What makes us feel guilty you might ask
It is how you feel, after doing a wrong task
You can carry the guilt and strife through the rest of your life
It is better to cut it loose with a very sharp knife
Jesus is a two-edged sword, the Bible says
Ask Him to come in, letting the deliverance be His
The burden will be lifted, a new Joy in your heart
Feeling His Love, you will never depart

He came to me to set me free
That His Glorious Love I might See
Not deserving that he die for me
His love completely overwhelmed me
My task in life is to spread the word
That the Holy Gospel may be heard
Nothing earthly can save man from sin and strife
Only Jesus's Great Love, can give eternal life
Oh the Loving Joy that comes within,
when we open our hearts and ask Jesus in
Since it is by faith, we come to know him
We often overlook, because our sight is dim
When our hearts turn from the things of this world
His Glorious Love will slowly start to be unfurled

First Baptist Church Louisa, Ky“
Wanting the Best and giving the Best are two completely different actions.
One turned inwardly, one outwardly, resulting in two different reactions.
The person who wants is not concerned about his brothers.
The person who gives has much love for others.
Give of Your Best to The Master it is said.
The Master gave His Best, His Son who bled.
The Best we have is not measured by our brothers.
It's measure by GOD, in us showing His Love to others.
Faith is the secret to finding God’s Love.
Caring is the yardstick He uses from above.
The best offering we can give back to Our Loving God
is sharing His Love with others wherever we trod.

Sunday School lesson. Obedience In Offerings. October 23, 2022
Where did I come from and where am I going?
The exact answer is in understanding, always growing.
In my daily life, I can say, I'm coming from here going to there.
Beyond that realm of speculation, the answer is somewhere.
Much confusion in my life has been surrounded by this query.
I have found the very answer lies,
Closeness to God is the Best Theory.

Love and Kindness go a long way
In most any situation I would say
The more you give, the more you get
Never having any doubtful regrets
Love and kindness will bring out the best in anyone
Even when they have lost all hope in almost everyone
The next chance you have, give all the Love and kindness you can spare
For this will surely make this world a much better place, when we share

Inspired from
On the Road with Steve Hartman
An assistant manager at McDonald's
Gave so much Love and Kindness to
The young people employed at her store.
Why this why that, a very daunting topic I must say.
We never have a firm answer, always asking why at the end of the day.
We can ask why about most anything I suppose.
When it comes to the very heart of the matter, only God knows.
The closer we are to him, the more We will understand.
The answer only being revealed in the Promise Land.

Mentioned the town “Why” in Arizona
Does God take care of all the little details for you?
It's often easier to see the big ones and let the little ones slip through.
The closer we get to God, the picture becomes clear.
Standing at a distance, the details become a smear.
Large details are easier to see from quite a distance.
The smaller one's come into clear focus if we only listen.
No matter where you find your station in life
closeness to God will bring you much less strife.

Who is your trainer and where do you meet them?
Do you have a membership? Is it at a local gym?
Do you perform exercises to get into shape?
So that an early grave you might escape.
Do you have a trainer for your spiritual body?
Where do you meet them? Is it a place where God’s word you study?
Unlike physical training, to lengthen your earthly life.
Here, learning about God’s Son Jesus will bring you eternal life.
This could be a Church or a meeting with friends.
Wherever reading God’s word, never ends.
The more you exercise your Spirit, the closer you get to him.
You feel his Love and mercy. His face becomes not nearly so dim.
You will hear the trainer's every word.
Realizing that it is you, he has heard.

The unforgettable Day the Earth stood so very still
was the Glorious Day, Jesus obeyed His Father's Will
The darkest day that will ever be
Nothing like that will we ever see
On Resurrection Day a bright light from Heaven
shown through.
Looking directly into that light could easily blind you
At night when there is an absence of light
The warmth of his love will become so bright
You will never be anxious in the dreary dark again.
When you meet Jesus and ask him to come live within.

What a great place to take your whole family.
A great place for kids, you won't lose your sanity.
Everyone loves the many choices on their menu.
There has never been a more delightful dining venue.
From Baby Jane to Grandpa Jim,
All being satisfied while keeping slim.
The attentive staff is always so friendly and caring.
It seems their kindness they're always sharing.
They are hired first, because of their outstanding character.
Being taught the work skills, to serve America.
When you have genuine love in your heart
It will be transferred to the customer's, A la carte.
