NaPoWriMo 2013, #24–Leona

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Alone On A Noel,
I sit and ponder for what seems like an Eon,
asA Lone star shines down on the Lea.
I feel akin to that star, for I too am alone,
Yet my light also shines. La!
Because of the One from above who came down
Nae alone am I,
For Lo!  He is always with me, the Bright Morning Star!   Ole!

NaPoWriMo 2013, #19–Blessings–“Pocket Poem”

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Blessings-Pocket Poem 2013This a “Pocket Poem” I wrote and shared yesterday.  I printed out 5 in the shape of a pocket, which I carried in my coat pocket,to share with people throughout the day.
One share was unexpected and very special!
So glad I was able to participate in “Pocket Poem Day 2013” and  I plan  to do so every year !  (And…next year I hope to print out even more to share! 🙂

 

 

I bless you with hope,
As you go about this day.
I bless you with dreams,
That will never fade away.
For as you keep these within,
The battle of life you will win!

“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24 (NKJV)

NaPoWriMo 2013, #9–Treasures

Posted on by Leonas Lines

With my Bible in my hand,
Off to church I go,
With expectation in my heart,
Of what I may come to know.

A Book so full of mysteries,
And knowledge to be found,
Is not something that I want,
To just leave sitting around.

So I walk ever so swiftly,
Across the frozen ground,
Eager to reach my destination,
And the treasures that abound.

For when the Book is opened,
It often speaks to me,
And inspires me with wisdom,
That solves the mystery,
Of life now and forever,
And a Hope that is to come.

What a great adventure !
And it’s not just for some,
But for all who seek and desire,
The truth to be known.

Come with me on this journey,
And treasures you too will be shown.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #7–Romans 8 Declarations and Question

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Freedom!
In Christ Jesus I am not condemned as I walk according to the Spirit.
In Christ the law of the Spirit of life has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Acceptance!
God offered me this freedom by sending His Son who fulfilled the law, as I accept Him,
God, in Christ, adopts me as His child.  I can now call God my “Abba, Father”

Provision!
I am now a joint heir with Christ.   I have hope.  I have a Helper, the Spirit, who intercedes in prayer for me.
All things will work together for good for me, because I love God and am called according to His purpose.

Purpose!
God foreknew me, predestined me, called me, justified me, will glorify me.
I have a destiny.  I am to be conformed to the image of the Son.

Question?
What can one say to all these things? 
I would ask— If God is for me—who can be against me?
