I also have written some spiritual thoughts and devotionals, so thought I would post some of those, too. I have more of those than of poems. All Things to God, by Debp I cannot be all things to people, I must be all things to God... And God all things to me. Only then can I be What God would have me to be... To others and myself. 8 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those thoughts have led me to this morning's brief look ups and short study and to pondering Paul's message to the church members at Corinth. 1 Corinthians 9 1 Corinthians 15 Thanks again hope you will be led to share more of your personal works.

There is a very real and important truth here that once learned by experience is life changing. The “all” of God and the “nothing” of us. A quite real poem. Thanks for sharing it!

So happy you took my suggestion and posted one of your poems! I love it. It deals with an important truth in a direct and wonderful manner. It comes from the heart. I can see that this is something God revealed to you. It is a truth we all must see (as well as practice) at some point in our Christian walk. Sooner is better. Thanks for sharing it! I look forward to others. Also, the spiritual thoughts and devotionals! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will add more things slowly. Looking Unto Jesus, by Debp No matter what happens in life...keep trusting and looking to Jesus. He will get us through the trials. If we get our eyes on the trials, then those will be the only type of things we see in life, and our lives can then become quite sad or only negative. The trials will pass...keep looking to Jesus. 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of feeling badly about what happened, we think "Oh Lord, I forgive him/her"...and I find that does help to take the sting out of the matter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As God has ministered to us, we minister to others, sincerely, from our hearts. Suffering, by Debp After the suffering is past, we often see the hand of God, how He worked it all out for our good. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me, Lord, to acknowledge You in everything that I say and do. For it's only by Your Spirit that Your power will descend, drawing hearts and minds to unity, lest any should offend. And it's only by acknowledging Your power and my need, and in humbly seeking Your presence in my life, that I can live the life You give, and help others find the Christ. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
