The Pain Before the Praise

we all like to do things that make us feel good
we all like to do things that we feel we should
we don't want that feel good sensation to come to an end
even if it winds up costing us the loss of family, jobs or friends

but everything that feels good is not acceptable to Christ
as somethings that make you feel good may cause some struggle or strife
but feeling good is not the only reason that God gave us life
He wants us to feel good but not at a sacrifice
for the sacrifice was already given at Calvary on the cross
when Jesus gave His life so that ours would not be lost

for there is no pain without some praise
no glory without some gloom
no Easter without Good Friday
and no resurrection without the Tomb

in life there will be some rain, there will be some dark days
remember while on the cross Jesus to His Father He did say
My God, My God why hath thou forsaken Me?
what have I ever done to merit this misery?

when we find ourselves in situations and feel that from us God has strayed
we get angry, frustrated and discouraged and don't even bother to pray
we then call on Father God and have the nerve to ask him why
has He allowed us to go through stuff that makes us break down and cry

yes, there will be some pain that comes before praise
for after the hurt comes the healing when the hands of God are raised
God said His grace is sufficient for when we're weak He'll be strong
God said that when we trust in Him we will never go wrong

so journey down that dark highway of life towards your salvatiion
God said He'll be the light at the end of your final destination
so only do things that feel good but are also pleasing to God
and no matter what you go through keep Him always in your heart


The Book For Life

our life is a story
a fantastic chapter in God's book
we find out about our charactor and how we will look
when we turn the page
we find that God is loving and compasionate
and he is not filled with rage,
people who do not know God don't relize what's inside
through anytimes of trouble he willingly helps us glide,
if everyone read God's book for life then they would clearly see
that God's book is real and there's a happy endind for you and for me,
if people who do not know God just took a few moments to read what great and mighty
wonders unfold
they would find a great story of truth to be told.

have you heard the saying don't judge a book by it's cover ?
all books can be misinterpreted, but if you read what's inside then see how the story ends,
 forget about fairytales and eastenders and so forth  the Bible is our book for life, dive in and 
see where you end up, whatever questions you have in life I assure you that the answers are 
in God's book for life. the  same with people please  don't be so quick to judge by outward 
appearence for true beauty lies  with in, how we are in heart and spirit and personality 
counts more than  looks , God loves everyone just as they come. we dont have to be 
someone we are not, he knows everything about us he made us all unique and special, 
everyone is one of a kind, a treasure and loved greatly. Amen

thank you Lord for you beautiful gift of eternal life and for the Bible our book for life,
read it , accept it, LIVE it,     God said it I believe it that settles it, Amen

I'm not who I use to be but that's the gift & the curse 
right even when I did live the street life I was the light in 
the darkness right, the soft spoken poet who was. 
inspired by the black activist who taught greatness and 
prosperity to the masses, the spiffy guy who counted it 
lost to degrade or juggle a handful of women and not 
because it was so wrong according to the Holy script, I'm 
no actor but still I gotta stick to the script if I wear my 
heart on my sleeve then why am I still in need of a 
locksmith, I ain't shy I'll admit it I need help I gotta 
addiction and sometimes the God in me seems like its 
missing, I'm missing something, I can feel it in my veins, I 
need you like my last fix only you can fix this broken man 
I give you my all, I tried now my life is in your hands

Baptism

my life was not the same
when I got baptized and was born again
all the things that had hurt me had been washed away
and a great sense of love and peace I felt that day
the lord forgave me for all the things I had done
he did not look at my sins
but he looked at my heart and the person that  I would become
he turned my life around
and in his eyes no traces of my past will be found
he gave me a second chance
a life with hope and his promises to hold on too
he blotted out my sins  and he will do the same for you.


For James and leanne, your life will begin next month on your baptism, 
James you will be healed when you are born again, say good bye dyslexia, good bye reflux
good bye exema, theese will be gone son, God said you will be healed, just  believe it and 
know that it is true and  you will be free Amen , love you from mum.

My Life Is In Your Hands

My life did not mean a  thing
and your the one who understands
how I was broken and empty until I placed my life into your hands
no matter what things have gone before
you have shown me that you love me more and more
even in the darkest place when I tried to do things in my own strength and tried to do my 
own thing
you still came and took me under your wing
you have given me a life the way that it should be
you freed me from pain , suffering and from dispaire
and I'm thankful that you are there
thank you for all the things that you say
thank you for all the things that you do
dear Lord I  surrender my life back  to you

Identity

I was not sure why I  was here

or what I  would become

I was not sure what would happen when each day was done

I did not know where I was going

or what I  was  going to do

until I gave my life back to you

you changed my way of thinking

you changed my dna

and my true identity is in Jesus every single day

he took out the old

and replaced it with new

so no matter what people think, say or do

I have assurance of who I am in you.  Amen.

in life with out God we are unsure about anything we have no idea what to expect but with 
God in your life you can be sure about everything, we know who we are and where we are 
going.it is by Gods Grace that we are saved. he determins our steps and helps keep our 
paths straight. let God guide you in life and enjoy the journey with so many gifts to enjoy 
every single day. you can be sure you going to a good destination at the end. Amen.

A Breath of Fresh Air

The Lord is like a breath of fresh air
you need him to stay alive
the Lord is like a breath of fresh air
you need him to survive
every breath that you take is no mistake
God's love for you is real and is not fake
even if you did not know the Lord in your youth
i'ts never too late to know the truth
He gave up everything for you and for me
he gave his life so we could be free
Gods' forgivness to us he will always give
the Lord laid down his life so  that we could  LIVE.

 with out oxygen in the air we would be long gone, Jesus is the one who gives us eternal life, 
Gods' love nevevr runs out and it never runs dry, so if  all the trees get chopped down and 
the oxygen has all gone his love for us will still go on , he is the one who keeps us alive for 
ever on earth and in heaven. if you have a dream it can come true, anything is possible 
because God loves you. Just believe it, accept it and live it. he will never let you down.

The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground, he breathed the breath of life into 
the mans' nostrils and the man became a living person, Genesis 2 : 7

man does not live by  bread alone but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the 
mouth of the Lord. deuteronomy 8 : 3

The Gift of Life

Lord I thank you that i'm alive
it's a miracle i'm here as two syblins either side of my birth did not survive,
some of my family used to be cruel
and some people tried to make me feel it was a mistake that I was born
but I know you'd never leave me  alone or forlon
you brought me into the world for a purpose
and you're the reason that I live
and my life and my heart to you i'll always freely give
some words hurt they can cut deeper than any knife
but regardless of what things they did  do or say I thank you for the Gift of life
Lord you're the one that I adore
you are my rock and my strength  and nothing can hurt me any more. 

Lord thank you for your gift of life and now my children are set free too
we belong to you and nothing can seperate us from the love of you. thank you that my 
children are born of you, they gave their life to you today   Amen

we are all here for as purpose, each and every single person is special to God he loves 
every one no matter what, don't let others tell you that you were a mistake, God brought you 
here for a purpose and you are his world he thinks the world of you, he gave you life and he 
will give you eternal life, and his peace he leaves you.  SHALOM means peace but  also 
means total wholeness  nothing missing nothing broken. Amen.

Page Eleven

Finally it sets in, 60 seconds is all it takes for me to make 
a decision about who's on this final destination wit me no 
preminition, there are some choices I've made that I 
could've handled differently but evidently it wasn't 
meant to go down that way sometimes I can't even relate 
to me, myself, or I so...I abide where I see fit but in the 
midst of all this we call life I stand firm on the Rock, still 
I'm so confused about this life I live on the clock. So I 
guess I should just do what it does and keep pressing 
forward, the time is now I'm this close to inheriting my 
reward

Thr River of Life

the river of life
flows like a gentle stream
it refreshes our soul and makes us clean
the river of life is  his  waves of  mercy flowing over us everyday
washing all our pain and sorrows away
the river of life flows from the throne
from which his Love has continued to have  grown
the river of life will make you grow and and thrive
the river of life will make everything alive
all can come to the fountain and drink
have a little taste then see what you think

Revelation 7 : 17
Revelation 21: 6 
Revelation 22 : 14
Revelation 22 : 17

 “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!  Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! 
For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.  Amen
