My joy comes from the Lord, you can't take it away!
My hope is in the Lord, I'm never hopeless!
My eyes are on the Lord, I will not look at the boisterous waves! 
My ears are tune into the Lord; I don't hear your gossip or your lies!
My mind is on the Lord, Not you!
My love is unconditional; it’s not sold to the highest bidder!



Be still and know that I am God

Be still and know that I am God
A God that can deliver
And give you Joy like a river

Be still and know that I am God
With conviction, he will let you know
Right from wrong
And in your heart God will
Give you a new song

Be still and know that I am God
With my voice, I will Praise God in advance
I know that he will give me a second chance

Be still and know that I am God
In Psalms 23, the Bible says, The Lord is my Shepard
With God I have a track record

Be still and know that I am God
The Bible says to rebuke the devil and he will flee
Pray that God will give you
Discernment to see

Be still and know that I am God
The Lord gave you the Power
To cast the devil out
Lift up your hands, and Praise
The Lord with a shout

Be still and know that I am God

I no longer gossip.

I speak of the gospel.

I no longer lie and cheat,

I speak the truth and turn the other cheek.

I no longer prey on the weak;
I now pray for the weak

I no longer party with the world.

I party with Jesus Christ the one that saved the world.

I no longer seek to destroy,

I seek to spread joy.

MY Love 

MY LOVE, WHOM I LOVE DEARLY
I MUST TELL YOU WHAT GOD HAS
LAYED UPON MY HEART
I SEE YOU HURTING,
I SEE YOU GETTING WEAKER BY THE DAY, THE HOUR
I SEE YOUR WEAKNESS
I SEE YOUR BATTLE
I SEE YOUR SHAME
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
I KNOW YOUR HEART ACHES AND THAT IT KEEPS YOU AWAKE
I FEEL THE WETNESS OF YOUR TEAR DROPS
THAT FALL FROM YOUR CHEEKS, WHEN YOU POUR YOUR HEART
UNTO MAN
MY LOVE, WHOM I LOVE DEARLY
I MUST TELL YOU THAT I KNOW A MAN
THAT WILL TAKE THE HURT AWAY
THAT WILL TURN NIGHT INTO DAY
THAT WILL TURN YOUR WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH
THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGHT TO OVER COME
MANY BATTLES
THAT WILL REMOVE THE SHAME
THAT WILL REMOVE THE PAIN
THAT WILL DRY YOUR TEARS BEFORE THEY FALL
BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THIS MY LOVE, YOU MUST
BE LIKE PETER AND STEP OUT OF THE BOAT OR
LIKE NOAH AND BUILD THE ARK OR
LIKE DEBORAH THAT LEAD AN ARMY OR LIKE MARY THAT WEPT
AT JESUS FEET
MY LOVE YOU MUST TRUST
MY LOVE YOU MUST HAVE FAITH
YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR
FORSAKE YOU
MY LOVE I KNOW IT’S HARD TO CROSS OVER BUT I CAN TRULY
TESTIFY THAT IF YOU PUT GOD FIRST AND MAN SECOND,
THE PAIN, THE SHAME, THE TEARS, THE FEARS
GETS LIGHTER, AND LIGHTER, AND LIGHTER AND BEFORE YOU
KNOW IT YOU HAVE PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE
REMEMBER LIFE IS A TEST, IT’S ABOUT TRUSTING IN GOD,
IN ITS TEMPORARY

My Desire

Contributed by Gospel Comedian, MizT

Written on December 25, 2009.

            Father, Help me to not get ahead of you and keep my carnal desires in check.  I thank you for being a keeper and keeping me from making a fool of myself behind a man. Forgive me for letting my desire for a mate take my focus off of you at times. I don't know what kind of test I am in but you have the power for me to pass it. I'm determined to hang in there so that you will be glorified. Thank you for holding me and not letting me be a promiscuous woman looking for something that only you can give me. I would not know what it is like to have Peace, Joy, Contentment and Fulfillment in my life if I were not following you. Thank you for the way you kissed me with sunshine today and your fresh breath blowing across my skin. Please forgive me for the times I doubted your love for me. Father help my unbelief. I have to remind myself to feed the spirit, feed the spirit and ignore the flesh, ignore the flesh.

            Thank you for the Christian women and friendships that will be added to my life this year. Thank you for a heart like yours full of compassion for my fellowman.  God you are something else. You let me vent, cry, have a pity party, and then turn around and laugh at myself. How do you do it? God you are so funny! Have I expected too much of you? I want you to bring me a companion that I won't have to stress out about, yet I'm afraid to open myself up to someone and not be accepted for who I am. I don't have much experience here because I haven't been in a relationship for the past 10 years. You haven't let me have any practice on the dating scene Lord. Maybe that's a good thing!  Every time I meet a man, I ask you Lord to show me what is not right with him. I've asked you to remove him from my life if he is not the one you sent. Within a short time frame, you answered those prayers and revealed what he was really about and he was gone. I remember in 1997 I met a man online who didn't reveal that he was a preacher and married , but YOU did. Shut yo' mouth. Once, you answered that prayer in two days! Hold my mule. I can shout now because you have a flawless track record. It didn't feel good at the time because I felt like you had abandoned me. But I realize now that you were protecting me emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually from being led away from you. I can only be a good steward as you enable me and if I chose to obey you. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I do chose to obey you, no matter what the circumstances look like. I chose to trust and obey you no matter how strong my desires are felt. Father I want the best you have for me. You only have the best to give. I will wait for the best man you have fashioned for me to complement.

            I'm just striving to live a life that you will be pleased with Father. What an awesome wonder you are, special, powerful, faithful, loving, forgiving and long-suffering. Father show me how I can love you more. I can't repay you for everything you've done, but I want you to know that I'm very grateful for your love and care of me.

 A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN  

 I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.   You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night.  

  You are so un-thankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.  

  Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet.  As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate GOD.  HE kicked me out of Heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay HIM back.  

  You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you.  But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt GOD.  

  Thanks to you, I'm really showing HIM who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had.  We have been... watching dirty movies, cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes.  

  SURELY you don't want to give all this up.  Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.  I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.  

  You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick.  Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood.  So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.    

  All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible.  Do all of

this in the presence of children and they will do it too.  Kids are like that.  

  Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds

to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your

sins, and live for GOD with what little bit of life that you have left.  

  It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's

becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.

  IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.

  P.S. If you love me, you won't share this

Comments: : Who Am I?

Bewildered and alone
I stand on the cliff of confusion
Feeling so far from home
All I hold seems an illusion.

I am the one for whom You sacrificed
A vessel for your glorious love
Your holy Son came to give me life
My being is defined by the King above.

Lost in a valley of shadows
I cannot find my way
I can’t see through the windows
It is for direction I pray.

Yes, I may have wandered.
Yes, I may have strayed.
But when by Your hand I am guided
How well You know the way!

Truly by my own strength “I can’t”
Praise God I do not rely on that
Let me rest silent in Your palm
Let me follow Your faultless plan.

Thank You God – For Love

God how many mistakes we make
When we do not trust in love
Turning from those sent for Your sake
We miss the blessings from above.

Filled with pride we hit the road on our own
And get lost in the wilderness of life
Forgetting we need not travel alone
We stubbornly own our strife.

We find it so hard to believe
That a warm and beating heart
Can see what You see –
That we do not have to fall apart.

This is one of your greatest gifts
That someone who shares my road
Can see me with Your eyes
And happily share my load.

The world distorts and deranges
But love is a constant mirror
Of Your love that never changes
For the lost and the sinner.

So forgive me for the times I missed
Your sweet love in another
Help me to learn to trust
And see Your grace in another.

He Moves Heaven and Earth for Us

In the dread doom of the final hour
When we stand forlorn and forsaken
He tears the curtain by His power
His glorious love is out-shaken.

When trembling and on our knees
We touch the folds of His cloak
Our tears never go unseen
His tender mercy is shown.

When by the machinations of mankind
We are paralyzed and manacled
The power of His angels shine
And we escape unshackled.

When great waters rise before us
And death is not far behind,
His Holy Spirit clears our floors
We walk a passage miracle-lined.

When a desert rage is great
With no nourishment in sight
The Holy Spirit fills our plate
Again we are led by His light.

Open Doors

There is an open door out there
That we can approach without fear
It’s been letting the light in
We can enter through Him

I know the path is steep and cold
Dreams have dimmed that made us bold
The world’s larder seems sparse and bare
And we wander it burdened with care.

But God who made the storm clouds roll
And the petals on the rose unfold
Stands beside an open door
Patiently waiting for our call.

He has enough and much to spare
If we will only meet Him there
In prayer upon a bended knee
We can become what we need to be.

It is our hearts which must open wide
To reach the door and step inside
No one knows where that path will lead
But we will be where we need to be.



Pollution

I’m sorry I littered your world today
That I did not recycle as I should
In the container clearly marked “God’s Way.”
I know I said that I would.

Lies do not decompose on their own
Oh how they need God’s grace!
Unkindness forms hideous thrones
Obscuring our view of His holy face.

In a world littered and grimed
God’s great love has been exiled
What will happen over time
When sin on sin is over-piled?

Perhaps good men should not be silent
But this is a spiritual war
When I feel driven to violence
Help me to remember Your call.

For never by my own power
Could I clean up this mess
I think you wait for the hour
When to that I do confess.

And while I wait for Your Spirit
I’ll clean my own mess away
For Yours is the cure and the judgement
Lord help me remember today.
