Don't judge,
Be humble,
Be forgiving.
The lofty, abased
The abased, lifted up
Humble heart, justified.
Don't be holy than thou.
He accord with whom humbles.
He's glad with whom have faith.
He who obey the law is blessed.
Respect your heart, mind and soul.
Love your neighbors and yourself.
Give your tithes and offering.
Worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Love your enemy, forgive and pray for them.
Offer yourself as a living sacrifice.
Find salvation while you have still time.
Love God and obey His words to the letter.
Blessed And Highly Favored

When I make the mistake ,
of keeping God at arms length.
Sometimes I forget that,
He’s the source of my strength.
It’s always easy to trust Him,
when things are going my way.
Sometimes He directs circumstances,
just to get me to pray.
Blessings have exited Heaven,
during some of my darkest hours.
God has always shown up,
demonstrating His powers.
When Doctors had done all,
and said it’s in God’s hands.
God was proving once again,
His power was greater than mans.

I know that I’m blessed,
and highly favored.
Because my love for Jesus,
has never wavered.
When near death,
I returned from the brink.
God gave me thoughts,
about eternity to bethink.
He took from my thoughts,
those years I had wasted.
Giving me a new vision,
of remaining years untasted.
I’ve gone through much,
yet remain feeling blessed.
I wouldn’t have my testimony,
without God giving the test.

And Highly Favored

Nowhere have I read that life always seems fair,
but I thank God daily for each sunrise I’ve seen.
Some days were the pits other times it had flare,
but mostly I’ve lived life somewhere in between.
Sometimes my days have started unflavored,
But Jesus seemed to always turn them around.
Many times I’ve felt blessed and highly favored,
when He was planting my feet on solid ground.
Life tracks with Jesus have me a place reserved,
my born again experience my home will arrange.
I’ve lived a favored life, better than I deserved,
and if starting life anew little would I change.
I was blessed to have been adopted at age thirteen.
When hunting after a torrential rain I slipped into the Potomac river and by holding onto my pellet gun, when it slapped the mud, the cocking mechanism sprang open, locking onto a stump allowing me to pull myself free from certain death in that wild rushing chocolate brown Potomac river.
Blessed to have survived a heavy weapon-laden military aircraft engine loss and fell five hundred feet before regaining our altitude, a truly horrific experience.
Blessed to have a bullet aimed at me pass through an open passenger window of a car, passed right in front of my nose, and smashed the driver's side window instead of passing through my head.
After being wrongly accused and facing twenty years in prison I was blessed by a man who saved me from committing suicide, and all charges were dropped.
After all of this and that, there must be a good reason for me still remaining among the living, for I am blessed and highly favored.
Their garden location is given top priority.
They are noticed, observed, loved, and
Placed at the very front of our home.
I see them as I enter my property, and
They catch my eye when I am leaving as
They make eye contact, realizing they are special.
Many-color offerings, well suited to my eyes.
Roses, beautiful flowers, and a great name.
Even the sound of 'Rose' soothes my soul.
Red, white, or pink; take your pick.
Roses give me far more than they take.
Roses, my absolute favorite for many years.
A little water and pruning are adequate.
Don't worry about the thorns; just beware that
Anything of such beauty has a right to be guarded.

My Favored Season…
Exploding fragrant blossoms invite…
flying newbies to share space
squatters to temporary home
buzzing news for the times.

I just want a chance
To be just once recognized
To humanity
But mainly be blessed and favored by God

WRITTEN WORDS BY JAMES EDWARD LEE SR. © 2020
Midnight
Under the thin feather clouds,
Yet beyond the beginning
Of twilight birth
Playful and creative.
Scent of gardenias linger
Forever still in the air
Hide under grass blades
I loosen my garment,
Let it drift down to the floor,
Whilst crackling embers
In rhythmic movement
Dance in the fireplace,
To see the tidal wave
Of lust in thy eyes.
So, sensuous
Is the ornate fruit,
To stand
Submit to the whip
Upon thy back
And tremble with strength
For a taste of desire.
A gasp for favored love
Accept fire burning from within
Climb, carried in musical rhythm
Through endless night,
Entangle explosives bliss.

My Favored
My heart beats faster when you are near.
I can not think straight.
I have been blindsided by a moving truck,
that has no tangible substance.
Your beauty is breathless,
as that is the feeling I have...
I can not keep up with the dreams
that I wish to make... with you.
The hopes that I want to dare... with you.
Nothing in my life will be the same, ever.
I will long to learn to replay time.
I will build a machine.
I will travel back and forth,
again and again,
replaying every day from the first moment
to the last, even smaller than a second.
The sound of echoes across the span,
angels weeping not with sadness but joy.
They laugh as I dance for God.
I make a fool of myself,
only...
and for you.
I stand on the wide oceans beach,
and am ready to swim.
I stand at the cliffs edge,
and I am ready to fly.
But if I drown so be it,
But if I fall, I die.
I will have lived long enough,
to have loved beyond,
all thought ever possible,
and humbly measured
not by tape or rule,
but of faith,
empathy.
Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

Feeling Blessed & Highly Favored
Written: by Miracle Man

Some days, I imagine myself an island,
Set in a sea of distress.
Or a soda that's lost it's fizz,
Lacking carbonation to make me bubble.
The most instinctive reaction to adversity,
Is to whine, plead, and affix blame.
I frequently remind myself, that God,
Doesn't allow trials in my life without purpose.
It's when I don't allow HIM to work through my situation,
That Satan, uses his tool of discouragement,
To stymie my witness.
Forgive me Lord when I whine,
Please forgive me when I whine.

We're wired to want everything instantly -- even God's response to prayer!
Tom
Piggy pink salmon filleted
Lemon pepper bake
With garlic, butter and lime
Pea orbs with curry,
Twice-baked potato
Oh, so nice
Prize!
not that I
want you to suffer
its not that
I don't like you
but your animal person
is more favored than
eye (I)
is there bias
why yes there is
and you get all the bliss
with your big warmhearted eyes
you have all the love and no risks
and some very good
love me tricks
you waddle and you jump
you prance and you run
and still I see you
for what you
turly are
way to sweet
you make want to
barf up puppy love
I can't compete
this is just to cute
and you have some of the best
lovable, love me moves
so I'll get a sign
and write on it
'start A Trend
Give A Smile
'Hug A Human Stranger Today'
and we already know
who the winner will be
but you love us
*****sapiens, anyway
