We Live To Love
In all our struggles
In all our dreams
In our daily existence
We must never forget
That we live to love
And were born to love
May love reign supreme
In our lives
As we race towards
Eternity

Along The Way
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. (2 Thessalonians 3:13 NKJV)
Sometimes it gets
Tiring along the way
When we keep doing good
And work hard
And things are still tough
Then we watch the bad guys
Succeed in everything
And we are tempted to
Give up our faith
Or compromise our faith
It gets tiring along the way
And we loose confidence
And forsake Christ as our first love
We begin to do things
We never did before
We become lukewarm Christians
That Christ warned
That he will spit
Out of His mouth
Even though it can get tiring
Paul is encouraging
All of us
Not to get
Tired of doing good
We must cling to Christ
And believe that
He is a rewarder
Of those who diligently
Seek Him
May God’s grace
Be with us
And make us
Steadfast and faithful
Till the end

Great Man Of War
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15 NKJV)
He fought
He won
He made a mockery
Of death and the grave
The mighty One
Is a warrior
A great man of war
He fights evil
He defeats evil
He loves righteousness
Thank you Jesus
For you alone defeated death
And set us free

Protect Your Heart
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23 NKJV)
It’s so easy
To fall in love
But who are you
Really falling in
Love with
A mirage, fantasy or reality
Before you give
Your heart so easily
To another
Make sure the object
Of your affection
Loves you back
The heart is very
Special and priceless
And must not be
Given away so easily
To someone
Who will callously
Abuse it
And shatter it into
A million pieces
It makes no sense
To give your heart
To a fool
Treasure it and
Give it to the one
Who deserves it

I Know How It Hurts
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:31 – 4:32 NKJV)
I know how it hurts
Trust me, I know
When you are betrayed
By the very ones
Who should protect you
It feels worse than
A million arrows
To the soul
It breaks the heart
And Spirit
Child of mercy
Forget the pain
Forget the sorrow
I know how it hurts
But remember
That we are all human
Just remember
That the devil can use
Anyone to break
Our hearts
If they are not truly
Devoted to Christ
That one who broke
Your heart
Was simply under
The influence of evil
He was hypnotized
To break you
The Lord is bigger
The Lord is stronger
Forget the hurts
Bitterness and grievances
And forgive the offender
Who cruelty hurt you
Betrayed you and disappointed you
Love is stronger than death
And it is only in pure love
That we can see victory
Because no one can claim
To be without sin
We have also hurt others
In the past
And God forgave us.

An Opportunity
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV)
When sorrow comes
Like a flood
We must see this as
An opportunity to
Be steadfast in
Loving Christ
And rejoicing in Him
Who has the power to crush
Sorrow.
It is an opportunity
To pray and depend
On God.
When our enemies come
Against us
He who destroys
With the breath of
His mouth
Will lift up a standard
Against them
And destroy them.
Sorrow is never pleasant
And God does not
Want us to be in sorrow
However, because we
Are human, we are
Not immune to it
God feels our pains
And sorrows
And will finally wipe
Out all sorrows
At the end of time.
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4 NKJV)
Now that we are
Still in time
We can overcome
Sorrow by constant
Prayer and an attitude
Of constant joy
And delighting in Christ
For His blood that
Set us free
Through thanksgiving, praise
And worship
It is in prayer, praise
And worship
That He manifests

Pleasing Him
finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:10 NKJV)
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:17 NKJV)
Knowing God’s will and how to please Him is the ultimate way to live the life in the Spirit. Without knowledge of what pleases God, we will not know how to worship Him. God sent His son to show us the way to His heart.
If we make it our goal to find out what pleases the Lord, we will know Him. Knowing Him will in turn make us do great exploits for Him.
