"Our Greatest Need"

 

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator; If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist; If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist; If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer; But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.

 

"THE BEST POEM IN THE WORLD"

 

 

 I was shocked, confused, bewildered
 as I entered Heaven's door,
 Not by the beauty of it all,
 by the lights or its decor.

 

 But it was the folks in Heaven
 who made me sputter and gasp--
 the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
 the alcoholics, the trash.

 

 There stood the kid from seventh grade  
 who swiped my lunch money twice.
 Next to him was my old neighbor
 who never said anything nice.

 

 Herb, who I always thought
 was rotting away in hell,
 was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
 looking incredibly well.
 I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
 I would love to hear Your take.
 How'd all these sinners get up here?
 God must've made a mistake.

 

 And why's everyone so quiet,
 so somber? Give me a clue."
 "Hush, child," said He "They're all in shock.
 No one thought they'd see you."

 

 Judge NOT.

 

 

"A Prayer For You"

 

  

 

The Lord always hears our prayers,
But He does not always say, "Yes!"
Sometimes He says, "Wait"
Sometimes He says, "No"
For He has something better for us.
 
God's delays are not denials,
He has heard your prayer;
He knows all about your trials,
Knows your every care.
 
God's delays are not denials,
Help is on the way,
He is watching o'er life's dials,
Bringing forth that day.
 
God's delays aren not denials,
You will find Him true,
Working through the darkest trials,
What is best for you.
 
When God does not immediately respons to the crises of His children,
it is because He wants to accomplish some greater purpose in their lives. If you are waiting for an answer to some heartfelt petition, don't become impatient. Commit the matter into the hands of your loving heavenly Father and trust His wisdom.

 

 

Have a BlessedWeekend
