AM BACK HOME
So sorry for the PASSING OF COUSIN BRIAN=much too young=BUT
SO VERY APPRECIATIVE
AND THANKFUL
For the FAMILY and friends that I HAVE=LOVE YOU ALL
( This poem was written=before my TRIP NORTH)
NEVER TOO LATE!
(For a JOURNEY with God)
Today we read about=God
CALLING Abraham=0ut=when he
Is 75 years old=and asking him
To GO to a new land
I just want to say=we are
NEVER TOO OLD!=to do=or
At least try to do=what God has
CALLED us to do
We are=NEVER to old=it is
NEVER TO LATE!=to go
On a journey with God
“The Lord said to Abraham’=
‘Go forth=from the land=of your kinsfolk
And from your father’s house=to a land
That I will show you’
……..Abraham=was 75 YEARS OLD
When he left
Haran” Genesis
12: 1, 4
Sometimes=OUR BODIES
Don’t want to cooperate=with what
Our HEARTS want to do
But we can STILL COOPERATE=with God
The very BEST=that we can
MY MOM=was 68 years old
When her and I left Pittsburgh=
With me=after my dad died
And we SPENT=7and ½ good years together
In South Florida=before she died
And we got CLOSE=to my sister Terri
All over again
It is=NEVER TOO LATE!=we are
Never too old=to go on A JOURNEY
With the Lord=when it is
FOR our own good=and he CALLS our hearts
FOLLOWING GOD AND JESUS=
Wherever they may lead
“DO NOT FOLLOW=the crowd
In doing wrong=when you give
Testimony=in a lawsuit=do not=pervert justice
By siding with the crowd”
Exodus 23:2
“Surely your goodness and love=
WILL FOLLOW ME=all
The days of my life” Psalm
23:6
“When he has brought out=all his own
He goes on=ahead of them
And his sheep=FOLLOW HIM
Because they know his voice”
John
10:4
We MAY=not be ready
For a NEW physical journey
But we are=NEVER TOO LATE
For a new INTERIOR JOURNEY
With our Lord=we never KNOW
When the Lord=may CALL on us
To MOVE in a new direction
But if he calls on us
He will help us=TO FOLLOW HIM
The Lord=wherever he wants us to God
PHYSICALLY OR SPIRITURALLY=just like Abraham
The FATHER of many nations
“THEY FOLLOW THE LAMB=
Wherever he goes=they were purchased
From among mankind=and offered as
First fruits=to God and the Lamb” Revelation
14:4
Remain READY=for the Spirit of God
He may have=A NEW JOURNEY=in mind
For you=It is=NEVER TOO LATE!
No matter how old=that you are
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER
CALLING=forever LOVING=Holy Father God!
