In a moment...

In a moment … the convict slave was led before the King who was his judge … and
In a moment …all could plainly see the chains that made him trudge
In a moment … obvious the scars of battle, from the life he lived before … and
In a moment … all could see his body wracked and broke from burdens that he bore
In a moment … anxiously they gathered … those who bore witness to his life and crime… and
In a moment … Death stared at him coldly for he knew the sentence… short was now his time
In a moment … he reflected, falling slowly to his knees and quietly accepted that death was now his fate …for
In a moment … he remembered with deep sadness …that he should have acted filled with love instead of hate
In a moment … of true repentance he knelt before his Judge, His God and King … and
In a moment … he begged for forgiveness as he confessed to everything … so,
In a moment… Death moved forward and was sure to strike the fatal blow … when
In a moment … a voice like many waters said “ this is someone that I know” … now
In a moment … a graceful gentle figure moved to speak to this man‘s plight … and
In a moment …all the room was still and quiet for His face was full of light … and
In a moment … He told how He’d already paid for this man’s folly, shame and strife …and
In a moment … He declared He’d paid the sentence …for the price was His own life… So,
In a moment … the one time convict slave to sin confessed, believed and now was spared …
In a moment …through the mercy, love and grace of the One True God who cared
In a moment …I once was like this convict slave with guilt and sorrows
In a moment … Jesus paid the price and gave me all tomorrows … so,
In a moment … hear my words and listen to advice … for
In a moment … already Jesus paid … and commuted death to life … so,
In a moment … for forgiveness fall on your knees and pray… for
In a moment … judgment happens … and no one … knows his day

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
