Gratitude
“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.”
1 Timothy cap 1 v 12 NIV
I thank God, my Father, for this gift He has intrusted to me. I now have an opportunity to share the history, the gospel – to share it through my Poetry of God. I am thankful for the inspiration He gives me to write – as I sit down at the table to write poetry - You - God, are with me all the way.
I thank my family, my husband and our two girls. They are not where I am - in faith, but once an a while they listen to my excitement regarding what I receive from God. I thank them all for their support, as I am going public with Poetry of God.
Thank you, girls, for your ideas to promote my poetry. This journey has just begun.
A special thanks to Brian. In the fall of 2022 he very carefully asked me; “do you believe in God”? I now know God taped your shoulder, because I needed the word of God – and now in faith of God, I know what it means never to stand alone, even when the world falls apart around me. Since then, I have only received love.
Thank you for driving back and forth to our Bible Group meetings and for the many inspiring conversations. Thank you for sharing your history and being a witness to mine.
I thank each and everyone in my Bible Group.
Your knowledge, insight and presentation of what we read leaves me astonished and full of respect of your interpretations of the Word
Like a sword many of you cut to the core of the gospel and you bring light to what might seem difficult. I am thankful for the fellowship we share and our confidence. I feel the love of God from each one of you. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
I thank you – who read this. It has taken me a while to go public with Poetry of God – and send these very personally poems out in the world. Our world is changing and sometimes it is difficult to cope with these changes and find a solid foundation.
There is a foundation to be found, and I found it - believing in God. To have faith in God is a solid foundation; it leaves you safe in a world where everything and everybody seem to run so fast.
I want to encourage you to slow down, stop, find your special spot in nature and close your eyes. Breathe and feel….
Believe – you are not alone in this world.
Poems about gratitude
Thank You, God
When we ask – we shall receive
Because when we do
It proves that we believe
Thank You, God
When we seek – we will find
Because when we do
You will not leave us behind
Thank you, God
When we knock – the door will open
Because when we do
It is Your words being spoken
Thank You, God
When we knock, seek and ask
It all comes together – now we understand
The present, future and the past.
The purpose of life
What could it be
Living alone
Or having with You beside me
Knowing Your word
And living by Your will
Giving Your love to others
Your promise to fulfill
The purpose of life
Is having You in my heart
Makes my life worthwhile
We shall never live apart
Because I am in faith
Where You want me to be
You will show me the way
Because You live in me.
Thank you Father
I get the message now
I get it – You have shown me how
To get these poems out in the open
Without them
Your words through me
Will not be spoken
I thank the Holy Spirit for guidance
I thank you Jesus – you say
“don’t you rest in silence”
“Use the gift you are given”
“In the book it is written”
“We are always by your side”
“Speak up – you don’t have to hide”
My Father – My Lord above it all
Thank You for showing
This gift You have given – it isn’t small
Thank You – I know
You’ll guide me what to say
In time when I stand before you
Into your Kingdom come - I may
