ONLY OUR FAITH CAN PROTECT US
I used to LOVE
The leaves up NORTH=
The crisp air=the blue sky
And all the colored leaves=
But you had to rake them
After they had fallen
OUR LIVES can be a lot
Like the fall leaves=
In the good times=we just go
Through the motions
WITH OUR FAITH
But when a WINDSTORM of
Illness-death-job loss-
Or other crises comes=
Then we FIND OUR FAITH
Once again
“Whoever is not with me=
Is against me=and whoever
Does not GATHER with me=SCATTERS” Luke 11:23
Only our FATHER
Can PROTECT US=
In good times and bad
It won't totally SHIELD US
From loss=sorrow=
And life's happenings=
But it does mean-
We won't scatter far
From the LORD UP ABOVE
The Lord our God really
And truly DOES PROTECT US
“You are my hiding place-
Who will PROTECT ME
From trouble
And surround me
With songs of deliverance” Psalm 32:7
“Discretion will PROTECT YOU
And understanding
Will guard you” Proverbs 32:11
“I will remain
In the world
No longer
But they are
Still in the world
And I am coming to you
Holy Father PROTECT THEM
By the power
Of your name=
The name you gave me
So that they may be one
As we are one” John 17:11
Like the autumn leaves-
LIFE SOMETIMES
Seems to come at us
From all directions
And when that happens=
ALL that can protect us
Is GOD AND LOVE=
All that can protect us
Is Jesus
All that can PROTECT US
IS OUR FAITH
“IT ALWAYS PROTECTS=
Always trusts-
Always hopes-
Always perseveres=
LOVE NEVER FAILS” 1 Corinthians 13:7-8
Let God THE FATHER-
PROTECT YOU=
Let Jesus protect you
Let your FAITH IN THEM
PROTECT YOU
It is THE ONLY THING
That Can
In the name of Jesus and OUR ALWAYS PROTECTING FATHER!
