Love Acts

Love
Came to earth as a baby,
Grew up an obedient boy,
Worked as a Carpenter,
Overcame all temptation,
Operated as a man in the power of the Holy Spirit,
Healed the sick,
Touched and cleansed the leper,
Cast out devils,
Raised the dead,
Opened blind eyes,
Opened deaf ears,
Blessed the children,
Fed thousands on a boy’s lunch,
Gave scathing rebuke
To conniving, religious mindsets,
Made whips of cords,
Drove out the moneychangers,
Forgave the sinner and
Said, ‘Go, sin no more.’

Love
Called the king a fox,
Walked on water,
Stilled the storm,
Paid His taxes,
Angered the Pharisees,
Taught Heaven’s truth,
Delegated authority,
Included Judas,
Prayed for us,
Suffered at the hands of man,
Gave up His life for us on a painful cross,
Was buried in a tomb,
Rose in victory over death on the third day,
Triumphed over satan’s works,
Ascended back into Heaven,
Sent the Holy Spirit,
Offered forgiveness to all,
Is coming to earth again!

Love lives forever!

We Weep

So fragile and helpless,
No voice protests
As tool advances.
He tries to avoid
What kills all his chances.
His tiny body
Can’t escape
No matter how hard
He twists and turns
In silent scream.
Then suddenly,
It’s done.
Snuffed out,
Dismissed
By a callous heart
And a wave of the hand.


Let the cry begin!
This is a sin!
How in God’s name
Can we not feel shame?
Do they not share blame?
God’s people divided
By political parties
With whom they have sided
When they should have united
With Truth?
Yes! 


For
Tiny nose that will never smell,
Tiny ears that will never hear,
Tiny feet that will never walk,
Tiny eyes that will never see,
Tiny arms that will never hug,
Tiny hands that will never be
Useful,
We weep.

Where’s justice for these
Most helpless of all?
Please turn and heed!
Stop the silent scream call.

Note:  I want to speak comfort and help to those mothers who have had an abortion, for whatever reason.  God forgives, and He heals. Turn to Him and ask forgiveness.  Perhaps the hardest part is forgiving yourself and the grief you now feel.  If you need inner healing, I invite you to contact Living Faith Church at 703-331-3820 and ask for Sally Tomko.

If you’re considering an abortion, don’t!  There are lines of couples waiting to adopt your little one if you are unable to care for him or her yourself.  God bless and heal you in the innermost part of your being – that place hidden to all but you and God.

Confronting the Conscience of a Nation

I don’t want to look—
Just go away!
Don’t show me the truth,
Don’t put on display
Those gruesome sights
That don’t make my day.

Don’t show me those parts
All bloody and torn,
What’s left of the babe
Who cannot be born.
You can’t blame me—
I’ve done no harm.

What?  You make the laws,
You Congress and Senate,
And you, Supreme Court,
Have your fingers in it!
Yes, you’re to blame,
To this very minute.

I don’t want to look.
It’s money, you see;
Big business and profit!
I care about ME.
Don’t ask me to vote
Or to referee.
If I don’t look,
Then I won’t see.
