Here is a link to https://youtu.be/5j7X_ret3D4 one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. By Christian artist Aaron Shust, it was performed with Joshua Aaron, a Messianic Jew, on stage at the Tower of David in Jerusalem. I hope you enjoy it.

A New Box
We substitute
Tendency to loot
From Box to
Box
Compartmentalizing
Our way
Thru each & every
Day
A Box for home
A Box for work
A Box for fun
Then
the tiniest, tiniest box
Finally for our spirit
& God
So in they go
Into the larger Boxes
What we believe to be
Major spaces of our lives
But the most important parts
We then minimalize
Why do we put God
In a box so tiny
After all He is large
Runs a universe
So very shiny
With suns & moons
Black holes
Created endless numbers
Of souls
Let Him have all
Your Boxes
So give it a
Shot
Take God out
Of that smallest
Box
Pour the contents
Of all your Boxes
Into God’s large one
In that way
They might all
Become the same
He & His Son
Will be sure to run
Each Box’s contents
With only
The very best of intents
And extreme care
For He only wants to share
Himself,
that Ultimate Paradise
With you!
Suffer
(Sacrifice)
Suffering
Of any kind
Is not pleasant
Or fun
But it is the only way
To run
Toward Christ
Arms held open
To lovingly catch your
Suffering
For He knows
Your greatest foe
Knows the tactics
satan will expose
Every heartbeat uses
In his war against heaven
It is man, us he abusesTo break God’s heart
But
Suffering will come
As you try to follow
God’s Only Son
From a world
Being led
Being fed
By satan’s lies
So, you must come
To expect the
Suffering
Christ
Suffered in the extreme
To pull us out of the
Darkest of streams
To be faithful, loyal to Him
We must be willing to brave
The suffering
If unwilling we are
To endure any pain
For the Glory of His Name
Then
We do not truly love Him

Jesus or Disney World?
Disney World
That land of endless delights,
Thrills and joy!
Where nothing bad
Or sad ever happens
Your next adventure awaits
Between its hallowed gates
But wait
Don’t look too closely
You’ll see its flaws
Don’t take time
to stop or pause
They’re only whirling machines
Even though they
May glisten & gleam
It’s all a sham
A tall tale, a false dream
Wait for the real thing
To which to cling
Jesus wants to give you
Something honest, rock solid,
So Beautiful
Mere words do not suffice
To describe the heights
Of His eternity's delights
Perfection’s Love, Contentment,
Joy, Peace, Glories that await
Between His Majesty’s Golden Gates
Always & forever at His Right Hand
Even the Demons
People do go to church
Walk thru a door
Choose a seat
Stay awhile
Turn & smile
Say they believe
But rituals alone
Do not change a heart
May or may not help
You grow
Closer, more intimate,
Obedient
To your Creator
So only saying you believe
Will not save your soul
Just to believe is only
The first part of the goal
Because even
Demons believe & tremble
They just chose the wrong side
Do not follow their guide
God is after the Human Heart
So He may start
To transform you
Into His Son,
A co-heir with Him
So you may win,
Transcend
The darkness
Enter His light,
A forever Paradise!!
