THE NEWNESS OF OUR SPIRIT

Each sermon I hear new spirit
is needed in our hearts
that renewal and revival
must be that fresh start

Yet we seem not to follow
the words God sends our way
the newness of our spirit
has to become fresh with each new day

We have to have a zeal
a true fire to burn so bright
a longing and true desire
to give the world God's holy light

There is someone out there crying
thinking and wishing for death
and we know this is happening
for Jesus they have not met

We His children love Him
and we are so aware of what He can do
so why are we so slow to help
the lost who need Him too

Our age is not a factor
young or old Jesus says"witness for Him
go do the work I require of you
tell my people how to be free of sin

Take away the comfortable chair
My Spirit sits on in your heart
let Him use you as a Holy Vessel
let His true job begin to start

You thank Jesus for all your blessings
that He gives you in your life
let those blessings multiply
become on Fire For Jesus Christ

So please even if it's a baby step
let it begin anew in you today
make the joy of the Lord's true work
a hunger in you that will grow each day

Dear Rose Mary; Wonderful poem filled with the challenge we all need to hear. I must say I grab every oppotunity to  let people know that God's Grace fills my life. Thanks for this reminder. Love, Ellie

Rose,
  Thank you Father for Rose, thank you for Your presence in her life, continue to use her for Your glory. Amen.
  Rose, I don't know what to say. Your every line and word straight from heaven. This morning I began my day with a "attitude". I started to open email and there was a message that allowed me to cry and humbled me in my heart. I thanked them for this message, for my heart was not where God should have it. Now, I know why after reading your poem, my first here today.
  People here at Spiritual's Forum are given a opportunity to worship openly before man to God, which pleases God so much; they also are given the opportunity to show a heart of selfish greed or hostility openly before man and unto God. Which will it be? Self or God?
  Thank you Rose, for your beautiful poem has blessed me and does each time I click onto your name. Please continue daily as you are a shinning light for many, including me.
I love you, sister.
