The sound of the rain on the roof as we sleep; The silence of snow as it falls. The beauty of leaves as they turn red and gold, What memories of life to recall. The loving affection of family and friends; The love of a dear precious pet. God gives us all this to enjoy here on earth, But the greatest beauty we haven't seen yet. For when we reach Heaven and He welcomes us in, And we enter through the gates by His grace, The beauty and glory; ...
... feel like I'm in a sea and I'm about to drown, Just when I'm about to lose all my faith, A lovely voice speaks saying be cautious and wait. The voice that I heard was from my Father above, Because it was me that He loved and He loved, You're only 16 is what He said to me, There is more to life as you will see. He told me to seek things from above, And sooner or later He would give me a girl to love, Don't worry when I'll give her to you, Seek Me first and I'll let your wish come true. I made up my mind to live for the Lord, 'Cause it is very exciting and you're never bored, When you have God you're never alone in the world, You can make it through life without having a girl. However He promised I'll have one some day, And I really can't wait for her to come my way, ...
123. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Your Spirit. [Poems]
... Your Spirit I love You, Lord, and praise Your name. With You in my life, I m not the same. You give me hope when there is none. Your spirit s like the first ray of sun. When I am sad, You give me cheer. When I m afraid, You remove my fear. When I am weak, You make me strong. Your spirit s like a bird s sweet song. When I need to grieve, You comfort me. When I am wrong, You help me see. You show me where I went astray. Your spirit s here to lead my way. When other people put me down, You reach out and erase my frown. You shower me with Your sweet love. Your spirit s like a snow white dove. When life s daily trials I face, You walk beside me pace by pace. I know ...

Grant us both good humor To surpass our coming years; May there always be much laughter, May there always be less tears. Give us strength and courage To follow in Your will, To trust You in the valley As we do upon the hill. Give us both the eyes of love So we'll always see The goodness in each other, Secure us, Lord, in Thee. Give us words of kindness, Lord, Help us both to live So our lips are ever quick In saying," I forgive" Give us hearts that beat as one, Bind us ever near; May our love grow deeper, Lord, With each passing year.

Nothing seems the same, not even me yet I will trust You when I don't see. The world is really changing and so have I. I'm really lost now or You've led me up high. I've never been here before and Lord, it is so lonely. Dare I go back where it seems safer or follow You only? I hear Your voice-Yes, it is You. So different from all the others. It's new and fresh and true. I keep walking Your way but the path is getting steeper. I've tripped on some rocks, now I've fallen in deeper. You pull me up and again You talk but I'm bruised and tired, Lord And I'm afraid to walk. You give me Your hand And we take steps together. I'm getting stronger now though ...

It's been so long since I have known-the inner peace that you can give. Yes, over time I've learned and I have grown. But, now it's time for me to learn to live.

If you lived to please yourself, The pages will be bare. And God will issue no reward, For you when you get there. In fact, you'll be embarrassed, You will hang your head in shame. Because you did not give yourself, In love to Jesus ' Name. Hopefully, there will be a few, Recorded lines that stayed. That showed the times you truly cared, And sincerely loved and prayed. But you will always wonder, As you enter heaven's door, How much more there would have been, If only you'd done more. For I record as God sees it, I don't stop to even think. Because the truth is written, With God's ETERNAL INK. When I ...

I swept him up into my arms and held him oh so near and kissed him on the forehead as I whispered in his ear. There's nothing wrong my little son, for safe we sleep tonight, our heroes stand on foreign land to give us all the right, to worry on the things in life that mean nothing at all, instead of wondering if we will be the next to fall. He looked at me as children do and said it's always right, to thank the ones who help us and perhaps that we should write. And so we pushed aside the bills and sat to draft a note, to thank the many far from home, and this is what we wrote: God bless you all ...
... Don't Grow Too Old Don't ever grow too old for birthdays, Fun-things that you used to do, Don't give up your dreams because you Feel that they have not come true. Don't forget the sound of laughter, Or the love in someone's eyes, Don't trade memories for pleasures, All that in a moment dies. Don't give up your zest for living, Saying you are much too old, Is this what you feel, or is it Something that you have been told? There's a valley deep within us, Where there is an eternal Spring, Where there is no sound of sorrow, And the birds forever sing. Though your gait is not as steady now, As once it used to be, And your vision's clouding over things You used to clearly see, Do not let the weight of decades, Turn you into bitter gall, For with age there comes a wisdom, That is a blessing to us all.

I am always open and honest with You, For You perceive what I m going through. You are near and ready to minister me, If I give all my burdens to You. When I feel I m on a merry-go-round, My world spinning out of control. You hear my cries as I call to You. Your Spirit flows and soothes my soul.

Because I m one of Your children, And You re my Father whom I wish to obey. I ll remember Your promise You give ...

Or maybe it's a girl, I'm sure she'll make a real fine teacher. God's Precious Gift A priceless work of art. Painted by the master; Designed in his own heart. Did He give her curls? Or give him hazel eyes? A few more months, just wait and see. The rest is a surprise. God's Precious Gift So innocent and pure. Now you're second guessing? You say you're just not sure? A fetus? No, a baby! Just tissue? No, a life! Abortion means to kill. How can that be right? God's Precious Gift Freedom from shame There is forgiveness Only call on His name. He came that all should live and none He wished to die. ...

He s soon coming for His bride. We must all be ready, When He calls us to His side. We ll kneel before our Master. We ll give Him all the praise. For He s the One who saved us, When He died and then was raised. Let s keep our eyes on Jesus, For our treasures are above. There is a crown He promised, To those who give Him love. He ll open The Book to judge us, For the works we did while here. Did we do them for His glory, With a heart that was sincere? If our works withstand the fire, We have gems to adorn our crown. ...

... Looking In The Mirror I looked into the mirror today, I saw an old, sad, wrinkled face, I thought," Lord, how can you love me, There's nothing left, not a trace! I used to be enthusiastic, AndI served You for many years, Now I am tired and worn out, And prone to selfish tears. Then I picked up my Bible, And this is what you said. Since the New Covenant gives us such confidence we can be very bold. We are not like Moses, Who put a veil over his face, so people would not see the glory (of God) fading away. But the people's minds were hardened, and even to this day, when the old covenant is read, a veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the Truth, and this veil can only be removed by believing in Christ" 2 Corinthians 3: 7-13 Now, as I stare in ...

All my life I have waited for this special day-for the one whom my soul yearned to love; For my answer to prayer, the" One" given to me from the heart of the Father above. The years I have wasted in wandering afar are dim memories since I found You, As cold snow that melts swiftly and soon disappears when the Son's warming brilliance breaks through. Soon our lives will entwine as we promise to walk from this day forth, always-together. With the light of our love and the joy of our Lord, we'll walk the bright path to forever.

Not a soul out at four AM, As we walked the snow covered road; Looked up at the sky and the stars, I felt all my burdens unload. I stopped to say a short prayer, Thanked God for life's little blessings; Felt all His love run through my veins, Thanked Him for all of His lessons. I asked Him to give me more strength, As I start to walk a new trail; Said I'd give Him one hundred percent, Asked if He would help me not fail. The stars all seemed to get brighter, As if angels had heard my plea; Thank You Lord, for Your loving ways, I thank You for caring for me. I promised God I'd do my best, I promised to follow His lead; To help others along the trails, To be right there for ...

From wild buttercups to the roses, From mighty eagles to butterflies, God gives life to them all, And how they all multiply! The farmers till the fertile soil, They plant the wheat and corn, They harvest food for the nations, To feed the hungry and forlorn. How about all those great trees, That bear all kinds of nuts and fruit, And the vineyards, heavy-hung, There's no real substitutes! God is our loving Holy Father, He gave His only Son, He loves us all so very much, He will leave nothing undone. Raise your hands toward heaven, Thank Him for all He has made ...

Yes time will tell who belongs to Him, God needs some workers whose light is not dim, to let the mockers know that He loves them still, He'd save their soul and give them a thrill. Father God is not out to hurt any one, like a thief and a murderer who shoots to kill with his gun, What he wants to do is love you so much, that you can't live without His touch. Once they have tasted and see He's so good, He'll change their lives, they'll live like they should, Their hearts and minds will be different then, they'll turn their backs away from sin. The God they once mocked, and joked about, becomes their best friend without a doubt, now ...

I'll make her spirit sweeter, And soften her a bit; I'll give her heart some extra warmth And love before I quit." And as the seasons come and go, You'll find she grows more dear; She'll be more precious in your eyes With each new passing year." And you must seek to please her, And keep the romance fresh; For she will be bone of your bones, And the flesh of your flesh" And that's how it first started, That's how it all began~God made a woman that same day, And gave her to the man.

When they came upon the manger, Mary nodded" Yes" and smiled, Knowing that God had provided this small place to birth the Child. As the donkey watched in reverence, there, within the sparrow's sight; As a light shone 'round about them, the Christ Child was born that night. All the animals were struck with awe as scores of angels came, Giving praise to God on highest, giving glory to His Name. And that tiny stable came alive with joy and peace and love, As the Father poured His blessings out from Heaven up above. Yet today that same old question is repeated year-by-year," Where's the promise of His coming ?" unsaved men ask with a sneer. Taunting those of us who love Him, doubting sounds are often heard; As rejecting God, they question, scorning Jesus and His Word. But ...

Then I would not forget my thoughts as I so often do. It's hard for me to realize that you are twenty-one. It seems like only yesterday your life had just begun.

I remember coming home from work at five each day, Then you would jump into my arms and always you would say, ...

She took no pains when it came time to sow, Just mixed all the seeds and watched them grow, And oh how they thrived there all together Growing tall and strong even in stormy weather. And my granny was often heard to say," I sure wish people could grow that way.

Our garden of life will be free of weeds If we only plant and tend loving seeds"-Lora Cox-[ by ...

We sit together each morning, He teaches me on Him to depend. Lack of love is this world's problem, It's been buried and burned away. So many times we are too busy, To help a disallusioned castaway!"

Planted with love and care, will we then take root and grow? His help is essential at first and throughout the process, we know. For a seed cannot live without water. A seed cannot live without light. To grow as He wished when planted we must seek the water and light. Pursuing with all of our heart those things for survival we need. If we are to live to the fullest, the Planter we must receive. For He is the Light and the Water. He is everything that we need. To have life abundant and joyful in the Giver of life, we believe.

They have so much in common and they have right from the start, Everything from sense of humor to a loving heart. What a pair their friends have said, no one could find it odd, Because you two are very much like two peas in a pod.

If ever two belonged together it must be your fate, Now we understand the term when people say" soulmate" She smiles again and feels so warm, he is a handsome man, Nobody ever made her feel the way that this man can.

And you would keep assuring Him You're glad to have Him there-That serving Him in your home Is joy beyond compare. But when you saw Him coming, Would you meet Him at the door With arms outstretched in welcome To your heavenly visitor? Or would you have to change your clothes Before you let Him in Or hide some magazines And put the Bible where they'd been Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? And I wonder-if the Saviour spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing, ...

... Remember To Smile A smile can light a candle, In a lonely heart, It's like a sunny morning, That warms a new day's fresh start. Like a new mother's smile that cradles Her baby with pure love, Or a father's smile when he gives his young son, A new baseball glove. When we think about the world's sad woes, The hungry and the poor. We often do what is expected, But a smile will open the door. There's problems with acceptance Of so many strangers on our shore, But a warm smile can often lighten, Someone's day as never before. Sometimes a smile is like a rainbow, Shining through a misty cloud, That cheers an aggravated soul, In the midst of an unseeing crowd. Remember to smile today, Every where you go. It may not solve all the problems, But it will soften life's not so gentle blows. A smile is good medicine, It can turn ...

That urgent cry, That desperate call, When all else fails, Where do the pieces fall?

He hears every time that you call, And your tears are not unseen, The future lies distant and grim, But He knows just what it means!

Seeing God in Everything" Oh I need a new idea ," I said, While thinking on a sleepless bed;" A new idea that'll bring to earth, A balm for souls, of priceless worth; That'll give men thoughts of things above, And teach them how to serve and love, That'll banish every selfish thought, And rid men of the sins they've fought" At last the new thought came, I'm here to tell; It came to me, when on bended knee I fell, And sought from Him who knows full well, The way our sorrow's to expel. So, see God in all things, great and small, And give Him praise whatever befalls, In life or death, in pain or woe, Because God can overcome all your foes.

And You continue to bless me each day. It seems the closer I get to You, More blessings come my way. Some blessings that You give me, Outwardly are not perceived. But these are much more valuable, Than others I have received. When I am blessed with inner peace, And joy permeates my soul, When I can live with a future hope, I treasure these more than gold. You never withheld Your blessings, The times I went astray. You always continued to bless me, Though I was in sin and far away. You had to get my attention, When I was being so unwise. The fiery trials You put me through, Were just blessings in disguise. Thank You ...
... My Favorite Poet My favorite poet is God above Who gives Earth its rhythm and rhyme. Not pied pipers of misguided souls Who promote distrust, hatred and crime. Poetry is nature serenading in song The peaceful roar of the oceans waves. The wind through the trees and over the hills And the flowers in the fields by the graves. The sound of rain as it waters the thirsty The songs of children at play in the park. The far off rumble of trains or thunder As they pass through the night in the dark. The joy of our babies first words and steps The passion of life with its heroes and clowns. The on going struggle to survive our sins As we proliferate in hamlets and towns. My favorite poet is our Father of love Who was first to know us before birth. His poetry prolongs every thing we love As His deliverance gives life its worth.~Tom Zart~Soldier For The Lord [by: ...

What treasures await us, When we take the time to see. His priceless gifts of beauty, He sends to you and me. Cattle in lush, green, pastures, Where quiet waters flow. And the ever-blooming meadows, Here on this earth below. It makes me wonder about our future, When we ascend to heaven above. How can we take it ...

Life is sweet, because of friends we've made and the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else on which all of life's splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you sum it up, is found in the making of friends.

So, if you think that you can't share cause I won't understand. At least just give me half a chance to lend a helping hand. For I know that you're hurting and I know a place to start. Perhaps if you could realize-Your pain burns in my heart. I know I cannot make your trials and troubles go away. But maybe I can help a bit to get you through today. And maybe by tomorrow you wont need help anymore. But if you should-Don't be ashamed-For that's what friends are for. And after ...

And when the need arises, of themselves they will give. Quiet-like and unselfish, for others they pave the way. Though they never will admit it, they often save the day. They stand up for Christian values and are honest and true. They treat others with compassion, with kindness, and love too. Not all angels are in heaven; not all angels have wings.

Like a sinner Returns to sin again I'm given pause To think. The struggle I face Will always rage Sometimes the battle Will be lost.

... sex, trust and affection Never tolerates self-serving fools. They say marriages are made in heaven, But so are tornadoes, lighting and thunder. Cold hearts and hot heads never solve anything They just destroy what we love by blunder. Boredom, frustration, irritations and anger Douse the spark between you and your mate. More of the same fails to feed love s flame Till you wake up to find it's too late Human touch sustains the release of endorphins For both the giver and receiver. Never be afraid to hug your partner. For the language of touch is a reliever. Always remember to support your spouse When times of dilemma arise.

Did he curse at the government, cry for election, And claim that the sea should have given protection? No-he said to himself as he lay on a shell, Since I cannot remove it, I shall try to improve it. Now the years have rolled around, as the years always do, And he came to his Ultimate Destiny-stew. And the small grain of sand that had bothered him so, Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow.

No stockings by the mantle, just boots filled with sand, on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, a sobering thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I found it home for a soldier, once I could see clearly.

My Mom came over and I knew she had something to say, With teary eyes she said your grandma Ruby died today. She had sent a package just a few short weeks before, With presents for my children she has purchased at the store. With all the love she had to give she had kept it alive, The Christmas box sent in the mail until the day she died. So now that I am older and I have my own family, That tradition that she started means so much to me. Every year two weeks before our Christmas Day has come, My grandchildren each get a box and I fill everyone. I am very fortunate they all live close to me, So early in the morning I make my delivery.

So quietly and peacefully new snowflakes hit the ground, And form a pure white layer and they never make a sound. The soft flakes feel like drops of ice when drifting on my face, And everything feels fresh and clean as I walk through this place. The trees are covered with a coat of freshly fallen snow, Then some have icy branches that give off a crystal glow. The only sound that I can hear is little wisps of wind, But only for a moment then the air is still again. My heart is overflowing with a feeling from within, A gentle, soothing, calming feeling comes to me again. I stop to meditate and feel the breeze upon my face, I need this time alone to touch my feelings and embrace, The constant nagging question in my mind that causes doubt, Once again I ...

Did you drive a fine car? Now you're six feet below~Will it get you that far? How much did your money cost you? Was that paycheck your only reward?

... Be a Friend Be a friend. You don't need money; Just a disposition sunny; Just the wish to help another Get along some way or other; Just a kindly hand extended Out to one who's un-befriended; Just the will to give or lend, This will make you someone's friend. Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story. Pass by trifling errors blindly, Gaze on honest effort kindly, Cheer the youth who's bravely trying, Pity him who's sadly sighing; Just a little labor spend On the duties of a friend. Be a friend. The pay is bigger (Though not written by a figure) Than is earned by people clever In what's merely self-endeavor. You'll have friends instead of neighbors For the profits of your labors; You'll be richer in the end Than a prince, if you're a friend.

Bend In The Road When we feel we have nothing left to give And we are sure that the song has ended When our day seems over and the shadows fall And the darkness of night has descended, Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying, Where can we find the hand that will dry The tears that the heart is crying? There's but one place to go and that is to God And, dropping all pretense and pride, We can pour out our problems without restraint And gain strength from Him at our side, And together we stand at life's crossroads And view what we think is the end But God has a much bigger vision And He tells us it's only a bend For the road goes on and is smoother And the" pause in the song" is a rest And the part that's unsung and unfinished Is the sweetest and richest and best So rest and relax and grow stronger Let go and ...

... To tell her that she loved her and the things she didn't say, She should have said so many things before she went away. She thinks about the Mother's Days gone by with just a token, Token gifts were not enough now that her heart is broken. She should have spent the entire day devoted to her Mother, And laughed and reminisced the past and shared with one another. But she had done her duty as so many others do, Stopped to give a token gift before the day was through. Rushing through her busy day and running out of hours, Never taking time as said" to stop and smell the flowers" Now she smells the flowers that she placed upon the ground, But now she smells them all alone and does not hear a sound. She whispers softly to her Mother hoping that she hears, And says I love you mommy as she wipes away more tears. I love you for the years you ...

Before I was a Mom; I never thought about immunizations, I never held a screaming child so the doctors could give shots, I never looked into teary eyes and cried, I never felt my heart break into pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt, I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. Before I was a Mom; I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down, I never sat up late hours of the night watching a baby sleep, I never got up in the middle of the night to make sure everything was okay, I ...

As I shuffle down the path leading through the park, As the days grow shorter now and soon it will be dark. I realize that life is like the seasons we live through, Life is like the changing seasons always changing too. Basking in the warmth of life in the summer sun, Never giving thought to when these summer days are done. But before we realize the cold wind starts to blow, And our basking summer sun turns colder with the snow. Only then we realize that life has changed so fast, Only then we realize that nothing ever lasts. Life goes through the seasons as the years accumulate, Many times we long for summer when it is too late. Life is meant for living and enjoying each new day, Life is meant for loving those ...

He told me if you caught a dozen butterflies or so, And gently rubbed them on your arms and legs and let them go. The dust that was upon their wings would start to make you light, And if you caught enough of them the dust would give you flight. So all day long out in a field I did what I was told, And thought of being Peter Pan when I was 5 years old. I caught the little butterflies and rubbed them on my skin, My arms and legs and everywhere, I even rubbed my chin. He had said a dozen but I strived for even more, I wanted more than I would need so I could really soar. Late that afternoon I felt that it was time ...

They get so caught up in their lives, so busy all the time, And don't give him a second thought because they know he's fine.

Though they seem too small and tiny To carry on God's way, They'll grow into a strong child, soon; With each passing day.

... Divine Telepathy I sorrowed till my heart filled-up with pain within my chest; I tried in vain to name this pain that would not give me rest. Why loneliness had hold of me I failed to understand; It was as though my fickle heart were homesick for some land. It was as though I yearned to see the face I held most dear; To gaze into those timeless eyes and hold that loved one near. I'd never missed someone so much nor longed for someone more; And yet the one I ached to see I'd never seen before. How could I long to see someone that I had yet to see? Could it have been that it was then my Lord was missing me? -Connie" and though you have not seen Him, you love Him" (I Peter 1: 8 NASB) [by: Connie Hinnen Cook (cjcook @mynewroads.com)-from Connie Hinnen Cook] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved ...

He gave His life to save my soul, He suffered my disgrace. Now I try to be like Him, I must represent Him well. So other folks will want His gift, And turn their backs on hell. Other folks should see the joy, That Christ has given me. They should want to have it too, Especially since it's free. They should begin to ask me, What is it they must do. Just how it is they go about, Getting Jesus too. Then I get to tell them, This wondrous gift is free. It only takes a humble heart, A prayer on bended knee. Someday when I'm face to face, With the Lord who made me free. Will He see His own reflection, Or ...
