Marcia's Poem of the Week 1/21/2022

 "GOD'S WILL IS LOVE" taken from John 7:17, "Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own." And from Matthew 22:36-40: 36, “'Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”  37 Jesus replied, ‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’  38 This is the first and greatest commandment.  39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”'


"GOD'S WILL IS LOVE"

God's Love keeps you holy,
For it is He who fills your need,
And should you fear for safety,
He's the safest place to be.
 
Your life may not be simple,
But your Lord will provide,
For surviving is fundamental,
But you have God on our side.
 
In His presence you're not hopeless,
If you keep your sights on Love,
You'll receive His Spirit when helpless,
For Love is sent from God thereof.
 
When in trouble call His name,
And be lifted-up from strife,
And cleave to Him to maintain,
A new way of living life.
 
For God's Love keeps you holy,
As He supplies your every need,
Choose Him to hold you steady,
His Love's the safest place to be.

For my great grandson's: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah
 
"GOD'S WILL IS LOVE" John 6:17
 
Choose to do the will of God,
And you'll do the will of the Son,
Choose to hear and read Jesus' Word,
And you'll know He and God are one.
 
For the Lord makes you righteous,
And His Holy Spirit gives a hand,
And you'll be able to open blind eyes,
Through His salvation plan.
 
He'll open your heart to the lonely,
The broken and the hurting,
He'll open your mind to the hungry,
For the truth, and for the telling.
 
So, take your love this hour,
To others through-out your day,
And know God gives His power,
To show true love His way.

  Poem of the Week by Marcia 9/24/2021   “ONE WHO SERVES” Reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at things people look at; people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.” And on , Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”   “ ONE WHO SERVES”   Each En-Gedi God creates, Where a servant is assigned, Is to exemplify integrity, And bring unity to mankind.   To pray for those that serve, Is a joy and privilege, For the nature of a call, Is to love and encourage.   For together we are stronger, And together we are one, For God loves His people, And leads us through His Son.   Where we learn His holy word, And receive His Spirit's peace, We are sealed by His blood, Where fear and worry

  Marcia's Poem of the Week Reflecting on Genesis 45:4, 5, & 9-11 “GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU” Forgiveness is really difficult. But holding an unforgiving spirit can make one sick. This story was one of the best stories for me to understand that God shows us how forgiveness works. Joseph could have been angry with his brothers and with God. And who could blame him. How many times have you been angry with God or someone else? Joseph was able to see that God's work took time. You can be sure that when you are hurting God is working to make things right. Talk to God, be patient, wait and watch Him work. God will take care of you.  In Genesis 45 we can read how God took care of Joseph and his family. Genesis 45: 4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here a
