You are God's gift; ma miracle,
Created as His eye's apple,
Cherished evidently with your dimples,
My fine girl; no pimples...
You are great-
You represent God's image.
In the faith, image is everything;
Now it's clear, why you are awesomely beautiful...
I love you,
You have a good heart.
Your pure conscience
Shows the growth, from then tilll now...
I am proud of you,
You've become; most I asked Him for-
My special
You certainly are special
I love you
I pray to always DO!!!
This is dedicated to you, Twiny, Muaah.

From before the beginning of time
You did already measure me out,
did determine my humanity and character.
You did know
when I would fall and stand up again
and if I do forget
Your love and sacrifices
I ask that You bring me back to You again.

What kind of power did flow out of You
when mere speech did change into solid matter,
when light and gasses did suddenly appear,
when water did start to exist and spread
and the fruitful soil and minerals did only start to exist
when many living plants organisms, animals,
birds, fishes and man got an own life?
It’s the kind of science that no man can understand,
that makes energy and things come from nothing
and do exist in intricate systems and forms
that is designed masterly
to function together as a whole
that had resulted from Your words
as everything that are and has been
and that which we still will find.

The first is my window blinds.
Slats with pull cords
Between light and dark.
The second is my carpet.
A magic carpet of wine tracks
Notated by cannabis tacks.
The third is the cigarette tin
In which I keep my addiction
To loose change and nicotine.
Fourth, a few fossils
I found on a beach
In primeval childhood.
Next to last my old pool cue.
I play impossible shots
On imaginary tables.
Finally, a faded photograph
In inexpensive frame
Of someone loved and lost.

Time sets upon the arcane taboos
you wear the unknown fear
like cowries around your neck,
a bulletproof jacket did not work,
the fish in the brain
was the religion.
Whom do you trust now
in the caveful of seekers? They were demanding
every dropp of your blood from a waning relic.
Climbing Mt Everest was a raw deal,
dismantling the heights
like plasma, as naked as the ice on unmarked grave.
Hyper-sided, the priest was confused
in repetition of a prayer,
and the floor trembled in uplifting the god.

The Only High Priest has told me so, when I die where I’ll go,
That High Priest I speak of, is Jesus Christ in Heaven above,
He said I would be in Paradise, this because of His Sacrifice,
Not about anything I have done, but by the act of God’s Son.
He had acted for you and me, to settle our accounts eternally,
“It is finished” He had cried, before on that cross He had died,
The only Lamb of Righteousness, dying on behalf of all of us,
Paying the price we could not, so life in God, could be our lot.
That lot in life starts down here, for men moved by Godly fear,
That all are under condemnation, that requires God’s Salvation,
Through the High Priest above, sent for sinners by God’s love,
To that wicked cross at Calvary, the Substitute for you and me.
He’s the Author of Salvation for, every man and so much more,
Not merely man’s Only Savior, but Christ is The Eternal Creator,
Creator of every living soul, the only One Who makes us whole.
While they live upon the earth, through salvation’s second birth.
Born Again into the Family of God, while upon this earthly sod,
Sealed forever by God’s Spirit; so condemnation I won’t fear it,
Where I will be as Christ said, so God’s judgment I don’t dread,
In Heaven I will be after this life, living forever with Jesus Christ.

All men upon this earthly sod, need to know The Truths of God,
Truths, revealed by The Creator, that leads a soul to The Savior,
Truths, found in God’s Revelation, lead a wise soul to Salvation,
Only through The Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal Author, of every life.
Knowing God created everything, the earth, sky and every being,
God created all in seven days, to God’s Glory and God’s Praise,
Finishing with man it’s understood, God saying it was very good,
But with Eve Satan had his way, creating all the sin we see today.
God gave man his life and breath, creating him to not see death;
Satan asking, is God truly over all, caused Adam and Eve to fall,
With Eve accepting Satan’s Lie, Adam and Eve will now surly die,
Now, both forced from Paradise, separated from the Tree of Life.
From the Fall God would curse, creation, which has gotten worse,
Just look around and you can see, man is truly lost in his iniquity,
Truly lost and in need of a Savior, man must return to his Creator,
Christ, the Author of Salvation, God’s only Hope for every nation.
Alienated from God, all men die, a path that only God can rectify,
Done by God upon that Cross, for all men who are spiritually lost,
Now separated from God by sin, they can receive New Life within,
Forgiven of sin, when they believe, Eternal Life, they shall receive.

All Believers need to be faithful, as they follow The Lord’s Will.
For as we mature in Jesus Christ, faithfulness grows in our life,
As we travel this earthly sod, standing firm in the Word of God,
As His witness to this world, as God’s Truth we faithfully herald,
When we live out faithfulness, The Spirit, helps us in obedience,
On earth when we stay occupied, so our labor cannot be denied,
Committed to our Lord, Jesus Christ, we serve Him all of our life,
With The Savior’s coming near, for our Lord Jesus, we persevere.
Because of The Father’s faithfulness, we can be faithful to Jesus,
With God’s mercy new each day, we can face trial, along the way,
In God’s strength and His power, we will stand in the darkest hour,
Just as Moses and David friend, we can be faithful up to the end.
As stewards and servants of Christ, faithfulness is vital in this life,
Due to the resurrection of Christ, we can stand in a world of strife,
When the course is not very clear, to The Lord, we must draw near,
Knowing our frames are but dust, in The Risen Savior we can trust.
In God’s Power, with His Grace, we hold to our profession of faith,
As we must not grow weary friend, as we serve God up to the end,
In our faithfulness there’s reward, when in Heaven we see The Lord,
For through our faithfulness to Christ, believers we reap eternal life.

Everyone is accountable to God, every living soul on earth’s sod,
Accountable to the very Creator, whether or not He is their Savior,
As God above cannot be denied, though to many, Satan has lied,
Even while many continue to insist, that, God above doesn’t exist.
No matter what rationale they use, all men shall be without excuse,
While no one’s life will be ignored, when all stand before The Lord,
God’s Judgment all will receive, even if, in God, you don’t believe,
As all souls, both big and small, shall stand before The Lord of all.
Everyone will be judged my friend, when this life comes to an end,
As all men meet their Creator, Christ, as their Judge or their Savior,
Friend, everyone can be assured, you’ll see God as Judge or Lord,
As Believers and unbelievers too, shall see that God’s Word is true.
Believers will see the Bema Seat, where Judgment will be complete,
For all of their works for The Lord, for, receiving or not their reward;
Unbelievers at The Great White Throne, before The Lord God, alone,
Judged for unbelief and iniquity, then cast from God for all eternity.
God is The Creator of our life, so we’re responsible to Jesus Christ,
Who has been given all Authority, as The Judge, over all of Eternity.
Judging those who don’t believe, as eternal wrath they shall receive,
While those who believe in Christ, will receive from Him, Eternal Life.

Minds are being prepared my friend, for a darker time, come the end,
When that darkness poses as light, that shall be darker than the night,
After God’s Church is removed, a charismatic leader will be approved,
By all those remaining in the world, with a dark agenda to be unfurled.
Being promoted to the world’s stage, world problems he shall engage,
Promising all the nations prosperity, he’s a misleading man of iniquity,
Promising a new world of plenty, through his lies he will destroy many,
All through a power, not of his own, he’ll even challenge God’s Throne.
Filled by Satan, this leader is sent, to formulate with Israel, a covenant,
The covenant to last for seven years, to put to rest their ongoing fears,
From fear of the enemies all around, peace with all nations will abound,
A false peace Israel will not see, being deceived by the man of iniquity.
After the covenant he will break, any thought of peace he shall forsake,
After forsaking peace with a nod, he’d proclaim the very power of God,
This as he leads every single nation, to the time of the Great Tribulation,
This not only upon the Nation Israel, but, all those outside of God’s Will.
Friend, Satan today is preparing minds, for his deceptive dark designs,
As God’s Truth the nations deny, they’ll embrace Satan’s deceptive Lie,
Leading many to deny Jesus Christ, they’ll instead embrace Anti-Christ,
Led down that dark deceptive path, only to see God’s Righteous Wrath.
