GODS REST IN THE MIDST OF A STORM
A Maverick roll in high and fierce
Deafening drones lost in its
relentless path
Tunnel’s of froth majestic in their
descent
As a I traverse the tempestuous sea
Your love and mercy
Feeds my tired soul
In the midst of the storm within
I know my landing is secure
In the centre I see a White Form
Grant me Lord
That I guard the shores of Your peace
Boisterous waves of emotions flee
As I flow in the gentle rhythms of
Your Grace
Finally, still in the quiet presence of
Your rest
Maria
DIALOGUE WITH GOD - TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FATHER!!
God chose an earthen Vessel
Fashioned from lowly clay
Stripped of Heavens Glory
For all man’s sins to pay
Christ passed the baton over
To my trembling human hand
Then my Saviour whispered
“Child it’s time to take a stand
I called you as an eagle
To soar the heights above
I come beneath your wings of clay
That you may know this flight of Love
The circumstances of your life
Shook the earth beneath your feet
But it was My unseen hand that turned your
face
My unwavering gaze to meet”
“I submit my heart before You
As You charter my life’s course
A faithful loving Father
You are my only source”
My spirit knows no boundaries
As I embark upon this race
My overwhelming passion to share His matchless
Grace
“you are the apple of my eye
Your name inscribed upon my Hand
Now pass the baton on
So that others too may stand” Maria
THAT GOD
SHOULD LOVE THE HUMAN BEING WITH THE SAME LOVE THAT HE LOVED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN
SON IS A MAJESTIC REVELATION
“The supreme
revelation which towers above the rest, like some great banyan tree amid the
slenderer growth of the Indian Forest, is that the Creator should indwell and
find a mansion in the heart of His creatures” JB Meyer
This is why
we can “Love the Lord Thy God with all thy soul and all thy heart”
Yet
multitudes live a separated life from an awareness of God let alone His all
prevailing love for mankind.
THIS BRINGS
ME TO ANOTHER POINT; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SECOND COMMANDMENT;
“Love one another”
Church Splits, Offended Christians, Broken
Christian Relationships, Lack of Honour for Spiritual Fathers and Mothers,
Factions, Serious Doctrinal Differences; so, the long list goes on.
What happened to our submission to Christ’s
Prayer?
“Father that they may be one as We are one”
The early church knew the Glory of God because
they existed for the Glory of God
The early church did not have any need because
they lived for the common good.
The early church submitted to one another
because fundamentally they knew they were part of a Spiritual Body.
Today these truths are secondary. Many
believers think the church exists to benefit them, forgetting that they are the
“church “but for the Grace of God to benefit the world
IT IS A
GRAVE SIN TO SHUN ONES ERSTWHILE SHEPHERDS, FELLOW BELIEVERS BROTHERS AND
SISTERS;
The wounded
body should be primary yet it is shunned as a secondary issue.
ONE LIMB OF
THE BODY OF CHRIST cannot say to another limb “you are unacceptable therefore I
cut you off
“Learn to
revere the work of God in the souls of others. Destroy not the soul for whom
Christ died and in whom Christ lives! Weak and erring, trying and vexatious thy
fellow believer may yet be, yet there is a chamber in his nature in which God
has already taken up abode.
The conflict
between that which is of the spirit and that which is of the flesh may be long
and arduous but the fact remains. Assist but do not hinder the process. Be
reverent, careful and mindful of the presence of God in another. “JB Meyer
Do
not judge another’s walk as the Husbandmen holds the compass.
We
want the Power without the Price.
We
want the Glory without the Obedience.
Seek ye
first!
Seek ye
first!
So arise today
Blessed by all things,
Wings of breath,
Delight of eyes,
