That God is not like us
For God is faithful
Loyal
True
Forever.
All God asks
Is that we love
God
And neighbor
As ourselves.
All God desires
Is for us to
Believe
That JESUS
Came into the world
To show us love
Died on the cross
Rose again
To prove
God’s love.
All God wants
Is children
Who will trust
That God will
Make things right.
We’ve tried it ourselves
And FAILED
Time and time again.
We’ve tried
To save ourselves
With our money
Power
Fame
Reputations…
But still,
This empty place
In my heart
Reminds me that
Only God
Will ever be enough.
God says love me
And I will be faithful
To you for the next
One thousand generations.
I don’t know what will happen
Ten years from now.
But, God is talking about
Ten times one hundred
God is
Amazing!
Who else
Can I trust?
Everyone else has
Forsaken
Abandoned
Or betrayed me
At one time
Or another.
God has never done
Any of that.
God has
Never left me
Never forsaken me
Has always stood by me
Has loved me
Even when I did not
Love myself.
Oh!
Taste and see
That the Lord is
Good.
Try God.
Know God.
Trust God.
Believe God.
It will change your
Forever after
Life.
I’m talking
Eternal life.
If you
Only
BELIEVE…
This spoken WORD was inspired by the following scripture in the Holy Bible:
Deuteronomy 7:1-11 (NRSV)
Keeping God's commandments
When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, and he clears away many nations before you - the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you - and when the Lord your God gives them over to you and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for that would turn away your children from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. But this is how you must deal with them: break down their altars, smash their pillars, hew down their sacred poles, and burn their idols with fire. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
It was not because you were more numerous than any other people that the Lord set his heart on you and chose you - for you were the fewest of all peoples. It was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath that he swore to your ancestors, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, and who repays in their own person those who reject him. He does not delay but repays in their own person those who reject him. Therefore, observe diligently the commandment - the statutes, and the ordinances - that I am commanding you today.
