Joyce Bell Poem
THIS IS A CONTROVERSEY THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES. THUS, SPEAKING IN POETICAL FORM FROM A CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE.....
Consider...
The Ever Present, Unequal, Imperishable Power of…
The One and Only...True God!
Who left His Throne, His Eternal Home and walked
earth's sod~
We are His and He is ours! whereby…
now and forever- love Him do we
knowing that it is only…through Him
our promised never-ending rest we will see~
He is the maker of ‘all’ in sea, sky and earth…
indeed, of every living thing
yet, that we might be saved, He put on flesh
to bestow a pardon which only…He…could bring~
From the Garden of Eden...
He, from which nothing is hid, knew
no one else could eradicate sin
only He Alone would do~
Hallelujah, yes! The King of Kings!
became...Jesus...the Lamb!
For the 'purity' of ‘the sacrifice’ was duly required
that throughout time - it would stand! ~
Only God was completely 'unblemished'... without sin
only He was worthy, verily...
only He was able to save us
Only He- loved us, so entirely! ~
Therefore, to say that He wouldn't do this
limits His Omnipotence...His rule!
for, no one but…He…could have done it...
as, He Alone Is God...through and through! ~
But for those...who find this hard to accept
for those who have hesitated, denied and mocked...
who cannot understand the Trinity, I say...
Take Him out of The Box! ~
For, The Box- contains and restrains Him
the Box, makes many feel that He is of mortal vein
and that…He thinks…the way we think
the Box ignores His Strength, His Oneness, His Unconquered Reign! ~
Loose those finite chains that inhibit!
use the ‘key of faith' and ‘open the lock’!
allow the 'God of Impossibilities' to…flood your being…
Take Him Out of The Box!~
He Is much more...Oh, so much more Deeper…
then we mere lumps-of-clay could ever begin to imagine!
discard that cape of skepticism...
let His Spirit direct you...from within~
Seek His ultimate truth- in His Word…
that a virgin brought Him forth is not a fabled concoct
know- that The God we serve ‘did’ fulfill His prophecies...
Take Him out of The Box!~
Enter the Magnificence of the Triune's Presence!
two or three gods? preposterous! but in fact, idolatrous!
however, 'ONE' GOD who can do ANYTHING??!!! Yes!!!
and He did It...for you and me...us!!! ~
Take Him out of that man-made container!
for He is… ‘infinitely larger’ then our envisioned gestation!
‘far greater’ than what we could 'ever' conceive, we embrace…
His Eternal Vastness via... Unconditional Love’s intoxication ~
You and I... we are the ones
that…wouldn't...couldn't...and have a ‘human’ limit
but not Our Almighty God, not ever...'He'!
for, HE IS…Alpha! Omega! Our One Supreme, Uncontainable, Summit! ~
Take - Him - Out - Of - The...Box!!!
1Tim 3:16, Jer 31:3, Ps 115:3, Is 55:8-9, Hab 2:4, Lk 1:37, Heb 11:6, John 1:1, 1Jhn 5:7

Joyce Bell Poem
Along the Way, as we Press-on, there comes a time when we....
LET...
Gratitude's embers saturate entirely
as one is lifted high above…
the accumulated clamor of needs, wants,
desires...for things...that laden and dim
the beneficence of...
His Majesty
and
Perfection
IGNORE...
The vast concerns that sway our thoughts
dulling the senses of Him
and His ultimate fullness
...but enter into His overflowing harvest of...
sustenance and luxe
THERE ...
Where the unearthly beauty of adoring
doth glisten...cajoling...
the splendor of thankfulness and homage
that gush from one surrendered...
to bathe...in the Celestial Sea
of ...His Love's bestowing...
TARRY...
In the Wealth of…Him
seeing Him and Him alone
for all that He truly is...
The So Worthy Creator and Keeper of our Souls,
Who Provides Peaceful moments...such as this...
where we rest...upon His sweet bed of...Assurance
JESUS...
Like a bay leaf
full of dew...You...spread Yourself
before us and we fare...sumptuously...
on Your Excellence!
Yea! With amorous gaze of worship
our heart, mind, spirit and body agree...
surely, there can be no doubt...
THOU ART GOD!!!

Joyce Bell Poem
When...through it all, we trust Him!
To verily, Let God Have His Way…
Is much more than words… we say
It’s choosing to stand …and survey
Rather than to bend things our way
It is calling on our...faith...each day
While ignoring the obvious… display
Of the bold, unrighteous acts at play
It is being still when itching to...flay
It is trusting when wanting to...bray
It is patience despite the vast outlay
Of what is wrong, and fully decayed
It is strength found in hope’s…sleigh
It’s leaning while relying on Yahweh
It is remaining silent in times of gray
It is crying but turning…yet… to pray
It is when in humanness of our...clay
We tell Jah what we want on our tray
But then tarry not… to hastily convey
All the results...are His whatever may
Also, it is waiting… within belief’s ray
As we yield to Let God Have His Way
Job 23:10, 12:15, 19:25, Hab 3:17-19, Ps 13

Joyce Bell Poem
Even while we sleep...! Let's Press-on
Where did we go…while I slept?
what mountains and rivers…were leapt?
Through what tunnels did we travel...
leaving footprints upon unknown gravel?
What mysteries were revealed...
that You, in Your Wisdom...have concealed?
For, here I find myself awakened
with the drudge of yesterday…forsaken
Yet, so aware...that though I did dream…
there is nothing to remember, it seems
But You were there, Jehovah…in Your Silent Way
infusing with guidance unto another day
And now, duly revived and adept…
I do wonder, where did we go…while I slept?

Joyce Bell Poem
In our Hearts Burn…A Love of God and Country which, through it all, has not diminished! We Press on, Amen!
There comes a time when…we…
must pause to diligently survey
our history...
When, at a place of reflection…we…
walk back through…fields…of what
used to be.
This must be done to comprehend fully
what is transpiring within
our nation now...
As we witness...poisons...of the past
come...trickling down those festered…
sickened boughs!
Exposed, are those hidden hearts…filled
with the...blind stench and rancor
of yesterday
The evidence is so clear that we...still
make our journey amidst racism’s
biting sway!
However, we cannot be discouraged, whereby
our country’s watching enemies…enter in…
seeking to gain control …
No! we’re mandated to put our Trust in God
through whom our ultimate victory
will, surely, unfold.
Thus, when our weary souls and minds
are sorely tested with our faith hunted…
to be…sifted
We must rely on Our Creator's Guidance
ignoring…the gnawing call for vengeance…
with prayers and songs of hope…ever lifted!
Indeed, by strength from above...
perseverance is undoubtedly ours...
regardless all the injustices and, yes…the pain!
For remember, this be...Our Beloved Homeland...
saturated with our...Revered Predecessor's Mortal Heritage
thus, as we Raise Our Banner High, Our Love…Remains!
Psalm 27

Joyce Bell Poem
Jesus...He waits patiently, because He Loves us! Amen.
Shall we go on?
...came…His…tender inquiry
She didn’t answer...intent on remaining
in the shadowed dregs of her brokenness
And He allowed her to do so…
because He loved her…
and understood
So, He waited…
while she bewailed the unfairness of the times,
the cruelty of acts oppressive, the heaviness...
of it all! …He waited…as
She delved further into her complaints…even…
pointing a finger at Him…yet, He waited…
and never…
not for a moment…did He leave her side
Then, somewhere, in the interim’s timelessness
her angst and sobs subsided…
She lifted her eyes, acknowledged His Presence
and reached…
for His outstretched Hand
From Him…flowed…renewed Faith and Strength
…she smiled…
And…They Went On

Joyce Bell Poem
JUST...A THOUGHT, Amen.
I thought about You today...
Your Goodness and Your Grace
I meditated on Your Love
I visualized Your Face
I thought about
what You saved me from...
hell's fire and damnation
all the misery to come
I thought about the sacrifice...
You...on Calvary
and all that You endured
just for me
I thought about the city
built with miraculous care...
You're coming back as promised
to take me there
Thoughts of You are what sustains me
'cause my journey oft times...is hard
Thus moments with You in mind
waters and softens...the arid sod
Yes, I thought about You today
...Jehovah,
Your Goodness and Your Grace
Is 26:3, Phil 4:8

Joyce Bell Poem
For you...and me, amen.
Crimson Lace…
designed…with Eternal Taste
does so splendidly adorn
Every soul…
surrendered and whole
no longer…cold and torn
Though once lost…midst ice...
in twirls of vice
we now extol …His Case
‘Neath drips of sacred tree, Love...
woven just for you and me
…Crimson Lace
ROMANS 5:8
HAPPY EASTER!

Joyce Bell Poem
HE CAME FOR ME AND HE ASKED...AND I SAID, YES. PRESSING ON!
Jah, into my life You came
in treasures that do unfold
I’m covered by Your train
Your Love…mine to behold
Oh, how Your oils…do flow
while journeying…the way
assurance is mine to know
ere what a world may say
So very sweet is Your voice
yet keeps me good company
Jesus, I'm Yours …by choice
Your Hand tends each need
Whatever my storm brings
I am persuaded You’ll tame
Provider… my soul’s spring
Jah, into my life You came
John 10:10

Joyce Bell Poem
What a Blessing it is...to know! Press-on...
Are you aware…?
you’re in the care
of …Heaven’s Best
Come, lay your head upon His breast
partake such moments of trial regress
Our fragile souls require no less…
this calm assurance...within the press
When mind is stilled at perfect rest
from vast concerns…and all those tests…
A quell prevails…within Love’s Chest
a most Precious Gift I can attest…
To be in the care
of…Heaven’s Best
Are you aware…?
Psalm 23
