Only One Leaf Left To Do Right In God's Sight

By Rev. Lainie Dowell


What will God do with one lone leaf
left on a branch of a dead tree and hanging low
but unreachable and in plain view
for all to see?

That leaf flies high and out of reach.
But for all who stop to see --
it shall teach.

God has mercy on a leaf that flies high.
And to keep out of reach, it touches the sky.

For all the other leaves that had fallen from the branch
had reached out too far and fell into a deep trance.
They had come under the spell of the tree
that they thought to be bigger than Me.
For that tree was all they could see.

I sent a bird to fly up there
to let them know soon that tree would be bare.
Alas, they heard My bird give My Word
but they just did not care.

Then, when Mine own lips began to blow,
the leaves hung fast but they had to go.
One by one and then oh so many more
soon found themselves lying upon
the earth's floor.

Sure enough the tree was bare
except for one lone leaf that remained hanging there.

The branches marvelled and to their shame,
they boasted in themselves and blasphemed
Jesus name.

Once covered in splendor, they now stood
disrobed
to stand before God's glory.

And there also stood but one leaf alone
left hanging there to tell the story.

One leaf among many hanging upon a branch
one tree does not make.

For only God can take one leaf and
many branches awake.

The Rose Had A Thorn

Silent Whisperings . . . .

The girl had a rose.

It came from a lover.

He lived down the lane.

But, when He came to town,

He stopped to buy a rose.

One rose for one girl, the lover had with him.

And there in His hand, He came with one rose

again.

The rose had a thorn.

But it was not sharp.

The edge was blunt.

It did no harm.

No blood was shed.

All He had was the rose with a thorn.

All she had was the rose when He was gone.

And, when He left, was when the One thorn

pricked her breast.

Listen To The Wind, Children

Deep Meditations


Strolling Hearts of Song ~
Softly riding aloft in mid air.
Trolling streams of calmness there and everywhere.
Filtered clouds of glorious peace belong
To those with strolling hearts of song.

O Lord, Thou Alone Art Wise ~
Misty, teary emission falls.
Spilling over earthly horizons on to heavenly walls.
Wet eyes peering above heavenly skies -
Appealing to the Master, who alone is wise.
O Lord, Thou alone art wise!

Now be Ye Made Whole In Jesus's Name ~
Where once theirs was a wretched soul -
A grinded soul is now made whole.
With but one glance from God's eyes,
Sickness shrivels up, blows away, and dies.
Now be ye made whole in Jesus's name,
Who dries your weeping eyes of shame.

Listen to the Wind, children,
Wherever you may roam.
Let it be made known to one and all.
When you stop to listen and hear His call,
He will guide you safely home.

Message With A Heart Filled With God's Love!
Your every "effective, fervent prayer" does make a
big difference. So, keep on praying and believing God
for His miracles. For then shall your testimonials include
His confirmations. And this is made known to all to the
glory of our God who lives forever and forevermore. Amen.

Our God lives. He loves you. He cares for you.
He gives you this day. Hold on to it.
Use it wisely and well.

We can "git up!!!!!!!," because He got up and
brought us up with Him.

God bless all of you and yours in this
"Gittin' Up Morning" and in the "Great Gittin' Up
Morning" to Come.
