REBUILDING GOD'S HOUSE WITH JOY AND HOPE

REBUILDING GOD'S HOUSE WITH JOY AND HOPE


TODAY we read about
The REFORMATION of the
Jewish community
RETURNING from exile


The HOUSE of God
Needs to be REBUILT
And the neighbors
JOIN in to HELP


“ALL their neighbors
Gave them HELP in every way.........” Ezra 1:6


I live in a RETIREMENT community
And for the most part
The NEIGHBORS HELP one another


I feel like the
HOUSE OF GOD in today's world
Needs to be REBUILT
I wish we could ALL
Work together
And get that DONE


I really wish that we
COULD all LIVE TOGETHER
Like it is CHRISTMAS every day
And find and LIVE
That FEELING of LOVE
For one another


We are all in “EXILE”
From one another
For ANY number of reasons


Illness-divorce-financial struggles
Or just being PRESSED DOWN
From the CHALLENGES
Of modern day life


Let us OVERCOME this HOUSE OF EXILE-
Both within ourselves-and
With one another


Let us REBUILD the HOUSE of God
In this world=let us all
DO IT TOGETHER


“Then Zerubbabel-
Son of Shealtiel and Joshua-
Son of Jozadak
Set to WORK


To REBUILD the HOUSE of God
In Jerusalem


And the PROPHHETS of God
Were with them
SUPPORTING them” Ezra 5:2


Let us ALL work TOGETHER
-Let us all SUPPORT one another
And REBUILD the house of GOD
In today's world


And let us be HOPEFUL
And work together with JOY


“For the Lord will
REBUILD Zion
And appear in his GLORY” Psalm 102:16


“After this I will RETURN
And rebuild David's fallen tent


Its ruins I will REBUILD
And I will RESTORE” Acts 15:16


Let us REBUILD this world
And GIVE it back to God
And let him rule us
With JOY-HOPE-and LOVE


Let us NOT WAIT for Christmas
Let us put joy and hope
In our lives=EVERY DAY


What a world this would be
With neighbor HELPING neighbor
Of all FAITHS
With JOY and with HOPE


“The precepts
Of the Lord are right
GIVING JOY
To the heart


The commands of the Lord
Are radiant
Giving light
To the eyes” Psalm 19:8


Let us begin today
NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR


And by CHRISTMAS TIME=maybe
We can have a WORLD
FULL of LOVE-HOPE-and JOY


In the name of Jesus and HIS MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
