Called to Discipleship

Witnessing early morning’s light of peace
Feeling Father’s presence, always nearby
Descending tranquility, never cease
Wiping away tears from yesterday’s cry
Harvesting faith’s sustaining, living bread
Accepting Savior’s forgiveness, now freed
Receiving Father’s grace, hope shall be fed
Thriving with righteousness, sowing her seeds
Praying with thanks, praising Father most high
Sharing eternity’s light, nourished with love
Sending Spirit, among bluest of sky
Scaling merciful path, heavens above
Called to discipleship, with Jesus Christ
Purchased at Calvary, blood sacrificed
From Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High, to declare Your steadfast love in the morning and Your faithfulness by night.”

Monday Memories: Spiritual Messengers
From the words of Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher, Oswald Chambers: “We are not turned into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part of ourselves.”
Our time here on this earth
Limited and finite
Humble servants of God
Carry on the good fight
Called to spread the Good News
Find one person at a time
Urged to evangelize
Sharing God’s paradigm
Giving us strength in faith
Our Lord standing with us
Invite all to listen
Proclaim His truth, a plus
As our God’s messengers
Hearts broken by our flaws
Baptized by Holy Spirit
Drafted into His cause
From 2 Timothy 4:2: “Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.”
