Two Words Like No Other...

Watching something can often rock us emotionally
rather than devotionally,
but I am praying as I watch The Chosen series,
it renews humble awe, love and devotion to Jesus who loves us so!!




(imagine if, at the cry for help from fisher(s of) men,
 we would run to their aid like Zebedee and the other two
 at 6:29-6:30)

Two words test and prove
 every feeling, desire, motive and love...
(pondering Peter today...as well as all true disciples)

Two words like no other
Alters consequence
Test’s devotion’s ardor
With obedience

Transcends mortal merit
Rejects worldliness
Guided by the Spirit
Rather than the flesh

Blessing beyond measure
Love’s humility
With a promised treasure
Faith cannot yet see

As, with motive fervent
It counts all but loss
Save to be a servant
Carrying a cross

To give Him the glory
He who with His blood
Wrote redemption's story
 Jesus, Son of God

Two words, kind and tender
Probes utter need where
 Only full surrender
Can His calling bear

…two words like no other
Charge eternity
Pray, how will we answer
Two words;
Follow Me

Matt.16:24-26
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
