I Am Pure and Living Water
To you, who believe on My Name.
I offer you love and forgiveness.
I bore your scorn and shame.
I Am the Lion of the Tribe Of Judah.
I Am the Seed Of Abraham.
I am your Undeserved Acceptance.
I AM The Lord... I AM.
I defeated death and hell.
I rose miraculous from the grave,
And although you struggle in this life,
It was you I came to Save.
Every tear that falls from your eyes,
The dark nights of sorrow that strangle your soul,
And for the doubts that invade your mind...
I ever live to make you whole.
Look into my searching eyes
And you will see a friend.
Give me what's left of your longing heart
And I'll keep you through the end.
All that My Father gives Me
I will never cast away.
I treasure each soul of my dear ones.
I sit beside My Father... and I pray.
Dear Father:
Though my little ones may fail you
My Blood has covered it all.
My Spirit will bring them through
Though at times they may stumble and fall.
Your children are stricken, and laden
With the lies and deceits of the earth.
As the veil lifts, they'll be victorious,
All who know me through Salvation's rebirth.
I'll draw them to You, though they fail,
And act like it's better their way.
Through My Spirit they will no longer wander
As they experience my soul-refining Grace!
Thank you, Lord!!

Dear Lord,
Teach us to be longsuffering
Though we may not understand.
Who are we to judge one another
When we don't see all of Your Plan??

Thanks, Brother!!
I am ill with the flu and was watching "Ben Hur"...the great movie with Charleton Heston. There was a scene where Jesus leaned over to give Ben Hur a drink of water as he was being taken as a prisoner. The guard came to chase Jesus away. Jesus looked into the guards eyes. The guard was plainly convicted and stricken and he walked away. The looks on their faces...Ben's and the guard's was fabulous.
I started thinking about what Jesus has done in my life and what He wants to do in everyone's lives and this poem came to me. I thank The Lord for it...and thank you for reading this poem and for the nice comment!
Many Blessings to you and your family,
Cathy(Forgiven!!) |

Thank you so much my precious sister for the reminder of Who Jesus is, and what He has done for us. I'm encouraged and strengthened, even the more, from reading this anointed poem. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and allowing the Lord to use you, even when you, yourself, are faced with obstacles. What a powerful witness and testimony this is. Bless His Holy Name!
Love you,
Margie |

LOL, Mike! I wouldn't call that stealing... Let's call it a discovery! :) Cathy, I'll show you this hidden closet! Right above the "Leave a comment" field, next to the box that's saying "Add a star", you see a small star. Just click on it and drag to the comment field! (It may not work on your owl blog, but you can try it out on someone else's.) =D This way I can star my favorite posts as much as I want: ;) "His Spirit is the only reason that any of us can be used by Him at all!!" - AMEN!!! =) |
