Shadows Over February Quotes

glistening in the sun.
Yesterday’s gone,
tomorrow may come,

The strongest storms
The hardest rain

The roughest terrain
Great men must go through great pain”

“You have to get off that finite road that you’ve created from your transitional standpoint and onto the path of light. Onto the infinite road of eternal existence, the firm foundation of truth. This is where the crooked becomes straight, the lost get found, the blind see, and the dead live. Where the tangible reasoning of logical man loses credibility and is proven unrealistic. Where faith becomes active and the world of the supernatural becomes obvious. You have to accept Jesus. Accept it, accept Jesus.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“You were created in the image of God. The image of God. And it is only through God that you can find the true meaning of life. And it is only through God that you can truly find fulfillment.
And it is only through God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, that you can be saved.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

Who gets lost with the right guidance?
Who can lead wrong that follows right?
And are there any good reasons for a
believer in Jesus to be distraught?

I’ll answer.

No one.
No one.
And no.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Jesus, my God,
the greatest love I've ever known,
I'm in awe of
the love towards me that You have shown.
I take a breath so not to cry.
Who am I, Lord? Who am I
that You would love me as much as You do?
That you would love me?-that You would?-You?
Jesus, my God,
the Lord of Heaven and of earth,
You come to me,
and make of me a man of worth.
Blessed, Savior, I pray this prayer,
O my Lord, for this, my care-
May none of me for too long remain,
but all of You within me reign.”

“Jesus,
Your will be done in my life.
Whether a home, whether a wife.
You know me better than I do.
I'm thirty now, You know that too.
Things I want, things I think I need-
may nothing be by lust or greed.
Lead me, guide me, by Your Spirit.
Give me ears to clearly hear it.
Give me eyes to sincerely see
the things in life You will for me.”

“Something good has come. It's here.
A true assurance. Do not fear.
Do not worry anymore.
The past has passed, so close that door.
Now a joyful time is here.
The smile overtakes the tear.
Don't be concerned anymore.
What lies ahead was not before.
Look out there beyond a thought.
Beyond this earth, and all it's got.
Can you see it? Can you hear it?
Catch yourself up in the Spirit.
Hear beyond the ears you tame.
There's Someone calling out your name.
See beyond the eyes you train.
There's Someone guiding you through pain.
It's Jesus, leading the way.
He's come again to save the day.
Go to Him and do not leave.
Run to His side, my friend, and cleave.
He's our Shepherd, do not stray.
Those off His path don't know the way.
Stay close, so to hear His voice.
Follow Him, obey, and rejoice.
Salvation has come. It's here.
Blessed assurance, do not fear.
Do not worry anymore.
The past has passed, so close that door.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Behind the dark secrets of your intentions
lies a brief description of an analytical
skeptic trying to remain camouflage behind
the scenes of discovery:

A Pretentious Pretender.

You are blindly guided by an inapt intellect
that steers you closer to an effete world
within the bounds of tyranny. You speak
to be heard, but do not hear. You listen
with your ego, and vain amuse. When the
sun sets, you are certain of your
contentions, and make believe that they
are appreciated. Some helpful advice may be in order. Fall back, erase from existence the very
essence of your hypocrisy. It's time for a change. Your way isn't helping anyone. Step
aside, and let Jesus take the lead.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“A dark night, cloudy sky.
No moonlight. Your last try.
Strength is gone. You're afraid.
Bad mistakes have been made.
Tears falling, sobbing sounds.
Gone too far out of bounds.
One more thing left to do.
Only one left for you.
Go to God, to Jesus.
You know He forgives us.
Believe it and confess.
Repent for all that mess.
He'll cleanse you, make you clean.
Sketch you in a new scene.
Hurry now. Don't you wait.
Nothing to contemplate.
Say goodbye to the night.
Say hello to the light.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“When temptation comes,
you've got to stay strong.
Go forward to right,
not backwards to wrong.
Search out the righteous.
The Christian others.
The godly sisters.
The godly brothers.
Those strong in the word.
Who know how to pray.
Who speak to mountains,
and make them obey.
Those strong in Jesus.
JOHN 15:7.
Abiding in Him,
our Lord in Heaven.
These are the brethren
you need by your side
when the storms of life
are turning the tide.
These are the brethren
you need with you when
the battles of life
get harder to win.
I praise God for you,
the true and upright.
You who've encouraged
my walk in the light.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Light breaks darkness, and chains fall
away like fetters loosed from my hopes.
No blind folds. I want to see you.
No masks. I want you to see me.
There is no deception in truth.
I hold up my head and walk through
the pain of what once was to what now is.
I've opened that door.
I've come in to stay.
Love has made me welcome,
and I know that I am home.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“I'm going forward with a smile.
Not even staying for a while
in the sinking ships of yesterday.
I've swam to shore and am on my way.
With no sudden stops to take a break.
Not going to fall for that mistake.
Faster, faster, and picking up pace.
My heart's prepared to finish the race.
Through summers warm, and through winters cold,
getting closer to the streets of gold.
A long way passed the extra mile.
I'm going forward with a smile.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Lord,
I don't want to speak
if my words aren't true.
I don't want to think
if it's not about You.
If it's not about You,
I don't want to hear.
If it's not over You,
I don't want to cheer.
Guide me, Father.
Lead the way always
through the dark nights
into the bright days.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“You break me down, then build me up.
You pour me out, then fill my cup.
I love You, Jesus. I'll rejoice.
I'll lift my hands. I'll lift my voice.
Refine me, Lord. O clean my heart.
May all uncleanliness depart.
Holiness, I yearn for thee.
Wicked world, depart from me!
Lord, thank You for Your awesome grace.
Soon I'll reach the eternal place.
When the corruptible finally dies,
and the incorruptible will rise.
O Lord, what a time that will be
when I'm with You eternally.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Stay in God's Word. Don't depart.
Add it daily to your heart.
Grow strong in faith, by it live.
Find the lost and freely give.
Give them Jesus. Give them Him.
His example give to them.
Walk uprightly without sin.
Speak no guile - none. Amen.
Bind the devil, bruise his head.
Heal the sick, and raise the dead.
Stay in the light. Keep on track.
Our Lord Jesus will be back.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February

“Traditions of men will come to an end.
But commandments of God won't change,
flex or bend.”

“When faced with trouble, your first instinct
may be to run away.
But if you listen carefully, you just may hear
God say "Stay."
Oftentimes we want to flee, retreat instead of
face our fear.
But God says "No. Be strong. Have courage.
I'm with you. Persevere.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Shadows Over February
