The Waiting Jesus
By: Maxine M.

Nearly everyone has considered Jesus as a baby, the Holy Christ Child
The obedient Son with a quiet gentle Spirit…meek and mild
The full power of God, UNDER CONTROL in a human body compiled

And the bible reveals Jesus as teacher, healer, brother and friend
In the form of a servant, the Creator of the Universe had broken lives & bodies to mend
He washed His disciple’s feet saying ‘from now on let THIS be YOUR trend’

He’s represented as the compassionate Shepherd holding a little lamb on His arm
The benefactor of children and all their youthful qualities that charm
Predicting WOE to anyone who would dare to harm

We’ve seen Him become agitated & aggressive, but in RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
Seen weeping over Jerusalem and rejoicing with Mary & Martha in their elation
At times He was the weary Jesus needing solitude, He also knew hunger’s gnawing sensation

We’ve seen a praying Jesus, a stern warning Jesus, Jesus declaring to be God’s Beloved Son
Sighing over follower’s lack of understanding…always wanting a sign to be done
The inviting Jesus…ALL invited, come follow Me, exclusions none

At Easter we saw Him as the loving, forgiving, suffering Savior
Bearing ALL the guilt & shame of OUR rotten sinful behavior
Then as RISEN Lord, no longer bound by time, space or closed door

So all these faces of Jesus were seen as His earthly mission He’d fulfill
But have you considered “the Waiting Jesus” sitting at His Father’s side UNTIL?
WAITING until EVERTHING is in place…according to the FATHER’S will

Waiting until ALL who WILL accept, HAVE…all the souls He can accrue
Waiting to drink the “Fruit of the Vine” once again with His faithful few
Waiting to be joined to His Bride, the church…our souls made new

Waiting to claim HIS rightful place as reigning King Supreme
Waiting to unleash His majestic power over His enemy…TOTAL victory gleam
Waiting to JUDGE those not in the “Book of Life” or part of His Heavenly Regime

So, are you tired of waiting? Waiting for His Glorious Appearing one day
Tired of the world’s vicious, perplexing, seemingly endless fray
Are you restless, puzzled about what YOU see as a needless delay?

Well, don’t grow weary in WAITING because Jesus is patiently waiting too
And the reality is He’s been waiting a LOT longer than you!
Waiting to receive all the worship, GLORY, praise, honor that HE is DUE!

WAR!! By: Maxine M WE are at WAR!! Not just the one we see on television every night This is a SUBTLE war, so subtle perhaps we don't even realize we're in a fight Or who the enemy is, but BEWARE!, this enemy has weapons of powerful might The weapons of this enemy we face, have been around since time began This daily war is the war of that "Serpent of Old" verses man When Eve first saw him, she should have turned around and ran For she wasn't an equal match for this enemy's 'half-truths' and outright lies Gleefully, he thought he had won when he heard her labor's cry Thinking, NOW, against the rule of their Creator, all her offspring will defy But he's only won a battle, the full blown war was only about to start And it still rages today...the war for man's soul, mind and heart The stakes are HIGH, don't underestimate him, for he is cunning, wiley and smart Most "soldiers" just do what they have to do, b...

The Last Ride by: Maxine M (in dedication to a fellow Christian who lost his life) What a lovely day!! Riding in the fresh spring air, what a thrill A "bike" gives such freedom, lets you go wherever you will But, unknowingly, death waited at the top of the hill A careless moment & a poor decision...quickly a life can be lost Someone else's mistake, but the innocent paid the ultimate cost There was no going back, a line forever crossed Life ceased in an instant, leaving a young family and friends behind In that moment, the word "tragedy" was clearly defined Life's priorities for the survivors were dramatically realigned Two lives...one's soul now vanished and gone, the other now saddled with guilt One's dreams destroyed, the future he hoped could be built The threads of life unraveled!!, into pieces enough to make a patchwork quilt The other's life too, forever changed even if he doesn't realize it yet This scene will play over and over in...

Hope vs. Certainty by: Maxine M Hope: Webster defines as the feeling of what we want will happen, our desire we'll see Also as the person or thing from which this expectation will come to be Now each person's hope varies to an individual degree Certainty: fixed, settled, sure, positive....that which we can not doubt Thy Word, oh Lord, forever settled in Heaven!!, a certainty we can shout North is always north, truth is always true...not matter what else comes about Mary and Martha HOPED Jesus would come, so brother Lazarus wouldn't have to die Disappointed & let down...tears of sorrow they would cry But the CERTAINTY was, Jesus IS the Lord of Life, death's victory He could deny The disciples HOPED the Messiah would free them from Roman domination, in their day That Israel would be exaulted...all enemies made to pay The CERTAINTY was, He came to free us from sin, Salvation had just come their way David clung to HOPE, that God would relent...his child He would spare...
