We were first individuals

Seeking out our own things

Until we got married

And then the  painting changed

We became one

And became more alike

With the same motivation

That everlasting life

Heirs together 

of the grace of life

Due benevolence for each other

Husband and wife

Not seeking each his own

But the cares of the other

A desire to be blameless and

A good father and mother

To train our children

The way they should go

To fill them with the Word

So God's love they'll know

Voluntary Humility

The covering of Glory is hair so long and free.....

The covering of humility 

will bring you to your knees....

It will put you in reality, your life is not your own....

Covered in humility, let's the Glory of God be shown......

"Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord, she will be praised.....

You are the daughter of a King, his grace you so desire...

The Power of the Holy Ghost to lift you from the mire.....

Desiring to pray without ceasing, the testimony of Jesus Christ.....

Where else can I go, Lord you have the words of Eternal Life......

My beauty is for my husband, for Him and Him alone....

I am created to be His help meet, i am bone of his bones........

Christ is the Head of him and He is the Head of me.....

How can I dishonor my husband and think that I will have favor from thee??

"By Humility and the fear of the Lord, are riches, and honour, and life"........

I want to live forever Lord, please make me a virtuous wife!!!

Be kindly affectionate

Love like a brother

Giving up our will

Preferring one another

Do things first

That others want

Your desires can wait

Teach yourself to go last 

With a smile upon your face

Find the joy of going last

Of the King, you are taught

A lesson in patience

That with money can't be bought  

The King who came to earth,

Not to sit in an earthly castle

Acting like he was better than others

That was not his battle

He surely sat with the sinners

Who he was sent to save

If there was not a seat

His spot he would've gave

The perfect picture of humility

Was Jesus on this earth

We can be like him

If we experience a new birth

  

Joy cometh in the morning,

It cometh in the night,

Joy is in everything

To those who have seen the Light

He teaches you to love

Those who show you hate

They cannot understand 

Your joy they cannot take

The joy is in the little things

It is in the way you see

Each trial that comes before you

The joy will set you free

You need not worry about this and that, your life is in His hands

Allowing him to direct your paths, following his commands

You'll find joy at every corner,

In things you don't expect

He uses every trial

To make you circumspect

It was because he love us first

That we also must love him

He is the joy that created us

We must give up this life for Him!

She was just a harlot

But The truth she did know

She hid the secret spies

A fear of God she showed

Her family got the benefit

Of her secret deed

While those around her perished

God presrved her seed

What does this story mean to us

That happened so long ago?

When God destoys a city

What will happen to your home?

Will there be a scarlet cord Protecting  those that are in your care

Will your home alone be saved

I wonder how you'll fare

You can help your destiny 

 by fighting every day

Seek the Lord with all your heart

To idols, do not pray

As for me and my house

Joshua told the Israelites

The Lord we will serve

All day and all of the night

What this means to me

My hope and my desire

Is that when God returns

He'll find us still on fire

  

 

Choose your words wisely

( Jephthae is mentioned in Hebrews 11 as a man of Faith)

The son of a harlot

Kicked out of his home

Then asked to defend them

He was not all alone

He knew the Lord

With him made a deal

The victory was his

First thing out of his house the seal

Not knowing it would be

His only child

His daughter, a virgin

The one at his side

She wailed for her virginity

With her closest friends

Her life was then offered

An untimely end

What was the lesson

For Jephthae this time

Choose your words wisely

Taste every line.

 In the midst of the sea,

Toiling and trying to row,

With contrary winds,

That seem continually to blow

He would have passed by,

Had they not out loud cried,

He went up with them in the ship,

And immediately the wind died (Mark 6:48-49)

I can't grab the helm

Nor think my hair white or black (Matthew 5:36)

Help me trust fully in You

And in faith have no lack (Mark 9:24)

I need you to join me

And whisper "Be not afraid" (Matthew 14:27)

Through all of the watches

Help me to be like unto soft clay

Mark 6:48-49

And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 

 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. 

Matthew 5:36

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Mark 9:24

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Matthew 14:27

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Talitha cumi

Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 

Jesus told the twelve year old girl

Astonishment filled their eyes

He commanded that no one should tell

And asked for her to be fed

He had brought her back to life

Raised from the dead

He's done it again

He's called us out of the grave

Raised us up together

To sit in a heavenly place!

Our conversation in the past

By the flesh, consumed

The children of wrath

To hell we were doomed

But God, in His great mercy

Quickened us together with Christ

A new tongue we have now

That speaks of a eternal life

Thank God for His unspeakable gift (II Corinthians 9:15)

And his mercy that abounds

Help us to fight, Lord

Until faithful, we are found!

Mark 5:

 41. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 

42. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 

 43.And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat. 

Eph 2:3

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 

Eph 2:4

 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Eph 2:5

 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

II Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

I Timothy 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Matthew 25:21

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

To Moses was the secret given

Long long ago 

Rise up early in the morning

To the mountain you must go

Climb up to the very top 

You must be all alone

Have your blank slate before you

Bow down before the throne

Bring the hewed out stone

The tables of your heart will do

He will descend like a cloud

His presence will cover you

His name you will proclaim

With you, God will stand

He is merciful and long suffering

Goodness  and truth are in his hands

Based on Exodus 34

 

 

A strong people set in battle array

Sound an alarm ( Joel 2:5)

Hath anything been like this before?

The army of The Lord!

A fire goes before them and

Behind them a flame (Joel 2:3)

The earth quakes and trembles

Yea, no one will escape

Rend you heart and

Not your garments, (Joel 2:13)

Lo, weep and pray (Joel 2:17)

The Lord is gracious and merciful

Who can abide in His day? (Joel 2:18)

Joel 2:5

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 

Joel 2:3

 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 

Joel 2:13

 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 

Joel 2:17

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

Joel 2:11

And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it

When you get to the place

The Lord promised you in this land

You will rejoice in whatever you put your hands to

Whatsoever is right in the eyes of every man (Deut.12)

You will dwell there in safety

No concerns of the enemy

You heart fixed upon the Lord (Psalm 112:7-8)

What can man do unto thee?

You may eat whatever you lust for

Whether it be clean or unclean

It's not what goes into the body,

What comes out of your heart is what God sees (Mark 7:15)

Bring your tithes and all your offerings

We now only have one thing to give

He wants the "calves of your lips" (Hosea 14:2)

Your praise and thanksgiving for the eternal life you will live

Get you into your tents again

God told the Israelites

They had heard the voice of the Lord

And were afraid they would die

The great fire will consume us

They told Moses with fear

So instead, He spoke with Moses

Who to God was standing near

(Deuteronomy 5)

O, that the fire would consume us!

And fill every moment, every year!

With a Kingdom that cannot be moved!

Serving God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear! (Hebrews 12:29)

 For our God is a consuming fire. 

Hebrews 12:30

Scattered, as with the wind, 

before the enemy ,

They'll see the the back, and not the face, 

in the days of calamity. 

Their sins are graven with a pen of iron 

upon the table of their hearts,

They put their trust in other men

And from them, truth departs

The people have forgotten Him,

And turned to vanity, 

they've stumbled off the ancient paths, 

Now they'll fall before their enemies

Jeremiah 18

Walk not as the Gentiles,

In the vanity of their mind

Alienated from the life of God, (Eph 4:17-18)

Giving Him no time

Ye are a chosen generation,

A royal priesthood (I Peter 2:9)

Laying your treasures in heaven, (Matthew 6:20)

And cleaving to that which is good (Romans 12:9)

Bearing about in your mind,

As you move about your day,

The dying of The Lord Jesus, (II Cor 4:10)

Knowing He is the only Way

Eph 4:17-18

 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 

 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 

I Peter 2:9

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Matthew 6:20

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Romans 12:9

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

II Corinthians 4:10

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
