"The Proverbs of Wisdom"

Wisdom is the knowledge that must be understood

It cannot be hidden for too long or ignored.

A troubled people shall have much need of it;

Wisdom speaks through solidarity and struggle

It must be pursued daily from the mind's hidden core.

Wisdom speaks from the mouth of the “Ancient of Days”

Its words shall be made manifest to teach about life.

Arrogance and pride is devoured by its message of love;

It must change the hearts of downtrodden souls

That cries out in pain from the affliction of remorse.

Wisdom is the interpretation of inner thoughts;

It cannot be held back from a heart that speaks.

For with it a society shall yearn to be often unveiled;

Wisdom speaks through the spirit of birth and rebirth

It must be ignited by the flames of life that we seek.

Wisdom echoes down through the years in time;

With a message from the wings of an eagle that soars.

It cannot be silenced or hidden away deep in a box;

Wisdom is humanity's purpose that cannot be stopped

It’s foretold through the centuries with a destiny that roars.

Wisdom comes alive with obedience to the Father's command;

It cannot be rejected or denied as empty words unheard.

From a people that rebels against the truth when revealed;

Wisdom is the innocence of a child that's sent to be born

Its compassion and love spread abundant joy undisturbed.

“Embrace the wisdom of life and live for eternity.”

“For I Will Know Him”

I will rise above ridicule and false accusations from lips that despise me for righteousness sake,
For I will know Him—
I will lift up my voice like as a trumpet to praise my God and give Him the glory before it is too late;
For I will know Him—
I will cherish each moment of the precious gift of life that was given to allow us to live each day
For I will know Him—
I will look to Him during troubled times of heartache’s pain—and humbly kneel down to Him and pray;
For I will know Him—
I will speak an encouraging word from Abba Father of His message of “love, joy, peace and hope”
For I will know Him—
I will always seek for His grace and mercy; and speak His words of life so that death can be revoked;
For I will know Him—
I will look to the hills where my help comes from and into the arms of my Beloved Savior shall I run,
For I will know Him—
I will hear His voice and know when He speaks with those piercing eyes set ablaze as fiery as the sun
For I will know Him—

“COME LORD”

Come Lord we need your presence each day in all that we do,

Come Lord and take us up that we may be forever with you;

Come Lord and give us grace therefore to supply all our needs,

Come Lord lead our steps that we can walk upright and succeed;

Come Lord and pour out of your Spirit upon our miserable flesh,

Come Lord and heal the brokenness of our troubled soul unrest;

Come Lord and give us peace and embrace us again within your care,

Come Lord and show us again of hidden mysteries from angels unaware;

Come Lord with your agape love and fill our hearts anew and restore,

Come Lord and increase our faith that we may serve you even the more;

Come Lord let us enter into your rest after our earthly journey has ceased,

Come Lord and be glorified for immortality has been fulfilled and is released;

Even so “Come Lord,” JESUS… #
