Weve a story to tell the nations that shall turn their hearts to the right, a story of love and
mercy, a story of peace and light. One I must deliver for its one that the master has sent to tell of
his grace and mercy and his undying love. Lest we ajforded another opportunity to say on this side
what the master has taught. As I move toward my stance in glory, I stopped by with greetings on
this blessed day from Marys Baby, Josephs stepson, Joshuas friend, Daniels way out of the lions
den, the Hebrew childrens fire stopper, Moses burning bush, Ezekiels wheel in the middle of a
wheel. Pilots conscience. Jobs way maker, Sauls name changer, the prodigal sons way back home.
Davids sling shot. He is my fathers Jesus. He is my mothers Jesus, my grandfathers leaning pole,
and my grandmothers walking stick to glory. He is my friend when I am friendless, my way maker,
my burden barrier, my heavy load carrier, my Rose of Sharon, my Lily of the Valley, my bright and
morning star, my comforter and guide, my heart fixer, my mind regulator, my way out of no way,
my bread when Im hungry, my water when Im thirsty, and hes even my Hell Bound chaser. Words
created and utilized by the passionate. God-fearing, Christ Believing and soul saving searcher.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his names sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou prepares! a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
