STOP_ALL

I received this very lovely GRAPHIC in my E-mail from a friend, but do not know who made it {initials are KMRA on it}, so, if you know to whom it belongs, please let me know so I can give them credit for it, ok?

Or, if they want me to remove it, I will. It was a "fwd.-pass-it-on" with many names on the list.

It is very beautiful!

The following was with it:

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY~

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

'Happy' moments, 'Praise' God.

'Difficult 'moments, 'Seek' God.

'Quiet' moments, 'Worship' God.

'Painful' moments, 'Trust' God.

'Every moment', 'THANK' God!

I added the 'expressions'!

"STOP ALL ELSE!"

{Poem Book 6}

"STOP all else ~

until you are calm & quiet,

In My Presence be 'unruffled'

& stop all this riot!

For just one 'moment'

of 'ruffled' feelings expressed,

Can 'check' years of Blessings

& render you ~ 'use-less'!"

But how can we DO it ~

this TASK of 'absolute calm'?

Well ~my friend~ this way

will bring that 'healing' balm:

We must 'PRAISE' Him in the 'hard' times *

& in ALL things 'give THANKS', *

If we want our Lord

to 'overflow' our banks! *

The borders of our 'lives' ~

extended by God Himself, *

So we can 'reach out' to others *

instead of 'sitting' on a shelf!

* Hab.3:17-19 & Hos.14:2; I Thes.5:18;

Exod.34:24 & Hos.14:5-7; Hos.2:15;

Jer.17:7-8. 1/26/1999

Dear Ones:

Little did I realize how God had placed these 2 items together {the fwd.-Pass-it-on & the Poem I had picked out to use on this page} until I was typing my Poem on here!

He has been telling me FOR YEARS to PRAISE His Precious Name, even in the 'bad' times {not for them}, but I continued to grumble & complain at my situations so much He COULDN'T 'overflow' my borders {banks} with many others who NEED Him! For CHRIST wants to 'use' folks who 'Glorify' His Name & you know as well as I do, that our grumbling does NOT Glorify ANYONE! {Remember the 40 years God's people had to spend in the desert? None came out but 2 [Joshua & Caleb] of the original folks because of their endless complaining!}

Thanks,
