A Poem For All Jehovah's Witnesses and Good Will People

Black Friday in today's world Means to become successful Getting out of the red And earning profits instead of debt. But to Christians, It is the opposite Being in the black means Being covered with sins. We seek to be covered With the red blood of Christ For only then have we been made Righteous in God's eyes. At that moment we become rich Salvation is lavished upon us Heaven's glory shines on us We are given everlasting life. Red then becomes the color That we stand in forever Black sin turns God away from us Christ's red blood saves us.

Yet those few years Between birth and death Are the most precious for believers. For God came to earth He walked among men Teaching and giving His life for us. But He rose from death to life So that all who believed in Him Would also live again. For no one except the Father Knows when that will be All in Heaven and on earth Eagerly await that moment.

The angels will sing praises As Jesus comes back to claim His kingdom of believers Who will rejoice as He appears. Just imagine that moment As we see Him coming for us Sin and death will be conquered And forever Jesus will reign. The Christmas Tree is decorated It shimmers with lights and bulbs Atop sits a golden star That flickers with with brilliant lights.

It draws attention unto itself Even thought it makes no sound One sees in it Hope for a peaceful time. Yet this tree can not guarantee anything For man has put it there We enjoy looking at it But it cannot produce what we hope for. Only Christ in our lives As our redeemer and king Alone He is the only source Of the peace we so desire. Can you imagine the shepherds in the field Tending their flock on a cold night Suddenly angels proclaiming a message That came from God above. His majesty was declared by the angels On a cold night in Bethlehem All of heaven and earth will fall in wonder When in the clouds He returns again.

O God above we worship thee For you alone are worthy All praise and adoration belong to thee Hallelujah to the Lord most high. Long ago one silent night The light of the world appeared As a small babe in Bethlehem Bringing Heaven down to earth. His light shone for all to see The path to His Father above For when you believe in Jesus Salvation from sin you receive. Let His light shine out from you Let it guide someone to Him For all mankind must realize He is the only way to eternal life.

Let you light flicker strongly Do not dim or hide it Let others see the love of God Calling them to come unto Him. Long ago one dark night G od looked down to Earth He knew without His gift to us We would perish in sin. Let us than rejoice For God's great gift to us For on that night long ago Jesus came to save us. The Color of Christmas Joy. Bright and colorful are the lights of Christmas The world is aglow with color Each tree that stands adorned with lights Brings joy to all who see them.

Each bulb that burns brightly Shines a rainbow of color Together they blend beautifully Glowing joy for all who see them. The angels did sing and lit up the sky With glorious songs of praise Each angel worshipped the Son of God Bringing joy to the parents of this King. Let this Christmas time be a joy for you Let the colors you see brighten your life For on that Christmas Day so long ago God colored the world with His love.

He will lead and guide me To new depths of understanding His great love Will be revealed unto me. Out of darkness came a light So many years ago To earth it came to illuminate The birth of the Son of God. Over Bethlehem the light did stay To guide those who would believe That in a lowly stable was born Jesus Christ, our King.

Let the Light He brought to earth That night so long ago Shine out from you to all you meet To illuminate the glory of our Lord. Oh what a joy to behold The coming of our Lord. He meets us where we are Understanding all that we are going through. He leads us through this life To a new life in Him. For through Christ We live eternally with Him.

Every child here on earth Whispers Christmas' wishes For some they are for toys and treats Others wish for love. I look forward to the answers That come from Heaven above I know in my heart that my Christmas wishes Are treasured by my Father above. In an instant insurmountable joy will fill my heart. When I stand in heaven above God will smile at me. One moment I will be on earth, Yet in an instant I will be with Him. Oh how I long for that moment When my life will become eternally complete. Joy swells in my heart as I contemplate that life changing moment.

Yet that joy is mine now For within me Christ lives. The Words of God are like a bell Ringing His truth throughout the world. Can you hear what He says to you? Do you believe His words to be true? Each time He speaks and we believe His message rings with clarity. One day in heaven above The bells of all who believe will ring. They will announce the coming of the King To all who heard His message ring. The sleepy town of Bethlehem Home to shepherds and sheep Became one night long ago The birthplace of a King. Long before it happened Prophecies of old were told How one day Bethlehem Would be honored forever more.

For in a stable, not a home Christ our Savior was born Angel s and shepherds declared The majesty of our Lord. From that day forward One small city has known That on a quiet sleepy night The King of Kings was born. One Blessed Holy Night. One blessed night long ago Unto a mother a child was born Weary was she from the trip For they had traveled to Bethlehem.

In a stable, not a palace The birth of the babe took place Only Joseph and Mary were there to care for the Holy Infant. Yet Heaven rejoiced and the angels sang Of the glorious birth of this babe The shepherds that heard came to see Royalty in that common place. Heaven's peace to earth did come One silent night long ago In a stable in Bethlehem Christ the Lord was born.

To every person here on earth He offers eternal life For on that cross so long ago He gave up His life. In your hearts accept His gift of sacrificial love Let Him enter into you and reign in your heart For one silent night long ago Heaven's peace to earth did come. The day before Christ was conceived As a babe in Mary's womb. He sat upon His throne above Beside His beloved Father.

Son, you will be their Messiah, The Savior of the world. You will show them the one true way To eternal salvation. Each step you take, each work you way Will shake their lives completely. Their eyes will open, they will see The love I have for them. Your words will be sustenance Upon which they will grow. Your death will be Your final act as the Son of Man. Your resurrection will bring you back To your throne above.

Through your life and death below, Your followers will live again. For you will pay their debt in full Your righteousness will cover their sins. So go, My beloved, into the world Show them the way to me. Follow the path I have laid out for you To bring salvation to all who will believe. My hope is in Jesus He is the author of my salvation He alone sees my whole life. He will lead and guide me Through out each day When I follow after Him. Lean on Him - NEW!!! He is eternal and wise Limitless and all knowing Creator of your life Having plans for your every step.

For He loves you His plans are for your good Not for evil Giving us hope and a future. Until that glorious day comes I will live to serve and obey Him To live and breathe Jesus Daily in my life. For my soul calls out to Him To be filled and sustained by him Let Him direct my path His joy will be in me.

Come, oh Jesus, come My soul longs for thee To sing and worship thee All glory belongs to thee. Christ came into this world Filled with sin's darkness The angels sang brilliantly The star shed its light over Him. Once again Jesus will come In brilliance beyond all compare All will see His glorious power As He reigns forever more. God's Love is Amazing. God's steadfast love amazes me No matter how man changes God's love does not He does not withdraw from us. Man changes every moment Man's love is unstable It is changed by everything Yet God's love is not this way.

My Soul Calls Ou t. For only He is able To fill my soul full With deep abiding satisfaction Of knowing and honoring my King. Christ will come in triumph He will destroy all that is evil No one will stand with Him Unless you have accepted Him. God's peace has been promised To those who believe in Him It surpasses our understanding Protecting our hearts and minds. It comes to us as a gift When in Him we trust The more we give over to Him The more peace we will receive. Come to Him in humility Knowing it His timing we must trust Patiently wait for God's will To be unfolded in your life.

His peace is priceless It gives you rest beyond our grasp Be thankful for this sweet rest That comes from our Heavenly Father. Oh what a glorious Day it will be When Christ calls me home. Into His presence I will be ushered Seeing His love for me. Falling on my knees In worship of my Lord Praises will be flowing out of me. His face in glorious radiance Will look upon me His love encompassing me. Oh what a glorious Day it will be When into my Savior's arms I fall. When the storms of life Threaten to overtake me There is only one choice To being saved. God gave me a will To chooses my own path He also gave unto me The choice of being free in Him.

That choice is to follow Him Giving up my own will Letting Him lead and guide me Laying aside my personal choices. Only then can I be free True freedom that brings life Death will not swallow me Let Christ's freedom ring. We now belong to God's Family He provides blessings for His children Salvation, justification, and sanctification Are three that guide lead us to holiness.

No longer can sin Pollute and enslave us For the spilling of Christ's blood Has delivered us. This sealing also shows That we are separated From this world Set apart for God. For a sinner was I Unworthy to be looked upon Blackness surrounded me No light penetrated my soul. Israel was led by God Out of Egypt they came God provided all they needed Yet all they did was complain.

He had a promised land for them An inheritance given just to them Yet all they did was grumble How Egypt had been better for them. How we are like them God promises us an inheritance Eternal life with him in Heaven above Yet many have rejected Him. Many has not changed We are sinners from birth Do not me one who rejects Jesus Embrace God's inheritance for you. Oh how I long in anticipation For the coming of my Lord For sin will be defeated Christ will rule forever more.

No longer a sinner am I For by the blood of the Lamb I have been redeemed. To earth He did come to die So men could be justified Becoming heirs to God. Let me no longer look Upon myself as a sinner But as a child of the Living God. I was lost and all alone Falling into sin at every turn No one who cared about my soul Until Jesus called my name. I turned around when I heard His loving voice beckoning me To listen to His words of life That could save me forevermore.

His Truth never leaves me Is is the path for my soul God's Spirit whispers to me His words of wisdom. My heart's desire is to display Jesus to others I meet Let the fruit of His love Shine in my life today. I pray for understanding And for wisdom Let me know what it means To say Your grace is enough. Continue to reveal to me Your perfect gift To know what it cost you To give me life. In this world I sin And fall short of your glory Death should be mine But thou has saved me. For by your hand of righteous Your Son was my sacrifice He paid my costly debt So I might live not die.

My love is for you alone In you I have faith and hope For you are my God. His plans are not harmful They are planned in love They are meant to help me And always to glorify my Father. A sinner am I by birth Separated and lost from God Only the blood of the perfect Lamb Bought my redemption from death. He lovingly calls my name Restoring me unto Himself What radical love he has For me and all mankind. The wonderful grace of Jesus Given to all mankind The angels don't comprehend This gift from God above.

Mankind should be an example As all of Heaven looks down For what they should see is Jesus Looking back at them through us. Let that love grow in me Until it falls like a waterfall Pouring out of me Rushing powerfully. Let it fall over others Who need your love and peace Let them feel your power Entering into their souls. To thee I relinquish Every detail of my life Guide me in each step Of the journey of my life.

It seems I look in all the wrong places Trying on my own to find Him Working with all my might Never encountering Him. Yet all I need to do Is to sit and be quiet He will enter into me Filling every empty corner. Wash all of me Make me clean within Let my tongue confess Your deep love for me. Let your Spirit guide me To your thoughts and deeds Let my nature die within me Let your holiness surround me. All honor and glory Are for you alone For who else would love me Except my Creator.

2. Does God say that one religion will replace another?

For you are the giver Of everything I need For you provide and equip me For each day's journey. No condemnation, no condemnation Jesus ever gave to mankind Only mercy He showed to us Only mercy and His grace. To others what do we show Man is quick to judge Man is quick to condemn In this what do we show to others. Let us turn and look Into the eyes of Jesus Let us then turn and look at man Through the eyes of our Lord. In those times of despair Your words comfort me For you have declared Your great love for me. Through the renewing of my soul Every day of my life My stance upon His foundation Will remain firm and steadfast.

Communicating with God daily Through prayer, study and mediation Are the building blocks That keeps my stance firm. Storms of life will come my way Threatening to knock me astray In the armor of God I will dress To battle whatever comes my way. Through Christ I will extend my hand To others who are slipping away To help them reestablish a firm stance On their foundation in Jesus Christ. Therefore let us all join together To stand firmly in our Lord For He is the cornerstone of our foundation Upon Him we may always rely. The Way to Salvation -.

I Love Myself Affirmation Deep at the centre of my being, there is an infinite well of love. And so it is. My Prayer Lord, on that old rugged cross of Calvary You shed your blood and suffered agony. The vase can be in thousands of pieces, but nothing happens to the air, except lose its shape.

God took on the form of man, in Jesus. He took on the shape of man, but Jesus was never only man. On the cross, Jesus paid for our sin and removed the barrier that stood between us and him. Because of his death, we can be at peace with God. Though we were guilty, the justice of God was fully met by Jesus, the Lamb of God who suffered for us. And the love of God was fully expressed in that Jesus willingly laid down his life for us. You may say, "That's not fair. We don't deserve Jesus' dying for us. But this was God's solution for us.

Do we tell God how it must be? Jesus paid our penalty of death, so that we would not need to die for our sins. He wants us to come into relationship with him, to know his love, and to have eternal life. There was a righteous judge who would not take bribes. A lady was caught and brought before him. The penalty she might have to pay was a life sentence or a huge sum of money which she did not have. The judge asked her, "Are you guilty or not? I cannot pay the money. Please have mercy on me. Life sentence or the sum of money. She starts screaming and wailing, and they dragged her out of the courtroom to prison.

The judge took off the robe, and walked out of the court. He then walked to the treasury. And right there at the treasury, he paid all the money he had and paid the ransom for that girl. Because he loved the girl very much. She was his daughter.

And he redeemed his daughter himself, with everything he had. When the judge took off his robe, he became like any other man. And that's exactly what Jesus did. He left heaven, took off the robe of glory, and became like any other man. And he died for us, so our sins would no longer condemn us and keep us eternally separated from God.

All the prophets said that Jesus would come and die for the sins of the world. Jesus is the only hope for mankind to have eternal life. Back at the beginning with Adam and Eve, God told Satan that an offspring of a woman would crush Satan's head, and mankind would be redeemed. Jesus' death and resurrection overcame the power of Satan. Jesus overcame sin, death, and our separation from God There is only one God.

Here is what we know is true of God:. God is eternal - has always existed, exists now, and will always exist. God is holy - without fault, perfect. God is truth - his word stands always, unchanging, reliably true. God is present - everywhere, at all times. God is powerful - no limit to his power. God is all-knowing - he has full knowledge of everything, always. God is creator - nothing exists that is not created by him.

And all of the above is true of him. We know this because Scripture reveals this to be true of God. He has chosen to make himself known to humankind, to reveal this about himself to us. Scripture also reveals that Jesus possesses these exact same characteristics as God. As does the Spirit of God. For example, let's take eternal. Scripture says of Jesus, "He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. Also, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. On earth, we live in a three-dimensional world. Each person has height, width and depth. Two people might look something like each other.

They might have similar interests, similar occupations. But a person cannot actually be the same as another person. They are distinct individuals. God, however, lives without the limitations of a three-dimensional universe. And he is infinitely more complex than we are. That is why Jesus the Son can be different from the Father. And, yet the same. The Bible clearly speaks of: But it also clearly tells us that there is only ONE God. When Isaiah stated, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Jesus said that to know him was to know God. To see him was to see God. To believe in him was to believe in God. To see more about Jesus life and how he proved these statements, please see the article "Beyond Blind Faith. However, there is something else about God that you should know. He loves you and cares about you. Jesus tells us, ""As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. Jesus invites us, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. All of the struggles to try to do enough for God Jesus offers us a new freedom.

We experience his love, and we have a new motivation to please God. It is not out of fear, but out of joy in knowing him. If you'd like to understand what it is that Jesus is offering you, please see "Beyond Blind Faith.
