I HAD TALK WITH GOD

I had a talk with God,
as I pondered my life's journey
"Dear God," I said, "I have no fear,
if I should die tonight.
I know my soul is saved,
for I have seen the light.

The blessings you've given were many,
some decisions I made were poor.
Still you looked upon me with love
Nothing less, nothing more."


And God asked...
"What more is there than God's love?"
I replied, "Nothing that I know."
He said, "For my love is eternal!"
I agreed, "True, no greater love I've known,
You always walked beside me."

God interjected... "Yes,
just as a true friend should always do."
I continued, "And when I grew weak and tired,
you let me lean on you."


"Dear child," God said,
"I've sent more things your way,
than you could ever want or need.
In return I ask just this,
live your life for me.

For, it's not the roads you travel,
that lead you to my door,
It's the souls that you'll bring with you,
that I put you on this earth for.


Take nothing I've given for granted,
for nothings truly yours to keep.
I only let you borrow them,
until you come home to live with me."

Jesus, Captain of Life’s Sea

Jesus, Captain of Life’s Sea

I have a friend in Jesus
Who guides me through the gale
A first mate and a skipper
Who helps me to set sail.
He offers strength and guidance
A helmsman at the wheel
An ever-steady beam of light
A fortress made of steel.

He’s the master of the ocean
My refuge and my rock
A harbor that I turn to
My anchor at life’s dock.
He’s a mighty sailing warrior
A helping hand indeed
A pilot through the churning waves
He meets my every need.

He’s the One I always run to
When the waves won’t let me be
The lighthouse that I turn to
On a rough and troubled sea.
He’s a smoothly sailing vessel
A refuge from the storm
The gentle breeze that sends me to
An island, sweet and warm.

He’s a brave and fearless skipper
A shelter from the heat
My water when I’m thirsty
A vessel filled with wheat.
He’s a sure and steady sailor
My Captain on life’s sea
No matter where I journey
He goes along with me.

ONE OF TWO - By the Late Pastor Victoriano T. Luzong

ONE OF TWO If you will open your bible and begin with the twentieth verse of the seventh chapter of Matthew and read the remainder of the chapter, you will learn that you are one of two sets travelers, one of two trees, one of two kinds of builders. All men are travelers. Of these travelers there are two divisions. You and I are in one or the other of these two divisions. There are two gates, and only two. There are only two ways, and there are only two destinies. You have entered one of these gates, you are one of these ways, and you are going to one of two destinies. All men are trees, all are bearing fruit. Of these trees there are two and only two kinds. You and I are one or the other of these two kinds. There are two kinds of trees, two kind of fruit, two kinds of harvests. You are one kind of these kinds of trees. You are bearing one of two kinds of fruit. You are going to reap one of two kinds of harvests which shall it be? All men are builders. Of these builders there are two and only two sets. You and I are among one or the other of these two sets of builders. These are two and only two foundations on which they are building. These are two and only two foundations on which they are building. These are two and only two results. You may say that you are not a traveler. But you are a traveler every moment of your life, and the way in which you are traveling will decide what your destiny shall be. You may ay you are not bearing fruit. But you are bearing fruit everyday of your life, and the kind of fruit that you are bearing fruit everyday of your life, and the kind of fruit you are bearing determines what your harvest will be. You may say you are not building. But you are building everyday you live, and you are building on one of two foundations, and this determines what will be the result when the end comes. Those that hear the sayings of Jesus and do these are in the way that leads to life, and bearing the good fruit, and are building n the sure foundation. Those who hear the sayings of Jesus and do them not are on the broad way, are bearing evil fruit, and are building on the sandy foundation. He that hath ears to hear let him hear.”
