DOING THE WORK OF GOD

DOING THE WORK OF GOD
As 21st century APOSTLES of God
=Apostles of CHRIST=
We are called to keep on
DOING THE WORK OF GOD=
To SPREAD God's love=forgiveness
And kindness
To everyone we INTERACT with
Both Christian and ALL
Other denominations
We are all
In this TOGETHER=
ONE GOD OF LOVE
"I have the STRENGTH
For everything through him
Who EMPOWERS ME"                                                                                                               Philippians 4:13
As we GROW in God
We begin to understand
That we POSSESS an inner strength
That comes
From God and Christ Jesus=
Saint Paul tells us=
It is UP to us
To know this
And keep on DOING THE
WORK OF GOD
This INNER STRENGTH
That we have
ENABLES us
To OVERCOME everything
That life throws at us
And MOVE through our days
With the heart
And mind of God
To have GOD'S GRACE
BESTOWED on us=means
That we have all we NEED
To do
The WORK of God
In this modern day
21st century
"The heavens declare
The glory of GOD
The skies proclaim
The WORK of his hands"                                                                                                         Psalm 19:1
"If anyone builds
On this foundation using gold=
Silver=costly stones=wood=
Hay=or straw
The WORK will be shown
For what it is
Because the DAY
Will bring it to light
It will be REVEALED
With fire
And the fire will
TEST the quality
Of each person's WORK"                                                                                               1 Corinthians 3:12-13
"Whatever you do
WORK at it
With all your heart
As WORKING for the Lord
NOT for human masters
Since you know
That you will receive
An INHERITANCE from the Lord
As a reward
It is the LORD CHRIST
You are serving"                                                                                               Colossians 3:23-24
DOING the WORK
Of God=in this
Modern day world
We are empowered
By the SPIRIT
Every day
When we say OUR PRAYERS
And each and every day
We RECEIVE
The EUCHARIST of the LORD
Dear Lord=help us to
Be AWARE of what
Has happened in the PAST
And to know that our FUTURE
ENABLES US=to continue
DOING THE WORK OF GOD
In Jesus' name and the name
Of GOD=our almighty-LOVING FATHER
