Heavenly Reward
Wanda Hartley Butts  12/27/2008


Christ is God’s photograph of Love.
In his Word, we have His love-letters;
we catch the messages from them
in the quiet privacy of our heart.
Someday, we shall see Him for real,
with nothing separating us. When we
awake to that reality, we will be paid
for believing God’s communication.




The Enabler
--Wanda Hartley Butts


I am unqualified
to preach the gospel,
but the Holy Spirit is not:
He can take the things of God
and reveal them unto me
as I attempt to do
what He called me to.




The Perks of Prayer
Wanda Hartley Butts 2/19/2009

Prayer slides the clouds aside;
we see the ladder Jacob saw.
Faith and love begin the climb
to gain the blessings from above. 


Running on Ignorance
Wanda Hartley Butts 2/27/2009

Regret trails those who say,
“I don’t need to be taught what to do;
I will make up our own mind.”
How can a person make good choices,
if he/she refuses to learn their options?


Getting By Right
    --Wanda Hartley Butts 6/3/2005

In this life we may say
we are “just getting by,”
and it may be true, but
we each need to ensure
we are getting by right—
with Christ; since…
without Him we are…
nothing.

The Crown Of Love
Wanda Hartley Butts 4/27/2009

There  is a crown that last forever and forever.

Without it, the head is always empty,
and the heart is very cold and lonely.
But the ordinary dwelling is a palace with it,
Bringing  sunshine into the dreary day.

All the wealth of the world will not buy it,
and all the might of armies can not force it,
and all the hands that reach out of the dark
are powerless to pluck it from the soul.

It is not hidden in some guarded grave,
far from the grasp of common people.
It is not far above the bright blue sky
until there's no garland for little children.

Their mothers can rejoice in motherhood,
and their fathers can be faithful to contact
with Love and Light, the Covenant of the ages
where everything is a mockery without it.

Love is the crown of life, for God is Love,
and He that dwells in Love dwells in God,
and to be without His Light forever, that is hell,
that slips on the Light’s Crown of Thorns.
