This is such a lovely poem that brings scripture to life in a way that this community of poets can better understand your relevant application of God's word. You did a wonderful job sis.

    This was one that I was kind of proud of because I do love singing praises to Jesus and my Heavenly Father. Thanks for all your kind words for them. I so appreciate you and also the lovely six star. Thanks bro. Love, Debi

This is a six for so many reasons. Of course, you are inspired and write beautifully... That is a given! What struck me is that by posting this you are encouraging every person of faith...and those who may be feeling in need of faith to read the Bible, embrace those passages that speak to them...and "own" them by rethinking the passages in their own words and contemplating, through prayer, how they fit in their lives.

I love each of your interpretations. The one that speaks to me at this moment is: "The Holy Spirit gives us peace, and helps us all to cope"

Merry Christmas Debi! You're the star on our tree!

Karenina

    Thanks K, for this positively lovely review and the sweetest words ever.

    I have been purposely avoiding this one as I wanted to keep it forever.

    However I think I will copy it to my folder of best reviews yet.

    Also for the generous six stars, my dearest friend.

    I appreciate you more than I could ever say.

    Love you, K. Debi

Debi,
This is a spectacular poem inspired by Bible verses.
Roy Owen through his poems taught me that trust in the Lord is paramount.
Your verses make me special in the Lord as he knew me still in the womb. And loves each one of us in great measure.
Wonderful poem, Debi.
I hope you're well and stay healthy.
Blessings, Cindy

You retell the wisdom and guidance, the faith and hope in the Bible, from an archaic kind of language into a modern, more recognizable and easier to understand language. It makes these passages seem more vibrant, more relevant to us living in the here and now. estory

Hi Debi,
You did a good job in rhyming the meaning of each verse. This could almost be a psalm in itself. It is as uplifting as each verse is.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas.
Joan

HI Debi, this is just beautiful...my beautiful friend...
I know most of these...and some have read many times...

every morning I wake up...I listen to Psalms 25...
it starts off...
To you O Lord, I lift up my soul
O my God in you I trust

some time back our pastor told us to pick a phrase out
of the bible...and read it everyday for 30 days...
I love this one so much...it has got to be 9 or 10 months...
and I still listen...and at times read along with it...

I would try and pick a favorite off your poem...but I love
them all...
I love your poem my wonderful friend...and your picture
is priceless...so beautifully written you....love you much...Linda xxoo

Nicely done couplets about the essential elements of the Christian faith. I like how you weave the bible verse into your couplets covering the elements of each verse
