A Purposeful Path

Our faith journey, not always easy, yet purposeful and true,

Following Jesus, embracing challenges, sacrifices in view.

Called to set aside desires, ambitions, align with God’s will,

To live selflessly, sacrificially, His purpose to fulfill.

Recognizing our limitations, on God’s strength we rely,

Humble hearts, open to His guidance, revelation from on high.

Jesus teaches, lose your life for His sake, and you will save,

A paradox of eternal values, over temporary gains we crave.

In His kingdom, what truly matters, we seek to prioritize,

Eternal truths, over fleeting moments, in His love we rise.

Our journey, though not always easy, is filled with divine grace,

Walking with Jesus, in His light, we find our sacred place.

Faith in Action

Genuine faith, a beacon bright,

Reflects God’s love, His guiding light.

Not just in words, but deeds we show,

His righteousness, in us, must grow.

Our beliefs, not mere theory’s claim,

But lived out loud, in Jesus’ name.

Dependence on God, our humble plea,

His grace, the source of all we see.

It’s not enough to wish goodwill,

We must take steps, our hearts to fill.

To support, uplift, and truly care,

In every act, His love we share.

Love thy neighbor, the Bible’s call,

In serving others, we stand tall.

If one lacks, and we do naught,

Our faith, in question, is then caught.

Compassionate hearts, proactive hands,

In Christ’s love, our faith expands.

Align our lives with spiritual sight,

In every moment, shine His light.

Moments of Distress and Fear

In moments of distress and fear,

Trials and Sufferings

In trials and in suffering, we tread this earthly way,

With faith and trust in God, we find strength each day.

Though abuse and humiliation may come our way,

We stand firm in our faith, come what may.

Humility and compassion, virtues we hold dear,

In the face of adversity, we show no fear.

Responding with grace, kindness we impart,

Even when wronged, we offer a loving heart.

God, our advocate, in Him we confide,

Through every trial, He stands by our side.

Justice and vindication, He will bring in time,

Encouraging us to remain faithful, in His love we climb.

Listening and obeying, even when it’s tough,

God’s commands we follow, His guidance is enough.

Spiritual growth we seek, over comforts that fade,

In God’s wisdom, our decisions are made.

Daily we seek His wisdom, in actions and in prayer,

With hearts attentive, we know He is there.

Through suffering and challenges, our faith does not sway,

For in God’s eternal love, we find our way.

Hypocrisy A Dangerous Snare

As disciples of Christ, we strive each day,

To reflect His teachings in every way.

With hearts full of love and hands that serve,

We show His compassion, His grace preserve.

Before we judge, we look within,

To cleanse our hearts, to shed our sin.

In humility, we find our place,

With self-awareness, we seek His face.

Hypocrisy, a dangerous snare,

Misguides our actions, leads to despair.

But with integrity, our faith we show,

Authentic and true, in Christ we grow.

When correction’s needed, with love we speak,

With understanding hearts, the humble seek.

To help, not harm, with empathy’s touch,

We guide with care, we love so much.

Seek guidance from the wise and true,

Those who reflect Christ in all they do.

With mentors strong, our faith will rise,

In their wisdom, we grow, we become wise.

Pains to Blessings

In trials, God transforms our pain,

To blessings, like refreshing rain.

In His power, we place our trust,

From hardships, He brings good, He must.

As sparrows find their safe abode,

And swallows rest from their long road,

We too find peace, secure and near,

When close to God, we cast our fear.

True joy and fulfillment we find,

In worship, with a heart aligned.

Those strong in God, on journeys start,

With blessings filling every heart.

So let us seek His presence sweet,

In prayer, worship, at His feet.

Through reading His Word, day by day,

In God’s embrace, we choose to stay.

With Purpose and Grace

We should live our lives with clear goals and direction,

Focusing on what truly matters, with heartfelt affection.

Avoiding aimlessness, pursuing spiritual goals with might,

Determined and steadfast, walking in the light.

Discipline and self-control, our guiding stars,

Our mission essential, not optional, by far.

Embracing responsibilities with urgency and care,

With dedication and understanding, we fulfill our prayer.

Of Christ’s love and servanthood, in every direction.

God is fully aware of every aspect of our lives,

He knows our actions, thoughts, and unspoken desires.

This truth, both comforting and humbling,

Assures us we are never alone,

For God understands us completely.

Since He knows everything about us,

We can approach Him with honesty and openness.

No need to hide our true selves,

For in His presence, we are fully known.

Recognizing we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,”

Boosts our self-worth, reminds us of our unique value.

Our existence, a result of God’s careful design,

Inspires gratitude and reverence for the life we’ve been given.

Let us appreciate our bodies, the gift of life,

Always examining ourselves, seeking God’s guidance.

In identifying and correcting our flaws,

We strive for a life aligned with His will and righteousness.

Knowing God is always with us,

Aware of our circumstances,

Provides immense comfort and strength,

Especially during challenging times.

Love Over Knowledge

Knowledge can sometimes lead to pride, 

But love builds up, it edifies. 

While knowledge shines, love must guide, 

In every heart, let love reside.

Even with freedom in our hand, 

Consider how our actions land. 

Be empathetic, kind, and true, 

Ensuring others’ well-being too.

Humility and compassion’s call, 

Prioritize others, great and small. 

Not just to be right, but to care, 

In every interaction, love to share.

One God, one Lord, our faith’s strong base, 

Guiding our steps, our life’s embrace. 

Stay focused on this sacred bond, 

Let actions reflect love profound.

Set aside your own desires, 

For others’ spiritual fires.

How love and compassion should be.

Obedient to His call, even when it’s tough,

Stepping out of comfort, when the road is rough.

Above the rules, where mercy gains. 

The Sabbath’s rest, a sacred space, 

For reflection, love, and God’s embrace.

Intentions pure, motives clear, 

Are we driven by love, or by fear? 

To do what’s right, to help, to care, 

In every act, let love be there.

Sin’s Ripple

Sin should not be taken lightly,

Its shadow spreads, affecting all,

A humble heart, contrite and rightly,

Seeks God’s forgiveness when we fall.

A small sin can taint the whole,

A community’s peace, it can disrupt,

But discipline, fair and whole,

Restores the sinner, lifts them up.

Regardless of one’s status high,

Discipline must be applied,

In love, it aims to rectify,

And bring the lost back to God’s side.

In difficult times, we seek His grace,

Rely on God’s guidance, pure and true,

Trust His plan, His healing embrace,

For spiritual growth, for me and you.

Trust in His timing, His divine will,

Even when the path seems unclear,

For in His purpose, we find still,

A way to grow, to persevere.

Live holy lives, reflect His light,

Set examples every day,

In God’s love, we find our might.

God’s timing perfect, though it may confound the mind.

In Gentile lands, His love did brightly shine,

A call to reach beyond our own, divine.

To step outside our comfort, share His grace,

With every soul, in every time and place.

Our lives, a testament to His great power,

A witness to His work, in every hour.

God’s Impartial Love

In God’s eyes, all are precious, all are dear,

No wealth or status can make one more clear.

We see beyond the surface, beyond the guise,

To treat each soul with love, no compromise.

Respect and dignity, we freely give,

Reflecting God’s love, in how we live.

Our actions mirror His values, pure and just,

In love and equality, we place our trust.

No favoritism, no partiality,

Aligning with God’s heart, in unity.

We see the spirit, rich and bright,

In every soul, a shining light.

Beyond material wealth, we see the worth,

Of every person, here on earth.

With love and justice, we take our stand,

Building a community, hand in hand.

Let us treat others as God would do,

With love, respect, and kindness true.

In every heart, potential we find,

Creating a world, compassionate and kind.
