Southern Charms

My husband and I got to get out of the house today and walk along our city’s greenway system. The sun was bright, the humidity nice and low as we moved along the river’s edge. We got to enjoy even some of our animal friends. They seemed to enjoy the weather as much as we did. Hope you enjoy the pictures and verse. Have a God-blessed day!!!

Southern Charms

I do declare,
walking in these southern airs
Nature's Southern Charms
most certainly at times
can one completely, totally disarm

I gain delight
at only one sight
of this time of year
Joyful indulgence
Joy for the eye
Yes, even for the ear

Now at fall's cusp
as summer exerts
it's last warmer thrusts
Get out
Enjoy nature's treasures
Store within the heart
Each large and smaller
of all its bountiful pleasures!!

Turn the Back??


Turn The Back?

I wonder sometimes
Why, Oh Why
Why so many lacks
Food, clothes, joy
But the worst
Of all, love
Could it be 
Because we've turned
The back?

To
Our original purpose 
Even though bought
With a bloody purchase
What have I refused you say?
To this very hour 
To this very day
Man still turns his back
On His Living, Breathing God
Of any questions????
Mostly without stopping
To even ask

So perverted are we,
So rebellious
But
Fortunately,
God for us
Is very jealous
In His extreme grace 
Love and mercy
Sent His son
On a great journey

To die 
On an agonizing cross
Bringing us back home
Gave us His Spirit
A deep, penetrating loan
To achieve His original purpose
Never again for us to roam
Too far out of 
His Kingdom's gates
So we may receive
Forever that first taste
Of standing eternally before 
Our Father's Beautiful, Smiling Face!!!

Unstoppable!!

Unstoppable

A pouring out
A flood through
Heaven's Gate
Nothing, no one
This Holy Power
Will ever abate
For if Almighty God
Decrees it
Then every human eye
Every soul will 
See it

No more darkness
Will rule God's planet
Christ's victory dance
Upon it
Is for all eternity, 
All of God's infinity
Totally, and in resounding
Joy
Completely
And
Gloriously
Unstoppable!!!

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 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!!

The GATE


The Gate

This,
An unusual gate
An unusual shape
Formed 
Of two wooden beams
Not entirely an
Unbroken seam
What's known as
A Cross

On it people were hung
By hands or wrists
From its one horizontal rung
Until
No longer down here
Did they exist

Left to die
Against God's pale blue sky
But
For them it was not
The end
For them the journey
Was it just about 
To begin

Their souls released
To step through a gate
Into eternal peace
Or into a darker pain
For them,
Their existence would
Never be the same

Christ took that dark
Symbol of man's brutality
And turned it into the new 
Reality
Of God's goodness, 
Forgiveness
Love
Falling in heavenly showers
Of Jesus Christ's blood

So won't you step through
This heavenly gate 
Opened daily, 
Always freely to you
But remember,
Only by your own faith
As your Creator's joy-filled
Heart awaits
Do its portals swing wide
To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
