Gods Greatness And Compassion

Supper With Jesus

Jesus said He stands at the door and knocks
And He will come in and sup with whoever hears his voice (Revelation 3:20)
If He was still in physical form among us
I would love to sit down and have supper with Jesus
I would bring out my best china, linens and flatware
Buy the freshest vegetables and meats to prepare
Invite my closest to partake and share

What a privilege it is to have a personal relationship with Jesus
With Him there are no boundaries on what I can discuss
Nothing gets repeated, so Him I trust
I don’t have to ashamed to say anything because He lifts me up
In fact, the meal conversation would center around what He’s done
The blessings He’s bestowed, the miracles He’s performed
It would be a thank You for the care and love He’s shown

But I know I don’t need a meal to converse with the Lord
He’s always available through prayer
And the Holy Spirit is any and every where
It just would be nice to see Him face to face
But I’ll wait until I get up there.

Comfort After Death

My first morning glance at the internet website gave me some shockingly sad news
One of my favorite TV host of one of my favorite shows had died
This was so unexpected to the world as he wasn’t sick or old
What an emptiness I felt even though him I didn’t personally know
To his tv show I’d look forward, now my tv night will have a big void

But that’s what death does— leaves a big void
Especially if the relationship was close
You wonder how you can carry on
Jesus said blessed are those who mourn (Matthew 5:4)
As God has amazing ways to provide comfort

Sometimes he brings new relationships to your life
Other times you grow closer to the ones left behind
Then the pain of void just dulls over time

No one can figure out death, why it is such a thing
How come people you love can’t just go on existing?
It’s just not God’s design for anything to keep on living
But it is in His his design to provide comforting
And I can attest that He will provide comfort after death.

180 Degrees

Last night in bed I was literally praying out loud
Seems like this problem would never itself work out
I know to keep faith and not doubt
But this lingering problem was wearing me down

This afternoon life did 180 degrees turn around
A phone call came in and that person would really help out
I know my problem is not permanently fixed
But the blessings today let me know God’s working on it
It’s like taking a pill to relieve the pain
While waiting for permanent healing in order to never hurt again

Thank You Lord for what you have done
I’m grateful for even the slightest relief
As I keep the faith and believe
That this problem will turn forever 180 degrees.
