Ambassador For Christ
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We urge you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20 I am calling you to be An ambassador for Me. You must in My Word immerse, So you can cite a particular verse. I will give you a discerning heart, If you will but do your part: Pray and meditate each day On My Word and what I say. Do not confuse My will with yours, A discerning mind is par for the course. You must pray, “Thy will be done.” All other thoughts? From them you run! Allow yourself for Me to…

The Greatest Good
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:3 God is the greatest good In all the universe; He is incomparable, And yet He is diverse. There is no other like Him, All things come from Him alone; He watches over everything From His glorious throne.

Making the Moments Count
Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple. 2 Timothy 2:15 God breathed life into us On the day of our first birth; Our lives are but a fleeting moment On this planet we call Earth.

When our lives revolve around Him, not us, Heaven is our gain. Make each moment count for God, Allow Him to guide your day; Keep your spirit tuned…

Expression of Christ
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22 Expression of Christ Is a beautiful phrase, But how do we convey it Throughout our days? Praying with a loved one- Forgiveness and compassion- That's an expression of Christ. Imparting peace instead of stress- Words sprinkled with kindness- That's an expression of Christ. Joy in the Lord unsubdued- A posture of gratitude- That's an expression of Christ. With God's guidance in All you say and do, An expression of Christ Will be showing through. In the movie, War Room, one character says, “See you in church.” The other character responds, “I need to…

Hope is Rising
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell His disciples. Matthew 28:8 It was Sunday morning When Mary and Mary Magdalene Went to the tomb of Jesus To finish the burial routine. The stone had been moved And this was surprising, For the body was gone; Hope started rising! The angel told them, “Do not fear! He has risen! He is not here!” The women hurried from the tomb On the way formalizing What to say to the disciples, As hope in them was rising! Peter and John could not believe What the women had said. “Jesus isn't in the tomb?…

The Rock of Agony
“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Luke 22:42 As I touched the Rock of Agony Where Christ poured His heart out to God, I felt the power of the Holy Spirit, And I was humbled and in awe. In agony Christ sweat blood, As for His life He pleaded; “Yet not My will, but Thine,” He cried, Accepting His fate, He conceded. Oh, thank you, Jesus, for Your sacrifice, For loving us beyond comprehension; Though spotless Yourself, You bore our sins, Our salvation was Your intention. May I live in a way worthy to You, Honoring the sacrifice…
