CHILD OF GOD

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 6th, 2012

 

 

CHILD OF GOD

 

 

Child you are missing

Child you are long gone

Child you are still

In my heart

Child-child you are a child of God

 

Children missing

Children gone

Children being abducted

Child-never forget

You are a child of God

 

What is happening

To our world

Preying on the littlest

Preying on the most innocent

Preying on

The children of God

 

Child you are missing

Child you are long gone

Child you are still in my heart

Child-you are a child of God

Ps        Today is the feast day of Saint Maria Goretti

            A 12-year old girl

            Who preferred death to dishonor

            

            She is a model for chastity

            And the Christian life

            She died in 1902

            And was canonized in 1950

 

            May she be with all children in spirit

            If something bad is happening to them

            In today’s world

 

“Yet to ALL who received him

To those who believed in his name

He gave the right to become CHILDREN OF GOD

 

Children born NOT of natural descent

NOR of human decision or a husband’s will

BUT BORN OF GOD”                                                           John 112-13

FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!

 

Have YOU BUILT=

Your life=on

The TEACHINGS of Jesus?

 

Have you built your life

ON GOD’S LOVE?

If so=FINISH STRONG

FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!

Have faith

 

“I am already-

Being poured out-

Like a libation

 

And the time=of my departure

IS AT HAND

 

I have competed well=

I have=finished the race

I have

KEPT THE FAITH!”                                                                                                             2 Timothy 4:6-7

 

How about you=

Are you=

FINISHING STRONG=In the Lord?

Do you have

ENOUGH FAITH=to see you

Through to the end?

BUILT TO LAST!

 

Pauls’ second letter

To Timothy=reads like

Saint Paul’s LAT WILL and testament=

The DEATH of Paul

Is imminent

 

Pauls’ time is SHORT=

And he knows it=

But it is not death=

It is a DEPARTURE

 

His WORDS about Christ

Will last AN ETERNITY

FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!

 

“My food’=said Jesus

‘Is to do the WILL=of him

Who sent me

And to FINISH=HIS WORK’”                                                                                                      John 4:34

 

“However I consider

My life worth nothing

To me

 

My only aim

Is to FINISH THE RACE=

And complete  the task

The Lord has given me--------

 

The task of

Testifying to the good news

Of God’s grace”                                                                                                                         Acts 20:24

 

I love sports=DON’T YOU?

And Paul uses eloquent words

To COMPARE=THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

To an athletic event

 

He=Paul

Is FILLED with perseverance

To finish the race

THE MARATHON=of his Christian TESTIMONY

 

NOTHING is wasted by Paul=

All is on the line

For him=to FINISH THE RACE

 

“LET PERSEVERANCE=FINISH its work

So that you may be

Mature and complete=NOT lacking anything”                                                                              James 1:4

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY

That we all know

We will FACE DEATH=one day

 

Please help us

TO FINISH STRONG=IN THE LORD!

Like the great Saint Paul=and Jesus himself

 

And die in faith=let our faith

Pull us=THROUGH THE FINISH LINE

FINISHING STRONG=IN THE LORD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS FAITHFUL=Holy Father God!

Takes time to listen

Has he come to you

Perhaps he has

And you just

Weren’t listening

 

God comes to me

And he’ll come to you too

NEVER IN DOUBT

( the story of SAINT THOMAS )

 

 

How many of us

Have seen a sporting event

A particular nitty-gritty contest

Where you had no idea

Who was going to win

 

Then after the outcome

And your team won

Thought or said,

 

“The outcome

Was never in doubt”

 

Well I am here to tell you

The story of Saint Thomas

The story of “Doubting Thomas”

 

Well I am here to tell you

That the outcome was

“NEVER IN DOUBT”

 

We forget

That when Martha and Mary

Summoned Jesus to come back

And help Lazarus

Many of the other Apostles

Didn’t want to go

 

Because they had

To go through Judea

An area

Where Jesus had just almost been stoned

 

They were afraid

 

Then Thomas spoke up and said,

“LET us also go

That we may die with him”                                                    John 14:16

 

Then we flash forward

To after Jesus’ death

To where we find Thomas saying;

 

“Unless I see

The nail marks in his hands

And put my finger

Where the nails were

And put my hands into his side

I will NOT believe it”                                                               John 20:25

 

Do you ever feel that way

I know that I do

 

Thomas is our inspiration

For those of us

Still struggling with our faith

For whatever reason

 

For we know

That Thomas

Went on to preach about Jesus

After the Resurrection

And was martyred for it

 

Saint Thomas

Is the Saint of architects

And the spiritually blind

 

For those of us like Saint Thomas

Struggling with our faith

Like our favorites sports team

Striving for victory

WE WILL TRIUMPH

 

For we know that the outcome is

 

NEVER IN DOUBT

Name=

HAPPY 250 TO OUR NATION=I HAVE CALLED YOU BY NAME

 

 

 

 

 

 

I HAVE CALLED YOU BY NAME                                                                                    

 

 

Did you know

That God knows your name

And the day you were born

He even knew

The number of hairs

You would

Have on your head

And the day

He would call you

To LIVE

In eternal union with him

For all of eternity

 

He even KNOWS

The stars by name

 

“Lift your eyes

Look to the heavens

Who created all these

He who brings out the starry host

One by one

And calls them each by name

 

Because of his great power

And mighty strength

Not one of them is missing”                                                              Isaiah 40:26

 

And if

He knows each and every one

Of the stars

Just imagine

He not only knows us by name

But he loves us

With an everlasting love

 

“The Lord

Appeared to us in the past saying:

 

“I have loved you

With an everlasting love

I have drawn you

With loving kindness”                                                                 Jeremiah 31:3

 

He even knows

The number of hairs on our head

 

“And even the very hairs

On your head

Are all numbered

So don’t be afraid

You are worth more

Than many sparrows”                                                            Matthew 10:30-31

 

And you will not perish

If you love

And have FAITH in GOD

For all of eternity

 

“But not a hair

On your head will perish

By standing firm

You will gain life”                                                                    Luke 21:18

 

So TODAY-my friend

On your birthday

KNOW that

God has called you by name

And that he LOVES YOU

With an everlasting love

 

His plans for you

ARE ALL GOOD

And not even a hair

On your head

Will perish for all of eternity

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND

I love you

CRY FREEDOM

 

 

 

 

 

 

CRY FREEDOM

 

 

JULY 4th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 4th, 2012

 

 

CRY FREEDOM

 

 

150 years ago

In a little town in Texas

At the Alamo

A group of 119 or 120 men

Were WAITING for HELP

 

A group led by Colonel William Travis

A group that included famous men

Like Davy Crockett and William Bowie

 

Men

Fighting for their independence

Men fighting for an ideal

A 100 or so men

Fighting for the beginnings

Of the statehood of Texas

 

General Sam Houston and his army

Did come---too late

For these men

But NOT too late

For the ideal---the statehood of Texas

 

2,000 years ago

There was another revolution going on

A revolution

To return to the Word of God

 

A revolution started by one man

Jesus Christ

 

A revolution

To teach us how to live

A revolution

To teach us how to forgive

A revolution

To teach us how to live lives

Of kindness and compassion

 

This revolution

Faced even longer odds

Than those few men down in Texas faced

 

One man

Backed by twelve

But in the end

One man standing alone

Unto his dying breath---committed to his ideals

 

CRY FREEDOM

 

Sam Houston’s army was too late

For those 120 men

But NOT too late

To finish the job---that those men started

 

CRY FREEDOM

 

The 12 did return ( one replaced )

As we assume---so did the 72

And millions and millions of others

 

Too late

For that one man

But NOT too late

For those ideals to be accomplished

 

My friends

This world is spiraling downwards

More and more so each day

 

It is time

For a new army

Committed to Christ’s ideals---to step forward

 

“You my brothers

Were called to be free

But do not use your freedom

To indulge the sinful nature

Rather serve one another in love

The entire law

Is summed up by a single command

Love your neighbor as yourself”                                          Galatians 5:13-14

 

God and love

Versus hatred and resentment

SPIRIT over the flesh

 

It is time for us to stand up

To stand firm---to stand tall

 

Let us be slaves to God

Let us be slaves to love

Let us live

For the benefit of each other

And those yet to come

 

Let us

Teach God’s ways---Not human ways

Let us truly live out

THE GREAT COMMISSION

 

“ALL authority in heaven

And on earth

Have been given to me

 

Therefore

Go and make disciples of all nations

Baptizing them

In the NAME of the FATHER

And of the Son

And of the HOLY SPIRIT

And teaching them

To obey everything---I have commanded you

And SURELY I am with you

               ALWAYS

TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE”                                              Matthew 28:19 &20

 

And maybe ---if we do that

Maybe one day---we can ALL

 

CRY FREEDOM!

Ps        “If you hold to my teachings

             You are really my disciples

              Then you will KNOW the truth

             And the truth will set you FREE”                                         John 8:31
