environmentalists who Santorum claims elevate “the Earth above man;” women working outside the home; and President Obama whom he obliquely and oddly compared to Hitler and also accused the President of having “some phony theology.”

If you consider Santorum’s remarks, he should be in the Middle-East, identifying himself for whom he really is, a Religious Jihadist! Just imagine how far down the abyss we have fallen when you see Franklin Graham, heinously doubting President Obama’s Christian faith on MSNBC earlier in the week. (This is truly sad, because Franklin’s father, the Great Reverend Billy Graham that is respected by the world, never in his seventy plus years of preaching the Gospel, questioned anyone’s faith.)

Santorum who disagrees with the 1965 Supreme Court’s Decision striking down a “ban on contraception,” insisted that contraception is “not O.K. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”

I do believe that despite Rick Santorum being married and has seven children, somewhere in his life – “a woman’s vagina became his perpetual Scarecrow, in his sick and demented mind!

DAILY MIRACLES!

God bless you from a stranger

Is a miracle I see,

Free space in a car park

Makes life a little more easy

When unexpected help comes my way

God is watching over me, I say!

A smile, kind word or deed is shown

I certainly know I’m not alone

The greatest joy comes from giving

In service to others without expecting,

Helping someone when we are not asked

The rewards are greater than the actual task

I don’t see miracles as the parting of the sea

It’s the little things that bring comfort to me,

To wake up each day with good health

It’s a big blessing, greater than wealth!

THE POTTER’S CLAY HAVE DRIED

Live life to the full this day

In spite of what tomorrow may bring,

Don’t look back at yesterday

Today, shout and dance and sing

Our yesterdays cannot be redone

The Potter’s clay have dried,

Tomorrow hasn’t yet come

Today, breathe a breath of sigh

We were blessed with memory

For the next bridge that we cross,

Forgive and be no longer sorry

Times past is already lost

Be strong for the next grief

For soon it will be here,

Don’t live life in disbelief

For your soul would just be bare!

2011-11-30T16:16:00.001-08:00

HIS SPIRIT LIVES IN ME!

The hours that the sun sheds her light

Much stronger I am within,

But when darkness brings the night

Looms the horrors of sin

As the evening shadows begin to fall

Sadness captures me,

No longer am I standing tall

I fall on bended knee

This life is hard to explain

Even to those that care,

I’m trying hard to hide my pain

And, my insatiable fear

I know my Lord controls the world

Despite my tragedy,

For He is the Master of my soul

And, His Spirit lives in me!

2011-11-08T14:34:00.001-08:00

Beyond this world of wrath and tears….

In the clutch of pains that follow me

From my head down to my sole,

I wonder what life holds’ for me?

In the darkness of my world

Despite the pangs I would not complain

Even when I pine,

And though at times I feel disdain

I know, I am wholly Thine

Beyond this world of wrath and tears

Looms, but the Heavens’ above,

With freedom from pains or fears

And the bounty of my Father’s love

So, in the midst of my circumstance

In this blessed evening shade,

I’ll live by faith and not by chance

Strong in heart and unafraid!

“MAY INFINITE WISDOM CURE US OF THE MADNESS OF SELF-CONFIDENCE”

2011-05-26T14:27:00.000-07:00

“MAY INFINITE WISDOM CURE US OF THE MADNESS OF

SELF-CONFIDENCE”

“MY SPEECH SEEMS TO THESE BABYLONIANS AMONG WHOM I DWELL AN OUTLANDISH TONGUE, MY MANNERS ARE SINGULAR, AND MY ACTIONS ARE STRANGE.”

Yes, O Lord, with Thee, but not to Thee. All my natural alienation from Thee, Thy grace has effectually removed; and now, in fellowship with Thyself. I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country. Thou art a stranger in Thine own world. Man forgets Thee, dishonors Thee, sets up new laws and alien customs and knows Thee not!

He, [Jesus Christ] was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew him not. Never was a foreigner so speckled a bird among the denizens of any land as Thy beloved Son among His mother’s brethren. It is no marvel then, if I, who try to live the life of Christ, should be unknown and a stranger here below.

Lord, I would not be a citizen where Jesus was an alien. His pierced hand has loosened the cords which once bound my soul to the earth, and now I find myself a stranger in the land. My speech seems to these Babylonians among whom I dwell an outlandish tongue, and my manners are singular, and my actions are stranger. A Tartar would be more at home in Cheapside than I could ever be in the haunts of this world. Open link to read the short story:

But the sweetness of my lot is that I am a stranger with Christ, Thou art my fellow-sufferer, my fellow-pilgrim. Oh what joy to wander in such a blessed society! My heart burns within me by the way when Thou dost speak to me, and though I be a sojourner, I am far more blest than those who sit on thrones, and far more at home than those who dwell in their ceiled houses!

“Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sin.” Psalm 19:13. Such was the prayer of the “man after God’s own heart.” Did David need to pray thus? How needful, then must such a prayer be for us babes in grace! It is as if he said, “Keep me back, or I shall rush headlong over the precipice of sin.” Our evil nature, like an ill-tempered horse, is apt to run away. May the grace of God put the bridle upon it, and hold it in, that it rush not into mischief.

What might not the best of us do if it were not for the checks which the Lord sets upon us both in providence and in grace? The Psalmist prayer is directed against the worst form of sin – that which is done with deliberation and willfulness. Even the holiest needs to be “kept back” from the vilest transgressions. It is a solemn thing to find the Apostle Paul warning us against the most loathsome sins. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”

The whitest robes, unless their purity be preserved by divine grace, will be defiled by the blackest spots. Experienced child of God, boast not in your experience, you will trip yet if you look away from Him who is able to keep you from falling. Ye whose love is fervent, whose faith is constant, whose hopes are bright, say not, “We shall never sin,” but rather cry, “Lead us not into temptation.”

There is enough tinder in the heart of the best of men to light a fire that shall burn to the lowest hell, unless God shall quench the sparks as they fall. Who would have dreamed that righteous Lot could be found drunken and committing uncleanness? Hazael said, “Is Thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?” and we are very apt to use the same self righteousness. May infinite wisdom cure us of the madness of self-confidence!

“SOMETIMES GOD ALLOWS US TO SUFFER WANT, HE ALLOWS US TO PINE IN PENURY AND OBSCURITY. WHY IS THIS?”

There are many reasons: one is, to give us, who are favored with enough, an opportunity of showing our love to Jesus. We show our love to Christ when we sing of Him and when we pray to Him; but if there were no sons of need in the world we should lose the sweet privilege of evidencing our love, by ministering in alms-giving to His poorer brethren; He has ordained that thus we should prove that our love standeth not in word only, but in deed and in truth.

If we truly love Christ, we shall care for those who are loved by Him. Those who are dear to Him and will be dear to us. Let us then look upon it not as a duty but as a privilege to relieve the poor of the Lord’s flock – remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, “Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Surely this assurance is sweet enough and this motive strong enough to lead us to help others with a willing hand and a loving heart – recollecting that all we do for His people is graciously accepted by Christ as done to Himself!

DEDICATED TO THE WORLD’S BABYLONIAN GODDESS!

“ELIZABETH TAYLOR”

Elizabeth came into our lives decades before
But in our hearts, she was always next door,
This paragon never failed to shine
From a special "bodega," was this most precious wine

Her adulthood same as when she was a child
Her demeanor was always a pretty smile!
Luxurious tresses sat on her shoulders and sparkles in her eyes
Yahweh used a special alabaster, to create his jewel child

Sometimes beauty and deception are intertwined
This jewel child was not just elegant, but truly sublime,
Our sojourner's walk were apart as the Raven and the Dove
But for Elizabeth, our hearts were filled love?

Now she has left at the inception of spring,
Elizabeth is flying on Eagles’ Wings!

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?

2011-03-12T16:59:00.000-08:00

When will we wake up,open our eyes, observe and make positive changes? Our goal is to win but through love and compassion. We can win dynamically, positively and live in harmony. Where does change come from? Change comes from within each individual and we all have the ability to make a difference.

The bigger picture is human life! Take an aerial view of the world and all the man-made disasters, one of which we are currently facing, the meltdown of a Nuclear plant in Japan. What more would it take to shake us out of this trance we are in. A trance in which nations are competing in terms of who can progress faster, who can build the biggest and fastest airplane, the tallest building, the deadliest weapon and the list is long, whereas our focus should really be on the preservation of human life.

We do not have to wait on cataclysmic events and a foray of disasters, natural and man-made to wake up and realize our missed opportunities for change. Life is fragile and we are not invincible or indispensible. Compassion is reaching out with love, tending to and nurturing souls that constantly cry out for help in all realms of life and yet many of us choose to ignore it.

These thoughts have been expressed by many in the past and present and astonishingly or perhaps not astonishingly, we are getting nowhere fast. Ask ourselves why? Why, because not many of us take the time to stop, stand still and listen to the message the Earth is sending to us and for the believers what God is saying to us!

Life is free, the air we breathe is free, we can breathe as much as we desire, drink water that is free, plant the Earth in abundance but yet we choose to contaminate the environment at will. The people in power, Governments who can promote positive change, promulgate some of these ideas in theory, but do they really act upon it? Empty words and promises to win elections. Proven and shown a definitive no! Instead wars, famine and diseases abound!

We can redirect the “genius” man has been blessed with to promote life, health and produce food in abundance to feed the world. We are the world. Presently we seem to be caught up in a tornado of who can progress faster with seemingly no hope of getting out. A tornado spinning out of control and we will realize this when it's too late!

Quite often the catalyst for change is the death of a loved one to really spur us into action and change our priorities. Priority is the preservation of human life.

We are capable and have the potential of realizing so much more. We can stop, look back at the past; learn from our mistakes and move forward positively with intent to embrace the true meaning of life and what we have been so abundantly blessed with. A beautiful place called Earth! Let us preserve her and aspire for a near utopian world!

CHANGES!

2011-03-10T11:38:00.000-08:00

Constantly changing are the years

Good days, happy days sometimes a tear,

Parallel to the earth's spin

Inevitable is change, without and within

Without change a seed remains a seed

Growth is reflected in our words and deeds,

Wisdom gained, changes our view

Enhancing our vision to see what's true

Understanding life and the human race

In the twilight years it falls into place,

The essence of life is simply “just love”

Shown to us by the One above!

DREAMS AND HOPE

2011-03-10T06:14:00.000-08:00

Never will I stop dreaming
This world is built on dreams and hope
No star too high, no mountain too steep
Nothing is too far to reach

Contemplating life on this wondrous planet
Seeds of our labour will receive favour
Discarding all fears and foil
Harvesting life, it's not a ploy

Frivolous fancies leaves us weak
Humility and divinity we need to aspire
This awesome world still to unfold
The magnificence of life a glory to behold!

Fulfillment: "Patience is a bitter plant but bears much fruit"

I listen to the waves crashing on the shore
My heart beats for you that much more
Holding hands walking on the beach
Nothing in this world is out of reach

Each footprint we make on the sand
Exploring a world that's so grand
My heart, my love, my husband to be
Thank you Dear God, I have found thee

Gazing at the sunset through your eyes
I kiss your soul forgetting all trials
This magnificent love in all its splendor
Eternally embracing with tremendous ardor

Where in the world did you come from?
I know now for sure, my life has just begun!

REMEMBER PARIS!

2011-03-05T13:24:00.001-08:00

Remember Paris, you and me
A sidewalk cafe, having tea
The Eiffel Tower where we kissed
Sharing love’s eternal bliss

Your ring I wear around my heart
Divinely blessed, we’ll never part
Lay your head upon my chest
I’ll bear your burdens, take a rest

Believe in us, love’s truth
Our heart’s desire, since youth
Life’s pains we have seen
Sit beside me, share your dreams

I’ll walk across the fire for you
To see you happy, never blue
Oh my love, listen to your heart
We’ve been blessed from the start!

When a man/woman is anxious he/she cannot pray with faith!

2010-12-19T11:58:00.000-08:00

We were told by our precious Savior: “The very hairs on your head are all numbered: not a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Father.” It would bring a Holy calm over your mind, dear friend, if you were always to remember this.

It would so relieve your mind from anxiety, that you would be the better able to walk in patience, quiet, and cheerfulness as a true child of God. When a man/woman is anxious he/she cannot pray with faith; when he/she is troubled about the world, he/she cannot serve our Master, and his/her thoughts are serving oneself.

If you would seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,” all things would then be added unto you. You are meddling with Christ’s business, and neglecting your own when you fret about your lot and circumstances. You have been trying “providing” work and forgetting that it is yours to obey.

Be wise and attend to the obeying and let Christ manage the providing. Come and survey your Father’s storehouse, and ask whether He will let you starve while He has laid up so great an abundance in His garner? Look at His heart of mercy; see if that can ever prove unkind! Look at His inscrutable wisdom; see if that will ever be at fault.

Above all, look up to Jesus Christ your Intercessor, and ask yourself, while He pleads, can your Father deal ungraciously with you? If He remembers even the sparrows, will He forget one of the least of His poor children? “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee. He will never suffer the righteous to be move!”

“My soul, rest happy in thy low estate,

Not hope nor wish to be esteemed or great;

To take the impress of the Will Divine,

Be that thy glory, and those riches thine!”

THERE ARE NO TEARS IN HEAVEN!

A gentle breeze from Heaven

Softly caresses my soul,

My Father's light enshrouds me

Bursting from love within

There are no tears in Heaven

No pain or hunger too,

Angels sing in harmony

Souls hover in ecstasy

Compassion abounds and overflows

Forgiveness has no price,

Free to fly in bliss

There are no tears in Heaven!

Our time on Earth is brief

Live each moment in love and truth,

Our Father in Heaven patiently awaits

To wrap us in His loving embrace!

MAKE ROOM, MORE GOOD THINGS FOR YOU!

2010-12-02T18:26:00.000-08:00

“I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new”
(Leviticus 26:9–10, NIV)

God wants to bless you and multiply you. He wants to increase you above and beyond what you could ever ask, think or imagine. But sometimes, we fill our lives with so much that we simply don’t have room to receive all that God wants to give us. People fill their lives with good things, noteworthy obligations and impressive accomplishments. But “good” can be the enemy of “best.” We have to take the time to evaluate what we have in our hands and be willing to move some things out in order to make room for the new thing God has for us.

Today, take some time to evaluate your life. Be open to what God wants to do in and through you. If your hands are full, maybe it’s time to use what you have to bless other people. Don’t let holding on to yesterday keep you from God’s best. Instead, make room because He has abundant blessings in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, today I open my hands and my heart to You. I choose to release anything spiritually, physically or emotionally that would keep me from Your best. Search my heart, God, and show me where I need to make adjustments to make room for You, I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Only you can control the doorway to your mind!

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — His good, pleasing and perfect will"
(Romans 12:2, NIV)

Most people have things in their lives that they want to change — old habits, addictions or something they want to overcome. The world offers so many "solutions" to improve your life; but really, the only way we are truly changed, the only way to be permanently transformed is by renewing your mind with the Word of God.

The scripture tells us that we shouldn’t follow the pattern of the world. What is the pattern of the world? It’s the constant striving to do more, be more and want more that only leads to weariness, emptiness and frustration. That’s not what God intends! Instead, focus your thoughts on the Word of God because when you make the Word your number one focus, something supernatural takes place.

Only you can control the doorway to your mind. Nobody can do this for you. You choose what you meditate on and what you set before your eyes. I encourage you to stay on the offensive and diligently guard your mind and heart because when you do things God’s way, you get God’s results — life, peace and joy!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, today I submit myself to You and to Your Word. I invite You to transform me into Your image. Help me to make wise choices and keep me close to You. In the name of Jesus! Amen.

GOD LAUGHS!

2010-10-30T18:29:00.000-07:00

“He who sits in the heavens laughs...” (Psalm 2:4)

Have you ever imagined God laughing in the heavens? Think about it for a moment. Right now, God is on the throne. He’s not mad. He’s not worried about the economy. He’s not upset with you and me. God is full of joy and laughing on the throne. It goes on to tell us in Psalm 37 that He’s laughing because “He can see the destruction of the enemy coming.” In other words, the reason God laughs is because He knows the end of the story. He knows the final outcome. The good news is that you and I win. God always causes us to triumph!

Imagine watching the Super Bowl when you already know the outcome. You already know who is going to win. No matter how far behind the winning team falls, no matter how bad it looks for them, you wouldn’t get upset. You wouldn’t be worried. Why? You’ve got inside information. You know the final outcome. That’s what God is saying to us today. When it gets tough and things don’t look like they’re going to work out, we know that with God we are on the winning team! Today, you can laugh with Him knowing that He has favor, strength and victory in store for your future!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I choose to rest and trust in You. Thank You for bringing victory in every area of my life. Give me opportunities today to share Your joy and love with the people around me, this I ask In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“Aum Tat Sat” I am that

We are one, the earth moon and sun

Respectfully I bow to the God in you

Existing in all that we say and do

Connected by love, we can conquer

Create a balance and not get devoured

Spiritual light permeates us all

Arms of the universe, cradles our fall

Journey of life through time and space

Be not afraid, destiny you can face

Guided by faith we can emulate

Empathy for all His amazing grace

Ask not for more but give in the fore

Embrace humanity, open that door

Radiate peace, love and harmony

Mysteries of God, soon you will see

Reach with your heart, mind, body and soul

Gift of life will certainly unfold,

Feel it, know it, live it, hear it

“Aum Tat Sat” I am that…

HOME AT LAST

2010-10-16T11:19:00.001-07:00

Wow! I have come home!
This is my throne
To sleep with you
And drink of you

What joy, what bliss what love
My heart knows it came from above
I feel you breathe, I listen to your heart
This is a masterpiece of fine art

You are mine and I know in time
I will drink this wine that is so divine
Wishing and hoping and praying
May I one day wear your wedding ring?

I give you my heart, I give you my soul
Even until that day when we grow old
You are my sunshine in all this rain
I know now I will never feel pain

No one in this world can tear us apart
I knew this right from the start!

“HIM” MY ONE TRUE LOVE

2010-10-16T11:18:00.001-07:00

Once again it’s me alone

Moving on to where I belong,

From God I came and to Him I return

Eagerly awaiting the day I’ll be home

Strengthened by faith it’s not too late

I know I stand at Heaven’s gate,

In awe and wonder I gaze into Your eyes

Such truth and honesty, they tell no lies

I can pour my heart and soul into You

You never judge what I say or do,

Such peace and comfort truly exist

Far supercedes earthly bliss

In Him I place my absolute trust

My heart is singing feeling no despair,

Basking in the warmth of Your love

Always and forever my one TRUE LOVE!

HEY VALENTINO!

2010-10-16T11:16:00.001-07:00

My Prince of Valentine, send my wish

Butterfly kisses on my lips,

Red roses at my door

A thousand like never before

Let us waltz the night away

Melting in you, we shall sway

Baby cotton candy dreams

A dash of hope in between

Skipping and jumping on the stars

Earth to Sun, Venus to Mars

My knight, my love, my heartbeat

Without you, I’m incomplete

Hey Valentino! Sing for me

Fulfill my childish fantasy,

I believed in you from birth

I won’t ever, come down to Earth

A red candle burns so bright

For this love, day and night

My songs of love I sing for you

I love you, my Baby Blue!

HEY SUN

2010-10-16T11:15:00.003-07:00

Hey Sun! Don’t hide your face from me

Recreate my reality,

Reinvent your magic potion

That can tame the widest Ocean

I miss my love who’s not with me

He’s on a mission by the sea,

I ache to feel his loving touch

His passionate kisses, I miss so much

Oh my babe, I love you so

I shall never let you go,

Against all odds, I stand by you

Until this day, I have been true

I dream of you when night falls

In blissful sleep, your name I call

Your perfume infuses my senses

With you, I have no defenses!

Envisioning our life together

To the beyond and forever,

Honey, my life I pledge to you

Patiently I await, let’s start anew!

HER LOVE SONG

2010-10-16T11:14:00.000-07:00

Sing to me my lovely one
The bittersweet taste of a love song,
Carry my heart to the sky beyond
Whisper to me before I am gone

This heart knows, no other way
Living out love, come what may
A haunting melody crushes my soul
Can you hear it? As Her story is told

“She lived to love, facing the odds
Living a dream, praying to the gods
Only a heart that sings the same song
Captures her soul, making her belong”

“Oh foolish heart, wake up and see
You are living a fantasy”
Refusing to succumb, she pursues her song
O Love! O Love! To you I belong!

GOODBYE DOESN’T MEAN FOREVER

2010-10-16T11:13:00.001-07:00

“Goodbye doesn’t mean forever”
Memories linger in our hearts for ever,
Although we may choose different paths
From my heart you’ll never depart

The words are few, but you comprehend
This love we have will never end,
A pillar of strength you are to me
Comforting me, in my silent plea

My friend, my love, wherever you go
My prayers, my heart, always will follow
From across the oceans, I’ll come to you
For you see, my heart, has always been true

Perhaps one day the pain will subside
Day by day, taking all in stride
I may never utter these words to you
Just look into my eyes, you’ll see they are true!

The tenderness and warmth in your voice reflect
A love and sincerity, I respect
An ODE to you, I offer with a tear
May you live long, without any despair!

GOD’S PLAN

2010-10-11T19:06:00.001-07:00

The darkest hour has drawn nigh

But I shall never question why,

God’s plan is never straight forward

Forever he gives our just reward

This rocky mountain is hard to climb

Deserted by friends somewhat unkind,

A solitary walk on glass and fire

God’s light and faith is my attire

Holding His hand in implicit trust

Wavering never, until I’m dust

Surrendering mind, spirit and soul

My beautiful Lord keeps me whole

A rainbow of hope is on its way

Miracles happen every day,

In my path I see His light

Forever in my heart His love burns bright

GEM OF A TEACHER!

2010-10-11T19:05:00.001-07:00

TO "ANN"
My teacher, my friend, nurturing your desire
Intent on imparting knowledge you acquire
Gallant in heart, graceful in soul
Life’s mysteries you eagerly wait to unfold

Captivating ideas, never trivial to pursue
Analytical mind enveloping the new
With tenacity you comprehend, what needs to attend
Vivaciously engaging concepts you portend

Embracing life with a marvelous refrain
Disdain twas never your acclaim
Epitome of a gem you represent
Garnishing a strength that never relents!

Articulate by nature never vain in your stature
Infinitely kind, guiding with fervour
Mirroring respect, uplifting with zeal
Perfect image of a teacher, such depth you reveal!

Author's Comments:
"This poem is about my teacher whom I met at age eleven. Not often do we meet people who make a very deep impact in our lives, but when we do we should treasure them. ANN this is for YOU! Thank you for coming back into my life and being a friend. May you always continue to be that guiding light in the many lives you have touched! "

FROM THE HEART!

2010-10-11T19:04:00.001-07:00

You walked into my life from the rain
Uplifted my heart, despite the pain
Showed me how to fly free
Each day your love comforts me

Thank you for the lovely moments
Leaves me each day in bewildered enchantment
The fun and laughter that we share
There’s no room for a single tear

Two souls searching for true love
Fit each other like a perfect glove,
The beauty of you I see in me
Complimenting each other perfectly

FRIVOLOUS

2010-10-11T19:03:00.003-07:00

Why dwell in futility

Fly with love it will set you free

Allow positive thoughts to prevail

Knowing that you would not fail

Yes! We have all been stung by pain

Fruitless it is, embracing it again and again

Free will allows us to choose

Whether we win or loose

Endless tears your eyes have shed

Vision blurred when all seemed red

O! Bleeding heart with such misery and pain

The grace of God will flourish again!

© Reanty Marajh 2006

FOREVER

2010-10-11T19:03:00.001-07:00

My love for you will never die

Even if you say goodbye,

All I desire is your happiness

Without pain or any sadness

Blessed be the path that you choose

May you win and never lose,

Find peace and joy in your home

And may you never be alone

Enjoy life at your leisure

Days of bliss and pleasure,

Live life to the fullest

Set goals without limits

Pursue dreams that you cherish

See it blossom and flourish,

Always walk in God’s light

And darkness will shine bright!

FINDING ME!

2010-10-11T19:02:00.001-07:00

I hear My Lord beckoning me
Come my child I will comfort thee
Arms outstretched, wings outspread
Engulfing my soul that's torn to shreds

Fame and fortune I seek not
Content I am with what I've got
Music to my ears is so devine
Drifting on a song is perfectly sublime

Soaring like an eagle, free in flight
Absorbing nature in all its delight
Simple me and fancy free
Contemplating a life that's meant for ME!

FANTASY

2010-10-11T19:01:00.000-07:00

Don’t let the sun go down on me

Allowing my mind to run free,

Meet me in Genoa, Italy

Romancing the night, until three

Donning your favorite negligee

Musky scent of blue sachet,

Breathing the sight and sounds of you

Strawberries and champagne, perfect for two

Close the shutter, dim the lights

The magic of us will shine bright,

Serenaded by lover’s chant

Seeds of desire that we plant

Passionate whispers until dawn

Awakening to a satisfied yawn,

Reveling in lover’s ecstasy

Fulfilling every fantasy!

SICKNESS HAS A LIMIT!

2010-08-17T01:52:00.000-07:00

SICKNESS HAS A LIMIT!

In all sickness, the Lord said to the waves of pain, “Hitherto shall ye go, but no further.” His fixed purpose is not the destruction, but the instruction of His people. Wisdom hangs up the thermometer at the furnace mouth, and regulates the heat.

The limit is encouragingly comprehensive. The God of providence has limited the time, manner, intensity, repletion, and effects of all our sicknesses; each throb is decreed, each sleepless hour predestinated, each relapse ordained, each depression of spirit foreknown, and each sanctifying result eternally purposed. Nothing great or small escapes the ordaining hand of Him who numbers the hairs on our head.

The limit is wisely adjusted to our strength, to the end designed, and to the grace apportioned. Affliction comes not at haphazard – the weight of every stroke of the rod is accurately measured. He who made no mistakes in balancing the clouds and meting out the heavens, commits no errors in measuring out the ingredients which compose the medicine of souls. We cannot suffer too much nor be relieved too late.

The limit is tenderly appointed. The knife of the Heavenly Surgeon never cuts deeper than is absolutely necessary. “He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve His children.” A mother’s heart cries, “Spare my child:; but no mother is more compassionate than our gracious God. When we consider how hard-mouthed we are, it is a wonder that we are not driven with a sharper bit. The thought is full of consolation, that He who has fixed the bounds of our habitation, has also fixed the bounds of our tribulation.

Authorized by SGA:

ENCHANTED MIRACLE!

ENCHANTED MIRACLE

Fulfillment: "Patience is a bitter plant but bears much fruit"

I listen to the waves crashing on the shore
My heart beats for you that much more
Holding hands walking on the beach
Nothing in this world is out of reach

Each footprint we make on the sand
Exploring a world that's so grand
My heart, my love, my husband to be
Thank you Dear God, I have found thee

Gazing at the sunset through your eyes
I kiss your soul forgetting all trials
This magnificent love in all its splendor
Eternally embracing with tremendous ardor

Where in the world did you come from?
I know now for sure, my life has just begun!

EBBING TIDE!

2010-08-16T16:57:00.001-07:00

EBBING TIDE

Our desire for love is very great
Alluding to fears, we contemplate
The many whys to close the door
Scarred by love that existed before

Growth is a process learned from pain
Rainbows are born after the rain,
Love is not perfection but needs direction
It can be harnessed by paying attention

Love is not a dream but a living reality
As the ebbing tide, complex in its simplicity
A rose is a rose but carries a thorn
Handle it gently or blood will be shorn

With grand expectations of love’s magnificent splendor
Futility persists despite our endeavors,
Only with faith, we can propagate
A lifetime of love that won’t dissipate!

DREAMS AND HOPE !

DREAMS AND HOPE

Never will I stop dreaming
This world is built on dreams and hope
No star too high, no mountain too steep
Nothing is too far to reach

Contemplating life on this wondrous planet
Seeds of our labor will receive favor
Discarding all fears and foil
Harvesting life, it's not a ploy

Frivolous fancies leave us weak
Humility and divinity we need to seek,
This awesome world still to unfold
The magnificence of life a glory to behold!

DREAMING AGAIN

Candle lit dinner, table for two
Red rose blossoms, I love you
Butterfly kisses on the palm of my hand
Dance with me in Never Never land

Let’s take a dive in the ocean so deep
Where mermaids and fairies never weep,
Do you hear the gentle whisper?
Of blossoming love, that’s so tender

A Minstrel I am, roaming the earth
Searching for love that won’t hurt
Hello Life! Won’t you play?
Send me a dream without delay

O Grace! O Grace! Sing to me
May I never, ever awaken from this reverie!

DOWNTRODDEN!

DOWNTRODDEN

My heart cries for you my friend

You believing your heart won’t mend,

At your impasse wondering why

Your love he shunned, saying goodbye

Dedication and love you gave through the years

Children you bore despite your fears,

Somehow love has lost its voice

Believing now you have no choice

Endlessly weeping in despair

Life can sometimes be unfair,

Trust in the Lord as I pray with you

Our Lord’s promise is very true

Your pain is deep this I know

But life’s events allow you to grow,

With faith in God your heart will tend

The Lord will always be your friend!

DISTANT SOUL!

2010-08-16T16:53:00.001-07:00

DISTANT SOUL

My love for you remains constant

Even when you are distant,

I wish you victory in your plight

Knowing it’s a continuous, struggle and fight

The heavy burdens that weigh you down

Detracts from the days and nights you are worn,

The silent moans I hear when you speak

Distance you further and hard to reach

Living in your mind and constant visions

Finding truths by apparition,

Indelible blisters, resurfaces from the past

Constantly haunts and daunts life’s tasks

The torch of pain you carry so bravely

Reflects strength instilled by the almighty,

Your walk with God fulfilling your destiny

Placates the pain with absolute victory!

DEAREST CUPID!

2010-08-16T16:52:00.001-07:00

DEAREST CUPID!

It’s raining in my heart today

Dearest Cupid, won’t you stay?

Shoot your arrows at random

Teach me love’s wisdom

Weeping willow rustles a tune

As angels flitter around the moon,

Magical incense, poetic dance

Leaving lovers in a trance

Innocent love, untarnished and pure

Live love’s truth, expecting no more

The color of love is your perfume

Which I give birth from my womb

The midnight hour has no rest

To love’s truth, I gave my best

For every heart that’s been broken

Universal law demands a token

Adieu to love, one last kiss!

Reminiscent of days in bliss,

Take your wings and fly free

In quiet moments, remember me!

COURAGE AND CONVICTION!

2010-08-16T16:44:00.001-07:00

COURAGE AND CONVICTION!

From the inception, God guided your direction

Your knowledge and intellect, command great respect

Superbly articulate, your words they demonstrate

Humble in demeanor, yet emanating grandeur

Spiritual by nature, unquestionable faith

Never unfocused of man’s downhill plight,

A messenger from heaven you were sent

To inspire and encourage without intent

Politics of the world, complicates your soul

Perniciousness, you cannot condone,

Truth is your scepter, you will not compromise

Relenting to none, firmly standing your ground

Life on a platter, fearless of disaster

Cognizant you are, to answer to your Master

For God you know, is the final arbiter

No matter where you may wonder!

Author’s Comment

A man of vision, courage and conviction; who despite

adversities, fearlessly and tirelessly perseveres in bringing to light,

the injustices of this World, irrespective of the consequences

as to whom or where it may lead.

CONVICTION!

2010-08-13T00:39:00.001-07:00

CONVICTION

Trekking through this barren land

No food to eat all is sand,

Looking into her baby’s eyes

Pleading for food before he dies

An exodus of people side by side

Unrelenting Sun, no where to hide

No Shelter as far as the eye could see

O dear God! Such misery

Where is our conscience and why can’t we see?

Whilst living in luxury and fantasy,

Combined efforts can alleviate misery

By simply deleting the unnecessary

Pangs of hunger pines the inside

As the world looks on far and wide,

Destitute and hurting in forlorn

Yet our hearts do not mourn!

Author’s Comments

We can give without loving but we can’t love without giving. In the like manner we can have courage without conviction but we cannot have conviction without courage. Courage allows us to become cognizant of the suffering of people’s predicament, but conviction inspires us to lend a helping hand!

CANTOURING DREAMS AND REALITY!

2010-08-13T00:34:00.001-07:00

CONTOURING DREAMS AND REALITY

Perhaps reality is our dream

A sheet of embers it may seem,

Just by sifting through the ashes

We may find our wishes

As terra firma transforms to liquid

Molten lava can become solid,

Shape shifting too is our knowledge

Enlightening us in our bondage

With realization comes sensibility

Contouring dreams into reality,

This paradox spells a theme

Parallel to the evolutionary scheme

Growth is reflected in our comprehension

The magnanimity of life’s dimension,

Landscaping reality into dreams

Creates a perfect blend of In-Between!

COME TO SHORE!

COME TO SHORE!

I pray each day, God keeps you safe

You are blessed with amazing grace,

May your kindness be, returned tenfold

A beautiful soul, a thousand years old

Never daunted by mountainous tasks

Nurtured by courage, you never ask

Deep in your eyes, a sea of memories

Your passion for life brings new discoveries

This bountiful earth on which you stand

Was created by your Father’s hand,

Don’t ever lose your sense of wonder

This universe is yours to discover,

Cast your net, come to shore!

Release your burdens that existed before,

Donning your robe of white and gold

Your complex journey will unfold!

CLIMBING ON RAINBOWS!

CLIMBING ON RAINBOWS

Sighing I breathe your name

This love is a burning flame,

Each day the Sun, rises in your voice

In loving you, there is no choice

Life seems empty without you

Can’t love another, to you, I’m true

Can’t comprehend this love without end

With my life, you, I defend

Climbing on Rainbows each day

Beautiful memories in replay,

Loving is an act of will

Even when dreams, aren’t fulfilled

This precious love, I do cherish

In mine eyes you have no blemish,

Ask me to fetch you the Sun

I shall, before the day is done

You may wander to find your way

My love for you will not stray,

You are my last dying wish

This I shall, seal with a kiss!

CLIMATICAL DREAM!

CLIMATICAL DREAM

"To a dream realized"

Where have you been all of my life?
My heart exuberates; can I be your wife?
I wonder into your eyes and I see
Everything in life I can be

You are my portion in this troubled world
Can I hold your hands as we grow old?
Your beautiful eyes your lovely voice
O! My Love, you are my choice

I tremble at the thought of losing you
How can I live without you?
With you in my life I feel so strong
In mine eyes you can do no wrong

Your heart of gold I love so much
I shudder at the thought of your tender touch
You are the dream I have waited for
Thanks to God, I ask for nothing more...

""What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope for the meaning of life." [Emil Burnner] In my first poem it ended abruptly, because though I felt love it was still precarious at that moment. However, without equivocation, I know now that the love I found is for a "lifetime". My heart is no longer troubled, for I see better tomorrows."

CLANDESTINE

Clandestine meetings, hidden in the dark
The thrill of the kisses, exchanged in the park
A rendezvous here, doing it with flare
Your baby in your arms, truth or dare

The smell of her perfume sparks desires
Fanning the flame of mutual fires,
Executing love that’s under your spell
Your elegant charm manipulates so well

Stalking your prey, going for the kill
Enhances the excitement of the thrill,
These secret lovers, in a world of their own
Wondering, what type of seed is being sown!

Beautiful wings, magnificent display

Warmth of love encircled me

Awakening my heart to sing in glee

Most caring eyes I’ve ever seen

Softly whispering where have you been?

Come explore the world with me

Fly on my wings, I’ll set you free

Embracing me close we soared so high

Heavenly perfume, I breathe with a sigh

Whirlwind of love fills my soul

Cherishing this dream is my goal!

CHARADE!

CHARADE

God’s love is ablaze and faithfully

Steering us through our misery,

He is with us when we are weak

Inspiring the humble and the meek

Dazed and confused as to His plan

Forever, he holds, our hand,

He lifts our hearts up on high

Even when we question why

Like adolescents, playing charade

Unconcerned in our masquerade,

Patiently He waits with His infinite wisdom

Forgiving the wrongs, we have said and done

El Shaddai, You sacrificed your Son

To suffer on the cross, for everyone

Ultimate was the price You paid from above

To restore us with peace and love!

CASUALTIES OF LOVE!

2010-08-10T17:36:00.001-07:00

CASUALTIES OF LOVE

True love presents many faces

Recognizing it takes many graces,

Even when presented, on a beautiful platter

We toss it away, choosing disaster

Intrinsically perplexing, thoughts of love prevail

Analyzing every minute detail,

Allowing the clutter, to magnify

Inevitably chaos will multiply

Casualties of love manifest itself

When we self-destruct our true self,

We are complex entities in our abilities

Elusive to us, are love’s intricacies

There are no compromises to love’s palate

Only truth and honesty, can it relate

When true love departs our gate

Recognizing it, but often it’s too late!

CAPTURE LIFE!

2010-08-10T17:35:00.001-07:00

CAPTURE LIFE!

Life is ever changing
Hearts breaking and mending
The beauty of it all
Is how we stand tall

Capture the love
That was sent from above
Give with your heart
It can become an art

A simple touch
Can mean so much
Smile with your eyes
For they tell no lies

A Happy place
This world can be
Giving and loving
Generously!

CAN WE PURCHASE A DREAM?

CAN WE PURCHASE A DREAM?

Is it possible to purchase a dream?

A beautiful life where no one is mean,

A world of hope and no bitterness

Pure goodness and joy with no malice

What is the cost can you tell?

Have we been cast under an evil spell?

Such hate, lies and deceit exist

Please tell me, why we persist

Co-existing in a peaceful world

Is worth more than oil and gold,

Blending harmony and love within

Sincere prayer is where we begin

Perhaps, we can find the answers in ourselves

Not looking to blame anyone else,

Open our hearts, examine it closely

Or we will certainly usurp misery!

BLESSINGS OF RESPLENDENCY

Head against your shoulders, I come alive, my senses reel!
Exuding warmth, this wondrous desire
Hearts on fire, my cup runneth over
Engulfed in you, we are one

This blazing love never ending
I know it's just the beginning
Core of my soul churning and yearning
Burning flames of love eternally bright

Days of efficacy leisure and love
The joy of you, blissfully new
We are the world, our haven, our hut
Peacefully dreaming, protected from above

Unquenchable thirst, drinking of love
Uncharted waters found its course
Steadfast and strong, I know we belong
I knew not a life, till you came along...

ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE!

ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE!

Falling in love can be wonderful

Even confusing, sometimes painful

Life’s game, plays tricks

Flickering like a candle wick

You gave me wings to fly free

To find my place in another tree,

But what is life, without you?

When dreams of us won’t come true

The might of love, leaves me weak

An ocean’s depth cannot speak,

Just breathing is not living

But loving you is breathing

O! Callous world, where’s your balm?

Soothe my wounds, work your charm

Love’s agony and ecstasy, undefined

Silhouette of being, faceless time

Love like this, won’t come again

Search the earth, till the end

Perhaps in love, we’ll embrace

Another time, another place!

ALWAYS AND FOREVER!

Stay with me always
Walk with me through life
Hold my hands and witness the sunrise
Lets take each step together day by day

This love is real
This love is true
This love is beautiful for me and you

Fly with me
Lets soar in the sky and never ask why

My heart is singing
I know not the words
It is a love that is grand...

Our heart’s desires the good Lord knows

We need to recognize this when it shows,

With free will, we can always choose

Our choices determine, win or lose

The world was created with love and hope

Embracing this, we can always cope

The key to life is living in love

Instilled in us by the Lord above

His wishes are our command

It may not be what we planned,

He protects the sincere and innocents

Always providing with unending patience

At the end of the day, love is all that matters

Even if our dreams seem to shatter,

With faith and hope we can greet each day

Propelled by His strength come what may!

My thoughts are centered on you

There’s no escaping a love that’s true,

The love we share goes beyond

This earthly realm that keeps us bound

I miss the sound of your voice at nights

Remembering when you held me tight,

My love, my love I ache to breathe

The warmth of your heart is all I need

May I have this dance of life with you?

Discover a world that’s brand new,

Cherish each moment like never before

Reaching the gates of heaven’s door

I’ll dream of you on warm summer nights

Oh honey, you are my perfect delight,

Caress my soul, fill my mind

My baby, my love you are one of a kind!

AFTER LIVING!

AFTER LIVING

Does your heart still beat for me?

Am I a distant memory?

Placed my heart in a box to sleep

No more tears, it won’t weep

Buckets of tears, I have shed

For your love, my heart bled

A cry in the wilderness, yes that’s me

Under a distant shady tree

Believed in angels and fairies

Not once did I grow weary,

Until the day love walked away

Leaving my heart in dismay

Mind, body and soul, gave my all

Never did I expect to fall,

Romeo and Juliet, I believed

Sadly awakened, taking my leave

With God’s grace, I shall save face

In His home, I have a place

Perhaps one day I shall find rest

After living and giving my best!

Laughter in your soul
A wonder to behold!

Through trials and strife, weather the storm

Living together in harmony

Complimenting each other faithfully

Giving of oneself and complete trust

Understanding and compassion is a must,

Blossoming in each other’s eyes

Without ever having to try

A giving love wants nothing in return

Displaying only love and concern,

By always seeking the best for each other

Peace and love they will discover!

A WALK IN HEAVEN!

2010-08-07T17:25:00.001-07:00

A WALK IN HEAVEN

I know not what tomorrow will bring

But for now I will sing,

“Tempest tossed believer” I am

Without fear I hold God’s hand

A walk in Heaven is my dream

Singing with Angels, pure and clean

The sun is shining, yes I see!

A magnificent rainbow follows me

In my heart I built a throne

There God resides, I am not alone

O! Wondrous Father I embrace thee

Imperfect I am, you cleansed me!

A SABBATICAL!

2010-08-07T17:23:00.001-07:00

A SABBATICAL!

This heart of mine still beats for you

My love for you remains true,

Sometimes we need a sabbatical

To solve what’s critical

My journey towards your shining star

I shall find where ever you are,

A true heart wins in the end

Despite the twists and turns around the bend

Words spewed in anger and passion

Results in an adverse reaction,

A love that’s understanding and complete

Can accomplish any feat

The moments we share are precious

Even when thoughts are ambiguous,

My heart aches for you each day

But with faith we’ll find a way.

A PLEA!

2010-08-07T17:22:00.001-07:00

A PLEA!

With Your love and amazing grace

In this world, I’ll find my place

Whenever these bones are weary and weak

The solace of You is all I seek

“God, you alone know what’s in my heart”

Until that day when I depart,

I seek your guidance for my life’s path

On bended knees, please listen to my heart!

This bleeding heart knows misery and pain

Finding comfort in you, again and again

These chains that have me constantly bound

Release me, O! Lord to where I belong

On this day Lord! I humbly pray

Please guide me through life’s disarray!

A LITTLE LIFE!

2010-08-07T17:21:00.000-07:00

A LITTLE OF LIFE

Life presents many faces

Encountering them in many places

A newborn baby radiant in its splendor

Exuding innocence, behold a wonder!

Whisper of the breeze, birds hovering in the trees

Subtle hint of morning dew

Droplets of diamonds on petals of white

Perfumed blossoms O what a delight!

Warm gentle sunlight caressing my skin

Basking in the glory of nature's might

Beauty emanates, this amazing grace

Just one of the faces; one of the places!

THE SPIDER'S WEB!

2010-08-06T19:27:00.001-07:00

THE SPIDER’S WEB”

“RELIGIOUS RITUALS ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SPIRITUAL ‘ONENESS’ WITH GOD.”

“They weave the spider’s web.” Isaiah 59:5

See the spider’s web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of not the “spiritual,” but of “religion.” It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape.

Phillip baptized Simon Magus, whose guileful declaration of faith was so soon exploded by the stern rebuke of Peter. Custom, reputation, praise, advancement, and other flies, are the small game which religion take in their nets. A spider’s web is a marvel of skill: look at it and admire the cunning hunter’s wiles. It not a deceiver’s religion equally wonderful! How does he make so barefaced a lie appear to be truth? How can he make tinsel answer so well the purpose of gold?

A spider’s web comes all from the creature’s own bowels. The bee gathers her wax from flowers, the spider sucks no flowers, and yet she spins out her material to any length. Even so the religious (not the righteous) find their trust and hope within themselves; and their anchor was forged on their own anvil, and their cable twisted by their own hands. They lay their own foundation, and hew out the pillars of their own house, disdaining to be debtors to the sovereign grace of God.

But a spider’s web is very frail. It is curiously wrought, but not enduringly manufactured. It is no match for the servant’s broom, or the traveler’s staff. The religious (not the righteous) needs no battery of Armstrong to blow his hope to pieces; a mere puff of wind will do it. Hypocritical cobwebs will soon come down when the besom of destruction begins it purifying work.

We should be reminded of one more thought; that such cobwebs are not to be endured in the Lord’s house: He will see to it that they and those who spin them shall be destroyed for ever. “O my soul, rest on the something better then a spider’s web. Be the Lord Jesus thine eternal hiding-place.”

THINGS WHICH CANNOT BE SHAKEN!

2010-08-06T19:25:00.001-07:00

“Those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Hebrews 12:27

We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be shaken, and it ill becomes the child of God to set much store by them, for there is nothing stable beneath those rolling skies; change is written upon all things. Yet, we have certain “things which cannot be shaken,” and I invite you this day to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken should all be taken away, you may derive comfort from the things that cannot be shaken, which will remain.

What ever your losses have been, or may be, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of His cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus’ precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in Him; no breaking of the banks, no failures of bankruptcies can touch that. If you are untouched this day, then you are a child of God. God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that.

Although by losses brought to poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, “He is my Father still. In my Father’s house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled.” You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ. He who is God and Man love you with all the strength of His affectionate nature – nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, “My Beloved is mind, and I am His.” Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot lose.

Whatever troubles come, let us remain the child of God; let us show that we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting state of time. Our country is Immanuel’s land, our hope is above the sky, and therefore, calm as the summer’s ocean; we will see the wreck of everything earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation!

Note: Immanuel is Hebrew and translates – “God with us.”

STAND STILL!

2010-08-06T19:22:00.001-07:00

STAND STILL!

Dedicated to: Our Lord

In moments of darkness and despair

The Lord is with you, do not fear

Though the road, may be long and rough

His love for us is more than enough

Step by step He holds our hands

When we are weak and cannot stand,

Close your eyes, surrender to His glory

Feel His love, full of mercy

Stand still, listen to that inner voice

With free will we can make the choice,

Stand still, bask in His light

You shall be cleansed, clean and bright

Stand still, let His arms surround you

And you’ll see His love is true,

All it takes is a little faith

He always delivers and never too late!

INFINITE LOVE!

2010-08-06T18:55:00.001-07:00

“O Lord of hosts, how long will thou not have mercy upon me? And the Lord answered with good words and comfortable words.” Zechariah 1:12-13

What a sweet answer to an anxious enquiry! This day rejoice in it. O child of God, there are good things in store for thee; thy time of travail shall soon be over; thy captivity shall end. Bear patiently the rod for a season and under the darkness still trust in God, for His love burns towards thee. God loves you with a love too deep for human imagination; He loves you with all His infinite heart.

Therefore, be of good courage; you cannot be far from prosperity to whom God speaks “good words and comfortable words.” What these comfortable words are, the prophet goes on to tell us: “I am jealous for you with a great jealousy.” The Lord loves you so much that He cannot bear that you should go astray to others; and if you have done so, He cannot endure that you should suffer too much or too heavily.

He will not have His enemies afflict you; He is displeased with them because they increase in your misery. When it seems that God has left you, know His heart is warm towards you. History shows that whenever God uses a rod to chasten His servants, He always breaks it afterwards, as if He loathed the rod which gave His children pain. “Like a father pities his children, so the Lord pities them that fear Him.” God has not forgotten you!

You may fear that God has passed you by, but it is not so. He who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting you. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made or the only saint He ever loved. Approach Him and be at peace! AMEN!
