MATTHEW 6:33-34 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
GRACE HAS A FACE
Look in the mirror, and what do you see a reflection of
Mercy and grace of our holy Father from on high above
Unmerited favor of God for this soul’s reflection we see
Let us thank our Lord and Savior upon our bended knees
See the eyes of a soul looking back and closely observe
Ask what is it I might have said or done to possibly deserve
Gift of a new day of life on this earth of which I now dwell
I am not fit to be held worthy of anything less than hell
What reason did God have bringing me to this day I am in
What could he have been thinking to even want to send
This sinner guilty of so many audacious multiple sins
Into another day here on earth, even calling me friend
Unmerited favor toward all those that will believe
Choosing to walk in the light of his word received
Repenting of all our sins asking forgiveness we cry
Believing we receive a new life even if here we die
Nothing i do or say can ever take even one my sins away
Crimson they are and crimson forever they would stay
Were it not for the grace of my Savior who alone paid
The high price of my debt and now they are taken away

MATTHEW 7:7-8 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
DONKEY’S TAIL
Donkey in the well how did you get in there
I cannot see how without there were stairs
It’s so far down that I barely am able to see
What will you do, someone help him please
No one can do it; it is not possible they say
He’s too far down, in the bottom he’ll stay
Not that we don’t care, really, we do indeed
It’s just that there’s no solution we can see
So, we began to cover him up, to fill the well
Ever so sad that into the well he had fell
He was such a sweet donkey to have around
But now we must bury him deep in the ground
What’s this we see, why he’s on higher ground
With each new shovel of dirt, we pitch down
Why he’s shaking the dirt right off of his back
And I do believe he’s smiling, now that’s a fact
Lo and behold, he’s climbing over the well
And, and all I see now is the back of his tail
Because he has trotted off to the barn
And with nary a single sign of bodily harm
The moral of this tail, I would like you to see
When all hope is gone, there is hope indeed
Never give up on God bringing you to where
He wants you to be, even without any stairs

ROMANS 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
PSALMS 1:1-2 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
STRANGER AT MY DOOR
I saw a stranger in the street along life’s way.
He was knocking on people’s doors both night and day.
Asking all that would hear his voice speak.
Won’t you let me in for I am lowly and meek?
But no one would hear him their door they had barred.
And I saw the stranger crying so pitifully loud and hard.
Why don’t you want my presence within your dwelling?
And then mine own heart within my soul I found failing
Failing to comprehend the true price that this man in the street.
Had paid so that one and all might someday be able to meet.
In a paradise beyond the realm, we now live in as our present home.
To live in mansions, he is preparing in his kingdom round his throne.
Then I looked again only to see in front of my lowly eyes.
No longer was the man to be seen but something else that did fly.
Upon the apex of my heart doeth it linger within my very soul
And I must have its story to everyone i know told.
This dove’s wings have lighted not only upon my heart today.
But also, has brought the light that once had been so far away.
To the point that the glimmer of its rays now touched my very insides.
Now i am covered with Christ robe of righteousness and I am alive.
Now I ask each one this question and ask you to tell the truth.
Has this small white dove’s wings by you ever been bruised?
Did you also like I brush it aside with the sweep of your hand?
Not knowing it had been sent to you by this meek and lowly man.
Jesus said I am meek and lowly in heart and now I understand.
Mankind’s sins have burdened his load as he walked this earth’s land.
Causing him pain and suffering undeserved ore and ore again.
When all God wanted to do was walk beside us holding our hand.

PSALMS 73:25 – 73:26 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
