The Gate





The Gate

Is there really anything that could ever stop Gods love 

The Lord may chasten me 
Yet never give me over 

 Pressure comes from every side 
Like swarming bees ready to sting

If I was King and the nations 
Raged to overtake me

I would call on the name of the Lord
And He would come 

He is my strength
He's my song 
He is everything to me

His right hand alone 
Is so very strong 

With His strength He defends me
With His love He encircles me

There are giants in the land
I am facing them right now

But His hand is proven
His hand is steady

He will shoot the arrow from the bow
The bronze bow He has placed in my hand

 My enemies will see that God is with me
And they will drop at my side

When I speak His name He overthrows them all 
And utterly destroys them

He is my strength 
My song 
And my salvation

I shall not die
But live
To declare His works

It's repentance that leads me to the gates of righteousness
He stands there waiting to swing wide the gates, and calls 

COME...

COME TO ME...


Note: This gate is the gate of the Lord and only the righteous can enter. We are only let through and considered righteous if we are His. If you are not sure you are His you can be!

Romans 10:9-10
"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


Inspired by the 118th Psalm

A Threatening Storm

Image
  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when w...

Light in the Darkness

Image
I grew up thinking holiness was reserved for priests and nuns. I see the danger of this thinking is that we conform more and more to the world because holiness is unattainable; or not even considered as a goal to be desired or even thought about. However the opposite is true in God's word. "..Be holy, for I am holy" First Peter 1:16. So I have to conclude it is possible. How do we become holy? Let's read what Peter had to say... beginning in   1Peter 1:13-16  "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope freely upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lust, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy for I am holy."  I see the world getting darker and darker and yet the contrast between light (holiness) and darkness (the...

The Miracle and Gift

Image
  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of...
