I have that picture of Jesus hanging in my kitchen. I earned from knowing my memory work in Sunday School many years ago. Thank you for sharing this acrostic contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

When I think of Christ, that picture is what I see. It reminds me of my childhood. It hung in my mother's bedroom above her bed. It has always given me comfort and peace. Thank you for your review and good luck wish. John

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
This is a lovely acrostic. It is done perfectly. However, you did not acknowledge where your picture came from. The pictures are free as long as we tell in the author's notes where we got them. Karen

What a good shot. It is a little fuzzy, which just makes it look more ethereal. :-) Karen

Comment from Sarah Sandison
I really like your poem and the words are so true. It is good to be reminded that 'Christ leads my way, He's my truth and my life He helps me soar and leave worries behind' as I often forget this and feel the stress of the world. Thank you for remining me. Beautiful verse :)

Thank you, Sarah. I think at times we all get caught up in the the cares of this world, which the Bible tells us, "will choke the Word of God." What is so amazing and wonderful about our God is that He is so patient, kind and forgiving. He will always welcome us back with open arms. I appreciate your sweet review. John

Hi John,
This is a well done faith based acrostic. It defines faith well and shows the strength and hope it gives the believer. Also, it shows all our hopes to see Him in heaven and to truly walk in His shadow.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats of placing second in the contest.
Have a Happy Easter.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, John.
-You wrote a very good acrostic.

that can apply to many of us.

your love in Christ and how He is
important in your life.

Comment from Ginda Simpson
You have used the subject of faith very successfully in your acrostic poem. And the sequence is good, beginning with confusion and doubt into confidence and wisdom.

Comment from Dawn Munro
What a lovely acrostic poem! I have one suggestion for you (only) (because I see this is a contest entry, and as far as I know, all acrostics use the poem as the title) = "Shadow Of Christ" should be this poem's title, for the judges here, anyway.
Best of luck in the contest! I hope this jewel is the winner!
