Persecution is common, For many Christians today. How many will meet Jesus ...

Shining angels in white opened a vile; Out came sweet incense and praise. Out came men's cries, like stars in the skies. With mouth opened, I stood so amazed. I beheld a great rainbow, a beaming; Surrounding the thrown of the Lord. Floating prayers of men, like fireflies; They sparkled like diamonds to the eyes. The Lord collected each one with love. Like precious jewels, He listened with care. Whisperings of prayers, so filled the air. A wind of love blew by, as He heard them cry. I witnessed the prayers of earthly men; Touch the very heart of our loving Lord. I watched the blowing wind of His lips; Send answers, to cries heard from the world. I ...

... Leave Regrets Behind While we travel this journey of life, Things may not always go as we planned; Problems arise and tend to stir up strife, We must pray and hold to God's hand. Trials and sufferings come and then go, Sometimes things said are not always kind; Sadness may come and cause tears to flow, We must leave all sad regrets behind.

Throughout the years and the ages Mighty men listened to You As You shared Your thoughts and Your secrets With those who were upright and true. Father, it is our desire To walk with You as they did; Of Your precepts we will never tire And we'll do as we are bid.~Belinda van Rensburg~[ by: Belinda van Rensburg, Copyright 2009 (lindievr @yahoo.com)-submitted by: Belinda van Rensburg] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved ...

... That Day When I arise to meet my King on that grand eternal day, my cares will all be left behind, all troubles passed away. My heart will be filled with total joy, my life on earth all done; I pray that I have pleased my Lord, and at least one crown have won.

Why is the life I live now so in vain ?" For gone was the happiness once he had known; Replaced was such heaviness -He uttered a groan." Where are You, my God? Oh, where have you gone? My loved ones have left me. How can I go on ?" To his ears, at that moment, came a loud piercing cry-The scream of an eagle, above, in the sky. Like lightning he streaked to the earth in a dive, Then soared up again, his capture -alive. The man watched in awe, this wonderful sight: He longed to be with him -that eagle in flight."

He knew her hopes, He knew her fears; He loved her laugh, He felt her tears. He wrote down every word she spoke, And heard her every prayer; He followed every step she took, Went with her everywhere. The pain she felt before her death Broke his strong heart in two; It grieved him when he saw her thus And nothing he could do. But when she breathed her final breath She saw his face so dear; She knew he'd been there all her life And now there was no fear. For in his hand she'd slip her own, And with him she would fly; His massive wings would ...

It makes a heart, start praising; And praying lips, to sing, While observing such perfect art; Created by our God and King. So take time, to smell the roses. Run cool grass, between your toes.

The strength and nourishment I get come through Him alone Dispensed with gentle care, to His very own He is my example as I walk my lonely way, Encounter trials and troubles causing me to pause and pray. As I converse with Him and He again with me The fears all flee and comfort comes, for faith has set me free. It is a rocky road we walk as each bears our cross But His foot prints give me guidance preventing any loss. When my steps grow slow and weary He bids me stop and rest, Refreshes me by waters clear, thus my soul is blessed. There is nothing to compare, among all the earthly treasures, To the joy ...

My eye soon falls upon a beautiful one, As beautiful as the bright morning sun, My heart starts to beat, my blood runs cold, This is the power of falling in love with a girl. I begin to think of her everyday, Praying to God that she'll come my way, I soon end up seeing reality, This girl that I like has a man already. My heart sinks, I feel very down, I feel like I'm in a sea and I'm about to drown, Just when I'm about to lose all my faith, A lovely voice speaks saying be cautious and wait. The voice that I heard was from my Father above, Because it was me that He loved and He loved, You're ...

... Velvet Shackles. He loves me, he loves me not. This childhood rhyme that I was taught. Comes back to me as to the ground. Daisy petals, cascade down. My trembling fingers pluck their leaves. And as they do my soul it grieves. Teardrops fall my heart is spent. Unanswered prayers, heaven sent. Velvet shackles; have me bound. These precious blossoms, once my crown. With carefree souls, I've not been blessed. No daisy chains to wear in jest.

With God we will find happiness, Even when our friends let us down; In the Lord we will find true peace, Never having to wear a frown. Knowing through faith, God always hears, When we keep Him deep in our heart; In His time, He answers all prayers, Just as He has right from the start. Not all trails will be straight and smooth, Still, they're lit by Heavenly light; From the Lord walking by our side, He keeps us safe both day and night. But, the choice is still up to us, Of whether we'll choose to obey; It's reflected in all we do, And in all of the things we say. A friendly smile, a thoughtful word, A soft, caressing, ...

290. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Always There. [Poems]
... Always There An empty inbox, A broken heart, A silent cell phone, A past that's dark. A stained glass window, A murmured prayer, Among the lonely, A sense of despair. Despair can turn to hope, And loneliness is broken, When Christ is the center of life, And our hearts are turned wide open. Past experience gone, Washed away and new, He has promised life, And he has promised it to you! A shadowed future, Of uncertain days. A terrible longing, That always stays. That urgent cry, That desperate call, When all else fails, Where do the pieces fall? They fall right into His hands, And again, He picks them up, When the urge to live is greater, Than the power to give up! He hears every time that you call, And your tears are not unseen, The future lies distant and grim, But He knows just what ...

If everything in sight looks hopeless, Try to find one spot, That doesn't look quite so dark It doesn't matter what! When there's no where to turn that you can see, It's time to look above. Our Lord will come into your heart And fill it with His love! Think and pray until you see, Just a glimmer of light. Then one by one toss the rest behind you, Until you make it bright!

... All About Mother If your life has meaning it's because of a mother's care. She often lifts you up to the Father as she talks to Him in prayer. A mother has a heart of gold and a special tender touch. She has that God kind of love that gives so very much. No one is as special as she so very bright is mother's light. She is a model for everyone on how to live upright. Mother walks a straight path of love and faithfulness. She is a model for her children because she does her very best.

... You Can Bet We Are! September 11, 2001 (Tuesday)-For all victims of the terrorism tragedy in the United States of America. We watch the devastation that has fallen on New York. We watch the clean up effort as a crane digs with its fork. Removing massive heaps of rubble with one thought in mind, Hoping, praying with each pile, survivors they will find. Men and women joining forces working round the clock, While the world still watches and their minds are still in shock. Such a show of bravery and working hand in hand, And creating the unity again throughout our land. Also in our capital another crushing blow, More lives lost and damage done by this unyielding foe. As we sit and watch the damage done to us for spite, We cry for those who lost their lives, but now we want to fight. The men and women working hard and all the faithful ones, ...

They say there's all kinds of help available, but there never seems enough. Does God really care that for some life is very tough? Where is this God of the Nations? Where is His tender care ?" We all ask ourselves these questions, when we come to Him in prayer. Only He knows all the answers. Life for some is hard and bare. They've lived without true faith, and God cannot share! Our missionaries travel around the world, trying to spread the Good News. Sometimes they are stopped and even hurt, for teaching Godly views! Yet His Word does go forth, around this rebellious globe.

A day when family sat around and talked about the day, A day when people actually sat down to eat and pray.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and lifted the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. The light of His face made me cover my head, it was Jesus returning just like He'd said. And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, I cried when I saw ...

Let's walk with Him to the temple, On that awful, blasphemous day; When Jesus taught them a lesson, That God s house was a place to pray. Maybe we can try the water, He so easily turned to wine; And shared with all the party guests, Christ made that wedding turn out fine. Walk beside Him into the fields, With the thousands who came to see; If Jesus was the Son of God, Come here to save both you and me.

Did he realize that he was but a link In the chain of events that were to take place? Was there sadness ...

I did not seek guidance And I failed to pray. I hid in the mountains And veered from His path. He searched and then found me But showed no great wrath. By pastures so green, He guided me home. I felt safe and secure, Feeling no need to roam. Instead, I sensed care, And I knew that my wool, Was far less protection Than a saved and cleansed soul. He fed and loved me.

While they prepare to crucify The bleeding Son of Man. Just last week I spoke of peace And everlasting love. Apparently to deafened ears And darkened skies above.

But yet, not as I will But as Thy will be done" And when pain shot through My heart, I knew My hour had come. A noisy crowd shatters the night, My heart begins to race. And then a traitor's lips, Plant a kiss upon My face. They scourged Me at a pillar, And whipped Me till I bled, But this was just a taste Of the agony ahead. ...

When we don't have time for Jesus, we follow the devil's rules. How quickly our Savior forgives, when we knock upon His door. He pardons, and invites us in, and we are His forevermore. He will gently lead and guide you, He will give you peace and rest. Communication is the real key, to being truly blessed. O Lord, You are my Guiding Light, You are my Refuge ...
409. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Gratitude. [Poems]
... Gratitude My heart is filled with gratitude for God's gifts in my life. They've brought joy to me in happy times and grieved with me in strife. When I look upon the faces of those I know and love. I say a grateful Thank You to you, Lord, up above. I learned in the beginning when my faith was still brand new, whenever doubts would fill my mind that I could turn to you. And through those prayers, you earned my trust, and now I have no fear. The path for me is now well lit; I can see Heaven from here.~Linda Gleason~Copyright 2009 [By: Linda Lee Gleason, Copyright 2009 (llgleason @bellsouth.net)-submitted by: Linda Gleason] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

If you think that God doesn't hear you Then that, is really a shame Not only does He hear every prayer you say; But He knows you, by your name. It does not matter just where you are When you call upon the Lord. He will be listening with a well-tuned ear And will understand every word. Be ready to listen to what He says, As He tells you what to do. For that will be your instructions Because the rest will be up to you. You should thank Him for His kindness, Because He was standing by. And not as you thought; He had turned away And would never, hear your cry. Even though you have made so many mistakes. He will not hold you to blame. For now, you are fully forgiven ...
... been done, I was left only with emptiness and strife. Then one day I finally came to my senses, Realizing my search had all been in vain, I was looking in all the wrong places, For the completeness I so longed to gain. Then I looked to my precious dear Savior, His nail pierced hands were outstretched towards mine, You see, the whole time He had patiently waited, For me to experience His presence divine. And as I prayed for my Lord's forgiveness, Finally knowing the great sacrifice He made, His perfect peace and love overwhelmed me, My great debt He so willingly paid. All my burdens were finally lifted, The search had now come to an end, The missing part of my life I discovered, Was the Son, our Heavenly Father did send.-Linda Lee Wolovich-[ by: Linda Lee Wolovich Copyright 2003 (llwolo @yahoo.com)-submitted by: Linda Lee Wolovich] ...

Trials come and press down on me, It's then I trust Jesus~He is my Anchor; Waves of trouble allow me to see, Jesus has Control so I can conquer.

Meatballs I shall add to the deal. They'll make an even better meal. My mother always said to add the veggies, but they make me mad. To top it off I'll put oil in the pan, I've heard olive oil will make it grand. I say a prayer, turn the knob, And a blue flame begins to throb. It's magic, that's why it's so blue, It'll make my tasty dinner stew. It starts to boil soon enough, And the bubbles make the oil rough.

... thought into each others ear, And heaven just smiled as they filled it with cheer. Little ones dressed in soft pink and blue, Downy soft wings with which they made do, Halos made up of rosebuds and greens, Even a few wearing flannel and jeans. I saw little cherubs swinging on stars, While others sat strumming on tiny guitars, Some chose to go on a fast comet ride, While using its tail as a heavenly slide. As wishes and prayers came up from below, They'd catch them and somehow let us all know, That as twinkling stars shine in the night, Sweet little angels are showing their might. Swinging and sliding and playing so hard, Yet keeping us safe in God's big backyard.

But a small voice inside says this is a phase In whatever the Lord means to be, So you pick up your load and move forward again, So your heart and mind will be free To handle whatever the future may hold; You pray that this time you won't fail, You feel God's kind hand on your shoulder And know, with His help, you'll prevail.

... Ode To Finals Week Twas the night before finals, and all through the college, The students were praying for last minute knowledge. Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds, While visions of essays danced in their heads. In my own apartment, I had been pacing, And dreaded exams I soon would be facing. My roommate was speechless, his nose in his books, And my comments to him drew unfriendly looks. I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot, No longer caring that my nerves were all shot. I stared at my notes, but my thoughts they were muddy, My eyes went a blur, I just couldn't study." Some pizza might help ," I said with a shiver, But each place I called refused to deliver. I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel, With futures depending on grades had in school. When all of a sudden, our door opened wide ...

You ve asked Me over and over," Why must I go through this again ?" I can only tell you my loving child, This was caused by worldly sin.

465. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Never Forget. [Poems]
... Never Forget This poem is based on the actual words of our Founding Fathers in July of 1776. Early to bed, and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. But, Ben resolved, On this historic day, Our efforts were worth my lost sleep, I must say. Night had long fallen; it was '76; There were tears and joy and prayer in a mix. No tongue could describe, no word could convey, The feelings those men had just felt on that day. They declared independence and now they were free; But there was a cost paid for liberty. John Adams, the chairman, stood up and he said, Men, this moment has doubled the worth of my head! Those fifty-six signers, those fifty-six men, For them life would never be normal again. They were lawyers and merchants; some owned plantations; They risked their own lives to begin a new ...

He spoke to me of man's great need-Forgiveness for our sin. But if we'd open wide our heart, Then Jesus would come in. I thought about what this friend said; Won'dring-could this be true? Then, on my knees, I prayed," Dear God, I want this life brand new" And in that instant Jesus came, Right straight into my heart. There, in His presence oh so real, I knew He'd not depart.

I pray each day that we may view The things that warm one's heart anew; The kindly deed that can't be bought That only from good are wrought, A burden lightened here and there, A brother lifted from despair, The aged ones freed from distress; The lame, the sick, brought happiness. Grant that before each sun has set We'll witness deeds we can't forget; A soothing hand to one in pain, A sacrifice for love-not gain; A word to ease the troubled mind Of one whom fate has dealt unkind. So, friend, my wish is that we may See good in all who pass our way. ...

... On Keeping in Touch Do your friends leave when troubles come Or do you simply pull away From those who've always loved you most? Because there's nothing they can say That will ease the pain and grief you feel As you go through every day; Fighting to simply stay afloat, You're too tired to even pray. You feel abandoned and forlorn As your problems continue to mount, So many things are going wrong That you really have lost count. At the very time you need your friends, Why do you pull into your shell? Is it to keep from hurting those you love, The ones who know you so well?

490. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- On My Honor. [Poems]
... On My Honor I am the daughter of a soldier. I treasure liberty, Because my father taught me That freedom is not free. For every right and privilege Someone has paid the cost In blood and sweat and tears And in lives we lost. Some heroes walk among us And defend us every day, While others trod on foreign soil Some thousand miles away. Each is a reminder Of the ones who've gone before, Remembered now in glory, In prayers and tales of war. And in case you've neglected To give them what they re due, Rise now and be counted For the Red, the White, the Blue. Old Glory's but a symbol Of the legacy we share. To keep her flying proud and strong, Americans must care. We must not sit in apathy And let our freedom die. We have to rise to action And boldly question, Why? In the past we've proven That Americans Can Do. Our ...

... A Philosophy Of Purpose I've had some time to contemplate, About the reason I am here; Many years to think about it, And quite a bit of time for prayer. Not just about my family, Though, of course, I do hold them dear; How I live life along the way, There is a purpose for being here. Caring about my fellow man, Gives me a reason for being; Creating a plan for myself, Enjoying the life that I'm living. I was born to make a difference, To those I meet along the way; Be it just one or a thousand, I'm careful to choose the words I say. Put here just to help another, Get through a life that's much unknown; Gaining knowledge along the trails, Making sure in my soul I've grown. I've learned to trust in God above, Through miracles He's given me; That I have a purpose in life, It is ...

We need to seek Him often, In a quiet place, And chat with Him like family, To find His cherished grace. He wants to hear our voices, Say," I love and trust you, Father God. Thank Him for His love and mercy, And smile instead of sob. He gets enormous pleasure, From our sincere prayer, When we treat like a real Father, He goes with us everywhere.

Never will a moment pass when my lips won't whisper a prayer, to God for those left in the wake-of emptiness and terror. Never will I take for granted the precious gift of life, stripped away one horrific day-our children, husbands, wives. Never will I fear those who cast their evil on our land, nor will I tremble in their presence-as my spirit takes a stand. Never wavering in their midst I raise my sword of faith-the Dove, who battles not with weapons-but with the power of Love. Never will the moment when the world cried a storm of tears, leave my heart, my soul my spirit-it's forever planted there. Never will that seed grow into evil, hate or devastation, I must water it with ...

And I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago. They came from every city Across this fertile land. That we might live in freedom. They lie here 'neath the sand. I felt a little guilty My sacrifice was small. I only lost a little time But these men lost their all. Now the services are over For this Memorial Day. To the names upon these crosses I just want to say, Thanks for what you've given No one could ask for more.

I walk through this time, with assurance that I'm a child of the King upon high. And no matter the trial, thru these tears I smile for my time too is drawing nigh.

I sank, dejected, to my knees -and to the Lord I prayed." I could really use a miracle, to fix the things that broke, To mend the battered friendships, to restore my shattered hopes, To heal my wounded ego -to patch my broken heart. It may not happen all at once -but a miracle's a start"" I could use a chance to redeem myself -to show I really care, And take the time to prove my worth to loved ones everywhere, I'd appreciate a little time to try to make amends, If things I've said or done this week have hurt my dearest friends."

A season of rest and refreshing sleep was all that I really required; When I awoke with His Name on my lips, He sent down His heavenly fire! I love to awake with a song; It's filling my heart with His praise; Restoring my soul in wondrous love as the anthems of worship I raise. And Jesus, receiving my song, is pleased when I sing love to Him; For He is the One who gave me the song when He loved me and carried my sin. The words, as I sing them, express my joy in Jesus, and how He came down. He brought forgiveness and freedom to me, and someday He'll give me a crown! He whispers His love at morning and noon, and ...

He may be testing our faith in Him, As we plod life's great highway, And we will learn great lessons, When we take the time to pray. No matter what the problems are, When we give them all to Him, God has all the right answers, And we get back our silly grin. When we help someone recover, We will find life's brighter side, And we will be rewarded some day, When in His eternity we abide.

Have you ever believed nobody cared, or sat alone with tears and were scared? Longing for a friend to share your fate, or just set and listen about your state. Have you ever been unhappy or very sad, unappreciated and feeling life is also bad? Or have a boss constantly on your case, screaming and yelling in your face. Have you ever thought your life a wreck, or dealt from the bottom of the deck? Like your life no longer glitters as a gem, and you know you are lost without Him. Have you ever heard Jesus ' calling voice, comforting and giving you a choice? A choice to weather these storms or fall, when He alone cares enough to call. Listen for His call descending ...

Everyone Needs Someone People need people and friends need friends And we all need love for a full life depends Not on vast riches or great acclaim, Not on success or on worldy fame, But just in knowing that someone cares And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-For only the knowledge that we're understood Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good, And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need When we" lock up our hearts" and fail to heed The outstretched hand reaching to find A kindred spirit whose heart and mind Are lonely and longing to somehow share Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware That life's completeness and richness depends On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

When we gathered in that place it was like a down home jubilee. We would sing, clap and pray and oh did we sing loud. It was only a few dozen people but it sounded like a crowd. People came to give God thanks and testify to each other. We were one big, happy family of Christian sisters and brothers. Then when church let out and the fellow-shipping was done. There was joy and laughter in the air that was shared by everyone. If only we could return again to the way church use to be. People s lives would ...

I said," I'll tell you my friend if you have a minute to spare" But they said they didn't, Guess they really didn't care. It makes me wonder. What they would have said If I had asked them for a prayer instead. People see the surface not the hurting that is deep inside, And we say we are fine when we had rather just go and hide. Fears go deep where hearts abide making sadness and smiles collide. By taking one step at a time we will get through this with reason and rhyme. I've learned a lot along the way. Now I stop and listen, at what people have to say. Because I know sadness grows when it cannot be expressed and puts the soul in deep distress.

Some can jump and others fly; Stretch their limbs or disappear-One spins and scales buildings sky-high; When they're needed they'll appear. They don't exist and can't compare To God's mighty men of old Who daily bent their knees in prayer And were truly brave and bold. The power that they had was real; God's Spirit worked through them-They were on fire; filled with zeal God's own anointed supermen. There is One much mightier still Than all those men of old; He came to do the Father's will And free us from sin s hold. There's nothing which He cannot do; The world is safe in Him-He can fix and make things new: He's Jesus Christ our King. ...

... the sun himself That somewhere something's due? What could it be? I ask For nothing at all seems right The waves of pain envelope me The day seems dark as night. Are those yellow hues I see Whose beauty I cant explain Is it an assurance perhaps That the sun will shine again? As if in answer through the tapestry Peeks the faintest trace of blue The pain and sorrow slowly recede For sweet hope springs anew. I bow my head, say a prayer of thanks I m sure I will see the morn For now I know without a doubt My soul endures, it will go on!~Judy Doyle~[ by: Judy Doyle, Copyright 2007-submitted by: Judy Doyle] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... . So other folks will want His gift, And turn their backs on hell. Other folks should see the joy, That Christ has given me. They should want to have it too, Especially since it's free. They should begin to ask me, What is it they must do. Just how it is they go about, Getting Jesus too. Then I get to tell them, This wondrous gift is free. It only takes a humble heart, A prayer on bended knee. Someday when I'm face to face, With the Lord who made me free. Will He see His own reflection, Or will He just see me.

... covers me, awake or asleep. And when burdens overwhelm me, and I lose all my hope. I hear His gentle whisper, and I know that I can cope. Like the constant lapping waves, Jesus reaches for His own. His healing touch refreshes, and I know that I'm never alone. Why does it take the dark clouds, to remind us of His loving care?. When in truth all we need to do, is breathe a thankful prayer. As I walk along that sandy shore, my heart begins to sing. I have a Savior, a dear Friend, and He's my everything!~Eva May Young~It gives me a warm feeling in my heart to write poetry. I am a" Golden Ager" shut-in and writing keeps my mind busy with something I've done ever since I was a child, and it's my way of sharing our LORD with who ever comes to visit. Thanks for reading ...

533. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- My Childhood. [Poems]
... I'm sure she felt she did her best, Though some felt she didn't care. At age ten, God came to take me home, Though I was dying, dad never gave any slack, But my mom sat by my bed and cried," Please, Lord, don't take her back". The doctors said there was no hope, She said the pain I cannot bear, With the thought of loosing my baby, But instantly, God answered her prayer. I always felt her love surrounding me Throughout the years that lay ahead. As a teen, when dad would come home drunk, She would say" Lets hide under the bed"." If we lay here for a little while, He'll pass out, then we can get up". Those memories will always affect me, It seemed nothing we did was enough. I remember the pain while lying there, Under the bed, silence as I peeped out ...

... , it's just that I don't know, what You would have me do. Our children face an awful world, if You don't soon return. To get the wisdom to teach and guide, we're willing Lord to learn. Some of us are listening, Lord, if we are only fed, with ways of making our world better, to face the time ahead. Help us to arm our children, with basic things of You, like Your Holy Word and prayer, so they'll know what to do. If we remain a few more years, upon Your beautiful Earth, help us, Lord, to let them know, the need for a brand new birth. I'm looking for You any day, it could be any hour. but, until You come, be ever near, and fill us with Your power.

... us all the way. When we think we can t get through the day and let despair set in, Just look above and ask for the help that He s always ready to send. Rather than placing our trust in God, we often think we can do it alone. This is just part of our human nature; the sin of pride as it is known. God loves us dearly and wants to help us; He s just a prayer away. Let s call upon His wonderful name; He ll get us through our day. I have had many days I thought I would never get through. But when I stopped and talked to God, He said," I m here for you" When I heard His tender voice, it gave me the strength I needed. My friends I m here to tell you, with God you can t be defeated.

... s to God that we should go. We need to humbly kneel to God, and pour out all our sorrow. Tell Him of our aching heart, and ask His help to face tomorrow. Tell Him our feelings of loneliness, and the failures we have seen. Tell Him of our struggles and fears, and confess we feel unclean. We, as Christians, are not exempt from the sins of daily living. So we need to talk with God in prayer, for He always is forgiving. He knows each sin that we commit, but He ll never hide His face. He loves us and He ll welcome us back to His throne of grace. If from our heart, we truly repent, God will instantly forgive. He knows that in this sinful world, a godly life is hard to live. By nature we are sinful people, and daily battles we ll always face. That s why ...

My Forgetter My forgetter's getting better But my rememberer is broke to you that may seem funny but, to me, that is no joke For when I'm" here" I'm wondering If I really should be" there" And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Oft times I walk into a room, Say" what am I here for ?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say" Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself," who the heck was that ?"

... He was there on base in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese came to call; a witness to death and destruction, he feared the country would fall. In those next few shocking hours, Americans fell to their knees and when the fire and smoke cleared, they took to the air and the seas. United in their righteousness, and sworn to right a wrong, our people pulled together and by acting as one, they were strong. With grit and determination and prayers throughout the land, the enemy was defeated because Americans took a stand. And for a while, we were at peace and soldiers rested well, even as they stood on guard, they knew that war was hell. Then once again, he sailed away to serve on the Philippine shore, then on to Japan and Korea, he was rarely at home any more. For many years he chose to serve both at peace and under fire, until he came to realize ...
540. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- My Faith. [Poems]
... My Faith I would like to talk with you, About a battle I'm going through. I don't blame anyone one but me, My faith is weak, you see. The reason my faith is so weak, I don't attend church every week. As for reading my bible everyday, I don't, I'm ashamed to say. Many times trials come my way, It seems like most everyday. I don't pray as the bible tells us, So I have no right to go and fuss. The good news I can tell you now, To the Lord I will humbly bow. His arms will be reaching for me, And His love, I will plainly see. If I continue living in His love, Soon I will be in Heaven above. This is a day I'm longing to see, Through eternity, with Jesus I'll be. Even though now my faith is weak, It may be strong come next week. By ...
541. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Proverbs 15:3. [Poems]
... Proverbs 15: 3 Lord God of all creation, The sun and moon and stars, Lord God of all the broken homes, The slum districts and bars. We cannot leave You in the church Or bribe You with a prayer, For Your eyes look into our hearts And they see everywhere. Your seeing eyes take in all things, You see inside our head: The insults left unspoken. The unkind words unsaid. With tears You watch us as we fight And lash out angrily, With cutting words we inflict scars, Forgetting that You see. Your grief-filled eyes strip bare our hearts, Our prejudice and pride, Our contempt for" the lowlier" That we hide deep inside. When will Your children wake up, When will we realize~There's no such thing as hidden sin. We can't escape Your eyes. I'll never cease to wonder That though You see us fall, Your eyes watch us in purest love, O ...
