HELD TOGETHER=BY JESUS OUR LORD

 

HELD TOGETHER BY JESUS OUR LORD

I have been READING the BIBLE-

EVERY DAY for years=I have

Two bibles completely FALLING APART=

I am currently working

On a third

But I REMEBER the days

WHEN not only my bible

Was falling apart=but SO WAS I

Jesus has NOT only kept my

BIBLES together-from falling completely apart=

BUT ALSO ME

“THROUGH Jesus the WHOLE structure

Ia HELD TOGETHER-

And grows into a temple=

SACRED in the LORD”                                                                                                  Ephesians 2:21

There is an OLD PROVERB that says=

“A bible that is FALLING APART=

Usually belongs to-

SOMEONE who isn't”

I think I am HOLDING together- 

Pretty well now=THANKS to Jesus

OUR LORD

HELD TOGETHER 

BY JESUS OUR LORD!

“As long as MOSES-

HELD UP his hands

The Israelites were winning=

But whenever=

He LOWERED his hands

The Amalekites were winning”                                                                                      Exodus 17:11

“ALL day long

I have HELD OUT my hands

To an obstinate people

Who walk in ways NOT good

PURSUING their own imaginations

--------------”                                                                                                                 Isaiah 65:2

“But CONCERNING Israel-he says=

'All day LONG-I have

HELD OUT my hands

To a disobedient and OBSTINATE PEOPLE”                                                                 Romans 10:21

Yes=it is TRUE=it is JESUS=

Our Lord=that HOLDS us together 

I DON'T CLAIM= to have my

Whole life together=but I would be

A lot WORSE OFF if I

Didn't read my bible=SAY my ROSARY=

And write my poems

All of that=helps me

STAY CLOSE to God

Saint Paul COMPARES Jesus to the capstone=

To the CORNERSTONE-

Of a building=that PIECE

That HOLDS it all together 

“The STONE

The builders rejected

Has BECOME the cornerstone”                                                                                       Psalm 118:22

“Jesus said to them=

'Have you

NEVER read in the SCRIPTURES=

'The stone the BUILDERS rejected

Has become the CORNERSTONE

The Lord has done this-

And it is MARVELOUS

In our eyes'”                                                                                                                  Matthew 21:42

YES sir friends=the LORD

HOLDS us all together 

So WHEN we are

FEELING BATTERED=when our lives

Are in PIECES

Let us PICK UP our bibles

And PRAY to the Lord=

“HOLD US TOGETHER=we hand  the

PIECES of our LIVES to you”

In the name of the LORD=Jesus=our LORD=

And his most HEAVENLY FATHER
