250513 God Cares Not

 God Cares Not

God cares not how you look, what you've read in a book
Or the kind of clothes worn on your back
He cares not who you know, the fine places you go
Or if athletic talent you lack

God cares not if you've found that you've put on some pounds
Nor if hair has been thinning or gray
Not if house is unclean, the rock stars you have seen
Or the trophies, awards you display

What does God care about? I can say without doubt
It's not what's parked inside your garage 
Or the money you bank, social status you rank 
All of those things are simply marage 

On the spiritual front, forgive if I am blunt 
But he cares not a flip what you preach 
It's much more what you do than the things you speak to 
For your actions are how that you teach 

God cares not if one knows how big mustard seed grows 
He just cares if you have faith at all 
Doesn't matter to Him if you've memorized hymns 
He just wants you to come when He calls 

No requirement of His you know who Titus is 
Or how many books Torah contains 
Though it's fine if you do, He won't ask it of you 
Cares much more for our hearts than our brains 

For when your heart's for Him any song becomes hymn 
That you sing with true worship and praise 
And the way that you live will show others you're His 
How the face of your Savior displays 

So, let's care for God things and His glory that brings 
Things like kindness and honor and love 
Put earth's values aside and in Jesus abide 
And be cared for by Father above

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

240531 In the Garden

In the Garden In my garden I find peace From all the troubles thrown my way My breathing slows, tensions release When digging in the dirt and clay To garden does not feel like toil Or work that I am forced to do It's joy to feel my hands in soil To grow things and watch life renew The weeds don't even make me pout Imagine each one as a care I pluck them up and throw them out Now gone as if we're never there What joy to watch new sprouts appear From bulbs I planted in the fall Their blooms filling my heart with cheer The tulips, daffodils, and all Each early morn while there's still dew And sun has just begun to rise I rush to see what sprouted new Each leaf and bud a sweet surprise  Then, carefully, I tend each one A little water, proper soil The right amount of shade or sun Such pleasant work, nothing can spoil You all are truly gardeners, too  A fact that perhaps you don't know You're sowing things by what you do And also reaping what you grow For when you pla...

231003 Unearned

Unearned Earn a promotion, earn a raise Earn touchdown for good football plays Earn gold medal or blue ribbon Earn leading role for play you're in Earn soccer trophy, scholarship  Earn respect in a relationship  Earn settlement in legal suit Earn recognition playing flute While every one of those is nice Won't earn your way to paradise  It's not something you can work for Only one way opens that door It's a free gift! Can you believe it? The one thing to do is receive it Accept that Jesus is the Christ And then can live in paradise  It seems too simple to be true For surely there is more to do In this life, everyone has learned All things of value must be earned How could this gift be freely given A golden ticket into heaven? Not really free - cost dearest price Through broken body of Jesus Christ  For with his death, sin's bill was paid Then rose so we could all be saved All done because of unearned love From God, our Father up above Don't strive to earn it any...
