ALL HIS CHILDREN
We are all to be deemed the Prodical Son
When we live a life that will not allow God's will to be done.
For when we seek after our own fortune and fame
Seldom if ever will we give credit to God's Holy name.
We will abandon our family and betray a friend
To selfishly seek after our own means to an end.
When our eyes become obsessed by Earthly delights
We will hold no value for wrongs or rights.
We will view people as objects to use
Caring not for the person we abuse.
The truth will not matter for the decisions we make
For we will only care for the things we can rob,steal or take.
And just when you are at the end of all wrong you can do
God's love will come crashing down upon you.
He will show you the errror of your way
He will show you the price you must pay.
He will give you the choice on how to proceed
He will give you His Love or let you die in your own greed.
He will leave the decision solely for you to decide
To remain in hell or in His Love you can reside.
If you chose God a banquet He will prepare
One for which all of His children will share...
LIKE THE AIR WE BREATHE
As in the air we breathe God's Loving presence is there
Invisibly shrouding us in His life giving care.
If either is removed no human could sustain
For both are requirements for true life to remain.
If we are to live a life that is completely whole
We must provide nurishment for the body, mind, and soul.
When one is not nurtured in a proper and fitting way
It will become diseased and soon decay.
Just as the body needs air in order to stay alive
The Soul needs God's Love if it is to survive.
The mind is the instrument God gave us to think and choose
We can use it to except His Love or reject It and lose.
Our Lord has already provided for our each and ever need
If only we learn to listen to Him and in His Word take heed.
We must become dependent upon what Our Lord has to give
For He alone knows the best way for us all to live...
CHRIST IS THE FLAME
We are but candles and Christ is the flame
When He sets His light upon you you'll never be the same.
You will shine with the Light only truth can project
Sin will be the only thing you will want to reject.
Christ's Light will teach you and direct you on your way
To experience the brilliance of a beautiful new day.
Your life will be changed as your thoughts are too
They will display the Love of God that is now inside of you.
You will be called upon to help others who have not yet seen
That Christ's Light is both universal and intrinsically tontine.
And when His candles are amassed and set side by side
No darkness will remain and only His Love will abide...
AS IT IS ABOVE-SO IS IT BELOW
Love is of God and so are we
We are the physical manifestation of this Love to see.
AS children of God wea re all beautiful in His sight
He created each of us for His personal delight.
We are all members of this human race
Existing here out of the goodness of God's Grace.
The human race descends from a history of being brash and bold
It leaves very little mention of our immortal soul.
Our Soul is our link to God above
It's our Spiritual manifestation that connect us to His Love.
God is of spirit and so are we
But, alas, this is our sight is unable to see.
To see, to understand,or try to comprehend
Requires the workings of the Holy Spirit as our very best friend.
For as it is above-so is it below
The Holy Spirit will grant us all we need to know.
Faith and trust will have to supplement our Earthly eyes
Because matters of the Spirit requires absolutely no lies.
It is by Truth our sight will come to acquire
All the Words Christ came here to transpire.
God's Holy Spirit will show us all we cannot see
When we trust in Him with absolute certainty.
And when our hearts become filled with His never ending Love
We will come to know Our Father in Heaven up above...
HEAVEN'S DOOR *
When someone you love leaves this world you are left
so all alone
It is into deep despair and depression you are thrown.
Nothing seems to end the hurt or ease the pain
It would seem that in this saddened state you are to remain.
But think of who has passed away and what they mean
to you
The love you share will never die for it was meant
for two.
Christ said,"When two or more are gathered", I will
be there
You must now leave your love one entirely to His care.
Love is required for safe passage to reach the other side
Your love one is now thanking you for providing a
smooth ride.
Faith and trust will now increase and be a help to you
They will give you strength to carry on they will see
you through
Your love one is now gathered to all who have
gone before
And it is the strength of all this Love that opens
HEAVEN'S DOOR.

WHAT GOD WANTS FROM US
What God wants from us is what He is
Love given and Love received the same as His
To obtainthis kind of Love is no impossible task
We need simply to remove everyone of our Earthly mask.
For when we think we are better than this or that soul
It means we are hiding behind a carnal blindfold.
Deep down we are all God's human beings
Our heart and soul the only possession worthy of seeing.
It is God alone who posses Love that will never cease
It is in His Love that we find our Eternal Peace.
Our Lord and God could never be compared to anyone
For no created creature could do what He has done.
He has given us the opportunity to serve Him as King
To Love and Honor Him above every living thing.
To give or get the Love I speak of now
You must ask God for help and He will show you how...
WHAT WE HAVE TO GIVE GOD
There is only one way to thank God for all He is giving
And that is to praise his Holy Name everyday we are living.
The way to thank God for what He has given you
Is to give Glory to Him in everything that you do.
This may sound to you simple or it may sound hard
But thanks is the only thing we have to offer The Lord.
God is our Creator and He made all things for us
There are no things we can offer Him but our love and trust.
As our Creator He must rule as a Sovereign King
And in this way we are to honor Him above everything...
ABOVE THIS EARTHLY PLAIN
When Christ resurrected this world nearly two thousand years ago
He left behind twelve men who were to teach our Spirits to grow.
A nearly impossible task was placed in their hands
To teach the people of Earth to live according to Christ's plan.
They would face fear, hate, and disblief as they went along the way
And all they had for strength was the way Christ taught them to pray.
Faith in Christ has more power than any Earthly force
For It gains Its strength from God who is Its Eternal source.
At Christ's death the twelve were visible shaken
Until the Holy spirit descended and their faith was awaken.
The same holds true today as it did so long ago
Without the Holy Spirit we can have no faith to grow.
So if it is your faith that is in need of strengthening somehow
Seek out the aid of the Holy Spirit and He will empower you now.
He will lift you high above the troubles of this Earthly plain
And it is there with Christ your Spirit will remain...
OUR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
When Christ died His estate was left behind for us all to share
It is the One thing that will unite us back to His care.
He left behind twelve men to sell us on His plan
It is their job to insure the life of the mortal man.
What He has to give is to be divided amongst us all.
It is our insurance that will redeem man's Original fall.
To partake of this "Trust" there is only one way to apply
And that is to accept Christ as your Savior to the day you die.
We assure Christ that our premiums we do pay
When it is the Our Father we do pray.
When it becomes time to cash in and recieve our reward
We will find ourselves in Heaven,face to face with Our Lord...
GOD'S GIFTS
When you recieve any of God's gifts you must give them away
This will insure that you get to keep them from day to day.
If you try to posses them in any other manner they will be gone
Given to some other soul that knows how to pass them on.
God's gifts are meant to be shared by everyone
This is the way His will is to be done.
God doesn't take away any gifts He has given to you
Thought you can loose them from not knowing what to do.
Our God is all patient and forever giving
He teaches us throughout this life we are living.
So if it more of God's gifts you would like to see
Everyday participate fully in His generosity...
