Harriet Jones - Seeds of Love

This book is dedicated to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the Seed of Love.

Without God in my life, I could not produce anything of value. Because of the love of Christ, I can plant seeds of love and produce fruits of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control. God makes all things possible.

I am thankful to my family and church families (St. John Baptist Church; Homer, La and Mt. Superior Baptist Church: Homer, La) for prayers and support.

To all the readers of my book, I am grateful that you support a Christian cause. I love you all. Special thanks to TBN and Trilogy publishing team for making my vision of love come alive in book form. Thank you, Lord.

Giving honor to God who is the head of my life. I am pleased to introduce a new book of poetry entitled Seeds of Love.

Just as my first book 10 Ways to Survive a Valley Experience encouraged readers to continue believing in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so will this one. Seeds of Love is birthed out of the learn to love principle which I believe is the key to living a Christ centered overcoming life. We all need to be sowers of love, compassion, and kindness. As we represent love in a hateful world, we realize that all things worked together for good. If we love one another as Christ says love, then we will be a representation of the Love of God. When you look for perfect people to love, there is no one who can be found.

Jesus is the only perfect One because He is God in the flesh. In the bible times and currently people make mistakes, but God still uses us. Jesus is the only perfect one and we need Him and His help to produce good fruits. God waters our seeds of love that we plant into the lives of others and He gives the increase. To God be the Glory. Worship Him!

What does God want? What does God deserve? He wants us to worship Him for Who He is.

We are His creation and the sheep of His pasture and must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Worship comes from a heart that is purely seeking God for everything. Worship comes from a heart washed by the blood of Jesus.

Could this be possible? Could this be true? We do good works, but forget about for Who We can be doing something good, something great, and according to Gods will, Yet not be doing it for Him Many people do Gods will, but not for Him Many people do Gods will and do good deeds, but not for Gods glory Egos, self-motives, greedy for money, applauded by the people, blinded by popularity star-struck eyes and prideful in disguise Just too many hats, just too much to do Another different story and we are playing our parts But there is only 1 star in the show, 1 captain of the ship, and 1 pilot on the plane Two cannot be #1 at the same time God knows, many people do His will, but not for Him You did the good works, but didnt think about God You fed the hungry, ministered the gospel, sing and praise, gave to the church, fasted and prayed and all those things are very good But I examined your heart to see what I would find I wanted to know if you will still praise Me when no one is around? Will you still come if you are not the leading role in the show? Will you still serve if no one gave you thanks? Your heart is like a deceitful maze, You zig this way and zag that way, Please come back to Me! I am that I am, I am everything you need. Align your heart, thoughts, mind, and will with Mine. Let Me lead you, Let Me be your guide, Let Me be your King I say, Lord, you are right, You are my landlord, Fix me, Fix me, please.

You be my desire and let everything I do be for You. You are the Bright and Shining Star, I am just a reflection of Who You are. So, I bow myself down and give You the crown. Ill seek you first, And whatever I do, Ill do it for You!

Worship is acknowledgment of someone or something greater than ourselves My worship is reserved for God alone Those who worship Him must do it in spirit and in truth True worshippers give everything to God, All that they own. God created the world with the same hands that He made you and me Worship is a heart thing, With thanksgiving we thank Him For everything belongs to Him He lets us use His oxygen freely Worship is a holy thing, and its no false love We truly worship Jehovah because all of our help comes from up above Worship is a righteous thing God is always righteous and does whats right Worship is a valuable thing, because the devil wants to steal it So, dont ever worship anyone or anything Our worship belongs to God! God, I worship you with songs of praise God, I worship you with tithes and offerings God, I worship You with a pure heart God is good all the time His faithfulness is eternal and mercy is everlasting His truth shall stand from generations to generations God is worthy, mighty, sweet, and kind God is a good and generous Father to me I worship God, only Him With His stripes, I am healed With His heart, I am loved With His hands, I am fed And He supplies all my need Your love, your love is unchanging Your joy, your joy is lasting Your grace, your grace is amazing Your peace, your peace is perfect Your faith, your faith is unwavering So, we worship You So, we worship You, LORD With your Spirit, you give us power With your strength, you lift us up With your blood, you cleansed all our sins And we need your presence deep within So, we love You So, we love You, Lord When it rains, sometimes it pours and I cant see my way But when it rains, my God Reigns I praise Him anyway No matter what the weather in any kind of night or fight The battle is not yours, so give it to God, and let His Word be your guiding light Give Him your life, Give Him your time, Give Him the praise, Give Him the Honor He deserves I know it is not an easy battle, but you are going to win Therefore, submit yourself to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7 (New King James Version) Look up to God, Give Him your eyes and Hell give you His sight Trust in God when times are hard, cast your cares on Him When it rains, my God Reigns! Praise Him in the storm!
