A Spiritual Sub-division


Just suppose this sub-division
 Buys Christian living at its best.
Houses hold the nicest neighbors...
No one argues…none get stressed.


No one gossips …no one murmurs...
Sidewalks safe… streets are serene.
Everybody loves their neighbor...
No covetness or cruelty seen.


The busy boulevard is Faith...
Faith in God has built this block.
The one thing sure to please the Father...
He will answer Faith's first knock.


The next street over is called Hope...
Hope runs right smack into Faith.
Residents reach for the promise...
God still means what His Word saith.


And running parallel is Love...
Ah-h, Love portrays just who He is.
The Bible does say God is Love...
This essence is entirely His.


The next turn takes you onto Glory...
The humble occupy this street.
Pride is not permitted access...
All acculades lay at His feet.


Straight ahead's a street called Mercy
Many former addicts there.
Drunkards, gamblers, one time hookers...
All delivered from the snare.


Miracle's at the next stop light...
What an awesome avenue!
Many death escapee dwellings...
Many dreams known to come true.


Just around that second side street
Is one they have named Victory Drive.
Prosperity is just pior to it...
These neighborhoods were built to thrive.


It's a healthy, happy sub-division...
Much like what Heaven's gonna be.
I hear there is a move in special!
Please excuse me while I run to see.

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw
near to God must believethat he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Galations 5:5
For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

1 John 4:8
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Isaiah 42:8
I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.


1 Timothy 1:12-13
I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful,
appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent.
 But I received mercy becauseI had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

Hebrews 2:4
While God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts
of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will

1 John 5:4
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this
is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.


Joshua 1:8
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate
on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.
For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Hebrews 13:14
For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
