Golden Thread

When God Look down to earth and saw,
the hurting hearts...He said,
Because man has a desperate need,
...I'll give to him...A THREAD.
A THREADThat's strong enough to heel
each cut...each hurt...each pain,
that fills the seeking hearts that
search... for wholeness once again!
A NEEDLE too, I will supply,
to probe the inner parts...that
hide the deepest...darkest sin,
...within the human heart."
This THREAD...of God's own purest
gold...is Jesus...glorified,
THE NEEDLE...is the cross of wood,
...on which our Saviour died!
when Eve and Adam disobeyed,
they brought about THE FALL,
...it separated God from man,
...the DEEPEST cut of all.
But THE NEEDLE...Calvary's wooden
cross...and Jesus...THREAD OF GOLD
...were worthy...to reverse the
cut...and fill the gaping hole.
So man...with God's great love and
grace...can walk with Him once
more...through JESUS CHRISTour
GOLDEN THREAD...our KING...our
OPEN DOOR!

Everlasting Arms

Dear Lord...You are my haven...and my refuge,
...from danger...and the lure of worldly
charms...within Your loving sacrifice of
suffering...Your extended...safe...and
EVERLASTING ARMS!

I spent a lifetime...reaching out...to SOMEONE,
...not knowing when that SOMEONE...I would see,
until dear Lord the scales fell...and I saw
You...and Your EVERLASTING ARMS...outstretched
...to me!

I searched...and searched...for SOMEONE I
could cling to...ahead...in front...behind
...below...above...the SOMEONE that I
searched for...was a cross of wood that held
...Your EVERLASTING ARMS...outstretched
...in love.

These Blessed arms that comfort...soothe...and
hold me...as on this sea of sin and pain I
toss...were stretched...and nailed so cruelly
...at Golgotha...and fashioned...as a bridge
...for me to cross.

So confidently...I can walk to safety...from
danger...and the lure of worldly charms,
...because...dear Lord...You gave eternal
refuge...with Your love...Your life and
EVERLASTING ARMS!

Holy Rock

When our sovereign God almighty...in His
wisdom...led His people out of Egypt...
long ago...He gave to them a Rock...a
mighty mystery...from which water
... inexhaustible...would flow.
The wilderness...for forty years embraced
them...they wandered...in an agonizing
search...and as they stumbled blindly
...in the desert...THE ROCK sustained
...and satisfied...their thirst.
The water...cool and sweet...and never
ending...washed away all tiredness...
and pain...refreshing all the helpless
souls that thirsted...for hope...and
strength...and courage...once again.
Then almighty God one more...in His great
wisdom...when He saw His lost...and blind
...and lonely flock...to set them free
from sinful pride and hated...and gave them
Jesus...humble spring...and HOLY ROCK!
AGES...the ONLY water that can satisfy
...man's burning inner thirst that yearns
for fullness...from the Living Water
...earth CANNOT supply.
so Holy Spirit...please...sustain and
fill me...until Iam over-flowing...
chock-a-block...with the sanctifying
Water...of my Saviour...Jesus Christ...
Eternal Living Spring...and ROCK!

I just read this and whilst not in verse form wanted to share, it was written by Beverly Shepherd and based on
Gal 3:1-14 and Luke 10: 38-42

"Jesus does not mark our self-appointed tasks for effort - He looks for those who are listening closely enough to then do the projects He initiates."

Prayer
Jesus today, help me to choose what is better and not allow the "to do" list to distrct me from listening to the promptings of Your Spirit
