Beloved Gift

God sent his Son so long ago
To take away all earthly woe,
But many hearts were closed in sin.
The Holy Gift could not get in

Thus we still have unholy wars,
The greed and shame our God abhors.
He sent His Son to bring us love,
Fresh from the Heavens up above.

Those who have listened to his plea
Are from their sin forever free.
Love was the message that he brought,
Love for all men the lesson taught.

He weeps for those who turn away
And longs for them unto this day.

A most lovely picture of Jesus you paint with your words here. Oh, how very much he longs for fellowship with those who have turned from him. I do have a praise report in regards to "unholy wars" in that my son has come home safe form Iraq and I have been spending the past few months with him catching up on lost time... Our time together has been beyond words. God bless. -Bob

Your beautiful message is heart touching, dear Joyce.

I am glad that Bob's son is safe home.

May the message of love reach into all the darkest corners of the coldest hearts.

Love, Margherita

Now that my son is in need of healing, I call upon the Son of Man.

Your prayers will be appreciated.

"He weeps for those who turn away
And longs for them unto this day."

God continues to weep to this day- for us, for the whole world, and also in my country,  these unholy wars never cease to be.

Hi Bob, I join with you in giving thanks to God for your son's safe return.

Such beautiful words you write about our Savior, Joyce!!  Thank you SO much for sharing and I will be keep this one.

And Bob, I am SOOO thankful that your son came home safely!!!  PRAISE GOD!!!  My cousin will be going back over there next month for at LEAST six months...so prayers would be helpful on his behalf too.  Course...I think it is safe to say that ALL of the men and women over there need our prayers and support...for the incredible job that they are doing in keeping our homeland safe.  God bless them ALL!!  

With love in Christ,

Becka

There is gold within each of us
and we can never give it all away.  
It is there to be shared
and the giving only causes it to be replenished.
