5/6/18 Through 5/12/18

5/6/18 Through 5/12/18

Sunday

Love conquers all the world's ill

When faithful friends obey His will

A burden shared, a bond is formed

A heavy load, by, love transformed

No selfish lust for sordid gain

Just willingness to share the pain

A ready hand for those in need

No trace of avarice or greed

Fulfilling all of His commands

The grace from holy love expands

Creating there a perfect scene

Of beauty that no eye has seen.

Monday

Discouraged far too easily

We mustn't let the devil see

Us try our best to testify

Without the help of God on high

For only with His Advocate

Can words of our then cultivate

The ground of stony hearts to sow

The seed of love, and watch it grow

Tuesday

They could not bear to let Him go

The King of Kings they'd come to know

For mortal minds could not conceive

The greater gift they would receive

Spirit, wise and understanding

Fire of love, forever branding

Sins forgiven, boldness granted

Every word, a new seed planted

Never must we grab and hold things

But to get, we give away things

Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard

Love greater than on us conferred

Wednesday

Far more there is for you to know

But not until you further grow

The Spirit that I send to you

Will lead you in what things you do

Reminding of what words You said

And drawing in the way You led

Then as you follow you'll expand 

And things once hidden, understand

For either pauper or the Pope

There's always room and always hope

To further grow in selfless love

And knowledge of the Lord above

Thursday

To only speak of Christ the Lord

And crucified He be

The very blood of God outpoured

To rescue you and me

No time to waste with idle talk

Of politics or sport

It's time to take the faithful walk

Because our life is short

Friday

Fear not the trials that come your way

Heed not the words the evil say

Endure with patience every blow

Put trust in Him you've come to know

For you will weep, while they rejoice

But yours will prove the better choice

Then all will see that fateful day

That love has proved the better way

Saturday

Ask in My name and you shall receive

But know at the start that you must believe

I came from the Father and soon shall return

Great signs I have shown, so that you may learn

Love is the answer to all of your ill

So ask and receive, when you follow His will

See my example, how I fully give

And know it's the way, that He calls you to live.
