OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEF

 

There are many religions,

with different beliefs.

Which one do we choose,

which one do we believe?

Different doctrines can certainly,

stand in our way.

The right thing to do,

what does the Bible say?

Because what we hear,

it may not be true.

But inside the Bible,

it is the truth.

It's very important,

we read the Bible daily.

It's etched in our mind,

so we're not blind to see.

Christians should beware,

of false teaching.

We need God's help,

to discern his Word correctly.

The evil uses deception,

so we would sin.

We rely on God's Word,

our life depends on it.

BLOGGING WITH A PURPOSE

 

In March of 2011,

it was revealed to me.

God planned something new,

I was eager to see.

God's purpose for me,

was beyond what I expected.

But I was willing to do,

what God had planned.

God sent me a friend,

that would play a role.

She knew I wrote poetry,

but I didn't have a goal.

She encouraged me,

to pursue blogging.

I designed my website,

and that was the beginning.

Now fourteen years later,

I continue to blog today.

With every Christian poem,

I post it every Friday.

I thank God every time,

before I send it.

The words God inspired me,

for everyone to read it. 

HOW GREAT GOD IS

 

There's no one greater,

nor has the power.

What God can do,

like no other.

Look inside the Bible,

especially the beginning.

Read what he created,

when there was nothing.

Everything around us,

above and beyond.

And even ourselves,

what God has done.

Our God can do,

what's deemed impossible.

We dispel any doubt,

because God is able.

There's no obstacle,

not even the evil.

Can stop almighty God,

he will always prevail.

This is a good reminder,

what the Bible tells us.

So we always remember,

how great God is.

TRUTH DOES MATTER

 

The battle for our mind,

continues every day.

Friends and foes will come,

you hear what they say.

It may sound appealing,

but do we believe it?

We can be deceived,

at any given moment.

It may not be,

about a forbidden fruit.

But the choices we make,

our future can be ruined.

If we read God's Word,

we know what to do.

We see everything,

from God's point of view.

It's where we learn,

the standard of righteousness.

But if we ignore this,

it's clear it's disobedience.

So it's God's Word,

his truth does matter.

Deception leads us to sin,

we avoid the latter.

HIS PRAYER WAS ANSWERED

 

If you knew this man, 

you know he struggled.

With a skin disorder,

and the pain he suffered.

This left him isolated, 

with no one around.

Despite all his efforts,

no treatment was found.

He became distressed,

that consumed him every day.

Until one sleepless night,

he decided to pray.

God provided him relief,

his health was restored.

No more skin problem,

his prayer was answered.

What happened next,

was simply amazing.

He drew closer to God,

by prayer and Bible reading.

It didn't take long, 

people started to notice.

He seemed so happy, 

right in their presence.

He approached his life,

according to God's plan.

So everyone would see,

he became a new man.

It's time to reveal, 

who this happened to be.

This is the story,

when God healed me.

MY ANSWER IS YES

 

When God gives me a task,

and I say I can't.

I look at my weakness,

and not only that.

It seems impossible,

I play it in my head.

But if I don't try,

then my faith is dead.

Even if I feel,

 I am not qualified.

It's what God can do,

that I should try.

If I lack the skills,

it doesn't matter.

My willingness to obey,

is the factor.

It's God who works,

in all of us.

So we focus on,

how great God is.

The Lord has a plan,

for me to do this.

The task he's given me,

my answer is YES!

GREAT ARE YOU LORD

 

Everything has a purpose,

that you have created.

Every plan of yours,

will achieve what you desired.

Your Word is helpful,

to those who read it.

And whatever you do,

your ways are perfect.

You're full of compassion,

gracious and righteous.

You're rich in mercy,

and majestic in holiness.

Depth of your understanding,

it's hard to comprehend.

You're abounding in love,

that will never end.

Before the world began,

you already knew me.

Because of your grace,

you set me free.

Great are you Lord,

you're worthy of praise.

I will worship you,

rest of my days.

MY LETTER TO JESUS

 

You know Lord Jesus,

the trials I faced.

The sufferings I endured,

every time it took place.

You heard my prayers,

and seen my tears.

You helped me through,

all those years.

You know Lord Jesus,

anything I've hidden.

Everything I've done,

even when I sinned.

With this divine revelation,

I've since repented,

Thanks to you Lord,

I've been forgiven.

You know Lord Jesus,

I've been waiting so long.

To hear you say,

the words welcome home.

And someday soon,

I may not know when.

I'll be in your presence,

I'll wait till then. 

REMEMBER WHAT GOD SAID

 

If there's any disagreement,

how do we handle it?

Because tensions can build up,

a quarrel is imminent.

We're overcome with emotions,

and in return.

A bitter argument begins,

and a war of words.

There is a way,

that'll produce a solution.

It starts with self-control,

and with good intentions.

It may not be easy,

that's where God comes in.

God can help us,

through his Holy Spirit.

We turn to God,

and read his Word.

We're careful with our response,

we practice what we learned.

We pray about it,

and remember what God said.

We're commanded to love,

and make amends.

PRAYERS ARE NEEDED

 

My friend is very ill,

he nearly died.

The doctor informed him,

surgery is required.

There's no guarantees,

about the outcome.

There are no other options,

it has to be done.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE,

WHAT HE'S GOING THROUGH.

HOW CAN I HELP,

AFTER HEARING THE NEWS?

I KNOW THERE'S HOPE,

BECAUSE WHAT GOD CAN DO.

I PRAY FOR HIS HEALING,

PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM TOO?

I have another friend,

my next-door neighbor.

The doctor told her,

that she has cancer.

They'll give her treatment,

but there's no cure. 

These are hard times, 

for her to endure.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE,

WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH.

HOW CAN I HELP,

AFTER HEARING THE NEWS?

I KNOW THERE'S HOPE,

BECAUSE WHAT GOD CAN DO.

I PRAY FOR HER HEALING,

PLEASE PRAY FOR HER TOO?

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT GOD

 

We have a God,

that knows my history.

He knows my thoughts,

it's never a mystery.

God planned my life,

before the beginning.

He knew my sins,

but he still loves me.

Any problems I faced,

God had foreseen.

In his infinite ways,

he would intervene.

So whatever I encounter,

there's no need to worry.

If I rely on God,

then surely I'll see.

What God had promised,

the help I'll receive.

It's a matter of time,

if only I believe.

So God will do,

as he did back then.

Help is on the way,

the only question is when.

THIS IS MY COMMITMENT

 

You gave me this task,

it wasn't about my qualifications.

It's what you're able to do,

despite my limitations.

It's about my obedience,

and to follow your way.

I rely on your Word,

and continue to pray.

Here I am Lord,

for the work you choose.

For the plan you designed,

to spread the good news.

I have your assurance,

you're always present.

And with your help,

the people will repent.

I share my testimony,

so they will believe.

What you did for me,

they will also receive.

This is my commitment,

my goal to serve you.

For the very purpose,

you created me to do.

ONE TRUE GOD

 

The Bible is more than,

about heroes from long ago.

As fascinating the stories are,

there's more we should know.

About the one true God,

who helps his own people.

Those who are obedient,

while he defeats the evil.

God finds a way,

what others can't do.

The power he displays,

and performs miracles too.

The impossible becomes possible,

when God is involved.

The troubles is no problem,

God has it solved.

He restores the hearts,

of those who are broken.

And it all happens,

by words God had spoken.

It becomes evident,

God is not a spectator.

He is very active,

and he'll do even more.
