Thoughts About The Deeper Christian Life



Help me to lay

down my life

I know I have drifted from You.

Help me to lay

down my life;

to surrender each part,

to be faithful and true


***


Repentance is key

as we seek to go deeper:

what sin has led you astray?

Anger and doubt, an unloving way?

Repent, lay down all

as you kneel down and pray


***


Doubt and lack of faith

bind you and lead you away

doubt and lack of faith

keep you from walking with 

Jesus today


***


You once were born again,

now you think that you're OK.

You once were born again,

Jesus has died, the price did pay.

You once were born again,

but that was years ago.

You once were born again,

now in clutches of sin

you cannot say no.


Repent, as Peter did,

when he wept so bitterly,

repent as Peter did -

be filled with the Spirit,

renewed and set free.


p.i.H.H


Love and blessings.

😊💖😘🤗🙏

P.S. I wrote these poems whilst reading a little book entitled, "The Deeper Christian Life" by Andrew Murray. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to leave the wilderness of carnal Christianity in order to enter the Promised Land.

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

Poems, Photos, and a Glimpse of my Garden.

  Poems, Photos and a Glimpse of my Garden Rest of soul and peace of mind are hard for you  and me to find: Until we rest our  hearts in God; strength will falter, days grow hard A new day to pray, to love and give, A new day to serve, to work and praise, A new day to soak in Your precious peace I wish I could go back to all the happy days: to hold on to those moments, and sing a song of praise. Love and kindness I would bring, and serve the Lord much more. I truly wish it could be done through an old and hidden door. But since I cannot go back, to those sweet and bygone days, I'll give to Jesus all my heart so He can change my un-nice ways *** Copyright: pencil in His Hand *** St John's creeper New growth. (Not sure whether they are flowers or veg.) Protecting my carrots Paprika Looks like a chilli A good showing of coriander and some other herb. Swiss chard doing nicely My books

Foxy's Christmas. A Christmas Story For Children And The Young At Heart

  Foxy's Christmas *** Dear Readers, I am just popping in quickly with a Christmas present for you and your children. If you don't have any young children, don't go away, as it is also for anyone who is young at heart! *** Foxy was proud to have been chosen to sit next to the row of books on Mom's bookshelf. From the bookshelf, he had a grand view of the room and of all who passed by, for Mom's room was at the centre of the house. Foxy had heard her call it a "thoroughfare" in an irritated tone. But Foxy was glad that he hadn't been placed in a quiet corner. From his lookout, he could listen to Lyddie and Ruby tell Mom all about their stories and games. He was admittedly, a bit jealous of two characters named Mr Mushroom and Giraffe, who both seemed to have many adventures. Foxy was not a store bought toy. Mom had lovingly made him from brown, black, and white wool. He had a little black nose, brown button eyes, and a print bow. If truth be told, he wa...
