I CAN DO THIS

 

I know I'm getting older,

and my strength has diminished.

One thing hasn't changed,

God's plan for me is not finished.

I have my limitations,

but I have this confidence.

What God calls me to do,

I have his assurance.

He gives me strength,

and his divine guidance.

I'm filled with the Holy Spirit,

so I can do this.

Doubts can fill my mind,

I'm not good enough.

What skills do I have,

that I can think of?

When I have these thoughts,

there's a reminder in the Bible.

It's God who equips me,

that's why I'm able.

So with each new task,

God works through me.

So I accomplish his plans,

that brings God the glory.

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.

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. 

DIRECTED BY THE LORD

 

There was this lady,

I had a pleasure to meet.

Who became my mentor,

at a prayer retreat.

I joined the group,

and she was my teacher.

I followed her lead,

and became a church member.

My Christian life began,

and my spiritual life grew.

Directed by the Lord,

and his help too.

By reading God's Word, 

I became a believer.

And with my commitment,

I became his follower.

When the church closed,

then it was clear.

There was a new path,

God would lead me there.

So here I am, 

I help out the elderly.

And I do this,

to bring God the glory.

IT'S THE WAY TO LIVE

 

Imagine how it would be,

if we put God's will first.

We follow God's way,

instead of our own interest.

When we choose to partake,

for the people's sake.

The things we do,

the impact we can make.

When we help one another,

and care for each other.

We do it with love,

there's no way better.

With passion and desire,

that comes from our soul.

The purpose to please God,

that should be our goal.

When we do all this,

we do it for the Lord.

It's the way to live,

that's what we were created for.

MY JOURNEY

 

Please help me in my journey,

to find out my calling.

I know you still love me,

there's a reason for my living.

Please help me in my work,

to do well in my task.

That you set before me,

with the help I ask.

Please help me in my mission,

to help those in need.

To share the good news,

so everyone can believe.

Please help me in my burden,

and each trial I must bear.

Give me the strength,

in time of despair.

Please help me to forgive,

an act that you can see.

So when my time comes,

you will forgive me.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

 

I live this day, with an open mind.

I wear a smile and show I'm kind.

I give some love and help them too.

I glorify the Lord, in all I do.

You count on me that is my goal.

It's in my heart and in my soul.

I want to help, every day I live.

I do my best, in what I give.

I live this life, to do my part.

So I reach out, with an open heart.

I make this promise that I'll be there.

To lend a hand and show I care.
