Repent, God Is Gracious and Forgiving

**Fenny West** Tue 18 Sep 2007, 12:45 pm

Repent, God is Gracious and forgiving
Return, the table is set; your seat is empty
Reach out and touch the hem of His garment
Receive to day, the free gift of life

Come in humility; on bended knees
Come in contrition and confession
Come, no matter how far or wrong you are.
Compassion, salvation is here for you.

Remove the filthy robe of self-righteousness
Remove the old life receive the New
Rend your heart and not your clothes
Run, I say run into the bosom of God!

9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Rom.10:9-10

12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
John 1:12

3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
John 3:3-5

20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Rev.3:20

7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1John1:9

Ps51

It is very important for us to do two things:

Confess that Jesus is our only LORD and Savior
To leave our old lives and be a new person in Jesus

God bless you and your family

Dear Fenny:

I have to make a request very humbly. Please do bless us with your poems and understanding of the scriptures with maximum of three poems a day. This way can concentrate on the poems and read them all. more than five poems a day makes it very difficult to read. Please do undersatnd that other people also write articles. It makes it impossible to read everything and then we are not able to learn new things. I hope and pray that you did not mind.

God bless you

Dear Dove

I am very sorry if I have overwhelmed you with many postings today.

As you may well know, this is a new section which is being furnished with life-giving and life changing poems. If you try to read everything at once, you could be overwhelmed. My advice is that you pace yourself and prayerfully read may be one poem daily, meditating on the truth in it and noting what the Lord is saying to you.

Don’t worry, it will not always be like that. I happen to have some time on my hands and would not be in a position to post as many soon.

It would be great to see other poems in this section so if you find a good poem you like and which is not copyright controlled, feel free to post it and bless us with it.

I hope I have addressed your concern appropriately.

Enjoy the blessing of the Lord: The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. .

( Prov10:22)

Thank you for that summary and contribution,waqar. You're quite right.

I agree with you Fenny, Although I am not a regular visitor but I open up topics that I want to read. I do not go through all the topics at once. But I think, dove can read one poem at a time and concentrate on whatever message is there and try to use it in her life too. I always do that.

dove Sat 22 Sep 2007, 12:14 am

You all got me wrong, what I suggested was that, all your poems are faith inspiring and I want to read them all.

I will try to keep up with the pace Fenny, don't mind, I just made a request and I believe that I am wrong in stopping you posting all these lovely poems.

God bless you Fenny.

Thank you, The Rock, for your understanding and wisdom. that is the way to do; steady and slow wins the race.

It is great to hear from you.

May the Lord enrich your soul and spirit as you feed on poems and other inspirational articles.

dove Sat 22 Sep 2007, 1:54 am

God bless you Fenny. I did not mean to be personal. I have concentration problem and I can concentrate on one thing at a time. Now I will read your one poem at a time. Laughing

Thank you for your poems and by the way, looking at your picture in the gallery, it seems as if you are a singer too. God has blessed you with many talents.

God bless

Like I indicated, Dove, I had some time on my hands and the need to furnish this new section, hence the multiple posting.

I now have less time and would be responding to comments on the poems. I have not stopped; just giving you some time to catch up. Let me know your progress.

God bless you richly.

**Fenny West** Sat 22 Sep 2007, 2:07 am

Don't worry, Dove, misunderstandings do happen. We can grow through them if we allow the Lord to be LORD in those situations.

Yes, singing is my passion. It keeps me going, even when I am going through the valley of the shadow of death.

May the peace of the Lord enfold and go before you.

Fenny
