Death’s deceits in bottle’s dregs

Battered soul seeks Holy Judge

“I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion, And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD…” Hosea 2:19-20, New American Standard Bible

“And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice and celebrate and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.  She was given clothing of fine linen, linen bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints…” Revelation 19:6-8, Berean Study Bible

Blood of The Perfect Lamb

Blessed Resurrection Day to all!  Christ died and was resurrected for the sins of mankind; if we accept Him as Savior and Lord, His Blood cleanses ALL our sins—past, present, future—so that God sees us spotless; as having the righteousness of God in Christ, being joint-heirs with Him. 

If you haven’t made Jesus Lord of your life, don’t wait any longer.  I can tell you that your Worst day WITH Him will be Better than your Best day WITHOUT Him.  Life “here” will never be perfect; but having Jesus as the Anchor of Hope, the Unshakable Rock, does make the challenges do-able.  God is faithful to supply us with endless grace and mercy, and unfailing LOVE ♥

Blood of perfect Lamb

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace”  Ephesians 1:7, New American Standard Bible

“But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him! For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!”  Romans 5:8-10, Berean Study Bible

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot. He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake…” 1 Peter 1:17-19, Berean Study Bible

Flailing feelings, overwrought thoughts

Raggedy faith, unraveling hope

Anxious, angry at all which besets

No resolution, relief appearing

Turbulent trials would test a saint

It may be this one’s near end of frayed rope…must trust

Christ Risen to conquer calamity, control rocking boat

Quartet of angels

Sing somber-gloried welcome

Soul gone Home in haste

~

Quartet of seagulls

Raucous cries conceal heartache

Grieving scavengers

~

Quartet of critics

Haughty naysayers proved right

Gloat o’er final fall

~

Quartet of wind chimes

Soothing sounds, notes sing night’s psalm

Black-sapphire jeweled hours
