 Labor of Love                                                    by Danny C. Wash " To the woman He [God] said, ‘I will greatly  multiply your [Eve] pain in childbirth, in pain  you shall bring forth children...” Genesis 3:16 The childbirth labor of love was put upon Eve from above. Out of her labor pains of birth  the inhabitants of the earth were born into this domain. This curse of Eve’s birth pain was the result of her sin and was a forerunner and type of Christ’s passion & pain upon the cross as He was slain.  We were in Him by God’s favor and through His pain of labor, on the cross and His rejection, caused not by His sin but ours, we, as His body & church, were born as a new race by God’s direction onto this earth that Sunday morn in His resurrection after He was torn.

 The Obstacles of Life                                       By Danny C. Wash Forward thru the obstacles of life against the misfortunes we endure, so our battle cry into the strife may pierce the resistance as a knife in hope that our victory is sure. The enemy is our doubts and fears of failure and & the resulting pain but we must embrace the tears and learn from defeat to hold dear, as a lesson to possibly lead us to gain. What is the victory we desire? What is it you want to behold in your life to withstand the fire, that will test our work with its ire And will withstand it like gold. The finest prize we should seek, The ultimate reward to be sought can only be gained by being meek to come before our Lord as weak, trusting in His grace as we ought. The way to our Lord’s reward of “well done” is through death to our self-will & pride, by complete & utter dependence on the Son to accomplish His will in us when done, so we are resting in Him where we abide.

 Onward Through the Fog                                   By Danny C. Wash Onward, onward through the fog of life. On the road we walk the way is not always clear. It can be full of all kinds of woe and strife. Things that go bump in the night & cause us fear How can we know whether to go left or right? If we go this way it may lead us off a cliff to a fall. Will that road lead us out of the darkness of night or perhaps we will run headlong into a brick wall. What we need is a guide through this fog to safety. Then we see perhaps a beacon shining through to us. Is this someone who will lead us that we can trust? Forward we go straight toward this beacon of hope, But what if it’s the light of a train, I thought in distrust. The way is not clear so we must learn how to cope with these uncertainties doing our best to stay upright and learn how to walk carefully on life’s tightrope; Until the time we begin to walk by faith, not sight. Only One knows the sure way out of any coming wrath

  The Fire                                                           by Danny C. Wash “ F or no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work  will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each one’s work. If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only so as through fire ” 1Cor. 3:11-13 The fire burning, burning, burning bright turning into smoke & ash everything in sight. Burning, burning, burning both day and night. What will we do when it comes for us to inspect, Searching, selecting, seeking for what it can detect. The raging fire does as it will without permission in it’s appointed purpose and deadly mission to
