I have chosen you to be my fruitful branchfrom here to eternityI have called you Friend –- Beloved to Me.You may ask what you will, and so it will be.I confess now, Lord, with a broken heart,I have betrayed and wounded You, too.Unworthy of mercy --- judgment my part.But, listen, my soul, Love calls to you!I love you! I have chosen you to be my fruitful branchfrom here to eternityI have called you Friend –- Beloved to Me.You may ask what you will, and so it will be.Your call I’ve answered, in your field I stand,But darkness rolls in --- I’ve started late.How can I bring Your light to this dark land?Helpless, I call. Jesus answers, wait!I love you! I have chosen you to be my fruitful branchfrom here to eternityI have called you Friend –- Beloved to Me.You may ask what you will, and so it will be. (nf)Joh 15:14-16 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.You are loved
nice one, thanx
Glad you like it TCH and share another one written by the same author:" Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.”(Psalm 4:5) Our trust deficiency can perhaps be blamed on our affluency coupled with modern technology, but we need to learn to trust. Jesus, our Friend, knows what is best for us.
Life has this strange feature;I cannot know the day, the twisting and turningof my variable way.
My situation shiftswith incredible speed; security or wealth swings to frustrated need.
One moment, fulfillment,health of body and soul; then sudden upheaval, and life demands its toll.
I pay with aching grief,clutching my broken heart, and then Jesus whispers, "Child you're set apart."
"Changes will work for good, magnify My Great Name! When this trial has passed, you will not be the same."
At last, I understandthat he designs for me pressures to mold and shape me to what I need to be.
The lesson I must learn,regardless of my way,is simple, loving TRUSTin Him who plans each day. N.F
“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them…” (Psalm 5:11)God bless you all and trust in Him!Jedidiah
Copy/paste/share words from a song (McGruders)From Heavens Point of ViewToday I faced a mountain that i have no strength to climb For the struggle of this journey's left me weak both in body and in mind Where I stand to the peak is a distance on my own I cannot reach So this journey of a thousand steps begins right here on my knees Soon I'll soar like an eagle high on wings of grace Far into the heavens where I can almost see God's face Rising in his splendor to heights I never knew What once looked like a mountain is just a hill from Heaven's point of view I may face things tomorrow I can't comprehend today Circumstances so uncertain make it hard to find the strength to pray But I'm living in the promise I'll never leave you I will always see you through So what's this mountain to an eagle flying high from Heaven's point of view.God bless youJedidiah
cop/paste/share and careWhy do we do the things we doHow can we sing when there seems no reason to How do we smile when there's not much to smile about When the world is down who are we to stand and shout They wonder why we do the things we do It's all because of this It's all because of this We've tasted love, tasted hope, tasted holiness And they wonder why, we do the things we do
Big HouseI don't know where you lay your head or where you call your home.I don't know where you eat your meals or where you talk on the phone.I don't know if you got a cook, a butler or a maid,I don't know if you got a yard with a hammock on the shade.
I don't know if you got a shelter, say a place to hide. I don't know if you live with friends in whom you can confide.I don't know if you got a family, say a mom or a dad.I don't know if you feel love at all, but I bet you wish you had.
Come, and go with me, to my Father's house.Come, and go with me, to my Father's house.It's big, big house, with lots and lots of room,A big, big table, with lots and lots of food,A big, big yard, where we can play footballA big, big house, it's my Father's house.
All I know is a big ole house, with rooms for everyone.All I know is lots of land, where we can play and run.All I know is you need love, and I've got a family.All I know is you're all alone, so why not come with me?God bless youJedidiah

How could I think that I could make it without you?The path I took was worn and well lit with fortuneHow could I be so blinded by my own vision?I though that I controlled my hopes and ambition…The road ends here and I’m cold and I’m lonelyWhat do I do? I’m lost…Can somebody show me?Somebody show me…
Where do I go? Who can I turn to?I chose a path that has let me astrayI need a friend, a guiding lightI need a compass to find my way
It’s all too easy living day by dayAnd never think about the price that He had to payI get so wrapped up in my foolish prideSometimes I stumble, sometimes I run and hideThe road I walked on was never homeward boundI’ve lost my place can I simply turn around?How do I turn around?
Jesus Christ is the light. His light will always shineHelping me win this fight.My own lighthouse in the night.
The road I walked on was never homeward boundI’ve lost my place can I simply turn around?How do I turn around?
Where do I go? Who can I turn to?I run to Jesus and fall on my kneesHe is my friend, my guiding light / He is the compass that finds my way…
“Come apart, My Child, to this quiet place;For your heart’s renewing, I will slow your pace. There are words I would whisper soft and low.But you cannot listen when you hurry so.”"But this desert, Lord, so barren and sere;Is it truly Your will that I wander here?""Your way will be guided, hemmed in by Love; Each day will glow with pure light from above. I will loosen your grip on things of the earth,And fix your desires on true spiritual worth.""Your road is my choice, oh, teach me Your ways; Keep me rejoicing in all sorts of days."
hi
very beautiful
thanks
have posted this somewhere before and digged it out...
Today!
The past leers accusingly over my shoulder; this you did or didn't do, that you should or shouldn't have. But the one-way street that Life is allows no recall nor return. Let me bend to this nagging, let me weep with vain remorse, then Yesterday, arrogant thief, will rob me of Today. The future looms ominously, mysterious unknown! I have not walked here before, so I cannot know the way. This curtain allows no glimpses, the iron door implacably closed. If worry and doubt grind me, fear overshadow my heart, then Tomorrow, arrogant thief, will rob me of Today. Today is my gift for using; It needs all of me, uncluttered heart, not looking back, unfettered mind, content with now. I'm not the bird beating its wings, but the eagle freely soaring, guided in each decision with spiritual precision. There is no thief that can rob me of Today! NF
TODAY let us work together, let us shine and exalt each other. This is the will of the King. His royal gift to us is TODAY. Don't allow nothing to overshadow this gift. TODAY is the day of salvation. It is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in Him. "...while it is Today..." (John 9:4), "...while it is called To day..." The good days are passing, unrecocknized and in an ordinary way - we spend them, while we ponder over the past or we speculate in expectation of the days, we hope to come. Never allow this to happen in your life.
The Word of God gives us a good advice for TODAY: Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.God bless youJedidiah

If There Were No God If there were no God there would be no music There would be no dream to be dreaming of What a dreadful thought of an empty future If there were no God there would be no love If there were no God there would be no children There would be no joy to relieve our tears Not a tender hand to provide us comfort No consoling heart to subdue our fears But we know that God is with us And we know His majesty Reigning now, the King eternal Yes we know the victory If there were no God there would be no sunshine There would be no rain to refresh the earth There would be no jewels to display their value There would be no thought of enduring words If there were no God there'd be no creation There would be no light there would be no breath No surpassing joy nothing in existence If there were no God all would be death Yes we know, yes we know the victory Yes we know the victory

Count your blessings instead of your crosses.Count your gains instead of your losses. Count your joys instead of your woes. Count your friends instead of your foes. Count your smiles instead of your tears. Count your courage instead of your fears. Count your full years instead of your lean. Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. Count your health instead of your wealth. Count on God instead of yourself.
Eternity - Who Can Measure It?
Count all the rays of yonder sun, Eternity is just begun; Count all the leaves on every tree, Eternity will longer be; Count all the drops of rain that fall, Eternity outnumbers all.
Count all the stars, each one by one, Eternity's but just begun; Count all the sand beside the sea, Eternity will longer be; Count all creation, great and small, Eternity outnumbers all.
I refuse to stay discouraged,To be sad or to cry. I refuse to be down heartedAnd here's the reason why: I have a God who is Almighty; Who is sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, And I am on His team. He is all wise and powerful; Jesus is His Name; Though everything else is changeable, My God remains the same. I refuse to be defeated. My eyes are on my GOD. He has promised to be with me, As through this life I trod. I am looking past my circumstances, to Heaven's throne above. My prayers have reached the heart of God. I am resting in His love. I give thanks to Him in everything. My eyes are on His Face. The battle is His; The victory is mine; He will help win the race!
WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED
God has not promised skies always blue,flower-strewn pathways all our lives through. God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day, rest for the laborer, light on the way, grace for the trial, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love.God bless you richly Jedidiah
thank you sooooooo much its reallly nice
Thanks for letting me know that you liked it, Princess. Happy about it!Copy/paste and share another poem with everybody.BRIGHTEN YOUR CORNERWe cannot all be famousOr be listed in "Who's Who",But every person, great or small,Has important work to do.For seldom do we realizeThe importance of small deeds,Or to what degree of greatnessUnnoticed kindness leads.For it's not the big celebrityIn a world of fame and praise,But it's doing unpretentiouslyIn an undistinguished way.The work that God assigned to us,Unimportant as it seems,That makes our task outstanding,And brings reality to dreams.So do not sit and idly wishFor wider, new dimensionsWhere you can put into practice,Your many good intentions.But at the spot God placed youBegin at once to do,Little things to brighten upThe lives surrounding you.If everybody brightened upThe spot where they are standing,By being more considerate,And a little less demanding.This dark old world would very soonEclipse the evening star,If everybody brightened upThe corner where they are!…and let the love towards God and to all people be your motivator!God bless youJedidiah

Hello Axelstone, thanks for reading the lyric. I mean every word it says. This is not a fun thread.
so how we know those things are truth ? i mean i wasn't there i haven't saw any thing
i haven't heard any thing
Hello Axelstone, well ---Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
You need faith Axelstone, but faith comes not by accident, it is from God. If you want faith, turn to God and open up your heart and obey! Faith will be rewarded by God… oh, yes, you will hear and see.
God bless you
Maybe you're right .
