Poem Title:
Poem
The rough and rugged place. The rough and rugged place is meant to be a safe place. It’s a place where we go to pray and fellowship. It is the sanctuary of God; it promotes growth, so we should never stay away. A place where there is sometimes dismay, discord, and misunderstanding. Where broken people congregate to pray, sing, and testify of God's amazing grace. Christ alone must always be our focus here. It is a place where everyone is special and safe in His care. The rough and rugged place. It is like a hospital for sinners seeking grace, so let no one turn you off from obtaining His grace. But let's hold someone's hand as we take a stand to advance the master plan. We must begin to value everyone and take a united stand against Satan's distractions, who want to destroy God's plan by sowing discord among faithful Christians. The rough and rugged place. There is still no better place to unite our efforts in praise and celebration as we raise salvation's anthem. a place where we pray to become more like Christ, just as He intended for each man. The rough and rugged place. God dwells in this place, so we can behold Him face-to-face because of His saving grace provision. Let's stay connected to this rough and rugged place despite the ups and downs, the criticism, the backbiting, and the challenges we may face. The rough and rugged place. One may be scoffed at, ridiculed, or even neglected and made to think you don’t fit in, but stand strong in His strength and never be shaken. It’s a shelter, a Bethel, and a house of refuge because Christ is its foundation. The rough and rugged place can be the best and sweetest place, but sometimes it can be a bitter and unkind place. The rough and rugged place. A place where you can rest in God's arms because soon Jesus will come and take us to the promised land. So be faithful as you worship at the rough and rugged place called The Church. There is a rough and rugged place somewhere near you, so next time you are there, just be nice to someone, as we never know that they may be contemplating leaving the rough and rugged place because someone was mean or unkind in their interactions.
