I LOVE YOU TOO
Posted by: | CommentsHey everyone, here’s another poem to enjoy by a good friend of the JC site, Steve Alberts.
I Love You Too
I see the sun when it breaks the horizon
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever laid eyes on
Changing the sky from darkness to bright blue
What can I say?
I love You too…
I see the plants, trees, and flowers stretching toward heaven
As if longing to spend just a little time in your presence.
Their green leaves and strong branches reaching desperately up into the blue
What can I say?
I love You too…
I see the mountains, their gorgeous peaks
I see the canyons and valleys beneath
Both so majestic, such a beautiful view.
What else can I say?
I love You too…
I see the looks on my daughters faces
I stare with wonder at them. How amazing!
They look like their mother…
THANKS FOR THAT!
And I love You too…
I see who I was back before I knew you
I thought going to church was something that fools do
With kindness you drew me and made me brand new.
I can just barely whisper,
I love You too.
I look at the Cross and how Jesus died,
Then rose from the grave, declaring your followers justified
You say to my spirit “I did it for you”
I CAN’T HELP BUT SHOUT IT…
I LOVE YOU TOO!!!
I see that I’m perfect in the eyes of the father
Holy, Righteous, Sinless, even Spotless
Not only saved, but I’ve been adopted!
I stand on your promise.
I love You too…
I see Grace is sufficient like the Bible reminds me
To keep what’s in my past where it belongs- behind me.
You say “I’ll never leave, never forsake you”
What else can I say?
I love You too!
I see that I’m nothing like the man I once was
All this is possible because You first loved US
God…
I love You too!
A Time For Others
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s a time for everything under heaven
A time for me, myself and I
A time for my clothes
My car, TV
A time to think about mine and me
My wage, my job
My house, my hair
A time to think about what I’m going to wear
Yes, there’s a time
Lots of them in fact
When I’m at the centre
Where everything’s at
HERE AM I!
Oh My God!!!

OH MY GOD!!
One day we’re out Walkin’
Just walkin’ and talkin’
And you say it….
We all do sometimes…
OH MY GOD!
I don’t catch it at first
‘cuz it’s such a common verse.
But then it hits me…
HARD…
Right in the face.
And I’m instantly transported to that place
That place deep in my Heart-Mind
Where He talks to me all the time.
My prayer closet, spirit wallet, whatever it is you wanna callit..
You know the place…
It’s where you bow your head
Or lift your face
Or raise your hands and sing His praise…
THAT PLACE
Now we’re still walkin’
And you’re still talkin’
And what you said you’ve long forgotten…
Then I really start to think.
What you said…
It fills my head…
OH…..MY…..GOD
My…..GOD
MY…..GOD
The Biblical Covenants from Eden to Eternity

THE ETERNAL COVENANT…
In eternities past,
Before time ticked its primary moment –
When all that lived was the Three-in-One,
Within the counsel of the Godhead
The yearning heart of love
Cried for something even their all-sufficiency alone could not satisfy.
Among themselves an agreement was made –
An Everlasting Covenant
to encompass all that would follow –
Irrevocable contracts that would shape the answer to love’s desire –
A companion for the Son of the Father’s love,
Of equal standing, of like-character
A holy, anointed, blameless and beautiful bride.

The Gift

“Creator worked intimately preparing His Gift, poring over every detail.
“It will be perfect!” he delighted, as he carefully completed the finishing touches. He was to send the Gift at an appointed time. It is just what they need, he said to his Messenger.
Joyfully, the Gift was wrapped, and Messenger made his way to the fortunate recipients of such an offering.
Creator was happy.
He knew that no life would remain unchanged once the Gift was received.”

Heaven’s Customs
Posted by: | CommentsI bowled up to the officers at customs. “You’ll have to surrender your self reliance”, they informed me, “and any hope of earning or deserving any entrance.” Placing my motheaten garment on the scanning machine I walked through to the other side, waiting for its appearance as it rolled along the conveyor. Out it came, but…
