The Sun, The Son

I don't think it's any accident that we love the days where can feel, and see the sun. The sun seems to give us a renewed energy, we feel better under its light, and it embraces us with warmth. Nobody ever plans to go on vacation to a dark place. So it is with our Jesus, God's son. He is the true light of the world even in the darkest spots. He can instantly fill us with joy on a bad day. He provides us with His warmth.Enjoy your Son today!

Be the Storm

Long Story Short

Painting and Poem by Samarazone

Long Story Short

God created the earth and the seas.

He brought forth Adam then he made Eve.

They messed things up and now we all die.

So He sent Moses to help us see why.

He gave 10 commandments, to all of his people.

They built up churches and threw in a steeple.

They made more rules and called it religion.

God shook his head and knew he'd forgive them.

Then He sent Jesus who lived without sin.

He died on the cross, and now lives again.
Yet, there is one catch, it's a bit of a shift,

You can accept Jesus,  He is your gift.

After you do you'll be known as a Christian.

You won't be perfect, but you'll be forgiven.

A change will take place deep in your spirit.

You'll want the kingdom, it's what you inherit.

You will try to be good, helpful and kind.

People may hate you with God on your mind.

You'll still have free will, and use your own brain.

The choices you make may cause you some pain.

But when your life ends and you stand before God

Jesus will be there and towards Heaven he'll nod.

Where's the Love?

Heart Speaks

If I speak in fear, my heart will fill with holes,
Overcome my life; complicate my soul.

If I speak with jealousy, I'm just wasting time.
God put you on one path, he also gave me mine.

If I speak of past, my hurts, and my pains,
Never forgiving, my legacy is stained.

If I speak in lies, enjoying my deceptions,
Satan owns my tongue, without any exceptions.

If I speak in hate, I leave my good behind,
Thistles choke my heart; contaminate my mind.

If I speak in gossip, soon I'll discover,
My soul starts to wither; I may never recover.

If I speak in pride, shame will conquer me,
I'll be humiliated, for everyone to see.

But if I speak lovingly I am planting tiny seeds,
That one day may grow up, to be flowers instead of weeds.

~ Jules St. Jermaine~

Peace

For many years, I've chosen a theme under which I try to keep my focus for the entire year, kind of like a New Year's resolution. I research my word and learn as much about it as I can. My goal is to incorporate as much as possible into my everyday living, believing, and behavior. Sometimes I fail, and some days I succeed, but it's proven to be a journey that's worth it.

Some of the words I've chosen in the past are,  Mercy, Peace, Rest, and Love. Of all my choices, mercy has been my favorite, and peace was my most trying. God gave me some severe challenges with that one. So in the spirit of peace, I would ask you to join me, and have a God Blessed year.


Blessed are peacemakers for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5:9 NIV
