Better Than He Left It!!

Savior!!

May God bless your Sunday morning! I pray He would again pour out His Holy Spirit on His beloved world and once more fill it with the same fire as He did on that long ago Pentecost. May God bless and protect your day!!


Better Than What He Left It!

Be you transformed!
Brave even miraculous words
You first century apostle!
By pagan ignorant ears
Were they heard
Yet,
Even though simple, plain
Look how they set a culture
On fire!

Jesus loves you just as you are
True, true
Words from pulpits heard very often today
But
In a darkened, sin-filled condition
Never did He mean to let you stay!!

Always, always better He wants
For you
To be changed, renewed
He wants to leave you better
Than what He found you
So, go, sin no more
Let your eternal spirit soar
And
Through a Holy Spirit's Pentecostal fire
Reach ever so much higher
Leave the world a little better
Than what you found it!!!

Dry Season

Dry Season

Everyone goes through
A Dry Season
Feeling without a reason
Getting drier, drier
Stress, sorrow, pain
Roaring, growing
Higher, higher

Emotions, the body
Like dry, dead leaves
Dry, dead limbs
Will this dry season
Ever, ever end?
In the middle of the dark
No answer comes
Perhaps in this 
Season only is
Found true faith
In Heaven’s Only Son

In the middle of shallow waters
Full of only sludge
Life’s sharp, hard rocks
Oh, for a moment
Please, my next words
Do not me begrudge

Reach up for Christ!!

Always is found His glorious light
In the middle of our darkest,
Most wicked earthly fight
He will provide always
Sunlit, crystal shining waters
His provisions reach deeper
Every heartbeat
Exceeding all other worldly offers

You will bloom again
Christ will help you
Grow in faith through this
Dry season
No matter, the pain, 
The strong wind blowing
This dry breeze in
Never will He leave you,
Never will He forsake you
God’s love is still there
Heaven still deeply, deeply cares!

The Demon Slayers

You may watch this video also on my You Tube channel under my name Susan Guinn. Have a blessed day.

The Demon Slayers

Demon Slayers
What even we were meant to be
At just one whisper of Christ’s name
The darkness trembles
Then it turns to flee
Over man’s history on this earth
Life became an entirely new game

Attackers at first
Until. . . 
Christ’s resurrection bought for us
A complete and total new birth
Now satan’s demons run and hide
Afraid at last to show their true face
Knowing now had come 
Of their beforehand freedom
The very last taste

Christ,
Now ensconced upon His royal throne
Encircled with His eternal beauty’s golden glow
Christ’s heavenly warriors are daily sent
To rend and destroy man’s age-old foe
So we too may begin our most joyful ascent
Towards Our Savior’s most glorious grace
And His Paradise’s Open Gates!!

One Small Act

One Small Act

You watch
As you walk
Your breath
You catch
As
Jesus turns
He smiles
Inviting you
To join 
His group

Take a seat
Hold just 
One small hand
Then another
Or only one more
With this
You may be allowed
A completely different land
to influence
With Jesus
You never know
What might be in store

By holding onto others
Newer sisters, brothers
In this small act
You may be allowed
To release,
And 
To let go of
Yourself!

One Small Fish

One Small Fish

Some days 
I feel broken
Then I remember
Jesus our God
Broke one small fish
Of food 
It was only a
Minute token
Tearing it
Into very, very 
Many pieces

His purpose?
So that
He could meet
A greater need
That He
And the Father
Together could feed
Over five thousand
In only one day

So if you
Have to,
Allow yourself
To be broken
Even if many things
You stand to lose
That by Christ Jesus
You also may be used
To feed, to save
Hopefully,
Multitudes of others!!

Hammered


Hammered

At the hands
Of the smithy
Hammered
Over and over
Put back into
The burning,
Roaring flames
Removed
Only to be
Hammered
Again

God will do this
To us
You know
Maybe 
Just to show
How much
He really loves you

Remember
He chose you
Not any other
For this
Particular fire
Knowing you so well
Only He could tell
What you needed
To make you rise up
Be inspired
On His shoulders
Lifted higher 
And
Put back together
Newer, stronger, ready 
To follow 
His every step
