Jacob’s Well

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments 
While everyone is working on 
Important things to do
God is not too busy 
For listening to you

And in spite of all you’ve done
Or what you’re going through
Jesus is waiting by the well
And He wants to talk to you

Alone by the well of Jacob
Jesus rests in that secret place
And He’s offering His Living Water
When we meet Him face to face

Jacob’s well was there and Jesus. tired as He was from His journey
Sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John 4:6 ESV

Oh the Wonder of His Plan!

I’m not just an act of nature
She’s not my mom - I’m not her kid
I’m not guided by the course of stars
Or by what my parents did

But I was formed in secret
By my God’s almighty hand
As He knit together all my parts
And breathed life in every strand

Though I have marred His image
That He designed to be
His own dear face reflected in
His life that lives in me

But at Calvary He’s chosen
To reveal His love for man
Christ in us the hope of glory
Oh the wonder of His plan! 



To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27 ESV

No!Not this One!

/ pastorpete51 / 7 Comments 
The heron snatched the lizard up
As quietly it slept
When to its rescue out the door
My wife in fury swept

"No!Not this one!"
She yelled and shook
Her fist with flashing eyes
So in dismay he turned to fly
And dropped his newfound prize

Then I recalled how I was lost
 Moving from town to town
When all around me danger crept
Looking to hunt me down

But a voice so quiet yet so deep
Echoed in my shadowlands
"No! Not this One!"
I heard Christ say
Then He took my trembling hands!
