EASE NOT THYSELF!



O believer, Ease not thyself! 

The race is long and far, 
Tarry not in the dungeon of despair, 
Lest your heart is worn out of repair. 
Bend not to the outer cravings,
For it will Ease your heart beat for Christ. 

Daily beckon on fresh grace, 
That your heart may be greener with grace, 
Hearken not to the buzzling tempter,
Lest he drains Christ's riches out of you. 

Dance not to every music of your thought, 
Lest you're taken to the den of the devil's thought, 
Ease not, your inner cogitation about Christ
Lest you're lost from Christ's fresh wisdom. 

Ease not to bask in the Sun of Righteousness, 
Lukewarmness is knocking at the door of your heart, to lurk in there, 
Open not the door, instead cry for the dew of heaven to fall on your heart. 


Your inner cry should be,


"Oh Lord! Make not my soul, a wandering bird cast out of its nest,
Let not my branches be stretched out over the sea and your gladness taken away by my indolence and negligence. Lord! Let not the principal root of the plant that holds the shards of my heart together never be uprooted"

O believer! Ease not the morning dew
Of Christ poured out on your soul
For it will make your heart greener.
Be calm! Yours is a pasture that is greener.

IT WAS HIS LOVE

T'was my sin cord that led Christ to the cross, T'was his love cord that held him on the cross, Where he paid the price and suffered; The bound sacrifice was offered, Unto God that I might from sin be freed.  Once a selfish man I pondered, About selfless Christ I wondered, How on earth a man should choose to die alone? Separated from his Father,  Left in darkness, just to gather, Scattered folks whose sins he came to atone? Never was it human weakness,  Not was it 'cos he was friendless, That he gave his head, his sides, his hands, his feet - To the nails he was willing, Cup of suffering he was drinking, For my sins a perfect sacrifice was meet - Bleeding from his offered fullness, Crucified without a witness, Up he hung, down he looked and loud he cried! How he said "forgive them Father, For their sake he'll take the slander Then he sighed, freely bled and so he died! So dear friend present your bodies, To this Saviour, all your goodies, Crucified with him be dead...

COME TO JESUS AND BE HEALED!

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.  And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Luke 8:43 - 48.  Are you suffering from any infirmity, disease or ailment?  Come to Jesus and be healed! Is it asthma, diabetes, cancer or body pain? Jesus has the cure for them al...

BEYOND MERE EXISTENCE

Image
Why does it seem so easy To slowly grow so cold, To lose that fire we once had known That burned within our souls? We start to lose the joy And life becomes a bore, We just live from day to day With no hope in the Lord We give up on the dreams, We once had in our hearts, We settle down to mere existence Alone within the dark Oh God our spirits yearn To know you so much more, We don't want to just exist But know you as before To feel your presence in our lives And a new song on our lips, To walk in victory every day, O Lord, we long for this Come, O God, and touch us Ignite us once again, So we will burn with holy zeal, More than we had back then Fill us with your spirit, Lord, And we shall be renewed, So joy can be restored to us With brand-new hope in you. © By M.S.Lowndes
