A Joyful Life || Poem|| Deborah Ann

Life is more joyful,

when in God we trust

it is more fruitful

when He’s working in us.

It is more pleasurable,

when we let God lead

it is more bearable

when to His laws we heed.

Life is more joyful,

when in God we trust

it is more fruitful

when He’s in control of us.

It is more enjoyable,

when God shows the way

it is more gratifying

when to Him we pray.

Life is more joyful,

when we are still

it is more fruitful

when we do His will!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 37:4-5 (KJV)
“Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he
shall bring it to pass.”

Without God"s Mercy|| Poem ||Deborah Ann Belka

Without God’s mercy,

I would be pitiful

without His favor

I would be miserable.

 

Without His compassion,

I wouldn’t be sympathetic

without His humbleness

I wouldn’t be apologetic.

 

Without God’s clemency,

I would be hopeless

without God’s patience

I would be useless.

 

Without His mildness,

I would not be forgiving

without His tenderness

I would not be accepting.

 

Without God’s mercy,

I would be deplorable

without His favor

I would be just horrible!

 

Colossians 3:12-13

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God

holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,

kindness, humbleness of mind,

meekness, longsuffering;

 

Forbearing one another, and forgiving

one another, if any man have a quarrel

against any: even as Christ forgave

you, so also do ye.”

"Save A Life Today" By Deborah Ann

You can be a witness,

for our Lord and Savior

by sharing with others

His grace, love and favor.

Your words can be,

a testament to your belief

they can bring to another

a sense of peace and relief.

Your actions can speak,

volumes, if you will

for they can show others

how to wait and be still.

Your praise can display,

your devotion to the Lord

it may help a lost soul

to the truth, get on board.

Your wounds and scars,

can be a testimony

that He who healed them

is real and not a phony.

You can be a witness,

for your Lord and Savior

you can save a life today . . .

by your words and behavior!

Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me
both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth.”

King James Version

"Understanding God"s Peace" By Deborah Ann

There is a peace in my heart,

surpassing my understanding

but every day I can feel . . .

it growing and expanding.

It is a gift Jesus gave me,

the day I came to believe

and the closer I get to Him

the more of it I receive.

It’s not the kind of peace I feel,

when everything is going well

but I sense it’s from knowing

where the Holy Spirit dwells.

It’s a peace void of bitterness,

resentment and hostility

this calmness that I feel . . .

has no room for animosity.

There is a peace in my heart,

giving me understanding . . .

and the more I seek God’s will

the more it keeps expanding!

Isaiah 26:3

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
 because he trusteth in thee.”
