I’d die for you “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” NIV John 15:13 I told her I wrote poetry With no walls, no floors, no ceiling Even wrote poems about creation sex To help a soul in healing. Rise up, she said, that’s sinful Don’t slip into that grime An evil spirit possesses you Go! Leave that slut behind. I ask you, Lady of the Cloth Would you die for her, today? The slut, you say, needing help With a little love, God’s way? I’d die for my husband, My son and daughter, too Christ already died for her When He died for me and you But for a slut who is evil Why should I die for her? Let her just rot in the hell she’s got Burn in Hell’s Fire for her desire. I looked into her fiery eyes Her face was turning red Yes, I said Christ died for her And died for me and you. That’s why I’d die for her, too. For Christ is in me, you see Yes, Lady of the Cloth And I’d gladly die for you, too. I’d die for you.

I don't know if I am Christlike enough to die for everyone but this is very nice. Joyce |

Well, Joyce, I'm 69 years old, retired, and have had a wonderful life with many fine memories. So any time that I could die for someone in Christ, I'd gladly do it. ![]() ((Joyce)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Yes those in the muck are the ones who need Christ the most. I know this feeling, I have it for my grandson,I had to come in and add that he is not in the muck, he is only six. I would die for him, and I would do anything that the Lord required of me. So perhaps I would die for one such as this, I do know I have helped people down in the muck. Alcoholics and such that no one would want to be around. But I see the soul. For some that is hard to do. I think it is rather a gift don't you Newell. After all, it is not us, not us that is so great, but The Christ who is in us. lovely poem. floria Floria "Alas for those that never sing, But die with all their music in them" (Oliver Wendell Holmes) [This message has been edited by strbbux (03-06-2002 11:16 AM).] |

Newell: Great messages here and I think it has meaning for all of us. I like to think there is good in most everyone, unless they are possessed. Sometimes you can see it in their eyes and know that there is someone there crying for help. Betty Lou Hebert |

Yes, floria. You know what I feel. When I love a freind, and I just immediately fall in love with anyone who wants to be my friend, I feel exactly this way, the way I feel for my grandsons and my daughters. It is a special deep, deep love feeling, that I just want to do and do and do for them. And this is the feeling I have for you and my other friends. Didn't use to feel this way, but I sure do now. Thanks for your kind words! ![]() ((floria)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Thank you, Betty. Whenever anyone calls on me for help I will be a friend. And I do not ever feel that I should ever judge them in any way. I just try to help them through giving my pure love to meet their needs. And this is almost always spiritually, rather than physically. And I do try to observe physical realities and protect myself physically. I try to use God's wisdom with knowledge to work around physical obstacles. And do try to conform to all laws of authority and rules of organizations. When I go to the nursing home, I am very careful about hand washing and touching certain places. And try to always work within the care in place, already there. I am not a wild maverick. But I do endeavor administer full love of Christ with patience and hope.

![]() (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Newell, I too claim to believe these thoughts so strongly too, I truly believe everyone has a soul and there are many who don't have the integrity or courage to approach Him and drown in their pity and if a loved one close to me was feeling that way, I too would always wish to die for that person! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, these are such powerful touching thoughts, you are a true guardian angel of words to us all and we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing! ![]() ![]() ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
