HE IS RISEN !

HE IS RISEN !

Shall we deny him our feet to climb those stairs; shall we keep back those hands that he would use; and shall we seal the lips by which he would speak the tender message to the dying soul?

Nay, rather, shall we not say:

"Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.

"Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King."

And by every movement of our bodies say to men as we pass on our pilgrim way: "I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me." So live that our lives shall be a demonstration that "Christ in us, the hope of glory," is the Indwelling Presence that guides us in that way.

GLORY POEM # 14

Fantasy Angel Pictures, Images and Photos


 
Your Will Has Been Accomplished


 All's been heard, all's been said,
It shouts off the page
with all your sacred words repeatedly read.

The end is near,
there is nothing more clear.

We have been pawns on  a chess board
being moved all in accord.

All this time, just a game,
though we were not in control
we were "tested" just the same.

Now we live with the consequences
of our do's and our don'ts,
turning our attention now to our master;
making again promises of our future "won'ts".

Our list, it grows long
of all that's gone wrong,
though the bottom line reads so simple
to the blind man or the fool,
what you purpose must come to be
your will has now been accomplished,
but for only those who seek will come to see.
