Book of Handwritten Poetry in Goodwill
You know those blank books you can buy to use as a journal or whatever? I was in Goodwill looking for an attractive lamp and I browsed the book section. It must have been the Lord leading me there, because I discovered a book of handwritten poetry. To say that the poems are inspired is just not giving them proper credit. I would like to share a few of them with the congregation here.
On the front cover, it has a name and a date of birth that makes this poet about 17 years old. I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would get rid of these. Anyway, the first one is called "God's Love." GOD'S LOVE God's love is so wonderful It means the world to me His love is always touching And always tenderly He loves me with His Bible It is a two edged sword There is really nothing like Being loved by the Lord. The next one is called "God's Promises." GOD'S PROMISES God's promises are so amazing They mean a lot to me He promises to be faithful And I've found He's that to thee. He promises to take me To His home on high I know that this is true because On His promises I rely. Yet another is this one, a unique verse called "God's Jesus." GOD'S JESUS God's Jesus is so wonderful He means the world to me Jesus died on Cavalry to set my spirit free His Father up in Heaven sent him down to earth And proved that there can be such thing As a virgin birth His purpose was to save us from our lives of sin and woe God's Jesus did all that and more and now I love Him so. GOD'S ANGELS God's angels are so beautiful They mean so much to me Their wings are spreading everywhere To protect God's people like me They fly from here to over there And watch over us each day They hear us when we're crying and they love to hear us pray An angel told God's mother that she soon would be with child With love and peace and mercy It was a mercy mild. GOD'S MERCY God's mercy is so merciful It means so much to me Without His mercy I'd be doomed To Hell for eternity But mercy sent Him to the cross To die for me that day And now His merciful blessings Follow me every step of the way. GOD'S FACE God's face is full of grace He smiles upon me now I love His face so bountiful He never lets me down. When I can't bear to see All the sin in the world below I look at God's face and then I'm calm And blessed while here below. There are pages more, but I'll share those another time. |

Dear Brother in Christ,
Although these sound quite lovely, we need to be wary of anything purchased in a second hand store. They often carry demons! You must always pray over any items you buy from such places. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?p=1017871 BLESSINGS! |
Re: Book of Handwritten Poetry in Goodwill
Just a few more inspirational poems from this genius daughter of Christ:
GOD'S PROTECTION God's protection is so loving It's all the world to me He protects me in the morning And also when I sleep God's protection never fails us We never have to worry He protects us when we're busy Or in a terrible hurry. So relax in God's protection It will calm you when you're scared His hand is always on you And we need not ever be scared. GOD'S WRATH God's wrath is so terrible It scares me to think of what I'd see If I looked around and saw it God's wrath coming down toward me I would trust in Jesus Christ And pray that God would smile And calm His angry madness If only for a while But when you're in Christ Jesus There is no need to fear For Christ will always shield us When God's great wrath is near. GOD'S UNDERSTANDING God's understanding always helps us It means the world to me His understanding keeps me calm I shout the victory My mind may not be as broad as His But one thing I can say God's understanding will follow me Until that bright, shining day. GOD'S FRIENDSHIP God's friendship is so loving It's everything I need I don't need friends on earth below Since Jesus befriended me He listens when I need Him Unlike those here on earth He came to be my friend for ever Through Mary's virgin birth So if you need a friend, I hope on Him you'll call He's better than any human friend He's the best friend of them all. |

Re: Book of Handwritten Poetry in Goodwill
Inspired by the young poetess whose work I shared with you, I was given the following by the Holy Spirit moments ago. While I do not have the talent of that woman, (and who could?), I trust this will bless you and lead you to a deeper walk with Christ.
Young Peter by BrotherLarry Young Peter is so wonderful He means the world to me I will be His brother in Jesus For all eternity I love to play with Peter, Be it Tetris or Bingo or Tag. He wins all the time - but graciously - And never calls me a fag. (Because of course I am not one) :wub: |

I've been trying to compose a poem, but I'm in a pickle. Can you think of a word that would rhyme with "dump"? I just cannot think of one! :wacko: |
