He’s Just THAT Kind Of God
By: Maxine M.

You’ve heard His name spoken when speech turns crude & profane
Curses uttered in a conversation as though EMPHASIS they’d gain
Irreverent jokes can also foolishly take His name in vain

Perhaps one day you said a hasty prayer but it never came to fruition
Not realizing HIS will was far better in this circumstance with its unseen condition
So you became indifferent, viewing everything about Him with suspicion

But just how much do YOU KNOW about the God you’ve heard of since you were a child?
What is YOUR comprehension of a Sovereign Supreme being…Creater of the entire universe compiled?
Is there insight & perception into His Holy Righteous nature…pure & undefiled?

OR do you see Him as just a “big busy” God with no interest in the small details?
But, remember He gave EXPLICIT instructions about Noah’s Ark…down to the very nails
He created wit & humor, as HIS gift, when unrestrained ignorance in life prevails

He’s Just THAT Kind of God

Human minds can be overwhelmed by One who possesses absolute MIGHT
He declared to Abraham “I am Almighty God!!” “Walk before Me in the way that’s right”
“Trust in Me” “I’ll lift all your burdens” “All your enemies, I’ll help you fight”

He’s a God of peace…inner-peace & confidence, when your life says “just give up” instead
His Everlasting Arms are a certain refuge when others have deserted & fled
But one day, God the Son will be the “Just Judge” of all the living and dead

A God who LISTENS, eager to have His children call on Him in prayer
As El-Rohi (the One who sees me), of all our thoughts, actions & motives, He’s fully aware
He’s a PERSONAL God, desiring a one on one relationship…a truly intimate affair

Ever watch a love story…the kind that brings tears to your eyes?
Remember the cherished feeling on your wedding day or the joy of your child’s 1st cries?
These emotions are possible because GOD IS LOVE!! Of complete “self-less” love, His nature is comprised

He’s Just THAT Kind of God

An inviting God…who INVITES us to OPEN our heart’s hidden secret place
A generous God…giving everyone talent, skills & abilities that adorn our lives like elegant lace
A forgiving God…accepting our repentance, removing our sins without a trace

Have you broken a promise…one that in your heart you truly MEANT to keep?
Determined resolutions, good intentions that fell by the wayside when “cares” got too deep
But God is the Ultimate Promise Keeper…a Help to the helpless when the way gets steep

Don’t we fall short in steadfastness & fidelity to our Saviour when HE is FAITHFUL EVERY day?
Even when our OLD nature creeps back in…in what we do & say
He remains the LOYAL Good Shepherd, watching over us as sheep that are PRONE to stray

Do we realize that in the “fullness of time” there will be a terrible judgment on a lost human race?
But at the same time, do we understand that He’s a God of Compassion, Mercy & Grace?
How He WAITS for us to CHOOSE Him, allowing “free-will”…letting us have our space

He’s Just THAT Kind of God

Now, it’s true He fashioned us ALL in the womb & with the Breath of Life He’d adorn
But, it’s ONLY by ACCEPTING His offer of Salvation that into His FAMILY we’re born
Thus becoming His CHILD, a permanent irrevocable bond…by His sacred oath sworn

He’s a REVEALING God…giving profound enlightenment and indication of what the future will hold
Consider how He’s ABLE to do INCREDIBLE MIRACLES, just as He did in days of old
We’re privileged to call Him Master, Lord, Teacher…encouraging us to overcome & receive a crown of gold

He tells us to BE READY, “I’m coming for you” maybe yet today
When you least expect Me, in the twinkling on an eye, MY OWN will be raptured away
Leaving behind those who have never repented or ever bothered to pray

These are just a FEW of the faces of God we can comprehend to a small degree
But there is SO MUCH MORE that remains a complete mystery
Characteristics & attributes He’ll make perfectly CLEAR as we live with Him in eternity

He’s Just THAT Kind of God

Mother's Day by: Maxine M. (this is cute) Our first parents lived in a paradise of ease Their original days were without toil, doing as they pleased Enjoying God's garden of bountiful, fruitful trees There was nothing to fear, as all the animals were tame As they came one by one for Adam to name The perfect marriage, there was no one else to blame The ideal life, but one thing they both never knew Was the loving touch of a Mother, as not from childhood they grew Of that special bond from child to Mother, they had no clue A Mother hadn't warned, "Don't talk to that snake" "He's not what he seems, he's a phony and a fake" "If you listen to him, it will bring sorrow and heartache" So Eve raised her children without Mother's advice Labor pains and discomfort were disobedience's price A Mother certainly would have made her think twice When the question "why do it this way?" came around She couldn't reply, "It...
WHAT DID JESUS SEE? by Maxine M. The world saw Peter as an unlearned fisherman, nothing special at all Simply mending his nets, hoping today would yield a big haul BUT what did Jesus see? He saw the one whom He'd call "The Rock" The one to found His Church, the leader of His flock The world saw Levi as a dreaded tax collector Lowest of the low, a traitor, considered a Roman defector BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Matthew with a loyal heart, faithful and true Knew he would be useful in the ministry he was to do The world saw the Pharisees as superior, righteous, ceremoniously clean Loving to stand in public, praying just to be seen BUT what did Jesus see? He saw them as hypocrites, fools, blind guides Saw them as well-polished tombs, but inside rottenness hides The world saw Saul as an enthusiastic, young Pharisee filled with zeal Persecuting new Christians, their newly found joy to steal BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Paul, a specially chosen vessel, a sinne...
Childlike Faith By: Maxine M. A short time ago, a long-time politician was laid to rest The last of the patriotic brothers…in America, their lives they’d invest People lined the streets expressing grief, paying tribute & honor with considerable zest A crowd gathered on the Capital’s steps engrossed in this somber affair But did you notice the small children quietly playing without a care? Just having fun, making faces at each other while parents were unaware Wiggling & anxious to be on with life…shed those “good” clothes that must stay clean Unconcerned what “Teddy’s” passing would bring to the political scene Confident & trusting their parents would keep life safe & serene For children are children in spite of color, nationality or religious creed Where prejudice hasn’t been formed, childlike acceptance will intercede They’re refreshingly innocent…not yet carrying our burden of ‘will I succeed’ T...
