Put On Love

Image
Sometimes it is hard to do this, to put on love. We are told to hate the sin, but to embrace the sinner made in the creator's image. How difficult is this, when the iniquity of pride is celebrated by our world. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to be patient, when all is crumbling in our midst, when we are told that ungodliness is beautiful and our creator is prone to mistakes. We are told to let peace enter our hearts, in these times. Not just any peace, but His. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to let God's word enlighten wisdom in the depths of our souls, when daily the world slanders the giver of good things and spits at the base of His son's cross. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Come, There Is a Teacher

Come, there is a teacher you must hear. He is patient. He gathers his students in fields and speaks to them of profound truths. Come, those who gather a deep kinship. You may stumble with his teachings, but you need not fail. He offers endless chances for you to get it right. Come, He answers any questions you ask. He heals your doubt, and if you turn away because his truth is hard He will accept you when you return. Come, He offers you a place to rest. He brings nourishment, fish and bread, and if you are one who stands beside him in the end You may share his wine. Come, Many have. Many have sat where you consider sitting. Many have listen. Some have heard. Some have even called him by name. copyright 2023 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
