Work out your own salvation
for it is God who worketh in you.
It is in His good pleasure
both to will and to do.

while my face you could see.
Now your faith must be stronger

I will cling to Jesus' outstretched hand.
Things of this world, I'm not embracing,
because it's always with God I stand.

Nothing/Everything
Written: by Tom Wright
5/7/2018

Some day’s I wander,
Betwixt the present and subliminal,
With the notion that I am nothing; but then God,
Whispers away the anxiety crowding my space,
Making it easier to believe that I am everything,
And “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”*
Tom


* Philippians 4:13 KJV

True, “I can do all things” can describe our race,
Not 5Ks we enter, but trials we face.
‘Cuz setting a PR is not what he meant;
In plenty and want, about being content.

With Christ as our portion, there’s nothing we lack;
The Son in our face means the wind at our back.
He’s not an enhancer, nor a wonder drug,
But that doesn’t fit on the old coffee mug.

(from Philippians 4:13)...

Intently follow His leadership
Jubilantly stay in His love!

THE ROAD TO GREATNESS

The road to greatness lies in serving others
LOVE begets LOVE
That is Gods way

Complaining and arguing make no sense at all
Controlling our anger we stumble and fall
Strive to become blameless and pure
Shining stars in the universe obeying God’s call

The road to greatness lies in serving others
LOVE begets LOVE
That is Gods way

Inspired by Philippians 2:14-15<>...

Be anxious for nothing,
Instead you should pray.
Tell God all your problems,
Turn to Him right away.

And don't forget to thank Him,
For every little thing.
Being grateful is a virtue,
That God holds in high esteem.




12/23/11   Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
