WHEN GOD IS INVOLVED

 

God has a purpose, 

for all his people.

God even has plans,

 for this elderly couple.

They have a weakness,

they have a disability.

They rely on God's power,

not their own ability.

God works through them,

so everyone can see.

They help many people,

that included me.

The impact they make,

by their words and action.

I witness first hand,

good things happen.

This experience reminds me,

God's point of view.

It's not if I can,

but what God can do.

When God is involved,

and we rely on him.

We can do the same,

like the couple did.

GOD IS OUR PROVIDER

 

When we're grief stricken,

and shed those tears.

It can consume us,

with worries and fears.

These times of uncertainty,

we are not alone.

God is with us, 

no matter where we go.

God is fully aware,

of our situation.

By our faith alone, 

we have this revelation.

We know God's Word,

when we pray again.

We wait for the Lord,

when it all begins.

We have this assurance,

his promises as a reminder.

He is Lord of all,

he is our provider.

With this joyful hope,

we may not know when.

But when it happens,

we thank God then. 

MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

 

My spiritual journey continues,

I know what to expect.

God has it all prepared, 

I know it's a fact.

For I am God's handiwork,

created in Christ Jesus.

To do good works,

so I'm ready to do this.

The task he gives me,

could be simple or complicated.

God promised to help me,

that keeps me motivated.

My actions and my words,

reflect on whom I serve.

So the people glorify God,

what they have seen and heard.

With this in mind,

and my focus on the Lord.

I pray to him,

and meditate on his Word.

And there's nine words,

I repeat every day.

It's according to God's will,

and done his way.

WHAT GOD PLANNED

 

Nothing can separate us,

from God's love.

But our sin he can't ignore,

our works is not enough.

So what God planned,

back in the beginning.

He's still working on us,

even when we're sinning.

We have this hope,

it's in God's Word.

The way to Salvation,

is through our Savior Lord.

He's patient with us,

not wanting anyone to perish.

He continues to reach out,

through his Son Jesus.

God showed his mercy, 

also his amazing grace.

The punishment we deserved,

Jesus took our place.

There's no way to earn it,

but it's a gift to us.

So we are forgiven,

the moment of our repentance. 

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE COMING

 

Brighter days are coming,

it's hard to foresee.

When there's pain and suffering,

that's in front of me.

There are death and destruction,

troubles all around us.

There's so much evil,

who can we trust.

There are many homeless,

and people who are hungry.

Families split apart,

when they can't agree.

The Bible reminds us,

the end is coming soon.

We do not lose heart,

and think we're doomed.

There will be peace,

the moment Jesus appears.

There will be no more death,

and no more tears.

He'll restore everything.

the way it should be.

Brighter days are coming,

it'll last for an eternity.

MY CHURCH EXPERIENCE

 

I head off to a place,

that has a cross on top.

Where a large crowd gathers,

this is where I stop.

It's a local church, 

I became a member.

We stand in our belief,

Jesus is our Savior.

Every time I go,

I receive a friendly greeting.

I've made many friends, 

I'm treated like family.

We worship our God,

with a heartfelt praise.

We glorify our Lord,

when we sing and pray.

We listen to our Pastor,

the sermon he preaches.

About the Good News,

and what Jesus teaches.

He quotes Bible verses,

from the New Testament.

He delivers a message,

of hope and encouragement.

This is my experience,

I share with you.

I pray that in your church,

you experience this too.

 

STORY OF CHRISTMAS

 

The story of Christmas begins,

with a huge announcement.

It's in the Gospel of Luke,

in the New Testament.

"Behold in a town of David,

a Savior has been born."

The news spread fast,

across every town.

The angel revealed this,

to the shepherds.

They decided to go,

after the message they heard.

So they hurried off,

to the city of Bethlehem.

They saw the baby Jesus,

just like the angel told them.

This was God's plan,

a pivotal moment in history.

The promise of a Messiah,

foretold in the prophecy.

It's the day we celebrate,

the birth of Jesus.

It's the greatest gift,

God gave to us.

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!
