In His Name

BEING IN LOVE

BEING IN LOVE
 
Think back to when you met that man/woman that you just knew would
be the one. Remember when you realized/admitted to yourself that you loved
him/her?. Now remember how much you wanted to act like you were in a
movie, and yell to everyone in the football stadium "I love (fill in
the name)!"  You told family and friends how perfect he/she was; he/she was just
 what you were looking for.

 

      Well, I told THE LORD that I love Him today.

 

And He said to me, " How much do you love me ?
You haven't told anyone how good I've been to you.
You haven't shared how perfect my love is.
You haven't spread the good news that I am always there to
listen to your problems.
You haven't told your family how I helped you pay your bills
when you didn't have a high paying job, or how I got you a better
one.        You haven't shared with anyone how I took away that
addiction that would have cost you not only your job, but also that
man/woman that was just what you were looking for.
      So how much do you really love me?"

 

      So,  I said I would share with my friends and family (for
starters) just how wonderful, perfect, understanding, patient,
loving, unselfish, considerate and forgiving GOD really is.
 
       He has blessed me with a family that loves me and friends
that I can confide in.
 
       But even more than that, He has saved me from destruction I
couldn't even see coming.
 
      He gave to me the peace of knowing Him, and He has never
broken a promise.

 

       Truly He is the best thing that has ever happened to me .
        And I stand in my stadium today to tell to you all, " I LOVE
THE LORD !"
 
       BE BLESSED & SHARE THIS WITH SOMEONE ELSE .

Christians - By Maya Angelou

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting
"I'm clean living.'"
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and
forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of
this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be
my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be
strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry
on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of
success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my
mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be
perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth
it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of
pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His
name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than
thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace,
somehow!

This poem helps our
understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that
Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others"can be totally
dispelled.

ALL CHRISTIANS ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS!
