FULFILLING THE LORD'S DESIRES

FULFILLING THE LORD'S DESIRES


IMAGINE this:


You are ENGAGED
To be married=
But you find out
Your girlfriend is pregnant


You want to BREAK UP=
But an ANGEL tells you
Mary was CONCEIVED
By the HOLY SPIRIT!


You FOLLOW God's plans=
And FULFILL the Lord's desires


“When Joseph awoke, he did
As the ANGEL of the Lord
Had COMMANDED him


And took his wife
Into his HOME” Matthew 1:24


And the rest
As they say is HISTORY


When we FOLLOW
God's plans=we are tested=
We are CHALLENGED


But it is REWARDING to FIND
Our way=it is rewarding
To follow
The PLANS OF GOD


To FOLLOW his desires


“Take delight
In the Lord


And we will give you
The DESIRES of your heart” Psalm 37:4


“What a person DESIRES
Is unfailing love


Better to be poor
Than a liar” Proverbs 19:22


And that is
What Joseph had for Mary
UNFAILING LOVE


And that is what God
Had for Jesus-Mary-and Joseph
Was=unfailing love


Though they
Were severely tested


And he=God has for
Us too=is UNFAILING LOVE
If we just continue
To have the FAITH
That things will turn out
ALL RIGHT


But wouldn't it be EASIER
To have that FAITH
If we had an ANGEL
Or messenger
Appear to us too


Continue to BELIEVE=
God will FULFILL his
DESIRES through you


“For it is
With your heart
That you BELIEVE
And be justified


And it is with your mouth
That you profess your FAITH
And be saved” Romans 10:10


“And this is his command=
To BELIEVE
In the name of his SON=
Jesus Christ


And to LOVE one another
As he commanded us” 1 John 3:23


We may NOT have an ANGEL
Like Joseph


But we have SCRIPTURE=
We have Sacred Tradition=
And we have the saints=
And EVERY day angels=as well
As our faith


God=Jesus=will indeed
FULFILL HIS DESIRES through us


In the names of Jesus and=our ALL LOVING FATHER=
Whose love is UNFAILING and EVERLASTING
