~ We are all children of the most High. ~
Psalm 82:6
~ Oh, Brother! ~
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
1998, Clay Crowder
Sticks and stones may break my bones.
But, words come back to haunt me.
When we are not right with ourselves,
We are not right with the world,
And we are not right with our God.
It happens to the best of us,
Brings out the worst in us,
And effects the rest of us.
When we tend to our soul,
The tongue takes care of itself.
A perfect world is a world without sin.
A perfect church is the one you're not in.
A mirror is only as beautiful as its' reflection.
God so loved us that we could love each other.
Changing your world begins in your heart.
God isn't too proud to rummage through garbage dumps,
As some of His best handiwork is made out of junk.
God did not call us to be someone else.
If we take two steps forward and one step back,
We are still going forward.
It makes no difference how one is qualified,
As faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it;
For, it is God who builds HIS church.
God makes all things beautiful, in His time.
Isn't it about time we let Him?
If you want to know what Jesus would do,
Just ask yourself, "Is it Love?"
It would help us all to consider that
(Anytime we are not listening for the Spirit,
Walking in the Spirit, following the Spirit)
We are sitting on God's throne.
When God decides a matter,
The first place He will start
Is not upon the circumstance.
He looks upon the heart.
Know what you believe
Because you heard it from God.
"Man looks on the outward appearance,
But the Lord looks on the heart."
Except God gives us
The ability to see man's heart,
We are way out of our league.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged,"
Is a pretty specific warning for us all.
Not forgetting we are also human,
Why not give others a break
And love them anyway?
God takes it very personal
How we treat His children.
Those who receive people in meekness
Have learned a very special lesson.
In the right place, at the right time,
Under the right circumstance -
There is no sin we couldn't be tempted with.
Only by the mercy of God when it isn't me.
Brother against brother is a testimony
The lost world notices.
Without unconditional acceptance,
There is no unconditional love.
Only when we become one with God
Can we become one with each other;
One in heart, soul, purpose,
Body, mind, and strength.
Some build for today. Others build for eternity.
Peace begins once we realize we are all in the same boat
And God gave us gifts to help each other find our way.
Plant God's seed and He will grow the crop.
Today's Difficulties are Tomorrow's Testimonies.
Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself
And decide to be happy anyway.
The sun is just beyond the clouds.
Were we to ask God to open our eyes,
To see ourselves as He sees us;
To examine our heart, actions,
Attitudes, and motives ...
God would be faithful to show us
How we are hurting His cause.
Once we've found our sin and corrected it,
We can ask God to show us another, and then another.
One step at a time, we’ll be weeding out
The flesh and evil’s power over us
While winning the world to Christ.
We can make a difference once
We decide to be the difference,
Then do it all for the glory of God.
It begins within "OUR" heart.
What You Feed, Grows
As you go about your daily chores
And the anger comes and goes,
Try not to feed that anger.
For, what you feed grows.
I've often heard it said
That what man reaps he sows.
So, be careful of rotten seeds.
For, what you feed grows.
Rotten seeds come out of nowhere,
Scattering the way the wind blows;
Sometimes, landing on the purest heart.
But remember, what you feed grows.
Choose all your thoughts wisely.
For, no matter what, God knows.
Thoughts plant a seed in your heart
And what you feed grows.
