United is the key word that is ringing loud and clear, And we must stay united and not give in to our fear. Yes, the world is changing and we face a brand new day.

Today I cursed another race, Oh God protect what I debase; For now, I fear it is to late. Today I taught my child to hate.

15. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- God Cares. [Poems]
... to a safer place where enemies could not give chase-then in the pot plant in the shade one spotted little egg was laid. Onto the porch I daren't go to clean, to read, to knit or sew. For fear of frightening Momma dear I kept my distance; I steered clear and far away from chick and nest so that she could relax and rest. The long awaited day arrived and to make sure that it survived I prayed and asked our God ... High to undertake 'till it could fly; that He supply its every need until itself the chick could feed. Yesterday it left the nest feathered in its Sunday best; its mom seemed very agitated but pretty soon her fears abated; the fledgling spread its wings to fly and swept into the clear blue sky. The moral of my story's thus: God loves us and is good to us; He cares about things small and big including that one little chick hatched from an ...
... Hurt -to heal! I cried," Lord, use me !" He answered," Wait" Then came the hurt. Loneliness -I walked through desolation to share His fellowship. Doubt -I wept through despair to seek His faith. Fear -I wrestled through darkness to seize His freedom. And the Balm of Gilead flowed into the depths of my soul. It cleansed; it soothed; it healed. Again I cried," Lord, use me !"

She condemned his actions and total lack of ... . The more she scolded, the madder she got, Then stomped from his room, totally distraught! She headed for the den to confirm her fears. When she saw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears. The message she read pierced her soul with a dart. It said:" I love Mommy ," surrounded by a heart. Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it, With an empty picture frame hung to surround it. A reminder ...

... fool. I resist that which should not be resisted and I end up feeling life can be so cruel. I know better, yes I do and that is why I feel like a hypocrite when I express-these feelings of fear and not of faith. Is it a sign of my humble humanness? I don't know what path I should be on. This one, though sometimes painful, is where I am. No one said that life would be easy, ... ? If it is how do I stop the pain inside? Do I wish for things that just will never be? Have I put myself upon a painful ride? I know that faith is when I cast away, all the fears inside and give them all to Him. I don't know why I can't just let them go-and trust that He will fill the space within. I talk the talk as if I were a master. I walk the walk as ...

... My God Is Near As I stand in my garden, And gaze yonder to green hills, I hear the children's laughter, And a summer bird's sweet trill. Then comes a gentle whisper," Have no fear" And I know from deep within, My God is near! As I look up in early evening, I see the blazing skies, Turn into twinkling lights, And a golden moon arise. Again I hear the gentle whisper," Have no fear" And I know from deep within, My God is near! And when I wake up in the morning, With bright sunshine all around, And blue skies overhead. I feel I am walking on holy ground. Again I hear the gentle whisper," Have no fear" And I know from deep within My God is near! No matter where I travel, Along life's twisting trail, I drink in all this beauty, And it never seems to fail ...
... , You would help me find the answer just being a pal. When I had ideas and tried to get them all in order, You would stand behind me as my number one supporter. When I failed at something as I did once in a while, You always showed me what went wrong, but did it with a smile. As I write this letter and my time is drawing near, I think it is the first time I have ever felt this fear. It's not the fear of passing or departing from this life, The fear is I will be alone without my loving wife. So sweetheart as I face my fear of something that is new, Please remember sweetheart that I'm so in love with you. One day in the future we will meet up once again, And once again share precious love as it has always been. But for a little while I guess we have to separate, One must always lead the ...

... A Prayer for the Lost Deaf and blind, they cannot see, they cannot hear, they do not fear. Dead in sin, they're hell-ward bound, unforgiven, lost forever. It is far too much to bear to see others miss the Way; to know they don't believe or fear, that they've gone totally astray. If only they could see God's Truth; if only they would listen. If only they would turn around so that Christ could save them. Holy Spirit, help them see, open their hearts and ears. Please Lord Jesus, set them free and teach them how to fear.~Belinda van Rensburg~[ by: Belinda van Rensburg, Copyright 2008 (lindievr @yahoo.com)-submitted by: Belinda van Rensburg] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

Why do you leave me here alone? I fear I may be lost" God smiled and spoke these simple words," Peace my child, just be still; I'm the God of the raging sea, The waves obey my will"" Hook your anchor onto 'The Rock ' That holds your vessel sure. No evil can alarm you child, I'll keep your life secure"" No harm will touch you if you trust And place your faith in me; Your storm-tossed ship will once again Sail on a tranquil sea ...

... Coach Wooden The years have left their imprint On my hands and on my face. Erect no longer is my walk And slower is my pace. But there is no fear within my heart Because I'm growing old I only wish I had more time To better serve my Lord. When I've gone to Him in prayer He has brought me inner peace And soon my cares and worries And other problems cease. He has helped in so many ways, He has never let me down, Why should I fear the future When soon I could be near His crown. Though I know down here my time is short There is endless time up there And He will forgive and keep me Forever in His loving care. May I not waste an hour That's left to glorify the Name Of the One Who died, that we might live And for our sins, took all the blame.~Coach John R. Wooden, 1910-2010~[ by: ...

... New Year's Race Lord, I've run so fast in this past year Trying to do my best, but fear It hasn't been quite as good, As I wish it could or should. In 1 Corinthians, chapter nine, I read about running this race of mine. How I'm running hard for the eternal reward, A prize that won't tarnish strikes a chord. If those around me run for a prize that won't last, Then shouldn't I pursue one that will cast Everlasting results at Your feet, When one day at last our eyes will meet? Help me Lord with discipline to run, So one day I'll hear," Your job is well done" Keep me in Your Word each day, Going there to find my way. Give me a heart for those who know not That for them, You gave a gift that was bought With Your shed blood on Calvary, So that one day they could be set free. ...

Into the hands of sinful men the Son of Man was given He was crucified, dead, but now He is risen!

35. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- The Heart. [Poems]
... How many times it has crossed my mind, I've wished I could be just like her, Soft and sweet, and dressed so neat, A prettier person is hard to find. She never seems to get upset, Or rush from here to there, Her manners are so perfect, Why can't I be so fair? But then the Holy Spirit whispers, And when I pay attention I hear," You are looking at the outside, Inside she's filled with fear". I couldn't help the broad smile, That brightened up my face, Because inside of me, All fear has been erased. When I asked Jesus to be my King, I gave my life into His hands, I trusted Him completely, All my problems to withstand. It doesn't matter what I wear, Or how I cut or comb my hair, It only matters who I trust, And how much I really care.~Eva May Young~" ...
... " What do you see ?" and I watched the children play. I said," They are happy and full of joy, on this beautiful, sunny day" The Lord smiled down at me, and took me by the hand. He led me to a street, where I saw a homeless man. He asked," What do you feel ?" and I thought I saw a tear, run down the Lord's gentle face, as the stranger sat in fear. I said," I see a man, who has no place to live. He's hungry and he's scared. That's no way to live" And again, He took my hand, and He led me to my home, where He'd found me from the start, when I was crying all alone. He asked," Why were you crying ?" And I didn't know what to say. For He'd shown me beauty and life, that I'd been blind to ...

... New Life Lord, I didn't hear the Angels sing. Or music from Heaven that day. Yet I know You were very close, While in that bed I lay! Now when my fears surface, And I know that they will. I'll remind myself of that close time, And bid my fears be still. For that sure showed me That life is only a breath away. That with just a thought from You, I would have been in Heaven that day! I guess You weren't ready for me just then, For some reason now unknown. Maybe there are more seeds to plant, That so far have gone unsown. Help me Lord to live my life, The way You would have me do.

... My and Me My mind seems to have rendered all power As I strain for His high Tower-My thoughts too often get in the way Of what I'm trying to say. There was a time when my senses clicked Now it's seems easier to quit-Before I can hope to take up a task The thought necessitates rest. I tell the Lord and beg for His Help I fear I'm obsessed with self-My words seem to be all I can grasp Before they fall into the past. Then I stare at my windows and walls As they emit an eerie pall-I ask Him to salvage both of us If not Him who can I trust? My bed has become my nesting place My whole life is a disgrace-Most of what I salvage falls within Be it brain or Satan's whim. I used to plan all my days and hours Now just the thought makes me tired-I fear heaven has no place for me ...

We have many days filled with joy. Then just as many days of despair. We are often telling someone, It just doesn't seem to be fair! Just keep going and do your best, to cheer up and calm your fears. For joy will come in the morning, When Jesus comes-that's after the tears! Live for the Lord and be joyful While here on this earth we stay. Jesus will come some glad morning to lift us up and take us away! We'll live in that beautiful city where the streets are paved with gold. There it's fully lighted by His Glory. It's beauty has never been told! In that place there'll only be joy. No sorrow or pain or ...
... A Soldier's Call To Arms All night long, the battle raged til dawn broke in the east. Then all at once the sounds of war would taper off and cease. The soldier, with his comrades, grew weary and afraid. By day, he read his Bible, and By night, he crouched and prayed. Verses read and memorized Brought peace and fears relieved; By Precious Blood, his fate secured The moment he believed. One night, the fight intensified, And he was left alone; Separated from his troops, Not knowing where they'd gone. In panic now, he bolted Deep into the trees, Praying to be reunited Before the enemy sees. Minutes turn to hours As night turns into day. Tired, now exhausted, He cannot find his way. He moves with caution to the front; His rifle at the ready. Nerves on edge, should need arise, He prays his aim will be steady. ...
... sacrificed him on that tree. A man of greater love has never walked this earth. He healed people of their diseases, cured a man blind from birth. He performed many miracles about which we have read. He changed water in to wine, and even raised the dead. Jesus was still God, full of power and might. But he was also fully human, and so he had a fight. He felt our feelings, our joy, sadness and fear: he can fully understand each emotion, or each tear. As he prayed in the garden, his tears began to run. Yet through his fear and anguish, he said," Let Thy will be done !" He was led to Golgotha, carrying his cross upon his back. His flesh hung in ribbons, from each of the wip's fierce whacks. The hammer rang out, driving nails in to his hands and feet. And with the sharpest of spikes, ...
... This Moment in Time The Past is frozen; it no longer flows; What's already happened, everyone knows. It's gone; it's solid-it cannot be changed; For better of worse it can't be exchanged. The Future's obscure; it has yet to come; A time of concern and fear for some; Looked forward to with ambition or lust-Much better to leave it with God in trust. The Present's lit up with eternal rays; Today is indeed the best of days. Love looks to this moment; the now and the here; The time when our Father is present and near. We should look with gratitude to the past, Having borne righteous fruit that will last; Our future hopes; our dreams and our plans Can be left in the Father's good hands. Right now; today; this moment in time We need reach out and touch the Divine; To honor the Lord; to cling to our King ...

Do you think no one else has felt that way And that all the others are having a great day? What you're thinking may be true, But chances are, others are feeling just like you. Ask God to undertake for you, To show you what He'd have you do. There may be someone you should touch, Someone who needs you very much. God has a reason for you being here And He can overcome your fear. Go to Him, boldly, in Christ's name. He'll take away your guilt and shame. He'll lead you into the bright sunshine And show to you His will divine. Just follow Him with what you know. He'll teach you more and with you go. You can ...
... God Speaks Quietly Have you ever heard a quiet voice deep down within your being, A voice so soft, still, and calm, it stops and sends fear fleeing? It comes in times of trouble, when things appear most grim. Other times it comes for no other reason than to let us know it comes from Him. God tells us things so simply stated, it's hard to misunderstand. Yet the things He speaks go against the flesh, but exposes His loving hand. He sometimes gives us answers, for which we desperately seek. Other times, He gives the words He wants us to earnestly speak. Have you ever been utterly confused not knowing which way to go, Then suddenly the choice becomes so clear, you wonder how you didn't know? Has there ever arisen a crisis, leaving you anxious with an unresolved need; Only to have things suddenly go into reverse and from the crisis you're freed? Not only ...
47. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Just a Cop. [Poems]
... No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough. But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't .I'll understand. There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment ...

Hey! A quarry worth my taking !" He snuck up close and crouched down low, A frozen statue, unseen foe, His Tabby tail snapped to and fro, His haunches started shaking! An unsuspecting squirrel drew near, A perfect prey that felt no fear, The time was Now, the place was Here, A victim worth pursuing. With swiftest grace, Rod took his stance, Leapt in the air, his one big chance, Landed on squirrel, and then a dance Incredible for viewing. The squirrel pulled left and Rod pulled right, The squirrel tap-danced, but Rod held tight, Rod squeezed that squirrel with all his might, But Rod was way too tiny. The squirrel was bigger, by a bunch, ...

... side, So when the bus would get in sight, she quickly stepped aside. She goes on through the album like a trip down through the years, And as she goes from page to page her eyes start forming tears. All through his life she stood by him in everything he tried, Until he could do it alone and then she stepped aside. But even though she stepped aside she was always near, With a mother's worried heart and with a mother's fear. Knowing that a day would come when life would have a plan, For her little boy who now has grown to be a man. She closes up the album and looks at the fireplace, She sees his picture on the mantle with his smiling face.

But look into these eyes so sad and feel her many woes. He's gone and he's not coming back and I tell you she knows. She knows she's lost her dearest friend and knows why we're here. And she knows she's been left alone and she is feeling fear. I know you think she's just a dog and cannot feel the pain, So please just let me take her home so she can start again. She looked me in the eyes and barked as if she understood, And wagged her tail and licked my hand and made me feel so good.

... Sammi-girl She sits upon a windowsill surveying all that's hers, her needs supplied, her life is good she watches and she purrs. Time was, a small black kitten, she was wild as she could be, she'd spy on us from darkened woods or high up in a tree. She'd make herself invisible until the cloak of night, she'd slowly creep up to the house preparing to take flight. The snacks that we put out for her would overcome her fear, she'd eat while watching nervously to make sure none came near. And as the weeks and months went by she felt herself grow tame, she let the humans touch her and she liked her given name. One day when snow was on the ground and ice covered the trees, the humans called and called for her afraid that she might freeze. And Sammi-girl, with all the trust her courage could provide, allowed the man to pick her up and carry her inside ...

To banish pain, To cheer the world, To see the flag, Of Truth unfurled Till every soul Is made to see And know its own Divinity; To realize That in each land All strife shall cease And love shall stand Proclaiming peace Upon the air Thru all the years-This is my prayer.

... My Pathway I was walking in miserable darkness, Trying to find my way. When there came a light from above, As I knelt down to pray. Jesus came and took away the agony, of loneliness and fear. He spoke quietly to my heart," Don't worry, my child! I am here !" I felt a shaft of light, blaze deeply within. And I knew instantly, I'd been set free from my sin. What joy bubbled within my heart, Someone really loved me at last!. Now I could live for the future, And forget my sorry past! Now I see my pathway clearly, There's no room for envy or hate. Only sunshine in all my troubles, As with Christ I affiliate! I've been rescued from the old life, My future has been fortold. And as God is my Royal Witness, Jesus ' love continues to unfold!

But as I sit and watch this mixture of sadness and cheer, I think they should have had this party while he was still here. He would have been so happy to know all these people came, Friends and family gathering together in his name. It makes me stop and wonder if it would create some fear, If a wake was pre-announced while someone was still here. Then you could see all of your friends and join in all the fun, And tell them when it really happens they don't have to come. Then on the day you do depart just have a notice sent, Thanking them for paying their respects before you went. You can now be laid to rest the duty has been done, And tell them how much you enjoyed just seeing everyone. [by James ...
... Precious Gold Whoever coined that popular phrase, Describing the Golden Years, Must have been really blessed, With few worries or fears. Yet those who suffer the most," Hang in there" through the years, We tolerate the pain and distress, And seldom submit to tears. As we grow older we get bolder, We don't give in to gloomy days. We try to see the sunny side, And for that we give God the praise. Our days may seem sad and dreary, But behind each dismal cloud, The sun is shining brightly, And old folks laugh aloud! We've all been tried and tested, Our faith is strong and true, And when we try to understand it all, God always sees us through! The gold in those golden years, Still shines for you and me. For Jesus is that precious Gold, And He is our only destiny! He gives us strength and purpose, His comfort's ...

I often take a detour Down some winding, dusty road Where trouble seems to find me, Thereby adding to my load. Along the path I tremble And cry out to You in fear. Instantly You rescue me And dry up every tear. I am forever grateful That You don't turn me away. I vow that I will follow You Until my dying day.

Your strength is ever with me And Your word is always true. And so, I'll keep on walking Through the sunshine and the rain, Trusting that Your sweet love Will lead me home again.~Linda ...

Your mother's heart watched over me, As I grew these many years, And during my trials and troubles You bathed my path with tears. You helped me to adulthood grow With values I hold dear; And taught me how to face my doubts, And overcome my fears. Our life has been so closely knit And to each other tied, By the bond of a mother's wonderful love That would not be denied. Now you have gone to be with Jesus, The Christ whom we both love. My heart already misses you As you worship up above. But I thank my God for giving us The love that we both share; And for the comfort that you know While praising Him up there. I thank you for the time we spent Together you and I And one day I will come to ...

I can't tell you how much I miss them all And want them to come back. But even stronger than those feelings Of wanting them with me, Are the ones of pride, because I know They're helping us stay free. It's true, I fear their safety, Wish I knew they were okay. But worrying doesn't help. I've chosen now to pray. As each new day approaches And when the moon I've seen, I pray for them at these times And all the hours in between. So I'm trusting God to watch them In everything they do. And I know that all these loved ones Are trusting in Him, too. And in my frequent prayers I'm always sure to say: God bless every soldier, ...

In a friendship We're free to expose, Parts of ourselves Nobody else knows. The thing that sustains it, And sets it apart, Is not something spoken, It's a bond of the heart.

His hands were outstretched as this One bid me come; The work of redemption forever done. I stood there in silence, in humble awe, As the Reason of Easter I now clearly saw. Then quickly as the scenes had appeared, They faded -I felt not one moment of fear. I bowed low in worship; earth's sight now so dim; I had seen Easter's meaning; I had been there with Him. As I saw Him, with faith's eyes, lifted above, The night before Easter was filled with pure love. And I heard him exclaim as He rose out of sight," A Blessed Easter to all! I have conquered your night !" NOTE: This Easter parody, ficticious in nature, is based on the true, Biblical ...

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 that fills my heart, overflowing from His pleasure. As I share ...

Your future lies within your hand, To do with what you may. For tomorrow brings results, Of what you've done today. The choices that you make today, Reflect the life you seek.

... The Way It Is Life had not been good to me, I shed so many tears. Every waking moment was filled with cravings, anxiety and fears. I knew I needed help, but did not know where to start. Until I changed my preception of life, and asked God into my heart. Now a few years latter, I've been sober for some time. Life has gotten a bit easier, and God is not hard to find. He is in every decision as I walk throughout my day. He is in my tears of joy as I watch my children play. As I look back on the years when I thought life wasn't good. I now know that was because I didn't do the things I should. So I'll move forward, keeping that in mind. That God is a part of all of us, giving us peace of mind.

... Where do I go? Where do I go when my tears roll down? Where do I go when pressures press down? Where do I go when pain laughs at me? Where do I go to find laughter and glee? Where do I go when I get drained out? Where do I go when all I can do is cry and pout? Where do I go when I feel insecure? Where do I go when I curl up with fear? Where do I go when situations go out of hand? Where do I go when I don't understand? Where do I go when I have to decide? Where do I go when people take me for a ride? Where do I go when I get rejected? Where do I go to be accepted? Where do I go Lord, I bowed my face? Where I know He gives me peace and grace. Addendum-Matthew 11: 28 (NLT) Then Jesus ...

That's when your fellow christians come in, to help you pray that this battle you will win. So, after I finish this poem I'm writing, I will pray for this battle you're fighting. Whether it be family, finances, fear, health or whatever, God can fix it, and you will be thankful to Him forever. As I pray for your needs, believe with me.

... them make do. All that they learned; all that they were lifted pride in America, too, and so they were willing to fight and die to preserve the Red, White and Blue. The Army / Air Corp recruited my dad before he was eighteen years old. He marched away in uniform, determined that he would be bold. 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 ...
... The Blowing Leaves She gazes at the autumn leaves that blow across the grass, Thinking to herself and hoping that this fear will pass. Autumn was the time of year that they both most enjoyed, But this year was so different now that he had been deployed. He would serve his country in the way that it seemed fit. He received his orders and he had to follow it, Off into a foreign country far away from home, While she sits here thinking of him she is all alone. Holidays are coming quickly but it doesn't matter, Thinking she will not be with him only makes her sadder. For many years the holidays were filled with happiness, Never did she think that there would be one such as this. Our country called him to fulfill his patriotic deed, And he stood ready anytime our country was in need. She had cried and felt afraid when the orders came, But she knew as well as ...

We have to change out strategy, and take a different course. You know we're strong and powerful, as all of you can see. But we may find it difficult, to gain a victory. I've cast my shadow on you, to dispel all of your fears. But one thing said the leader," This war will rage on for years" The odds are set against us, but the victory can be mine. We need to take some prisoners, one person at a time. You're going up against a force, to fight forevermore. Satan said as he called, his demons forth to war. I've given you the evil force, tomorrow you will leave. Satan told his demons, on the night of Christmas Eve ...

... The Flames Are Out The flames are out, the debris is cleared. From that day that we all feared. To remember those that died that day. We showed our American pride in many ways. We hung out the flags and made donations. To show our pride for our nation. American slogans written on cars. Sympathy came from near and far. Volunteered our time to those we'd never met. Hoping to aide in the worry and fret. We lit candles with neighbors and friends. Showing our pride just wouldn't end. Red, White and Blue was seen everywhere. Where have they gone, it just isn't fair. Is it that people just no longer care. Are they no longer saying those prayers. Are all of the flags tucked under the bed. Did they forget about all that are dead. American husbands, daughters and sons are still fighting. So why are the candles no longer lighting. Flags went out ...
130. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- The Banquet. [Poems]
... This banquet is just for two So outside with all the rest. This is a private appointment, Just between My child and Me When the two of us are together There is no need to make it three. We are going to talk about life And the steps along the way, The need to follow directions To accomplish My work each day. There are some warnings needed The great danger that is near And the power of the Spirit That helps me not to fear. Through each dinner course I am nourished deep within, His love so clearly displayed As He cleanses me from sin. What a privilege to partake of This divine heavenly repast, Yet when invited to come each day, All too often I choose to fast. Have you deserted this banquet, A spiritual feast with the King, Malnourished on the inside And weakened in everything? Think on the things of His word And develop a hunger down deep. Dinner is served in ...
... Armor Of God Put on the whole armor of God, And soldiers we shall be. Fighting the powers of darkness, Who thirst for the souls of the free. Through lust, they try to enslave us, And silence God's voice in man. With focus of faith we shun them, Avoiding the grasp of their hand. Satan whispers his sadistic thoughts In every language and every ear. Tempting all with the sins of hell, Victims of misery, hopelessness and fear. Eagerly plotting to disrupt God's works, Evil swallows up souls like the shifting sand. The armor of God is our divine protection, Shielding every child, woman, and man.~Tom Zart~[ by: Tom Zart Copyright 2005-submitted by: Tom Zart (zart08 @netzero.com)] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... you lose, you could end up in jail! Depending on the chances you're taking, Your money or maybe your life, If it makes things a little more interesting, It's probably worth all the strife. Life that has no excitement Is a pitiful way to live, Just marking time is very dull When you have so much to give. You lose touch with all the people You have loved throughout the years, Your mind is a desert island Trapped by irrational fears. If you want to feel eternally young And a person both loving and giving, Take a chance and reach out to the world; You'll find life is really worth living.~Mary Eileen Butera~Copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved [by: Mary Eileen Butera, Copyright 2011-{ used with permission}] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

Take some time to live by virtue In the best way that is known, And respect the rights of others As equal to your own. Take some time to just appreciate The fact that you are here, And to know that Higher Power And to trust It without fear. If you do these things with diligence You will eventually be glad. If you don't attempt to do them You may one day wish you had. Although this no doubt could impose Upon your time for seeking wealth, There should be little question That it could improve your health. And though you might not be as wealthy Nor drive so fine a car, You'll find you will be richer In other ways by far. [By Leon Hansen, Copyright 1999 by Jack ...

... Testing Ground He placed me in the desert and He bade me wander there, He promised He'd be with me though the way seem stark and bare. My eyes could see forever and there was no end in sight, No hills to hide a greener path to save me from my plight. Mirages filled my heart with hope then quickly passed away, I feared He had forgotten me and left me there to stay. Monotony and barren days, I'd more than had my fill; When strength was gone, I heard His voice:" Child, do you trust Me still?" If this were all I had for you, would you say I know best? If so, I'll lead you out of here, My child, you've passed the test"~~~~~" Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" (Job 13: 15a, KJV) [by: Connie Hinnen Cook ( ...

... Instead of God's Holy Son. I ponder the future, As I hear a new baby cry, Will we obey God's pure love, Or continue to live a lie? The Bible says," Bring up a child, the way he should go" But we have disobeyed His Word, And our expectations are low. Listen, my firends, to His Holy Word, Teach it firmly and clear.

Life is so much different than it was before. Jesus gives me peace and comfort and oh so much more. I wish I would have known Him much earlier in my years. It means so much for Him to vanish all of my fears. When problems arise that I can't handle, I just go to Him in prayer, and rest assured that He was with me there. Faith is what pleases Him when we kneel to pray. We won't get an answer any other way. Without faith it is impossible to please Him as we go to Him in Prayer. When we use our faith and trust in Him He will always meet us there. That's why I love Him and honor His dear name. ...

Men and women, straight and sure, Never failing in their deeds, Always there to save their folk, Attending to their needs. Yet look again, at heros these If you are NOT their kind. Any who fail to worship Killed and left behind! No future here when gods you fear, And death comes oft and sure And their displeasure means your end, Though you love them to your core.

Pastor Someone got upset Last week with what he said He'd read the Scriptures, Made a point, just as he was led Monday came and Monday went Without a word of cheer Encouragement was what he craved But none would come he feared Tuesday saw some sunshine Cheerful, warm and bright Then there came a waking call Late into the night. A cherished soul he knew so well Held lightly to this life She'd made a call but couldn't wait And left before he arrived. By midweek's day the clouds rolled in Still, things hadn't gotten better The roof was dripping silent tears And the pews were getting wetter. When Thursday came He'd had enough" Lord, this is too hard, Why is this road so rough ?" Now, if he had thought The heavens would open Only silence would answer That question of hoping. So, he fell into bed And groaned in his soul The church and the people Their problems- ...

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts. To the window that danced with a warm fire's light Then he sighed and he said" Its really all right, I'm out here by choice, I'm here every night"" ...

It starts to boil soon enough, And the bubbles make the oil rough. Then lo 'n-behold it starts to burn Just when it knows my back is turned. I quickly knew something was wrong When my stew's smell became too strong. But not to fear, ladies and gents, God blessed me with intelligence. All fires are quenched by water thrown, That's one sure thing I've always known. So thinking quickly I pour some in, Then I see a frightening thing begin. A fiery face came to my eyes, It must be Satan in disguise! It grabbed the stove in a flaming grasp! I screamed, and gave a frightened gasp. What happened next I can't describe, But death threatened by my side. ...

Old man ," said a fellow pilgrim, near," You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; you never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide-Why build you the bridge at the eventide ?"

Painting on the walls of caves and tombs Stories of accomplishment, conquest and fear. Life is a constant contest of struggle Plagued by greed, love, war, work and debate.

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.

Because I know sadness grows when it cannot be expressed and puts the soul in deep distress. Yes, then happiness grows when sadness has been cleared away and grows even quicker when sadness has no place to stay. ...

... A Child's Wonder" Daddy ," she said, her eyes full of tears," will you talk to me and quiet my fears ?" Those bad boys at school are spreading a lie 'bout the impossibility of reindeer that fly. There's no Santa Claus, they say with a grin, there's not one now and never has been. How can one man take all those toys to thousands of girls and boys? But I told them daddy, that they were not right, that I would come home and find out tonight. Mama said wait until you get home. Please tell me now that I was not wrong" Her daddy looked at her questioning face and puffed his pipe while his frantic mind raced. He had put this thing off as long as he could, he had to think fast and it better be good. Whispering a prayer, he began with a smile," Well climb on my lap, dear, let's talk ...

Every day I struggled to win, Facing each day with my sin. Sorrow and shame was my lot, Misery and fear was what I got, Not a friend could be found, My heart and soul was so bound. What had I done to deserve all this, Something had happened I was amiss. Who could I turn to in my despair, Was there anyone who would care? What could they do to help me, There's not anyone that I can see. I was tired of trying to hold on, most of my strength was already gone. Just in time I found my way, Something happened that very day, God sent someone to rescue me, He cast my sins into the sea, I was told the story, of ...

In dappled sunlight doves stroll round Picking seeds from off the ground, Where they've been dropped by hungry souls From feeders high upon tall poles. The jays, for all their strength and size, Are often found to be generous guys. My faithful bluebird, quiet as a mouse, Sits atop her backyard house. Then, here comes my friend, the squirrel, Whom I have always known as Pearl. Pearl has now told all her kin To come on over, the nuts are in. And as I watch, there comes a hush, Then raindrops fall down in a rush. As I am jolted from my perch, My friends all hurry up the birch. From my porch, I watch and wait ...

Oh, God please send your loving hug my way. The room grows quiet as tears stream down my face-the pain inside is all taken away.

... A One Word Prayer I just breathe the name of Jesus when my heart is filled with fear. And though I cannot see His face, I know that He is near. When I whisper" Jesus" softly I'm admitting I'm in need. By calling out that precious name, my stress-bound soul is freed. It's a one-word prayer I utter when I'm not sure what to pray. It's a prayer of sweet surrender when I'm weary of" my way" I pray" Jesus" when I'm worried or when I am depressed. I say" Jesus" when my mind's confused or when my life's a mess. It's a prayer He always answers as He gives me eyes to see evidences of His presence and His tender love for me.

Raindrops full of tears and hate-form a wall so huge I quake-but I climb it with the strength of One-breaking through the rain just like the Son. God is my umbrella. Raindrops blinding all that's good-cover my face like a darkened hood-but I've got a light shining through the dark-it's in my heart and left its mark. God is my umbrella.

He tried to teach us all of Gods ' Word, the sweetest story ever heard. Some men did not want to hear, for His Words made their hearts fear. So with Judas they made a plan, to end the life of this wonderful man. Then they nailed Him to the cross, for all of mankind it was a great loss.

Why did I feel life was so unfair, Still yet today, as I've grown older? The youngest of seven siblings; Four sisters and two brothers. We never would have survived Without the love from our precious mother. Some felt she should have made it better But she was afraid, as her children were.

Bent and bleeding, shivering cold... life had left me broken and alone. When deep inside, a voice did call," Come home, my child. Come ...

Beneath a sky-blue canopy, the suns sheds it's warm light. And beneath the dark clouds, they steal away our delight. But when we come to know Jesus, be the days dark or bright. We have the option, of always doing what is right. We can moan about our troubles, we can hide behind our fears. But when we walk with Jesus, our pathway becomes more clear. We can jump the highest hurdles, and swim the widest streams. Our Savior is an awesome presence, who conquer's evil schemes. He suffered great anquish, upon Calvary's dark cross.
