For Timothy;

© Bob Barra, 4-6-06

Those who are so ready, are so sent;
Those who are listening, will so hear;
The submissive will be blessed;
The humble, exalted;
Those who seek first things,
Will find final things;

Make Him the first in your life;
And He will uphold you;
Protect you; keep you;

His gift to you is love;
Wrapped in conviction;
Bound with truth;
It is tied with salvation;

It contains all you will need for this life,
And the life beyond;
It completes you,
As a baby is complete from the womb;
All it needs is to be fed and washed;
So it will be with you;

Worry not of ability;
Instead pray for availability,
For it will take you further;
Beyond all you can fathom or dream;
It will confound your imagination,
And glorify Him;

Just be there..

    The special package handed down to us from the Father through Jesus! What incredible words you penned here. One thing I might change was the last line that maybe should say "Just be ready." For that goes along with availability. Just a suggestion! Thanks for sharing this with us, God bless! Noble1

    This had to be a work of the Holy Spirit, for it came to me immediate and was written before it was put down by my hand. I was simply the UPS (Under Providential Service) man. Give thanks to the One who wrote the message.

    Praise the Lord.

    Yes, that stanza is my favorite as well.

    God bless...

    Thanks, sis.

    Yeah, the third stanza rocks me! It is so very true. I can say that because I was just the amenuensis; the secretary.

    It's a good thing I don't have to do this on stone, LOL!

    BTW, Timothy was stunned; are you a prophet or something?

    Blessings to you.

    Having been the recipient of a poem written by you... I am SURE Timothy is overwhelmed!!!

    The third verse was AMAZING... I mean... I LOVED it... it was so.. oh I donna... fresh, exhilarating and uplifting! Not that the whole poem wasn't awesome... because it is... in fact.. I love the whole thing... but there's just something about that third verse...

    This is a totally encouraging poem... well done Bob dearest!!! May God richly bless you dear one! ~Melissa

    Whoa! Great blessing! I receive that, for me and mine.

    May the Lord richly bless you, beyond all you can think or imagine; and we poets can imagine much. Watch Him trump our ability.

    Watch Timothy fly!

    Thanks, friend. God bless you...

    Wonderful

    Amen! Great poem! Much is given, much is required!!! Yes, we must know that HE is and that HE is a rewarder of those that diligently seek HIM. LOVE is the most excellent way! It is through love that those who are true worshipers have the peace that passes all understanding. May the Father continue to bless and highly favor you and yours.

    Thank you!

    Awwwwwwwwww Bob When I came online and saw your last message and then saw the title of this poem, you can believe how overcome with joy I was. This is simply and absolutely amazing... I can't begin to tell you how much this means to me. I'm printing off a copy of this right now and am also letting my mom read it. I will truly treasure this the rest of my life. God has used to you to touch so many lives and I am so glad that God has blessed me by allowing me to be one of those people. As for the poem itself, I love the twist on your style with it... the line count isn't the same in all the stanzas and it's just different in so many ways... Again I will say it... thank you, Bob, for blessing me with this.
    --Tim
