Predstav si kopec a dolinu alebo sínusoidu. Keď sme dole v životnom období treba letieť hore. Keď sme už hore na tom našom vrchole, kde zrazu je všetko tak krásne tak treba pevne stáť. Aaa keď padneš, leť opäť.

“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes 1:2 NIV ~ The book of Ecclesiastes illustrates the view of a man who sees no meaning in the things we toil for. Reading through this book of the bible reminded me that so many times I place value in things that are meaningless, temporary, and vain. But the greatest commandment in the bible has nothing to do with my wealth, status or labour. The greatest commandment is love. Therefore, the greatest thing I can sow into this world is the love Jesus sowed for me. #love #toil #labour #wealth #seed #meaningless #disciples #greatestcommandment #Jesus #savedtolove #christianpoetry #christosnwriting #poetry #poetrysk #poet #sk #yxe #heartstringspoetrysk

Dear Saviour, Please grant us the grace to not look at ourselves as an explanation of Your love. For You have embraced us regardless of who we were and what we have done. You have loved us regardless of how many times we have fallen and given us the grace to return to You. Each day, the radiance of Your love shines. Help us not to look at ourselves as an explanation of Your love but marvel at a Saviour who could love us this much. • Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

I pray for you. You are not alone, not in the darkness, not in the brilliance of light. I abide with you, I encompass you. I wrap My hands around you and call you My own.

For I am here, to guide you into the glory of My marvelous light. • "For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again."

When God first gave me this poem, this is what He reminded me. Sometimes we are presented with a cloud or a fog which God asks us to pass through. However, their appearance hinders us from seeing what lies within and beyond. For many of us, fear cripples us before we even enter. We're too afraid of the journey, of our own ability, and of what lies beyond. What we fail to see and recognize is that God resides in every step we take. Every particle of air, before we enter, in the midst of it and thereafter. Do not be afraid, God is with you. • For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 NIV #cloud #fog #fear #faith #trust #help #journey #christian #christianwriter #christianpoetry #poetry #poem #writer #writing #poetrysk #poet #poetsk #theheartstrings
When God called Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, Moses gave God valid reasons why he might have trouble completing this task. But God is aware of your weaknesses upon calling you (@iammiketodd), but He calls you STILL. As I was reading this scripture, God reminded me to stop looking at myself to determine the success of a thing and rather focus on the One who gaurantees success in Him. Leave everything in His hands for He is faithful and He will never fail. • The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV #thecalling #called #faithful #faith #success #overcomer #victorious #strength #weak #weaknesses #christian #youth #chosen #christianpoetry #christianwriter #poet #poetry #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
Imagine yourself in a wilderness journey. It's dark, you are surrounded by trees and there is a great fog hindering you from seeing far ahead. You become afraid, stumbling and falling on the ground as you desperately try to find a way out. You are crying out for Jesus. Where is Jesus? He is on the side, reading a newspaper as you freak out stumbling around, trying to find your way out without Him but are just going in endless circles. You have not left His presence, you just do not realize that you are in it. You're too busy being scared, worried and anxious when Jesus is right there on the side, simply waiting for you to rest in His presence. You need to calm down, dissipate the fears inside of you and just rest there. If Jesus has not moved then you must remain there until He instructs you otherwise. It is the act of your sitting down, gaining peace and remaining calm in your wilderness that captures the attention of Jesus. This is what pleases Him. • • Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV #fear #courageous #faith #strong #righthere #Iam #neverleave #neverforsake #youarenotalone #keepfighting #His #beloved #overcomer #trustGod #faithful #Christ #trusttheprocess #mighttosave #Helovesyou #christian #youth #poet #poetry #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
My prayer for you. May God grant you success in all your journeys with Him and may His name alone be glorified and magnified in Jesus Name. • • But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

Sometimes there is this fear in us that God won't love us for who we truly are. So we pretend to be alright, we pretend to not be broken, we hide the tears inside and present to Him a smile. How futile, when He already sees into the depths of our souls. He yearns to comfort us, dwell with us, be with us. So I beg of you today, present the rawest form of yourself always to God. Be authentic. • casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. 1 Peter 5:7 AMP #fear #anxiety #worries #identity #maskoff #authenticity #love #yes #His #beloved #Godsspecialpossession #gift #Hecares #Come #christian #christianpoetry #christianwriter #youth #chosen #poetry #poet #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
When your weakness causes your legs to give out from beneath you, land on your knees in prayer. Seek God in your greatest trials, heartbreaks, pain, and exhaustion. He shall surely stretch His hands out to reach you. • • My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Do you become someone else when you do not hear the voice of God? Does your love for God lose its potency? Do you worship less and get drawn into the things of this world? Who do you become when you do not hear God? What do you do in His silence? • • Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

What situation have others declared dead in your life? What dreams have you given up on that God planted in your heart? Do not look at your circumstance, do not look at situation, simply trust the Lord your God who wields resurrection power.

In this world we will have trials and tribulations. Though we will overcome them, it may take time. In the time of waiting it is easiest to fall. The devil strikes at our weaknesses, pain, and sorrow. But the greatest part of developing a relationship with God is that He remains. He listens as we share the experiences of our wilderness journey with Him. He guides us, though the thorn still remains at our side. He sits with us in the rain as we pass through our storm. He is a God that never leaves or forsakes His children. ~ ~ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NIV #grateful #blessed #trial #tribulation #wildernessjourney #Godisgood #faithful #fear #pain #shame #guilt #sorrow #anxiety #thorn #mentalhealth #christian #youth #chosen #His #christianpoetry #christianwriter #poet #poetry #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
Aren't you grateful to God that He would do anything and everything to have you by His side?

Do you ever forget who you are? What you are capable of? What great strength lies within you? Does the enemy ever define you as weak, insignificant, worthless?

Part 3 • When we have committed a sin and fallen short of the glory of God, that is when the devil takes advantage of the crack in our shield. He will make us feel so ashamed that we can barely stand in the presence of our Saviour. But no matter what we have done, what we have been through, the trial or the circumstance, He will always bring us back to His throne of grace. We are all products of grace and His love covers all. Do not let the devil keep you from the presence of God. Do not let his lies convince you, God does not want you anymore. Do not allow him to make you feel inadequate. No matter what happens, no matter what you go through, return to God's throne of grace. • • He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.

In the silence of God's presence, our anxious spirits grow restless, opening cracks for the devil to implant seeds of doubt and of fear. But if only we could maintain our ground, continue to build our faith even in the shadows of darkness. Believing that even though He feels absent, He still remains. If we could only use this opportunity to seek Him more, dwell in Him, and let His word minister onto us without a shadow of doubt, we would see the wonders in the shadows. We would see that though it feels like darkness, we remain in the shadows, under His wings. • • “The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul; “Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word].

What are you holding onto that God has already forgiven you for? It's like there this small book we keep in our minds, recollecting our past mistakes. However, you are so much more than your past mistakes, your regrets and the circumstances of your life. God calls you His beloved and chose to forgive you. Choose to forgive yourself. • This is an excerpt from my poem titled "The Condemnation of Self".

You progression, is a process of time. Motion is a series of steps. Do not become overwhelmed with how long it is taking you to get from point A to B. With God, each step has a purpose. Look onto God and hold onto hope. • • The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord .

There are never enough words to fully express God's love for you and I. His love is in the rising of each sun, the sparkling of each star, the dancing of the wind, the roaring of the waves, the peace from within, the hand that holds yours in every storm. His love is displayed to us each day, in every way. Ask God for the grace to hear it, to see it, to feel His love. But know that despite this, His love for you can never be fully expressed. • • The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

The world is filled with noise, with distractions, people constantly pulling at you. But sometimes you must seclude yourself in the stillness of God. In that time of quiet where it is just you and Him you will find serenity and peace. • • Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

An excerpt from my spoken word yesterday, titled 'The Condemnation of Self'. Look forward to the full poem on my Facebook page! 😁 • Sometimes we don't feel internally beautiful though God is trying to show us that we are. We need to also focus our attention on loving ourselves and who we are. We need to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we've made and those we might make in the future. Don't hold onto anything God has let go of. • If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 NIV #forgive #forgiveness #letgo #letGod #burdens #chains #condemnation #love #loved #loveyourself #faith #youareHis #youareloved #christian #Christ #youth #christianpoetry #christianwriter #poet #poetry #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
We are all fighting battles that others may never understand. We have fought to get to the place that we are now and we may still be fighting. Do not judge someone for the battle they are fighting, you do not know what they have been through. Do not compare battles, for each one is uniquely designed. Instead give each other strength as we wake up each day battle ready. Support one another, encourage one another so that we might all come out victorious. • • Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV #fight #battle #strength #support #weareone #courage #victorious #Christ #youarenotalone #chosen #His #loved #love #faith #hope #christian #God #youth #christianpoetry #christianwriter #poet #poetry #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #new_born_poets #theheartsstrings
Do not fear the storm, do not fear the darkness, do not fear the trials, the obstacles, the tribulations. In the darkest of times, focus your eyes on the Lord for He is the light that will guide you home. ~ When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world.

We are the result of time. In order for us to bloom, we must wait patiently for our season. The time it takes you to grow is inevitable. The question is, what will you do with it? What will you do as you patiently wait, buried beneath the soil? Wait patiently my love, for the Lord has not forgotten you. It all just takes time. • • “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

It's so easy to feel inadequate in a world that is constantly comparing you to something else. You're constantly chasing someone else's expectations of you. Do you know that God put thought into your creation? He placed in you things that you cannot find in someone else. Stop trying to become someone you were never created to be. Start loving you and who you are. Your very existent was planned. God did not place you on this earth to become someone else. Love who you are. ~ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV #love #loved #identity #unique #loveyourself #trustGod #His #faith #goodness #hope #christian #Christ #Hediedforyou #Helovesyou #alone #afraid #overcomer #faithful #victorious #christianwriter #christianpoetry #poetry #poet #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
Why is it so much easier for us to imagine ourselves failing than it is to imagine ourselves succeeding? We get so caught up in the things that could go wrong we don't spend time focusing on the things that could go right. We hear the doubts of others, we present the doubts to ourselves, our enemies plant the seeds and now we don't have faith anymore we have fear. We have doubt, we have shame, we have the ghost of past mistakes coming back to haunt us. We are now incapable of seeing what we can be because we're too busy focused on what we are not. Why are you so focused on the negative and the things you cannot do? God didn't make a mistake calling you. Do not look at the obstacles ahead, look at the God above. That's when you start walking in faith instead of fear. ~ Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

We have spent too long in a captivity that was not meant for us. Too long in trials that were only there to make us stronger but somehow broke us. Too long in the mistakes of the past. Too long allowing the enemy to overtake us and claim victory to our souls. Too long not knowing who we are in Christ. Too many times falling but not enough standing up. Enough is enough. We are God's children and it is about time we take our rightful places. Arise. ~ Wake up, wake up, O Zion! Clothe yourself with strength. Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem, for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer. Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Sit in a place of honor. Remove the chains of slavery from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our weakness, imperfections, and shortcomings that we let them define us. We let the past define us. We let the voices of others define us. And in the midst of this we forget who we are. All we see is failure. We have blanketed our garden of Eden with snow. So we tremble in the cold unaware that we are the sun that can bring restoration back to our land. Trust God. Hold onto who you are. Hold onto who He says you are. Do not believe the words. Do not dwell on past mistakes, recognize that you are worth so much more than what anyone else is telling you are. You are priceless my love. Awaken your Eden. ~ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Part 6 ~ Life is hard and sometimes God leaves you in the storm for it is the only way you will learn to tackle the things to come. We can get so overwhelmed by everything happening around us that we forget to look up. God remains with us in the storm, though the waters rage. He is there and He never leaves or abandons His children. Do not let the storm convince you otherwise. You are not alone. You are child of the most High and you are beloved. No matter what life throws your way, remember that God remains with you in the storm. ~ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

Sometimes God doesn't deliver us from the storm. He lets it rage on and resides with us there. He lets the storm form us into the person we need to be for the next journey of life. We may not understand the purpose of the season that we are in but we must trust the God that knows the beginning to the end. Jesus already showed us what to do in the storm; rest. Remain in the presence of God and let the storm build you. ~ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

The enemy constantly tries to take things from us that he has no claim over: joy, happiness, fulfillment, worth etc. He deceives the minds of men to think that he holds the power to them all but he has no such authority. We must realize the trespassers in our land and send them out or they'll convince you that the land belongs to them and you have no claim to it. Recognize your enemy, recognize his lack of authority and recognize the God you serve who owns it all. Who has claimed your land? Reclaim it! ~ Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 NIV #trespassers #land #authority #faith #trust #enemy #saved #loved #christian #youth #christianwriters #christianpoetry #poetry #poet #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
God spoke to me yesterday and told me, "Do not hate the image of yourself during the process". I was reminded of the image of a road construction zone. During construction the road is torn up and the once formed road is destroyed. Sometimes that's the stage of life that we're in, the process of creating something new. We don't look the way we used to and we have not yet been created in the image God envisioned for us. We're in the process of breaking but despite how others view us during that process, God sees beauty. Why? He sees a broken soul, a broken vessel ready for construction, for the creation of something new. So despite what you see now, despite what others see during your time of construction remember that it is God that is rebuilding you. The same God who created the heavens and the earth. So, if you ask me, you are in best of hands. ~ In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen. 1 Peter 5:10-11 NLT #speaklifepoetry #loved #process #constrictionzone #workinprogress #trusttheprocess #trustGod #love #faith #faithful #hope #identity #creation #worth #christian #christianpoetry #youth #poetry #poet #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
It saddens my heart to hear and to see how many of us feel so alone. The devil whispers into our ears lies trying to mask them as the truth. I know that the purpose of this platform God has created with my poetry is to constantly remind myself as well as others the He loves us. I pray that God showers you with His love. I pray that every wrong thought and mindset that the enemy has planted inside of you is uprooted. I pray that you see the vision God has for you and run with it. I pray that God opens your eyes to see you as you are. I pray that you bloom in all your broken place and I pray that you remember that you are light not darkness. Amen. ~ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 NIV #chosen #His #love #faith #hope #identity #vision #focusonGod #trusttheprocess #Heisfaithful #God #Christ #christian #christianpoetry #poetry #poet #poetsk #poetrysk #yxe #writer #writing #sk #theheartsstrings
