Inspired by Isaiah 11:1-9

Remember the future
Comes day-by-day
Until one day
It doesn’t.
Refuse to delay
And stray away
From God’s hope
Into spiritual decay
And downhearted dismay.
Focus on what
The risen King Jesus
Has to say.
Daily follow and obey
His living Way
Of being always
Led by His Spirit.
Let His life sprout
And grow as a branch
Full of the Spirit’s fruit,
Rising from the wasteland
Within you,
Let the Spirit of Christ’s
Counsel and might
Ever empower you
And His presence
Make you new!

Refuse to breath the bad air
Of hopelessness and despair.
You were born to make
The world a better place,
Not to be flushed
Down the drain
By all the pain
In the world.

Let God rearrange
Your heart and mind
And make you
The healing change
That hurting people
Are desperate to find.

Insults and put downs
Don’t disappear
Without a trace.
They displace
Inner peace
And leave lasting pain
Every place
They go.
Only forgiveness
Can erase
Their ugly stain.

We should never talk about Jesus like He’s not in the room. Wherever we go, there He is!

Jesus loves me this I know for He daily tells me so (and the Bible does, too)! When Jesus calls you to do something, you don’t need the approval or support of a church. Just do what He says!

It’s time for all Christ-followers to be trailblazing pioneers who prepare the way of the Lord, day and night! The risen Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life all year long all the years of our life! Every act of kindness makes the world a better place.
