Baptized in Your Love

Baptized in Your Love

 

Making known

My love for Christ,

And the change within--

How He’s saved my life.

 

With me a long time,

You’ve been my hiding place--

My strong rock.

I’m steadily in Your grace.

 

Now I have come, Father,

I’ve been buried with Christ,

And raised to life anew,

Living in Your light.

 

Baptized in Your love,

For all to see the change You’ve made in me.

My life not my own,

But His who has set me free.

 

How grateful am I to Jesus--

To be a living witness

For You, O God,

My living Fortress.

 

I’ve always wanted to show--

Show outwardly what You’ve done…

Holy Spirit--with this soul of mine.

I’ve been baptized in Your love!

Yeah... You know...

Trinity... Father, Son... Holy ghost...

Can I ask you a simple, tiny, little question?

Do you accept and tolerate people with, different religions, different faiths, and beliefs, and... rituals?

Or do you believe... your god is the only one... and you are so right... and the others are so... wrong?

I do apologize. I know I can annoy... some times. But something in you... I do like.

Blessed be!

The Bible teaches there is only one God.... and there is only way to the Father and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ.

I'm aware... One book and nothing else.

Pages filled with words and sentences, and nothing else.

You believe it MUST be the WORD of THE ONLY GOD...

Nay... I say...

A book written by popes, and priests, and inquisitors, and other fanatics. Like the Prophets or saints or wathever.

Book are an can be good, when people don't bend and twist the words for their benefit.

And your "good book" A book, nothing else...

Your almighty poweful omnipresent, all knowing and seeing god...

Just another God... not even the best one...
A God... nothing else.

Your Jesus... reminds me off... Good books and
characters;

Snow-White, Cinderella, Pinochio, Red riding hood, Litte Mermaid, Alladin...

Fantasies... nothing else.

Your faith... hope... nothing else.

Your dogma... imposed beliefs, and laws...

Nothing else...

Your priests, bishops, pope...

Hollow men... wicked man... most.

Men... nothing else... nothing spiritual about them.

Yeshua? Or as you say... Jesus...

What a wonderful fantasy, and a beautiful... Lie.

And nothing else!!!

lol do you feel better getting that out?
Something in you must be seeking God. Why else would yoiu7 waste your time writing this out to me who you don't even know. But hey maybe we can be friends.... we may help each other. i'd love to be your friend..
Take care and God bless. Thank you for writing to me. :)

[The_Ancient_Rock]

lol Yes of course we can be friends. Thank you.

In a way I guess you're right, I do and try to seek God... just in my own way,

But it's my belief each and every one should find their own faith, and respect others different than us.

As long as they aren't sacrifing people and stuff...

lol

Take care. You're welcome.

Blessed be!!!

dearest Melinda... the Holy Spirit is always present... the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
For God so loved the World, He gave His only Son that we shall not Perish, but have Eternal Life. Amen...
The Lion and the Lamb will lie side by side. May Blessings be your Guide. tenderly, Pat

[Melinda McQueen]

Amen Thank you.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your title ignites the superiority that is reflected in your verse, so magnificently. It's quite an astounding read, Melinda.
