Poetry For Christians

He's Waiting

The last breath

Fleeting softly from my lips

You slipped slowly from my body

Then I felt It!

The Peace beyond all understanding

It is good! Very Good!

All of life I waited

You have come

I am a tender lamb

who has found his rest

surrounded by your loving arms

after the last breath.

A Servant's Heart

My heart speaks

I must be less

He must be more

Saturating my being

The Holy Spirit gives

To all who ask

The Holy Spirit knows our needs

Needs given unto maturity

Stripping off the stone

Replaced with caring flesh

Giving all

Receiving little

Maturity abounds

As we pass through

Experience teaches

The disciple reflects

On learning observed

Providing understanding

For future days

Looking out

Battling on

Retreating Not

From Others needs

In the end

A servant's heart

Pure and clean.

Come Back To Jesus, Your First Love

So, it has been my intent to start this blog for quite a while now, but I have been dragging my feet. I believe that it has been mostly out of fear. However, I know that our Father is love and perfect love casts out fear. I want to be an encouragement to those who will be reading as well as desiring your encouragement too. So, I will be courageous and move forward trusting in the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. First, I wanted to describe my first love of Jesus in the beginning. I wasn't "On Fire" as some have said, or others saying, "I know the exact date I was born again!" Mine was a simple, childlike, and trusting faith yet, I felt distant from God. However, I believe that everyone's journey of coming to know Jesus is unique. I have believed in Jesus for over fifty years now, and the honest truth is that I have struggled with ups and downs in the doubts department (saved/not saved, loved/not loved by the Father, etc..). Do you have strug

Be Thankful

"Live in the moments of today for tomorrow holds no guarantee." A Simple Phrase Have you ever taken this one to heart? I believe that a majority in this world whether they are Christians or Non-Christians ever really do. My thoughts are that this phrase should encompass the idea of being thankful. I will lay out some of my thankful thoughts and after I have I would hope you would share some of yours in the comments section. The first thought I am mindful of is my salvation. I am incredibly great full for the movement of the Holy Spirit in my heart over fifty years ago and his bringing me to a somewhat mature stage in my life today. The moments of silence in the morning is one gift that I treasure so much. It is a time for meeting with God, my Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I talk with them and express my heart. I pray for my family, friends, and others that come to mind. Another is recognizing the importance of the simple phrase up above. The mome

Come Back To Jesus, Your First Love Part 2

So, we are back on the road again exploring what it means to make Jesus our first love. I remember that we love because Jesus loved us enough to die for us on the cross. I know that the Holy Spirit lives in me. I'm so trying to understand more and more. I am not trying to make excuses. I am what I am. I am looking for help and understanding from other believers who might shed some light about coming back to our first love. In this journey of life (I am now seventy years old), it has been a growing process of learning how to love God, our Father as well as Jesus the Son for I had a distant type of relationship with my earthly father. However, now, after many years reading the Bible, prayer, reflection, etc.., I am changing and seeking how to come to Jesus and love him more. My Simple Prayer: Help me Jesus to treasure you more, to value you more, help me love you more. Until next time, Love Pete
