My Future
The Lord has future plans for me that are good.
I trust in Him, for I know He will act.
He has plans that are exact.
He will give me an abundant life.
I do not have to worry,
or be in a hurry.
He will provide for me,
As He provides for the birds of the air.
I can depend on His care.
Therefore, I will delight myself in Him,
and trust in Him, for He does guarantee
the desires of my heart He’ll give to me.
As I trust Him and acknowledge Him,
He will direct my paths and make them straight,
And they’ll lead me right to Heaven’s gate.
My eye, nor ear, nor heart, cannot even imagine
what He has prepared for me,
Here on earth and in the Heavenly.
I have faith that He will reward me as I seek Him,
and love Him with all my heart, mind and soul.
That is my future, that is my goal.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:6)

The Hand of God
A small tear
Rolled down her cheek
None noticed
Except One
His big hand touched her cheek
Bringing tears of Joy

We challenge you today to write a poem in which something big and something small come together
A Remembrance
Today
Lying in my path
A reminder of You
Twig cross created by the wind’s breath
Speaks loudly
Cinquain
Yesterday as I went out to get my mail it was windy and raining so I was walking with my hood up and head down, when I noticed what looked like a tiny beautiful cross lying in a pool of water on the blacktop. It was fashioned of two light colored twigs that apparently were blown by the wind to end up in that position. The way the light hit it it almost appeared to look golden. It stopped me in my tracks that’s for sure! As I pulled out my phone to snap a picture I thanked God for sending me this reminder on the day before Palm Sunday!
They “Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” John 12:13 KJV
POSSIBLE
God is:
Promising a good future. It’s
Obtainable and
Securable, if you are
Susceptible and ready to be
Imaginable! Will it be a
Breeze? No, more
Likely it will take hard work. It won’t be
Easy, but it is possible to achieve.
ACROSTIC
Think positive!
With God all things are Possible! (Matthew 19:26)
Again
I worried
And wondered although
God said don’t
Syllable Lune
Sound familiar?
God says not to worry yet again I find myself doing so.
God says not to wonder about the future yet I often do that too.
Why do I do that?
He’s shown me time and time again that He’s trustworthy, that He’ll always be there for me, that He loves me and cares for me, and wants to heal me and give me an abundant blessed life, yet when a new problem arises I somehow find myself lapsing back into worry and wonder.
Ah, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” said Jesus (Matthew 26:41)
Forgive me God.
I love You and I am so happy that you love me and are patient with me.
…“Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief” Mark 9:24
Tears of Regret
Above,
Soft voice speaks:
“Saint, why are you crying?”
“My heart has been wounded today
I’m hurt”
I say.
“Ah, tis so I see”
Says He from high above.
“Why is your armor in your closet
Today?”
“Forgot”
I reply shamefully,
Hanging my head in woe.
“I was in a hurry and had places
To go”.
“I see”
Says He from high,
“ Your mind and body was
Unprotected from the enemy’s wiles
And so,
He had
Access to harm
You. Dear Saint always be
Aware and your armor to wear
Each day”
Crown Cinquain/Dialogue
Unclad
We smiled, chittering and chattering
As daylight filled with bright sunshine
Spilled upon us walking sprightly.
In the distance a lion roared
But the sound did not reach
Our quiescent ears
Dulled by sleep.
Our guard down,
The lion
Strikes!
Caught
Off guard
We scramble
To stand and fight
The enemy attack.
Unprepared for battle,
Head and heart vulnerable
To fleshly fear and worldly anger,
We attempt to vanquish our beastly foe
Unprotected. We cry out for God to help us!
Reverse Etheree and Etheree
Based on 1Peter 5:8 and Ephesians 6:10-18
Wind of the Spirit
Waiting for the wind
To fulfill my only purpose
Patiently I stand still
Senryu
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
Works Of Art
At
First glance
I may seem
Ordinary
Yet if you will stop
To take a closer look
You may be quite surprised
You’ll see I that am a unique
Creation of God’s workmanship even though
At first glance I may seem ordinary.
Dectina Refrain
Just as these beautiful metal horse sculptures pictured above are unique creations of art, created by Dixie Jewett of Dayton,OR thru her love of horses and her skill in welding, so are we all works of art, created and designed by God.
Each of us are unique. Masterpieces of our Creator who formed us in love, to reflect and shine His workmanship to the world around us.
Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].
