Choosing Affliction

So, choose rather to suffer
Affliction, with God’s people
Than passing pleasures of sin
Be with Christ, and not evil.

Be Encouraged

Seems feelings, change often
Are not easily controlled
So we seek, passing pleasures
Hope our feelings, are consoled.

Be Daily Inspired

Be daily inspired
By God’s Holy Word
Pray the Spirit of God
Cause your heart, to be stirred.

Be Bold

Jesus calls us to go
Bold, as His disciples
But we’ve always excuses
Allow ‘self’, easily stifle.

Counted Worthy to Suffer

And we trust not in self
Despair even of life
But ’tis God, who will raise us
Out of suffering, and strife.

Are You a Faithful Servant?

Well done, good and faithful
The LORD will declare
To those loyal, trustworthy
Of all they took care.

A Faithful Servant?

I press toward the goal, yes, for the prize. The upward call of God in Jesus Christ.
