Inspiration and Hope
These poems were written for encouragement and insight of precious heavenly things, with the goal in mind that after reading them the mind will be left in a blessed state of peace. The words written came from wisdom and knowledge found in the Word of God, which are Spirit and Life. The things that are spirit are impossible for the human mind to understand on its own, without understanding given, precious insights into heavenly things can never be seen. The mind of man is simple and can not understand the things of God; we need Him to reveal spiritual things to us. God's word is absolute truth and the entrance of His word we are given light which we help the simple to understand. Heavenly things are things pertaining to things far up above the reach of human minds
God's ways and thoughts are much higher than ours so it takes us to continue to pray, read and meditate until the understanding of the truth comes. God would have all men come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved. Many people give up by thinking heavenly things are not meant for us to know or understand but that is far from the truth. Heavenly things can be compared to treasures that have been buried. We must seek them to find them. If we dig for them but not far enough to reach the treasure that is buried, then we will never find it! This is the same way it is with God's word. His word is a treasure book that brings light into the darkness and gives understanding to the simple. If we want to find we must seek God with our whole heart and come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth came down from heaven to us. But we must seek Him as the wise men did to find Him.
Through much prayer, study and meditation on what I have read in the Word of God, the understanding came so I could write these poems in a simple form
I cherish the thought of my home in glory, And the hope that has been put into my heart. It came from reading the scriptures and trusting the words of the One who does not and cannot lie. He promised eternal life for all those who would believe in the One He sent ,"Jesus Christ our Lord" He is my blessed hope. I tried everything on my own in my life, to make me feel safe, until I lost all hope in myself to bring me to a place of feeling secure. I found nothing in this life is secure, and not even our tomorrows are promised to us in this earth. And life is too short on this earth to believe that, that is the only time we were meant to be alive. Through reading the scriptures and hearing and believing them, I have received faith to believe in life everlasting. A home that awaits me in glory, a place I will go to when my time on this earth is done. I kind of imagined when I leave this world to go to my home in glory, it will be like a seed planted in the ground that blooms right into its heavenly place. Right at home! Eternal Joy and Peace awaits the ones who keep the faith in the Blessed Hope, that we have been given. Jesus has been given so the hopeless could have hope. He is hope for the world. And for those who have placed their trust in Him, He is leading and guiding us and has given us grace to help us on this journey, and will bring us safely home to glory.
