Then Jesus said "Don't worry and don't be
afraid (that means surrendered to your fear).
For you've believed in God, and he’s truly
right worth believing in. Now see you hear -
if God can send your long awaited Christ -
anointed Leader Of Humanity,
now you must trust, believe me we are spliced
together, he’s the best leader - you see!
Be truly glad! There’s joy quite wonderful
Be truly glad! There’s joy quite wonderful
ahead {as well as “crosswork" to be done,
with trials for a while, quite plentiful
to prove your faith is true, not a fake one.
It’s like using a diamond to scratch glass,
it shows the diamond to be what it is
(or biting on a gold coin to check “class”)
but this goes one step further - refiner's
hot fi-ah melts the gold until it runs,
it loses all its shape, its form is gone,
but what is left is like the “blood of suns”,
& faithfulness leaves gold for dead anon.
But this will only happen when you stay
within the hands of he who seeks the pearl,
some blob of white-hot molten shiny faith
around which he would like to build new worlds}.
So let your faith remain through all these trials,
and let them burn what's weak and fake and “hell",
for it will bring much praise, and his bright smiles,
when Jesus is enthroned, and all is well.
Jesus said "Don't worry or surrender to your fear. For you've believed in God, now trust and believe in me also John 14:1 (PM Version)
Be truly glad!!! There is wonderful joy ahead. Even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials prove that your faith is genuine, being refined by fire, your faith is more precious than gold. So when your faith remains strong through these trials, it will bring you much praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. 1 Peter 1:6-7 (PM Version)

ReplyDeleteHearing that to worry, and to fret,
ReplyDeleteIsn't something that will ever help,
Helps me to sit down and then reset,
And take another book down from the 'shelpe'.
Learning in a new exciting way,
Still asking what is number one to know.
What knowledge could I learn to use today?
That will stick with me tomorrow as I go?
