REVELATION 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
DEUTERONOMY 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Patience: More Than A Name
P A T I E N C E : M O R E T H A N A N A M E
There once was a girl who found it hard to maintain her temper and it seemed
Ever so often when one ruffled her “feathers” she would let out a loud scream.
Until, seemed no longer was her tiny little lips able to let out one more shout
When upset she stomped her feet jumping up and down in a frenzy all about
Child, why do you have no patience when upset and your temper you lose
Reflect your given name stead of going bout screaming aloud like a moose
Your name is Patience, and we do believe that you could if you only would
Find it your nature, if only you tried, and truly you know that you should
Patience, I have not, mother and father, for truly I find it too hard to obtain
Just perhaps what I need to have done is a change in my birth given name
For it seems impatience is the nature of which I was born with as a babe
For to change I can not do on my own, no, it is not possible, just no way
Patient’s parents explained to their daughter how there was truly a way
That her nature could change, if only she desired enough and prayed
Believing the Lord would change her, Patience prayed for that change
So now the poem has the correct title of ‘Patience: more than a name’
We read in Luke 21:18 “But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
In your patience possess ye your souls.” So, patience is to be cherished
No matter your name, your soul’s nature I pray reflects patience within
For without it, one truly is bound to find life much harder my dear friend
What ere’ your name should be, this nature as well can belong to you
If your prayer to the Lord is that he changes your nature, that He will do
Putting off the old man making your once so impatient soul brand new
Jesus waits patiently at your hearts door, asking to come live within you
In this world trials and tribulations, we shall have during our lifetime
Without Christ nature lives within our hearts one day we just may find
Our old man showing itself in such an unflattering fashion that I fear
The Holy Spirit shall not find our hearts suitable any more to come near

EPHESIANS 6 11-12 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
PSALMS 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
MATTHEW 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
ECCLESIASTES 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Luck of the Irish, Nay Nay Nay
LUCK OF THE IRISH, NAY NAY NAY
Should not I to dare but to differ with those who have this saying to say,
Luck of the Irish too often is said when good things come my and your way.
Me Irish blood testifies to my Maker nightly as me head on my pillow I lay
You see, my friend, tis God’s heavenly showers of blessings to us each day.

JOHN 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
