No Enemies In Heaven

On By gaillovesgodIn 20211 Comment

Heaven, what a friend you are
To keep our enemies out,
To guard those pearly gates.
No place for fear and doubt.
Peace and godly rest
Are promises God has made.
He is the Sonshine
That will never fade.
He will not allow entrance
To any foe or enemy.
All will be rid of flesh,
Including me.
No more lingering threat.
No more unkind nightmares.
With our new glorified bodies,
No pain or burdens to bear.
We won’t even remember
All that we face now.
In our new haven above
Enemies are just not allowed.
Thank you, heaven, for being
A faithful place to long for.
Whether self or another,
Enemies will be no more.

Eternal Day of No Enemies

On By gaillovesgodIn 20211 Comment

Jealousy, envy, rage,
All create the fiercest enemies.
Foes that torture,
And bring you to your knees.
They carry hatred and vengeance,
And weapons to wound and kill.
They seek that one opportunity,
Because they will.
Deep inside each one of us
Is another wicked foe
Causing havoc in our mind,
And to those we love and know.
That old man is eaten up
In a flesh of sinful nature.
Without the Holy Ghost,
He can never spiritually mature.
God can be an enemy
To those who stand against Him,
To those who threaten His children,
Or would dare to harm them.
God can stop the evil, wicked, and ugly.
God can put to death.
God can stop the heart.
God can remove breath.
But He has created a place
Where no enemies are allowed.
All tongues will confess.
All knees will bow.
This eternal Day will come,
To know a peace like no other.
We’ll love and worship our God,
And finally love one another.
