LIVE TO LOVE...LOVE TO LIVE...THAT YOU MAY LOVE LIKE JESUS

May our love be not bound by the boundaries of skin color, financial status, hurt, bitterness, family or some other temporary restrain,
Our focus must remain on Christ our Redeemer, Savior, King, Comforter, our Greatest Example of love who gave Himself and bore our pain.

What do we live for as we awake and partake in each day that has been wrapped in grace by God as a gift for us to live and enjoy,
Bombarded by the devices of our wicked heart to distract, frustrate, hinder, discourage, and our day to search and destroy.

We must live to love others, not out of duty, but devotion, for we are love beyond what we can truly measure,
God has given us forgiveness, hope, faith, grace, strength, mercy, joy, and we are to be funnels to others of God's divine treasure.

Loving others like Jesus is very hard as we daily deal with disagreements, judgmental attitudes, and comparing ourselves to the outward appearance of man,
 Loving God, loving others as we love ourselves, serving, giving, caring, listening, and sharing the gospel is the true life and God's true Biblical plan.

We may struggle at times with living to love, loving to live that we may love like Jesus and truly make a difference in the lives of others in this world so temporary and dark,
It is times like these that we must stay the course, press on, seek the Lord daily, bow in prayer often, that we may daily on this earth leave a Christian mark.

Loving like Jesus is more than just the words that we utter in the moment, but the continuous actions of loving others even when we don't want to or it doesn't benefit you,
We must think and live Biblicaly day by day and being a funnel of God's love to those around us and faithfully live for Christ and do the things we should do.

.....Press On!
Do you love your family? Do you love your friends? Do you love your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you love those you work with? Do you love the strangers that walk by? May the Love we show today and everyday not just being in the words we use in how we talk to them but also in how we treat them. Love by listening, caring, giving, helping, encouraging, accepting, forgiving...loving when you need to feel loved. Loving when it is someone who has shut you out. Loving when the love is not returned. The Love we are able to show is only because of the Love of Christ and the love He showed by His work on the Cross. Keep pressing on today in Love!

A SEASON OF TIME

A Season of Time 

By: Tyararr J. Jones

Seasons of time quickly pass changing drastically upon our way,

Sprinkling upon us joy, sadness, ups and downs, and other mysteries to our day.

The duration of each season cannot be controlled by the temporal hands of man,

But directed by the will of God and carried out according to His eternal plan.

You may be experiencing a season that is trying and straining you to the core,

Press on and stay the course, for through Christ's strength and grace you can handle more.

Some seasons of time are enjoyable and we find them easy to embrace,

Others test us, prod us, change us, and put us properly in our place.

We may not be always ready for what circumstances our season of time may bring,

May we seek the Lord daily for wisdom and trust Him to orchestrate the tune our life should sing.

The face of each season may look familiar and sometimes a trial disguised as blessing,

We must embrace each season with grace and patience instead of with arms laced with stressing.

The posture of our hearts must be challenged to bow daily before the King,

He is the only one who truly orchestrates the seasons and what lessons to our life they bring.

I don't know what season is upon you or how long it will endure,

May your thoughts not become self-focused but focused on God's Word so rich and pure.

Stay the course faithfully seeking Christ in the midst of each season,

For God has a perfect plan and purpose and a divine reason. 

PRESS ON!!...........

What is your season right now? Maybe its: (You're a college freshman and facing all new things, You're a Senior in college and not sure what you're going to do next, You just got engaged, You just had your first child and uncertain of the future, You lost your job, Your heart has been broken, You have been hurt in ministry, You have lost your way on your journey of life,....maybe you are at a standstill and you really have not idea what to do. No matter what season you are enduring I pray that you will look to the Lord daily and press on. What we face and endure during this lifetime is temporary, but what we have to look forward to in Christ is Eternity in Heaven. If you have lost hope, trust the Lord. If you are afraid, frustrated, unsure, etc...Look to Christ who is always there. May you be refreshed and encouraged by reading this. All for His Glory!

IMPRINTS IN THE SAND

IMPRINTS IN THE SAND
By: Tyararr J. Jones

Is it too long for me to ask you to grow old with me and allow me to lead you hand in hand,
To love you, cherish you, listen to you, hold you, carry you when your footprints can no longer leave imprints in the sand? ....Bound by love.

I long for your face and love to be framed in every picture and canvas of my mind and beating heart,
I desire for you to be that priceless piece in my life's puzzle and in my life to always be a refreshing part. ....Bound by love.

To me you are a precious gem, a prized creation and special handiwork of God's divine plan,
As I pray for you, I ask God to help me to be to you a kind, faithful, honest, forgiving, disciplined, discerning, diligent and loving man. ....Bound by love.

O what joy you bring to me on this journey of life I daily tread,
Your name, your smile, your face, your voice, have a continual impression in my heart and in my head. ...Bound by love.

I hope you come to understand that how you are, what you do, the life music that you play,
Is the tune I long to be in my life, from this point on and every single day. ...Bound by love.

Time can not be controlled though I daily try to grasp it by the hand,
I stand as a man waiting to walk with you as we share this journey leaving our footprints in the sand. ...Bound by love.

GOD IS THERE

GOD IS THERE

By: Tyararr J. Jones

When the tune God has given you to dance to is not accepted by those you thought you could trust...God is there!

When the clouds of trial darken the bright start to your day...God is there!

When your face becomes weak because of the facade you wear as if everything is okay...God is there!

When friend becomes foe, stranger becomes friend, family becomes distant...God is there!

When strength has failed, zeal is depleted, and joy is gasping for an anchor...God is there!

When leadership is lacking, ignorance has a mouth and feet...God is there!

When your heart is broken, love betrayed, and your trust has no hand to hold...God is there!

When your prayers seem faint, your mind is not still and your pieace is lost...God is there!

When you have strayed from your faith, turned your back on what you know is right...God is there!

When you have been beaten down to your knees, the battle seems unbearable, and you fear whether to rise up one more time...God is there!

When you have been tossed aside, forgotten, overlooked, and you feel like no one cares...God is there!

When you have no hand to hold, no one to embrace, no one to whom you can sing...God is there!

When the rage inside seems hard to restrain, you have no more tolerance of the hurt and the pain...God is there!

When you wonder why you press on, why you should love the unlovable, care for those who have not cared for you, listen to others when you need the listening ear...God is there!

Before you utter the words, have the thought, express your feelings, experience what you endure...God was already there!!

.....PRESS ON!

HAND OF THE DAWN

HAND OF THE DAWN

    BY: Tyararr J. Jones

O Lord, take my hand and lead me on your glorious way,

My lips are silent, my heart cries out, stumbling on what to say.

Time beckons me daily, for its hands I cannot see,

Bind my heart and mind to the blessed hope of eternity.

Morning quickly changes to night, another day is swiftly at hand,

Help me to know your way like following Your footprints in the still sand.

O the Hand of the Dawn, O the Keeper of my way,

Quiet the rumblings of my thoughts, grant me peace that I may not sway.

Grant me strength in the moment, shield me from false promises of sin,

Knight me with a fierce passion for your glory, refresh me from within.

O God, may the fruit of our fellowship and my response to your constant voice,

Lead me to be the Godly man that applies your wisdom to daily choice.

O Hand of the Dawn, O the Keeper of my way,

As the battle rages from within and without, I wil ponder on you as my stay.

Onward on this journey, many hills and valleys I shall endure,

Fill my cup with Your truth, satisfy my taste on that which is pure.

May my feet move swiftly on the path covered with discernment and grace,

My eyes fixed securely on the joy of the day of finally seeing your face.

O Hand of the Dawn, O the Keeper of my way,

I stand here as yours, secure in your embrace; I shall press on till the final day.
