Only grace through faith

by royowen

Only grace through faith

If we can't offer hope my friend, then I'll not criticise.
I'll not be one more angry man, gloom's angry enterprise.
If I can't offer hope my friend to float on favour's flight.
I'd rather stoke dream's bright success that shines on you its light.

I've been an advocate of hope to generate light's dreams.
I'll not create a long dark walk of hopeless plans and schemes.
I'll only speak God's faith in truth, I'll not spruke evil's word,
nor will I sing deception's tune with rumours I have heard.

For I will never waste my breath on wasted flattery,
and spend my time expanding heads on falseness' strategy.
The only time my lips will speak, will sing love's lullabies.
For unconditional is love, this salve of grace applies,

The truth is that God's only seen when desperate lips will ask.
His will is that he will reply for that's His Holy task.
So never entertain the thought that you are no one's gem.
to Him you're precious and you're loved, inscribed on Heaven's hem.

R.Owen

*Photo of a homeless mam, this man is precious to God.
The greatest fallacy that I have ever heard is that only good people go to Heaven, or attend church regularly, or are doing good deeds, while these things are desirable, it is only faith that gains Gods favour, if that was not true this person. me, who was an alcoholic, addicted gambling smoker would not have stood a chance. All men are sinners, that is why Jesus died for our sins and was raised from the dead for our justification, you are precious to God, from the foulest criminal to the scoutmaster and pastor of a church, it is only in the work of the cross can we be raised.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. KJV

Romans 3:23
For)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. NKJV

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ESV

Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
