Guidance Pave paths of love and humility That lead to your feet – Through scorching deserts and bitter winters That I may become patient and meek. May my woes and tears Not be shed in vain, But used as food for your seed, Falling and nourishing like rain. If the road I’m on stops abruptly…

A Fire In Winter – A Christian Poem About Receiving Jesus
—
by
Often, we have a misunderstanding about accepting Jesus into our lives. We believe that we are not able to come to him until we have cleaned up our act. Maybe we’re not completely wanting to clean up our act; maybe we want to clean it up, but are scared; and maybe we just don’t know how…

Hate the Sin Love the Sinner – A Christian Poem
—
by
One of the hardest things to do as Christians is to uphold the truth of the Word, while at the same time not judging or condemning people. Comments like: “If they’re offended at what I say, they need to take it up with God because all I am doing is spreading his Word” seem to be an…

Love and Lust – A Poem
—
by
Love and Lust Love is an ancient art – A forgotten antiquity endangered And on the verge of extinction. We’ve traded real commitment For one night stands. A lifetime friend and partner For someone willing to let us use them To satisfy our demands. Love has become a carnival of lust, Where feelings control our…

Contemplation Slow down the orchestra of madnessRambling and roaring in your mind.Let go of the pride and angerYou’ve been holding onto,Waiting for the perfect opportunityTo lash it out,And tune your heart to the key of love.

God’s Promises – A Christian Poem

by
God’s Promises It is said faith can move mountains,So why are you still looking for a way around?In the desert the Lord will raise fountains,So why are you still worried water won’t be found? It is said “a faintly burning wick he will not quench”*A weak heart he will not break.So why are you shielding…

The Neglected Lover – A Love Poem About Self Love and Loving Yourself
—
by
Sometimes it is easy to love your neighbor, but much more difficult to have self love. Self loathing and self-hatred are real problems for some people. You would never treat others or hold them to the same standards as you do yourself, so why do you keep doing it? You’re just as deserving of love as…

Loving God in the Midst of Doubt
—
by
From a very early age, I’ve felt a strong connection to God in my heart beyond anything that was learned or indoctrinated into me. It is a intimacy that calls to me, whispers my name, and demands that I pay attention and find meaning in what is unfolding around me. But stubbornness and pride are…

Lovers and Friends – A Poem
—
by
Can we stop, start it over and reintroduce ourselves as friends? Let the past harden like cooled, charred lava embrace each other and make amends? Can we leave love’s story untold – leave the unwritten verses in our minds? Let indifference swallow them up and scatter them beneath the sands of time? Can former lovers…

Thanksgiving – An Endangered Day of Thanks and Praise
—
by
It is a tragedy that a day that was once remembered as a way to show gratitude and thanks, has turned into another way for businesses to make a quick buck and people to hunt down deals. Frankly, anyone who takes place in those activities should be ashamed of themselves. Thanksgiving is a day to…

We have sailed across the vast sea of love, Sojourning and searching across the endless waters For the ship we’ve been waiting for – And the One to carry us home. At last, I have found you, and you – I , Two shipwrecked sailors, brought together by the hand of the divine. A beacon…

The Woman I Used To Know
—
by
I don’t know whether to call you an old love or a new friend. But our memories together are still pulsing through my blood, and my heart feels there are still some loose ends. But I’m no longer blind to the barriers that stand tall between us. I know there must be new seed to…
