To pick a favorite passage At the exclusion of all the rest, For me is a difficult decision For by so many, I have been blest. But for the sake of the challenge I've one I feel that's Great And helps fill me with Confidence It's found in ROMANS EIGHT. Beginning there at verse 31 And running to this chapter's end, Let me share these uplifting words And bless you today, my dear friends. What shall we say, 'bout our Blessings Divine Why should there be so much fuss? If God Almighty is on our side Who can, in this world, stop us? Of this we can truly be assured And because of this my heart just sings, If God let Christ Die on the cross for us all Through Him, will He not give us All things? We need not worry about the charges men make If as God's Elect, we abide, It is His Approval we seek above all, By God we are Justified. And who has the power, us to condemn Overriding Christ's victory and place? He is Risen, at God's Right Hand resides Interceeding for us by His Grace. Who shall separate us from the Savior's Love Tho' many would try to disgrace, Trouble,hardships,lackings, life threats Can ne'er us in His Love displace! For lo, it is written,For His sake we are slain Daily accounted as slaughter house sheep, But in these things we're conquerors supreme He in Love, us, securely keeps. This being so,convinced with all my heart There is nothing more Powerful than Him, Whate'er entities raise up their foul heads To weakness, their strength will be dimmed. Whether of Death, or the dangers of Life Of Mighty Angels and Powers that be, Whether the threat is for the future or now Through my Lord, they won't overcome me! For height nor depth, nor created things Shall be able to cut Love's strong cord, And seperate us from the Love of God Which is found in Christ Jesus, our Lord. AMEN & AMEN "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

David, this is so inspiring, it covers God's provision, His guidance and His protection for us, all wrapped up in His Love! Excellent choice to share with us, Oh Challlenge Leader! Thank you, Dennis :^) One question, WHY the road kill icon at the top of this piece? [This message has been edited by Dennis L. White (edited 03-21-2000).] |

David, I know wthat you mean by trying to pick just one. It's hard to do. I love the book of Roman's, and I think you've done a fantastic job with this verse. You sure are gifted putting verse into poetry! |
