Fear vs Faith
"Be strong, do not fear!" (Isaiah 35:4);
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!" (2 Timothy 1:7).
Fear says to us:
You're not going to make it;
You're not good enough.
The road that you're on
Is gonna be tough.
The race that you face
Is not one you'll win,
So don't even try to
Get rid of your sin.
But...
Faith says to us:
Your victory is won;
Jesus died in your place.
The road that you're on
Will be guided by Grace.
The race that you're in
Isn't for you to win;
It's a victory lap that proves
That you've overcome Sin.

About this poem:
Faith is the victory....Praise God Always!
"Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago".(Isaiah 25:1)
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
And flow they often do.
To everyone who’s born of God,
To you, and you, and you.
Don’t be ashamed to praise the Lord
If things aren’t going right.
It’s good for you to praise Him still,
It’ll get rid of the blight.
When you give praise unto the Lord,
It makes His heart feel good.
And then is when you’ll feel like things
Are working as they should.
But best of all is that such praise
Gives you the upper hand.
‘Cause Satan’s plan to steal your joy,
Gets buried in the sand.
for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago".(Isaiah 25:1)
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
And flow they often do.
To everyone who’s born of God,
To you, and you, and you.
Don’t be ashamed to praise the Lord
If things aren’t going right.
It’s good for you to praise Him still,
It’ll get rid of the blight.
When you give praise unto the Lord,
It makes His heart feel good.
And then is when you’ll feel like things
Are working as they should.
But best of all is that such praise
Gives you the upper hand.
‘Cause Satan’s plan to steal your joy,
Gets buried in the sand.

About this poem:
He is worthy of my praise...
Imagine
Imagine, your whole world revolves around you literally,
Who feels your pain, you!, who feels your loss, you!, who
Feels but you, this world is your creation, from your imagination,
In tune with life, In tune with you, a song that you make true,
And when it ends and it’s over and done there’s never a
Winner or someone that’s won, start anew, me and you!
Who feels your pain, you!, who feels your loss, you!, who
Feels but you, this world is your creation, from your imagination,
In tune with life, In tune with you, a song that you make true,
And when it ends and it’s over and done there’s never a
Winner or someone that’s won, start anew, me and you!

Post CommentThe future
In a thousand years, there will be new fears, global warming
lost and gone no warning, new spirits flow new way to go,
and all that is will be lost and gone, we're not right, we're not
wrong, we are the eternal epitome of that age old song, it was I that was
right, and you that were wrong, and then, we are gone.

Post CommentHe Taught Me...(an original poem from a book of Inspiration that I published in 2016)
"Oh God, you have taught me from my youth;
And to this day I declare your wondrous works.” (Ps 71:17)
He taught me WHO
He was, is and will continue to be.
He taught me WHAT
was truly important – His Will, His Purpose, my obedience.
He taught me WHERE
to look when I couldn’t find my way out the maze, or was blinded by the haze that surrounded me.
He taught me WHEN
It was okay to stop and stare at the clouds for a while, to inhale His Greatness and exhale His praises.
He taught me HOW
to smile when I felt like crying, cussing, yelling or giving up, to believe His Word, and to really trust His Love for me.
He taught me WHY
I need to face life’s challenges with optimism, regardless of how daunting they may appear.
And...
He’s still teaching me.
And to this day I declare your wondrous works.” (Ps 71:17)

About this poem:
So many things still to learn....Final exam!
If you divide the good by the bad do you get the mad? The sad?
If you multiply you and me what would you see?
A host of energy?
If you subtract negativity, then add positivity and all that could be,
Then you know you have passed!

Post CommentReady Steady Go!
Start the day with a smile,start the day away from
negativity, and all that brings you down, don't let the
world suffocate you, don't you drown, don't you be
anything they can see, always feel free to be you,
the you that you know, instinctively, then tomorrow
will be all that you imagined it could be because
you made it so, take control, off you go!

Post CommentColours!
Colours……………., colours mean so much don’t they?
They can define your day, blue or grey,
Or soothing and colourful, feel the hint of spring
On it’s way,
Blue is cold, like a winters day, ….but snow, snow
Brings out the child in you for you to play,
Orange is warm, a tropical paradise, a holiday
A place that’s nice
And green is precious, not envious, just
Spend a while, in the Emerald Isle
Red can be what you want to see, or just a rose,
Colourfully,
There’s yellow, violet and indigo, it’s a wonderful
World, is that not so?

Post CommentJESUS...my rainbow (an original poem from a book of Inspiration that I published in 2016)
“I set my rainbow in the cloud…” (Genesis 9:13)
“…; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.” (Revelations 4:3)
When the storms of life are beating upon the frail fabric of my mind
I long for peace and rest.
My soul looks above the clouds unto the veil behind, hoping for a sign of His Presence because He alone knows how to calm the storms.
He alone knows my story.
He alone feels my pain.
He alone cares for me and can ease the strain of the burdens that I carry.
He alone can take away my sorrow,
And promise me a bright tomorrow.
HE IS JESUS… MY RAINBOW

About this poem:
Life's stormy weathers are easier to bear with Jesus's help.:-)
When thunder is about you
When lightning strikes the sodden trees
and bad weather does prevail
steer not from your chosen course
across the hills and dale
When thunder is about you
and the sky delivers hail
keep pace along the country lanes
despite the howling gale
In time the sun will shine again
there is no time to wail
for many a mile is still to go
be sturdy as a rail
and bad weather does prevail
steer not from your chosen course
across the hills and dale
When thunder is about you
and the sky delivers hail
keep pace along the country lanes
despite the howling gale
In time the sun will shine again
there is no time to wail
for many a mile is still to go
be sturdy as a rail
