Morning Thought
As I lay in my bed
As the morning comes near
I look out the window
And see all the things
That God made here
I can see all the trees
That stand straight and tall
The pine needles on them
And how they do fall
The leaves on the trees
All shapes and sizes
And to know that God
Made all of every style
The rain that comes down
From the sky
To feed and cleanse
All things alive
Hurt
Sometimes I get hurt of things that are said.
Whether it’s true.
Or whether it’s a lie!
I know I have Jesus inside.
Help me through these lies.
That people seem to trive on inside.
I pray Father everyday.
To help me to be different.
From those that do say.
I ask my Father to help me with them.
Tell them to leave me alone wants again!
Why do they hurt the ones that try to be like you?
What, Lord that they want me to do?
They say they are Christians and go to church.
But why don’t they listen to your Mighty Word?
Don’t Doubt Thee
There are some that want to be.
And those that do not see.
When they learn the truth.
But still take their own route.
Why is it they want both ways.
Don’t they know it’s what God said.
The way can only come through Jesus
That died for us that day.
So those that are lost.
Please take a second thought.
Just give them a toss.
Wants you open up your heart.
That's when Jesus will start.
Jesus will lead the way so you won’t go astray.
Don’t be afraid there is nothing to fear.
Because God is always near.
He knows our thoughts and minds.
And he will teach us about this time.
Be aware he does care.
So take that choice to be with thee.
And God will open your eyes and you will see.
The Lord’s way is the best way to be.

About the Book
My husband and I have been born again Christians going on four years. God has gifted us both with poetry and song. God also gave me the courage to sing them aloud in churches. I find these songs to be messages to the world, to those in the dark. Some are prayers, and some are song expressions to touch hearts and souls. They are praises and for thanking God for reaching those on drugs and alcohol. Expressing awareness that God is real, and Jesus is his son and he does love us and hears our prayers. All we have to do is ask him in our hearts and to forgive us of our sins. The poem Holy Spirit sent a message about our house, being in sin and God proving it was true. God speaks nothing but truth. There always is a poem that expresses my true feelings about how I feel now being born again. I am a believer of Jesus Christ, Son of God and that he is always there! I hope these poems will help open your eyes and ears to the word of God. And you will follow his light to his everlasting life. We feel the poems are God’s messages to all the people in this world. I know he changed our life together. Praying to him daily and waiting on him to move. He always comes through. Not in our time, but in his time. Even when I feel down, I never stop praying to God. He always lifts me back up. I ask him daily to give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding so I can read the Bible and stand on his word. I ask for the understanding of parables. God uses our vessels to get his messages out through the poems and songs. I hope you find them a great up lift from God.
