"THE CITY FOUR SQUARE!"
© 1997 by: Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 2}
The CITY itself is pure, transparent GOLD,
like glass. The WALL was made of JASPER
& was built on 12 layers of Foundation
Stones, inlaid with GEMS:
4 - Emerald 10 - Chrysoprase
5 - Sardonyx 11 - Jacinth
The 12 GATES were made of PEARLS - each
gate a 'single' Pearl! The MAIN STREET was
pure transparent GOLD, like glass.
GOD & THE LAMB (JESUS) are its Temple,
worshipped everywhere in The City. There
is no need for sun, moon or other light, for
God's Glory & The Glory of The Lamb
illuminate it. Its Gates NEVER close -
there is NO night. NOTHING EVIL will
be permitted in it - but ONLY THOSE
WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN
THE 'LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE'!
*
Is YOUR NAME written there?
Has Jesus washed YOUR sins away?
Has He cleansed your heart -
& made you whole?
IF NOT - then DON'T DELAY!
COME - TO JESUS - TODAY!
***
Are we a "Vessel of Honor" to God
A 'vessel' free of sin & sham?
Help us, Lord, REPENT & be cleansed
That we might serve The Great "I AM"!
***
God calls us, desiring us to be honest & obedient, free from greed; for
ONE DAY we shall go to a "City" full of great riches - IF we've been cleansed
& washed in the Blood of Jesus. This is why we must be free of greed in our
own lives & ONLY JESUS can free us of it & make of us a "Vessel of Honor" to
glorify His Name. We are ALL 'in process' of becoming what God has called us
to be, where He has 'planted' us in this world. Satan knows our weaknesses &
so does God, that is why He keeps us on our faces before Him, washing &
cleansing us daily (as we 'let' Him) of our dross. I am so thankful for
these & many other Scripures that He gives, for in myself, I can't & wouldn't
be able to SERVE Him anywhere I am without His help & overcoming Power & His
Light shining in on my life, revealing things in me that are not pleasing nor
lifting up & glorifying Him! Thanks, Pat 1/28/96
