Would You Do It For God?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

It may be
Hard to do
It may be
Hard for you

Would you tend?
But even then

It may be
Really tough
It may be
Really rough

But my dearest child
Would you do it for Me?
Be it mild or wild
Would you do it for Me?

My fears have not eased

To lighten my burden

Becomes much more certain

Where I'd need to surely face
The toughest of challenges
In the route of which I race

Ready to be forsaken
And to lose all for His sake

With the little faith I have
I commit my life to Him
Not to be left on the shelf
But bring all glory to Him

Or go as one

Or in groups
A day or two
Or in loops

Joyfully sharing

Sowed on good soil
Will then proceed
To bring Him joy

To greater heights
As you abide in
The Savior's plight

Are but vanity
Wickedness in each word
Lacking purity

Burnt up into ashes
Total futility

The path of life is
In the joy of God's presence
And at His right Hand
Are the eternal pleasures

Ever so green and fresh
Declaring God's glory

Lack or Abundance?

Lack or Abundance?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

A lack of gratefulness
Due to arrogance
A lack of gentleness
Due to bitterness

A lack of kindness
Due to selfishness
A lack of genuine faith
Due to a doubtful state

A lack of love
Due to lust
A lack of life
Due to strife

The key to true abundance
Is to abide in the Lord
Living in obedience 
Faithful to His Holy Word
