I love you forever

“I love you forever”

He came to us some two thousand years ago In our own way purchasing our sins to atone I knew about Jesus, I even went to church for show But I was far from the fold, so afraid and alone Always hoping my heart would soften and glow

“I love you forever”

He came to us some two thousand years ago

In our own way purchasing our sins to atone

I knew about Jesus, I even went to church for show

But I was far from the fold, so afraid and alone

Always hoping my heart would soften and glow

Then one day I heard His sweet voice calling

I opened up to the last Chapter of John

And in sorrow and shame my tears were falling

I really needed something to lean on

Instantly I felt love and eternal lifesaving

He took me in on that day when I was a stranger

Calling me home, my sins Christ atoned

Lifting me up from all of my troubles and danger

Worshiping and singing below his throne

Praise God forever, I’m no longer alone

Soon I’ll wear a white robe and golden crown

The triumphant rescue of my wicked soul

Without Him always a sad sinning clown

Just listen to that mighty angelic drum roll

Join the heavenly parade; it’s a victory stroll

So thank you Christ for calling on me

Even though I sin and daily let you down

I love you forever and humbly adore thee

Hold me forever, and help me anew

I love you forever; carry me through.

I penned this a few days ago. I hope somebody enjoys it.

What are you babbling about?

[dsc]

A most amazing thing.

Jesus asked, If you had a hundred sheep and one were lost, wouldn't you leave the 99 for a while and go search for the one who is lost?

Then He said, "I am the Good Shepherd."

The amazing thing is that He really does come looking for the lost sheep.

A most amazing thing.

It was a rhetorical question.

Jesus asked, If you had a hundred sheep and one were lost, wouldn't you leave the 99 for a while and go search for the one who is lost? Then He said, "I am the Good Shepherd."

Yes, I'm familiar with the stories.

The amazing thing is that He really does come looking for the lost sheep.

Yes, but what does he bowl? Hint: this is actually a serious question.

"Yes, but what does he bowl? Hint: this is actually a serious question."

If this is supposed to be some kind of zen mondo, I regret to tell you that there's a straightforward answer:

He bowls whatever is perfect in any given set of circumstances.

If this is supposed to be some kind of zen mondo, I regret to tell you that there's a straightforward answer:

Mondo? WTF is that? Do you, perhaps, mean koan? Only the straightforward answers ever count for anything, in any case, so I'm glad we're of like mind on this one.

He bowls whatever is perfect in any given set of circumstances.

Every time you prove to me that you're not one of the Thick, you both prevent god from killing another kitten and warm my heart.

Don't go changin', and don't regret things.

It means you've hesitated.

From the Kenkyusha New Japanese-English Dictionary:

Mondo –â“š n. questions and answers; a dialogue; a catechism. Ex. The catechetical method of Socrates.

Ooops, looks like the kanji didn't survive. Sorry.

I loved your words. You are a man/woman who wants God to reign in your life. You don't have to wait to where a white robe:

Rom 5:17 For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Because of what Jesus Christ did and what God was able to work through him you are RIGHTEOUS! That doesn't mean you live righteously every day but you are righteous in God's sight because you have accepted His son as your Lord and Savior. When God sees us it is like like seeing His Son Jesus Christ who never sinned. Even though we do sin God wants us to stand behind what Jesus Christ did for us. He (Jesus Christ died to take away our sins) So don't put Jesus back on the Cross because of your sin. God wants you to forget the sin and move on as righteous man/woman that you are. Hey, I didn't write the book.
