Love Requires Sacrifice
Would you rather me lie? Not tell you the truth?,
Tell me,,,,is that really loving you?,
If I keep these things from you I would be lying to you,
How much could I love you if I just ignored the truth?,
Should I play along, not care enough to...

Faith Requires Both the Rod and the Staff
Faith requires both the rod and the staff to get salvation;
whoever fails in this quest will experience much tribulation.
Try to climb the rockiest mountain, you have ever seen
without the rod, you will fall into the pit.
Try to live without God, and never lean
on his staff,...

Living Requires Courage
Success
is not easy
you try

Trying
unsuccessful
you fail

Failing
you stop to dream
hope lost

Losing
you give up life
and stop

Stopping
life slips away
slowly

Slowing
time pass you by
it moves

Moving
fast with the flow
of life

Living
requires courage
to bear

Bearing
Life's challenges
that come

Coming
with each new day
you live

Premium Member Love Requires Forgiveness--A Reminder to Myself


At times, you failed your family, yourself,
and God. Your conscience wouldn't quiet down
until you said, "I'm sorry. Could you please
forgive me?" All said "yes," but still you felt
remaining guilt you couldn't rise above.

You couldn't comprehend your frame of mind,
the feeling that--no matter how you tried--
you...

Premium Member Life Requires a Moment of Tranquility
AN IRRITATING BUMBLE BEE
INSISTED ON RUNNING INTO ME.
TRYING MY PATIENCE
OR SO IT SEEM.
I TRIED TO IGNORE
FOR I WAS TRYING TO DREAM.

I OPENED MY EYES 
TO A CLEAR BLUE SKY.
POLITELY ASKED 
THE QUESTION WHY.
AROUND IN CIRCLES
HE CONTINUED TO FLY.

HE FLEXED HIS WINGS
AS IF HE HAD POWER.
I...

Premium Member Love Requires No Thought
A heart filled with love forgives

           what an empty one would not,

for love's a knee-jerk reaction

           that requires no thought.

Premium Member God Always Requires Obedience - 1 Samuel 15: 22-23
God speaks in His word of many things
but there's one word that always repeats
showing the importance God has for it
obedience is that word He loves to greet

God is delighted when we obey Him
for obedience glorifies His mighty name
no amount of sacrifices will suffice
a humble obedient...

It Requires the Will of Man
It requires the will of man

I have to admit at first I thought it was a hapless plan
Simply asking man to do everything he could
In service of the greater good
You know yourself some people are more stubborn than wood 
But if anyone could implement this...

Premium Member Success Requires Patience
Success Requires Patience
Written: by Miracle Man
12-19-2019

Unless patience is in your recipe,
you’re shy the main ingredient.
The seed of success won’t sprout,
without patience and being obedient.

First a tree, then finally an orchard,
A dream started with a single seed.
But the seed of success didn’t sprout,
without labor to supply...

Requires Much More
Requires much more of me 
Than is required usually
Not at all used to being 
Required to do anything 
Outside of my comfort zone
Glad that this will only 
Last a short time 
I Will be glad to get 
Back to normalcy
Once again once the 
New school...
