Seek the Pearl

Let him who seeks continue to seek until he finds.
When he finds, he will become astonished.
When he becomes astonished, he will be king.
And when he becomes king he will find rest.

The Attitude of Jesus

Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him a Name above every name, that every knee should bow in heaven and on earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father!

VAINGLORY

GLORY belongs to the Lord alone, only He can save.
Position and wealth, fortune and fame, to the flesh, makes us a slave.
How dare you think your stature secure, to place faith in flesh is vain,
assemble together to honor each other with frivolous adulated acclaim.
Idols and icons become the vessels exalted for ambition and skill,
bestowing our riches, admiration, and praise, without logic for every frill.
Those we turn into gods still go down to the grave,
though they be asleep in death we still give them the praise.
Continuing to worship their former estate, idols not even aware,
remaining faithful to a corpse, no longer able to care.
Objects of our grandiose affections, vainglory is their statuette,
TRUE GLORY belongs to the LORD ALONE, on bent knees we will see it yet!
{Isaiah 2:12-18} On that day the Lord of Hosts will move against the proud and haughty and bring them to the dust. All the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan shall bend low, and all the high mountains and hills, and every high tower and wall, and all the proud ocean ships and trim harbor craft--all shall be crushed before the Lord that day. All the glory of mankind will bow low; the pride of men will lie in the dust, and the LORD ALONE will be exalted.And all idols will be utterly abolished and destroyed.

Lord of Love

A wonderful man was born to right, those whose footings have left the light.
A humble, compassionate, King be sure,suffered with patience for our cure.
With blood and water in agony, He died our death to set us free.
He is the life we live in faith, He is the Truth, He is the Way.
The Teacher, the Master, High Priest, And Lamb, the Rock of Salvation, Redeemer of man.
Of homage and praise no one is more worthy, because of His Grace, we're given God's mercy.
The first of His brothers, He came down from above, with humble observance, He taught us love.
Wash each others feet, die if need be, this is the love Jesus taught to me.
Share all that you have, don't argue and fight, don't accuse one another, instead make it right!
Be patient and gentle, when in a dispute, love is the character no one can refute.
Our King now in Heaven, at the Father's Right Hand, came to show what is truly, God's will for man.
{Micah 6:8}He has showed you O'man what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
