In the midst of a darkened world,
keep your light of hope up.
In the midst of people with evil minds,
keep kindness high up to the top.

As we wander through the valleys of death,
we shall fear no evil.
As the Lord's staff and rod will comfort us,
and keep us on the way toward eternity.

To have this personal one and one relationship with Christ growing, and see it growing in others, is a blessing beyond all measure.

Knowing that we are each other’s eternal treasures, that Christ being formed in us, is the “greater than these miracles shall you do”. For God, the Creator of all things, being formed in a creature, for nothing in all creation can be greater than the manifestation of God Himself.

Be so blessed as He makes Himself more alive and real in us and to us each and every day.

In the Beloved, Not me

Now I also just wrote this poem in my journal, it isn't written in "we" term but in "one" term, hope this is okay?

Eternity is True Win!

In a world,
where everything have gone wrong.
Where true kindness and love is cast away,
because of people's selfish ways.

In a world,
where hatred and evil is fed.
Where good is seen through the beholder of the eye,
and where life is changed out with holding on a grudge and then to die.

As the will of a human,
rises above the will of God.
Desiring more one's own ways,
than the ways of the Lord.

The human which desires more going their own way,
will lead one's self towards destruction and death.
As the way of man,
seems right to him.

But it is only in God's will,
that one will truly live!
As in Him there is life,
life abundantly!

And He satisfies the soul,
with good things.
One will never thirst again,
one will never go hungry!

But with the Lord,
one will be filled by Him for eternity!
And in Him,
one will lack nothing!

In the Lord Jesus,
we will be given everything we need!

Very nice, the “one” and the “we”
are dependent on the subject and what is being expressed or wanting to be expressed... In this case one is the best to convey the meaning. Thanks for sharing your new poem. :)

I only mentioned it because of the possibility of more than two party’s being involved and the hearts that might be of tender age. Only growth in and towards Christ is of value and any possibility of remotely causing trepidation would be cause for concern. Henceforth my bringing forth the thought.

Anyways lovely poem and may God continue to cause increase.

In Christ, Not me

Sufferings are given blessings.

When we are mocked,
because of our faith in Christ.
We should rise up in great joy,
because great is our price in Him.

Our true hope is in Christ,
He is the anchor of our faith.
In Him we are safely saved,
in Him we are promised eternal life.

When we encounter trials,
we shouldn't be surprised.
As the testing of our faith is at hand,
and the refining process of God is at work.

We should learn to rejoice,
when we encounter trials of different kinds.
As through trials we learn more patience,
and by this we also will be strenghtened more in endurance.

When we suffer for our faithfulness to Christ,
we should be encouraged.
As our time of sufferings are short lasting, compared to the coming eternity awaiting us.

In our given struggles,
God is at work with us.
Even through our times of troubles,
we are blessed by Him beyond measure.

So we must not give up,
but keep on running the race set before us.
We must not give up the fight,
even though the Lord goes before us.

As the battle is the Lord's,
and He directs our steps.
Our fight isn't fought alone,
as He fights for us!

In our most darkest times,
He shines in our midst.
And the times we may feel alone,
He is there comforting us with His staff and rod.

Thank you!

As a friend of mine told me; Often the blessings given are seen in our struggles.

This world is more focused on our own successes, weaknesses doesn't fit with pride. As a strong person seen through the world's eyes, can't show much weakness.

The apostle Paul talked about how Jesus's strenght is made perfect in his weakness. Whilst we as humans would like having control in our own strenght, when we are helpless and broken in ourselves, God's power through Jesus Christ's strenght is made perfect in us. As at this point we no longer depend on nor trust in ourselves, but we will learn that depending on as well as trusting fully in God is what's best for us!

God keep on blessing you! Much Love in Christ Jesus! :sparkles:

This here if you wouldn’t mind me saying so, can only be learned by experience. This in itself is our everything before God or maybe better said our nothing before God.

This is the lesson, as we grow in God, will forever (in the body) being made more real and in and to a deeper degree. This is the doorway to a true, real, and living spirituality before God, the “All of God and the nothing of us.” Once this is seen and tasted even to a small degree, Heaven is open before the heart of man and feeding one’s personal relationship with Christ takes it’s proper place.

Be so blessed as He makes Himself more and more real in us and to us,

I have found as I walk daily,that not only am I strengthened but that I am softened and sweetened in Him.

The FRUIT of the Spirit greatly changes a person when we walk in obedience.Goodness flows from a heart that submits to God fully,embracing the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit!

I cannot fathom how Christian ppl walk continually in angst,anger,bitterness,unforgiveness, and negativity.

Those that do not know Jesus personally, walk in hurt,lonliness,anxiety, depression and sin,these I do understand. They have only to turn to Him to find relief.

May I be a bright light that glows warmer each day to bear witness of how knowing God can change a person!


Thank you @Crowned Princess and @Not me for the blessings you have been to me!

In Christ you are more than welcome. :)

For we, of a surety, are each other’s treasures in Christ. The forming of Himself in us, is all things, for it is for the express purpose of expressing God’s love one towards another... You are on your course as the self-evident-ness of your writings manifest. We are all one in Christ....May He magnify Himself greatly in those that would have Him. Oh that our hearts, like yours, would ache for Him even more...

Be so blessed and may He fill your heart with Himself in a new and awesome way, and in such a way as the blind may see.

A fellow servant of His, Not me

Nothing in all creation can there possibly be, than getting, nearer, to my (our) God...

May God bless the new year with Himself, and make Himself known beyond all measure.

Also to remind ourselves that whilst we were still sinners and undeserving of forgiveness, Jesus Christ died for us. And God the Father forgives us through Him. Not because we deserved any of this! As we were all bad and wicked by hearts, we deserved death and to being judged for our sins.

So if God can forgive us through Jesus Christ, even when we still struggle with sinning on earth, and we are not perfect, why shouldn't we do the same to others?

Whilst we may think others did something awfully bad to us, God will point at our own sin towards Him. As we all transgressed against Him in our own ways, and only through Jesus Christ are we seen as clean and approved by God the Father.

Luke 6:36

"You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate."

Such a blessing and a reminder to the calling, to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is prefect. A call for grace upon grace.

Be blessed as we, as He, causes us to walk in such a truth, Not me

and a truth that does convict the heart on so many levels.

Promise of full rest.

O'child of God,
even though there is no rest to be found here on earth.
You will be given rest,
in His everlasting Kingdom.

You are promised full life in Him,
and you will shine in His presence.

O'child of God,
remember your price in Christ.
This should be more costly to you,
than this life on earth.

Have your eyes on Him,
who gave His life for you.

O'child of God,
dearly beloved one of Him.
