Shut Your Mouth And Pray | Poet’s Corner
A poem based on the sermon the Lord gave me. He gave these words on the spur of the moment after I had preached about offenses the night before. Started writing at 10:32 p.m. I heard a sermon one day That told me to shut my mouth and pray And don’t spout off my anger saying hurtful words so unholy Because those words bring God no glory. Long story short— I heard it with my heart, But my mind and my emotions Wanted no part in taking not offense. When someone rubs me the wrong way with [...]
What Easter Means To Me | Poet’s Corner
I’m a young girl As you can plainly see. I want to tell you What Easter means to me. I like the Easter baskets, And the Easter bunnies, too. I like the Easter egg hunts. They are fun things to do. (Added: I also like the new Sunday clothes— Dressing up as pretty as I can be. I like the new shoes on my feet, And the bows in my hair. Just take a look at me. But if that was all I liked about Easter, It wouldn’t be fair to Jesus.) So I really like Easter [...]
Not Just a Hi Ho Christmas | Poet’s Corner
Santa, what will you bring? It’s not just a high ho, Christmas Playing the gift-giving game. It is so much deeper than that As important as “that” is (to us). It’s a Christmas to celebrate Jesus The gift that our Father God did give. He was born in a lonely manger On a cold winter night To the Virgin Mary Because she and Joseph had to take flight From their home; going to Jerusalem, There their taxes to pay, As did all the other people Who traveled along that way. So all the sleeping places And all the inns [...]
Christmas Poem | Poet’s Corner
From God To You: Celebrate Jesus I, myself, in the form of a baby In a manger born To the virgin Mary Joseph’s very first Son. I prepared (ahead of time) The stable and the manger Where He would lie Wrapped in swaddling cloths (But unwrapped on the cross When it was time to die.) He grew in wisdom and knowledge All that I am I infused into Him. Temptations came day by day, But He bowed a knee to not a one of them Because He often came away alone to pray Therefore the vision of [...]
Satan Lost Again | Poet’s Corner
I was lost Deeply entrenched in sin. But one day I heard the gospel. Then down on my knees And in my heart I repented of my sins. I called on the name of Jesus, Confessed with my mouth What my heart believed And in just an instant Into the kingdom of God I was received As I made Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord. Satan lost when he had Jesus crucified Hanging Him on that cruel cruel cross. But Jesus rose again VICTORIOUS! That was satan’s great and fateful loss. So in my life he thought [...]
