Are You The Kind Of Friend That Job Had?

Are You The Kind Of Friend That Job Had?

 Are you the kind of friend that Job had, when they couldn't understand;
Why such heartache and sickness fell his way; one unexpected day?
Are you the one to judge when you do not know the half of it, nor will;
While upon the one you have cast your judgment, is not mentioned when you pray?

So easy it is to think you know them ole so well;
As you wait nearby in hopes that they will utterly fail.
"Let's write a little poem and say a word or two;" You say.
Cause you do not believe them when they say,  "I'm not feeling well. "

Be very careful, you may not know, as much as you think you do;
Before you throw your darts of knowledge, with a heart of doubt, contempt.
When the one you judge may be learning something just before you do;
So they will have compassion when it's your turn to learn it too.

See, those little insinuations, those little hurtful taunts, could be;
Just what satan needs to cause someone already hurt more grief.
Without love you are nothing and your voice will not be heard;
Because you are just a noise without love, but so full of words.

 1 Corinthians 13:1 
Though I speak with the tongues of men
and of angels, and have not charity, I am 
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Job is pronounced Jobe
in the Bible


Job was sick and lost his family but never cursed God.
His friends felt he must had done something
wrong to be going through his suffering and great loss.
His friends added to his grief by casting judgement.

Oh Beautiful Heaven I’m Waiting

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

2009 Revised August 16th, 2011

Beautiful heaven waiting for me;

Oh home, prepared by my Jesus.

He awaits that great day, with much love ;

This sinful body to free us.

No more lame legs, deaf ears or blind eyes,

No war injured men or women.

All sickness, handicap, pain, disease;

We’ll find none, no, not in heaven.

No more memory of past mistakes;

Happiness, forever lasting.

Such perfect praising, on Him gazing;

Humbly bowing, crowns forth casting.

Hallelujahs, anthems, songs we’ll raise;

Poetry of praise we’ll recite.

To magnify our Awesome Lord;

All day long, but there’s no more night.

All the days or nights of suffering ;

That bring discouragement and grief,

Within our Saviors comforting arms;

We’ll find great peace, and such relief.

All the Memories of this painful world;

Will not be remembered anymore.

When we go to live with our Jesus;

In our new home forevermore.

Yes, there may be pain and hurting here;

But Remember, there's a better day.

When Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

Will gently wipe all tears away

Oh Beautiful heaven, I’m waiting;

While I serve our God faithfully,

And praising each day our Jesus;

God’s sweet Son, Who died for me.
