NaPoWriMo 2013, #18–A Pocket Full of Rhyme

Posted on by Leonas Lines

I’ve got a poem in my pocket,
A verse in my heart.
A vision in my mind,
As this new day I start.

I want to share them all with you,
As I go about my day.
Perhaps what I offer you,
Will encourage you in some way.

I hope my “Pocket Poem” will bless,
For it’s a verse from my heart,
It’s purpose is to bring happiness,
That’s my vision to impart.

So should we chance to meet today,
I hope you will stop for a time,
And let me share my thoughts with you,
from a pocket full of rhyme.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #13–A Walk Down Memory Lane

Posted on by Leonas Lines

I went for a walk today,
Down Memory Lane.
‘Twas  a lovely journey,
That I’d like to take again.

For people I had forgotten,
Suddenly came into view,
And reminded me of happy days,
As we recalled a thing or two.

They resurrected a dream,
That I had thought long lost.
I rejoiced to have it back,
And am glad our paths crossed.

And suddenly my steps seem lighter,
As I take the path towards Now,
For I’m holding on to a dream,
I know will come true somehow.

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?
