Inspirations I love poetry. These poems are a few of my favorites. They serve as an inspiration to me. I hope they do the same for you!
"I am A Christian" When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I am saved" I am whispering "I was lost" That is why I chose this way. When I say.. "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and I need someone to be my guide. When I say.."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong, I'm professing I am weak and I pray for strength to carry on. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt. When I say.."I am a Christian", I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are too visible but, God believes I'm worth it. When I say.."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartaches which is why I speak His name. When I say.."I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge. I have no authority. I only know I am loved. Author Unknown ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "How Can I Not Believe" I cannot make the robin sing the songs for you and me. I cannot make the rainbow hue that in all of life we see. I cannot make the forest glade, the rippling brook I hear. Nor can I put the sun up high nor control a tiny tear. I cannot make a golden leaf pastelled with colors bright. I cannot tell the stars to shine a glorious, wonderful site. I cannot tell my heartstrings who or what to love. All these things I cannot do, come from the Lord above. Yes, My Friend, I do believe for his gifts all say "I care" And since we cannot do these things, Thank God "He" lets us share. Author Unknown ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "On The Wings Of A Prayer" Just close your eyes and open your heart. And feel your worries and cares depart. Just yield yourself to the Father above, And let him hold you secure in his love. For life on earth grows more involved, With endless problems that can't be solved, But God only asks us to do our best, Then he will take over and finnish the rest... So when you are tired, discouraged and blue, There is always one door that is open to you, And that is the door to The House Of Prayer, And you'll find God waiting to meet you there. And The House Of Prayer is no further away, than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray. For the heart is a temple when God is there As we place ourselves in his loving care. And he hears every prayer and answers each one When we pray in his name- Thy will be done. The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear, are lifted away on the wings of a prayer. ©Helen Steiner Rice ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Live With Faith" When all we own is lost to faith, and dreams have gone astray, We learn how little we need, to live from day to day. And from the "lightning strikes" of life, we learn to live with grief and strife. A truth is born of lifes dispairs, whose heartaches make it known, That what we build and sow on earth we never truly own; and dreams and treasures of today, tomorrows storms might sweep away. But we must not condem our God for the trials of land and sea, that wreck our dreams and test the loves he willed to you and me. It is for us to build anew, where castles stood and flowers grew. Our faith in God must never wane to furies of our time, he often lets the blossoms die to save the mother vine. it is not meant for us to know which seeds we sow he means to grow. It is- for us- to live with faith, through calms and storms of life and lift ourselves from our defeats, to ease each newer strife. And in each trial of life's dispair, to trust in God with love and prayer. Author Unknown
