From the Poem: It’s Not Easy
Get a Grip on Fear ~
Whenever fear begins,
messing with my head
when it fills up my heart
with anxiety and dread.
It’s when I go to Jesus,
to still the storm inside
soon the waves of fear
calmly start to subside.
Whenever fear grips me,
squeezing my very soul
when with it I battle
to take back control.
It’s when I go to Jesus,
for that stillness exceeding
soon the trembling I feel
starts peacefully receding.
Whenever fear creeps in,
just as it starts to invade
it’s when I go to Jesus . . .
for He makes me not afraid!
~~~~~~
“But as they sailed he fell asleep:
and there came down a storm of wind
on the lake; and they were filled
with water, and were in jeopardy.
And they came to him, and awoke him,
saying, Master, master, we perish.
Then he arose, and rebuked the wind
and the raging of the water:
and they ceased, and there was a calm.
And he said unto them,
Where is your faith?
And they being afraid wondered,
saying one to another,
What manner of man is this!
for he commandeth even the
winds and water, and they obey him.”

The Heart that Cries ~
The heart cries,
from deep within
with the tears of joy
from the shame of sin.
It knows to God,
it deserves nothing
but, has found now
He is its everything.
The heart weeps,
deep from the soul
with tears of joy
God now consoles.
It recognizes,
the need for God’s favor
sees His mercy through
the grace of a Savior.
For, the heart mournful,
over its sins
is the heart that . . .
Jesus truly wins!

“For godly sorrow
worketh repentance
to salvation
not to be repented of:
but the sorrow of the
world worketh death.

Finding the Truth ~
When the Word of God,
is your daily bread
your spiritual hunger
will be fed.
When in your Bible,
you each day abide
your spiritual thirst
will be supplied.
When you soak up,
all the Good News
your life it’ll shape
if you so choose.
When the Scriptures,
you learn and memorize
you’ll see right through
satan’s disguise.
When you saturate,
your heart and mind
in the Word of God . .. .
the truth you will find!

“Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.”

Tweet This ~
I’ve a message,
that I’ll be texting
to all my friends
my faith I’ll be flexing.
I will make it quick,
maybe just tweet it
I know the words
in the criteria will fit.
I will make it fast,
just a few characters
my message will meet
all the parameters.
It won’t take too long,
to tweet or text if off
some will understand it
other’s may just scoff.
It’s really quite simple,
this message I will send
Jesus loves you
and died to be your friend!

“Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man
lay down his life
for his friends.”

Once Again Reborn ~
Today, I was feeling,
quite weary and down
I needed something
to turn my thoughts around.
So, I took out my Bible,
and I began to read
God’s every promise
to supply all I need.
Today, I was thinking,
I needed a faith lift
for mine seem to be
in some kind of drift.
So, I read the Scriptures,
about Jesus in the storm
and soon my every thought
He began to transform.
Today I was feeling,
spiritually forlorn . . .
but, as I read the Good News
I felt once again reborn!
~~~~~~
“Being born again,
not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible,
by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth
for ever.”

~ The Reason for My Hope ~
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

What Can Man Do?
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
