Free Verse Moment: Lord, You are Awesome! (4856 hits)

Lord, You are awesome!

Thank you, Lord, for being You...
for giving me clues
on how to be true
to the You living in me...
through me;

Lord, You are awesome!

For lessening both sinfulness
and unnecessary enmity;
For the imparting of Your will in my ears,
rendering a hearing me...
For imparting Your example daily
for me to see...

Lord, You are awesome!

For leaving ample opportunity
for the You in me
to shine as the light
set on a hill;
For Your will,
Your way,
Your plan,
Your say.
Please, keep giving
the opportunity
to live for the You
abiding in me.

Lord, You are awesome!

Dee--
This is so beautiful. Your refrain 'THE YOU LIVING IN ME" is the most wonderful and inspiring description of how close and intimate, how real and how accessible the DIVINE SOURCE really is.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES NOT WITH OBSERVATION. NEITHER SHALL THEY SAY, LO HERE! OR LO THERE! FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
PEACE AND BLESSINGS ALWAYS TO YOU!!!

Hello to all,

While I feel that all of you have good intentions towards God you must also realize that no people, including Black Americans who are descendents of slaves, has the right to choose who their prophet or Lord and Savior should be. That decision is exclusively reserved for God-self.

In other words, Black Americans you have not the right to choose Jesus or anyone else as your Lord and Savior.

God has already chosen your prophet for you.

Likewise, the Jewish people had not the right to choose whether they wanted Jesus as their prophet. Likewise, the children of Israel had not the right to choose whether they wanted Moses as their prophet. This decision is exclusively reserve for God-self to make. Likewise, the Arabian people had not the choice to choose if Mohammed should be their prophet. In other words, no people have the right to choose or say who their prophet should be.

By the same principle, Black Americans including all of you have not the right to choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God has already chosen your prophet for you.

Have I made myself understood?

Tell me what you think.

Prophet Harry,

I don't know anyone else who would be so insensitive as to turn a beautiful expression of personal faith and joy toward a political harangue we have all heard a zillion times. Please show some discretion.

And I will not sully this post further, please restrain yourself.

Steve Williams

Harry, I'm ignoring you and praying for you at the same time. Oh wait, a scripture that is surely appropriate for this moment from Romans 8:38-39:

"38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Amen.

Okay, NOW, I'm ignoring you and praying for you at the same time.

Steve, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for squashing before it can sprout wings. I also appreciate your kinds words and am happy you could take something positive from it. Amen. Praise God.

Blessings...

Harry, every time you post to one of my blogs with your usual nonsense, I will immediately delete your comments.

Have a blessed day.

My first thought was, I should like to hear a poem from Harry.

Tuesday, December 22nd 2009 at 12:54AM
Steve Williams

This is what I would call a poem of praise! Exaltation of the Lord in words. To praise is giving gratification and thanksfulness which a person offers to the Lord. Let us praise him for He is worthy of praises! Harry Dear it is RIGHT to praise the Lord!

This is a wonderful poem sister, please keep doing what you do.

Harry, as has been said, you just don't get it, or refuse to. Somewhere I heard it said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. (I think it was some movie I saw as a child, but I think maybe you had a deprived childhood.)

Wednesday, December 23rd 2009 at 3:56PM
Steve Williams

Keeping true to my word, all of Harry's messages beyond the one I responded to from 12/18/09 HAVE BEEN DELETED.

To everyone who posted comments, THANK YOU for your kind words of support in my outward exhortation of our Father. And thanks for pretty much ignoring you know who.

Love Ya'll!!!!!!!

Blessings...

Harry, as you have been deleted, I would suggest you reply to me on one of my blogs, any one will do.

Steve Williams

Dee, I see my last comments were not necessary, sorry. Your poem is lovely.

Wednesday, December 23rd 2009 at 4:08PM
Steve Williams

Dee your more than welcome. This is a very lovely poem and with that being said. Please continue to show your love for our Father.

Dee:
It is amazing to me to see how much commentary your wonderful little expression of faith and joy has provoked. I think I am #230 to read it--and good for you! This gem deserves to be wrtten in the sky!!! After your beautiful words, nothing more needs to be said--except "AMEN"!

Richard Kigel

Well Harry, when you say that the blog belongs to everyone, that is not correct. This is because the administrators have rightly given the author of the blog the ability to delete responses to their blogs. You will be deleted again and this is Dee's prerogative. You may comment on my blog, Inappropriate Comments, and I will not delete you. But I do not find fault with Dee's decision.

Wednesday, December 23rd 2009 at 6:05PM
Steve Williams

Hello that was such a beautiful spiritual poem, why are not certain comments deleted already? Always remember that the greater the God for, the greater the devil against and we all have to die, there is no debating that and we will all find out anyway. Misery loves company, can you imagine certain people in person?
Delete ignore. Obviously obsessive compulsive.
I have a Cousin the Minister at my Church state all you can do is present the truth and let ABBA do the rest.
"Why argue that there is a steak on the table and there is not?" If no steak on the table as a person may say, if they believe 100%, who is unstable? Their own words condemn them, demons and devils acknowledge Jesus, they just try to persuade others there is not.
Just keep doing what you do and certain people disappear.
Joel Osteen preached a wonderful msg. on letting God...
Certain ppl. are so miserable with themselves, they find no joy in nothing...
But they complain about choice and not pushing stuff on other people, personally and publicly, but are the biggest offenders.

Hope all is well and that you are having a wonderful Holiday season.
Just giving my 2cents of well-meaning. I had to say something in respect and giving credit where due to a Lady.
God bless
Sincerest,
William

Harry, you've been deleted once again. In case you've missed it, I say what I mean and mean what I say. It's taken me a minute, but every time I see in this blog, I will delete it. Steve, thank you for understanding.

And William, first, thank you for your well wishes and your positivity. Secondly, thank you for being so incredibly REAL in your response about the enemy's role in our lives. You are so right and I appreciate your words and encouragement more than you know!!!!

Blessings...

Sister Dee, having just read those last three questions just directly above this comment is an example why I have come back just now to read your poem again...those questions and your poem shows how you can still say kinds words and be so patient when the devil sends his workers after you as he has on this blog over and over again...

Now I will go read your relaxing and peacful poem again so that I can get back in to my happy place I was in before reading that whole comment.(smile)

thanks for being this blessing...
