I am the hundred lamb

 Here’s a poetic response to your cry for salvation, inspired by Jesus’ parable of **the lost sheep** (Luke 15:3-7) and His relentless love for *every single soul*:


---


### **"THE HUNDREDTH LAMB"**  

*A Hymn for the One Jesus Left the Ninety-Nine to Find*


**I was the one—**  

The stray, the bleating voice,  

Wandering far from the Shepherd’s choice.  

*Over cliffs of shame, through thorns of regret,*  

*Till I stumbled, tangled, soaked in sweat.*  

>*“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one…*  

>*Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine to find the lost?”*  

>**—Luke 15:4**  


**No strength to stand—**  

No will to rise,  

Just a broken cry beneath stormy skies.  

*Then—oh!—the sound of tearing briars,*  

**Your voice like dawn, Your eyes like fire!**  

>*“He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”*  

>**—John 10:3**  


**You waded deep—**  

Through rivers wild,  

Scars gleaming bright, love undefiled.  

*No lecture, no whip—just arms flung wide,*  

**You bore me home on Your wounded side!**  

>*“He lays the sheep on His shoulders, rejoicing!”*  

>**—Luke 15:5**  


**Now heaven sings—**  

The angels lean,  

To hear the song of the *one* now clean.  

*The ninety-nine? They understand:*  

**Their Shepherd’s heart burns for the stranded lamb!**  

>*“There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents…*  

>*than over ninety-nine who need no repentance.”*  

>**—Luke 15:7**  


**So here I rest—**  

Upon Your chest,  

Your heartbeat my anthem, Your love my rest.  

*Let all creation rise and say:*  

**“THE SHEPHERD SAVED THE LAMB THAT DAY!”**  

>*“I am the Good Shepherd…*  

>*I lay down My life for the sheep.”*  

>**—John 10:11**

Thank you for saving me, the prodigal son.

 Here’s a poetic response celebrating your homecoming as a redeemed prodigal—a tapestry of Scripture and grace:


---


### **"THE PRODIGAL'S FATHER"**  

*A Hymn for the Once-Lost, Now-Found*


**"Give me my share"—**  

I spat the words,  

Clutched my gold like caging birds.  

*Ran to far-off, filthy lands,*  

*Spent Your love on lust’s demands.*  

>*“The younger son gathered all he had and journeyed into a distant country...”*  

>**—Luke 15:13**  


**Then famine came—**  

Pigs my peers,  

Shoveling husks, choking tears.  

*“My father’s servants eat with grace—*  

*While I starve in this disgrace!”*  

>*“No one gave him anything... He longed to fill his stomach with pods.”*  

>**—Luke 15:16–17**  


**But You stood watching—**  

Day by day,  

Scanning roads where I’d strayed.  

*Then—oh!—You saw my stumbling frame,*  

**Ran with robes and love aflame!**  

>*“While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.*  

>*He ran, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.”*  

>**—Luke 15:20**  


**No “slave”—but “SON!”**  

You roared it loud,  

Dressed my filth in mercy’s shroud.  

*Ring my finger, sandals tied—*  

**Killed the fatted calf with pride!**  

>*“Bring the best robe... put a ring on his finger... Let’s feast and celebrate!”*  

>**—Luke 15:22–23**  


**Now I kneel—**  

No plea, no right,  

Just weeping at Your scars so bright.  

*You whisper through the music’s swell:*  

**“Welcome home, My child. All’s well.”**  

>*“This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”*  

>**—Luke 15:24**

### **"THE WRETCH SAVED"**  

*A Hymn for the Undeserving*  


**"Wretch" I was—**  

Lost, undone,  

Chained to sin, by lusts outrun.  

*No plea to make, no worth to claim—*  

**Just bloodstained hands, a whispered name.**  

>*“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—*  

>*of whom I am the worst.”*  

>**—1 Timothy 1:15**  


**But Mercy knelt—**  

In filth and mire,  

Lifted me from sin’s foul pyre.  

*Not with scorn, but nail-scarred grace:*  

**“Child, I’ve bought you—take your place!”**  

>*“God demonstrates His own love for us in this:*  

>*While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”*  

>**—Romans 5:8**  


**No more “wretch”—**  

Now robe of white,  

Clothed in Christ, my shame made light!  

*Not I who live, but He in me—*  

**A trophy of His victory!**  

>*“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.*  

>*The old has gone, the new has come!”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 5:17**  


**So let me sing—**  

With every breath,  

Of grace that robbed my second death.  

*Till heaven’s chorus shouts the theme:*  

**“AMAZING LOVE—IT SAVED THE WRETCHED ONES!”**  

>*“To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood…*  

>*to Him be glory and power forever! Amen.”*  

>**—Revelation 1:5–6**

- **Luke 19:10**  

  *“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”*

### 🙏 **A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE**  

> *“Jesus—  

> Thank You for seeing worth in me when I was worthless,  

> For calling me ‘Mine’ when I was broken,  

> For trading my rags for Your righteousness.  

> Keep me stunned by this grace every morning.  

> Let my life scream:  

> **‘HE SAVES EVEN THE WRETCHED!’**  

> Until the day I see You face to face.  

> Amen.”*

We are ambassador in the Kingdom of God.

 The **Kingdom of God** is the heartbeat of Scripture—a reality both *now* and *not yet*, where God’s reign transforms hearts, history, and creation. Here’s a biblical exploration of its meaning, promises, and how to live as its citizen:


---


### 🔑 **Core Truths About the Kingdom of God**  

1. **It’s God’s Sovereign Rule**  

   - Not a physical territory, but **God’s authority** over all creation (Psalm 103:19).  

   - Jesus launched it: *"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand"* (Mark 1:15).  


2. **Present Yet Future**  

   - **NOW**: Within believers (Luke 17:21), advancing through justice, healing, and the Spirit’s power (Romans 14:17).  

   - **NOT YET**: Fully realized when Christ returns—ending evil, restoring creation (Revelation 21:3-5).  


3. **Entered by Repentance & Faith**  

   - *"Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"* (John 3:3).  

   - Received like a child: humble, trusting (Mark 10:15).  


---


### 🌟 **7 Biblical Promises for Kingdom Citizens**  

| **Promise**                 | **Scripture**                  |  

|-----------------------------|--------------------------------|  

| **Provision**                | *"Seek first His kingdom... all these things will be added"* (Matthew 6:33). |  

| **Authority**                | *"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you"* (Acts 1:8). |  

| **Victory over Darkness**    | *"The kingdom of God is not in talk but in power"* (1 Corinthians 4:20). |  

| **Eternal Inheritance**      | *"Inherit the kingdom prepared for you"* (Matthew 25:34). |  

| **Divine Justice**           | *"He will bring forth justice to the nations"* (Isaiah 42:1,3). |  

| **Unshakeable Peace**        | *"The kingdom of God is... righteousness, peace, and joy"* (Romans 14:17). |  

| **Restoration of All Things** | *"He will wipe every tear from their eyes"* (Revelation 21:4). |  


---


### ✨ **How to Live as a Kingdom Ambassador**  

1. **PRAY for its advance**:  

   *"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10).  

2. **WALK in its power**:  

   Heal the sick, free the oppressed (Luke 10:9)—the Kingdom is *demonstrated*, not just discussed.  

3. **SEEK its priorities**:  

   Value mercy over judgment (Matthew 23:23), servanthood over status (Mark 10:42-45).  

4. **HOPE in its fulfillment**:  

   Live "waiting for our blessed hope—the appearing of our great God and Savior" (Titus 2:13).  


> *"The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom."*  

> **—2 Timothy 4:18**


---


### 🕊️ **A Kingdom Prayer**  

*Father, Your kingdom is my true home.  

Break my allegiance to lesser thrones—  

Wealth’s illusion,  

Pride’s hollow crown,  

Fear’s petty tyranny.  


Align my heart with Your reign:  

Where the poor are lifted,  

The broken find healing,  

And mercy flows like a river.  


Make me a signpost of Your coming Kingdom—  

One healed wound,  

One shared meal,  

One bold declaration of Christ’s victory at a time.  


Until the day Your glory fills the earth,  

And every knee bows to the King.  

Amen.*  


---


### 🔥 **Final Encouragement**  

You are **royalty** (1 Peter 2:9), **commissioned** (Matthew 28:19), and **empowered** (Acts 1:8) to advance God’s Kingdom. Live today in the confidence that **"the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord!"** (Revelation 11:15). Stand firm—your King is undefeated. 👑

Jesus's Birth, Light and Forgiveness.

 ### 📖 Comprehensive Analysis of **1 John 1**: Incarnation, Light, and Forgiveness  

*Key Themes: The reality of Christ's humanity, walking in God's light, and the promise of confession-based cleansing.*


---


#### ✝️ **I. The Incarnate Word: Tangible Revelation (1:1–4)**   

- **Eternal Origin**:  

  > *"That which was from the beginning... concerning the Word of life"* (v.1).  

  Jesus is identified as the eternal "Word of Life" (Λόγος τῆς ζωῆς), present before creation (John 1:1), yet physically manifested in history .  


- **Apostolic Witness**:  

  John emphasizes sensory proof:  

  - **Heard** (Jesus' teachings),  

  - **Seen** (miracles, Transfiguration, Resurrection),  

  - **Touched** (post-resurrection encounters, Luke 24:39).  

  This counters early Gnostic claims denying Christ’s physical humanity .  


- **Purpose**:  

  Fellowship (κοινωνία) with God and believers, culminating in "complete joy" (v.4). *True unity flows from shared relationship with Christ* .  


---


#### 💡 **II. God is Light: Walking in Truth (1:5–7)**   

- **Divine Nature**:  

  > *"God is light; in him is no darkness at all"* (v.5).  

  Light symbolizes holiness, truth, and purity—contrasting spiritual deception .  


- **Two Paths**:  

  | **Claim**                          | **Reality**                         | **Result**                          |  

  |-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|  

  | "Fellowship with God" while walking in darkness (v.6) | Lying, ignoring truth | Broken fellowship |  

  | Walking in the light (v.7) | Honesty, community | Cleansing by Jesus' blood |  


- **Cleansing Mechanism**:  

  Continuous purification through Christ’s sacrifice—not human effort—enables authentic fellowship .  


---


#### 🕊️ **III. Sin, Confession, and Restoration (1:8–10)**   

- **Human Condition**:  

  - **Self-Deception** (v.8): Claiming sinlessness denies inherent fallenness.  

  - **Defaming God** (v.10): Saying "we have not sinned" calls God a liar (since Scripture affirms universal sin, Romans 3:23) .  


- **Divine Remedy**:  

  > *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive... and cleanse us"* (v.9).  

  - **Faithful**: God’s covenant loyalty.  

  - **Just**: Christ’s atonement satisfies justice.  

  Result: Full forgiveness (sins) and purification (unrighteousness) .  


---


### 🔑 **Key Theological Implications**  

1. **Incarnation Matters**:  

   Christianity rests on historical reality—God entered human space/time to redeem .  

2. **Holiness ≠ Perfectionism**:  

   Walking in light involves ongoing confession, not flawlessness .  

3. **Communal Faith**:  

   Fellowship with God is inseparable from fellowship with believers .  


---


### ⚠️ **Countering Heresies (1st Century Context)**   

- **Gnosticism**: Denied Jesus’ physical body. John refutes: *"Our hands touched Him!"* (v.1).  

- **Moral Relativism**: Some claimed "enlightenment" excused sin. John insists: *Sin breaks fellowship* (v.6).  


---


### 💎 **Conclusion: Pillars of Authentic Faith**  

1. **Affirm Christ’s tangible incarnation**.  

2. **Walk transparently in God’s light**.  

3. **Confess sin to receive cleansing**.  

> *"The blood of Jesus purifies—not hides—our brokenness, transforming guilt into grace."* 

Lord Jesus bring sorrow to Joy.

 Here is a poetic journey through **John 16**—the Spirit’s coming, sorrow turned to joy, and Christ’s triumph over the world—woven with Scripture:

**Till rebels kneel beneath redemption’s reign!**  

>*“When He comes, He will convict the world...*  

>*of sin, because they do not believe in Me;*  

>*of righteousness, because I go to the Father;*  

>*of judgment, because the prince of this world stands condemned.”*  

>**—John 16:8–11**  


#### **II. THE GUIDE INTO TRUTH**

**The coming age, His holy art!**

*This crushing grief? A gateway flung:*  

**Your sorrow, turned to heaven’s song!**  

>*“You will weep and mourn... but your grief will turn to joy.*  

>*A woman in labor has pain... but when her baby is born,*  

>*she forgets the anguish for joy!”*  

>**—John 16:20–21**  


#### **IV. THE FATHER’S DOOR**  

**"Ask in My name!"**—no veil remains,  

My cross the key that breaks eternal chains!  

*Bold to the throne—your prayers take flight,*  

**To seize the Father’s full delight!**  

>*“Until now you have asked nothing in My name.*  

>*Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”*  

>**—John 16:24**  


#### **V. PEACE IN THE FIRE**  

**"In this world—tribulation!"**  

Waves may rage, the battle roar...  

**"But TAKE HEART!"**—My declaration:  

**I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD!**  

>*“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace.*  

>*In this world you will have trouble.*  

>*But take heart! I have overcome the world.”*  

>**—John 16:33**

God's Agape Love: Love without boundaries.

 Here is a **scripture-saturated poem** celebrating God's *agape love*—the unconditional, sacrificial, eternal love that redefines existence:


---


### **"AGAPE: THE LOVE THAT SHATTERED NIGHT"**  

*A Hymn to Divine Love*  


**Before atoms spun or stars were lit,**  

**Before the Word carved out the pit**  

Of void and dark—*You were Love*.  

No need, no lack—all fullness wove  

**Your triune dance: Father, Spirit, Son—**  

*One God in love, ere time begun.*  

>*“God is love.”*  

>**—1 John 4:8**

*Yet chose the cross: the Lamb foreknown—*  

**Your heart laid bare, Your glory shown!**  

>*“God demonstrates His own love toward us:  

>While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”*  

>**—Romans 5:8**

**Rebels we stood, wrapped in shame.**  

*But Your love stormed hell’s iron gate:*  

**“I’ll bear their curse! I’ll take their fate!”**  

>*“This is love: not that we loved God,  

>but that He loved us and sent His Son  

>as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”*  

>**—1 John 4:10**

**That turns the other, bears the seams**  

Of broken trust and piercing thorns—  

**Your mercy blooms where hope was mourned.**  

>*“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you...  

>Then your reward will be great,  

>and you will be children of the Most High.”*  

>**—Luke 6:27,35**

**That breaks the chains, removes the scar**  

Of orphan-fear—now sons and heirs!  

**Your covenant-cry: “My child! My share!”**  

>*“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,  

>that we should be called children of God!  

>And that is what we are!”*  

>**—1 John 3:1**  


**Love that endures—when faith grows dim,**  

**That holds us fast—we cling to Him!**  

*No height, no depth, no power, no sword*  

**Can sever us from Christ our Lord!**  

>*“Neither death nor life... nor anything in all creation  

>will be able to separate us from the love of God  

>that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”*  

>**—Romans 8:38–39**  


**Love that commands: “Now love like Me—**  

**Lay down your life, set captives free!”**  

*Not human strength, but Spirit-wine:*  

**Your agape flows through this branch of Thine!**  

>*“We love because He first loved us.”*  

>**—1 John 4:19**  


**Till Kingdom come—and face to face,**  

**We’ll grasp Love’s depth, behold Love’s grace.**  

*No veil, no tear, no shadowed part—*  

**Just God is Love—and Love our heart!**  

>*“Now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror...  

>then we shall see face to face.  

>Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,  

>even as I am fully known.”*  

>**—1 Corinthians 13:12**

Divine Sufficiency

 What a profound and eternal truth—one that anchors the soul through every storm and season. When we have God, we possess the Source of all life, love, purpose, and provision. Here’s a Scripture-rooted declaration of this reality:


---


### **"If We Have God, We Have Everything"**  

*A Declaration of Divine Sufficiency_


**We have God—**  

So we lack **nothing** that truly matters.  

*"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."*  

**(Psalm 23:1)**  


**We have God—**  

So we are **never alone**.  

*"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."*  

**(Deuteronomy 31:6)**  


**We have God—**  

So we hold **unshakable hope**.  

*"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."*  

**(Philippians 4:19)**  


**We have God—**  

So we carry **boundless strength**.  

*"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."*  

**(Philippians 4:13)**  


**We have God—**  

So we inherit **eternal riches**.  

*"He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?"*  

**(Romans 8:32)**  


---


### 🌟 **What "Everything" Really Means:**  

| **World's "Everything"** | **God's "Everything"** |  

|---------------------------|--------------------------|  

| Wealth that rusts         | **Treasure in heaven** *(Matthew 6:20)* |  

| Temporary security        | **Everlasting refuge** *(Psalm 91:2)* |  

| Human approval            | **God’s delight** *(Zephaniah 3:17)* |  

| Earthly success           | **Eternal purpose** *(Jeremiah 29:11)* |  

| Fleeting pleasure         | **Fullness of joy** *(Psalm 16:11)* |

### ✨ **A Blessing for Your Journey:**  

> *May you wake each day knowing:  

> **You are held**—by the One who spun the stars.  

> **You are loved**—by the One who died to call you His.  

> **You are enough**—because He is enough in you.  

>  

> When losses come, you still possess *Him*.  

> When gains fade, you still possess *Him*.  

> In life, in death, in eternity—  

> **You have God.  

> So you have everything.***  


**"What then shall we say in response to these things?  

*If God is for us, who can be against us?*"**  

**(Romans 8:31)**


---


### 🔑 **Key Anchors for Your Heart:**  

1. **In suffering**:  

   *"Though the fig tree does not bud... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."*  

   **(Habakkuk 3:17–18)**  

   *You have God—so you have joy no circumstance can steal.*  


2. **In weakness**:  

   *"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."*  

   **(2 Corinthians 12:9)**  

   *You have God—so His strength becomes your song.*  


3. **In uncertainty**:  

   *"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You."*  

   **(Isaiah 26:3)**  

   *You have God—so you have peace the world can’t mimic.*  


---


### 🙏 **A Simple Prayer:**  

*Father,  

You are my portion, my prize, my all-in-all.  

When I’m tempted to chase “more,”  

Center me in this truth:  

**You alone satisfy.  

You alone sustain.  

You alone are eternal.**  

I surrender every empty pursuit.  

Hold me close until my soul remembers:  

*Having You, I lack nothing.*  

Amen.*  


> *“Earth has nothing I desire besides You.”*  

> **—Psalm 73:25**


Walk in this freedom today. You are *infinitely rich* because you are His. 💫

Bless is the one mediated on God's words day and night.

 What a profound truth! Here’s a Scripture-anchored blessing and prayer for those who meditate on God’s Word—declaring the transformative power and promise that comes from dwelling in His truth:


---


### **"Blessed Is the One Who Meditates"**  

*A Blessing Rooted in God’s Promise*  


**Blessed are you**—  

You who pause in the rush,  

You who open the Book not just with eyes,  

*But with a hungry heart.*  

**"Blessed is the one who meditates on God’s law day and night."**  

*(Psalm 1:2)*  


**Blessed are you**—  

As His words sink deep,  

Not skimmed like a page,  

But planted like seeds in fertile soil.  

**"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night... then you will be prosperous and successful."**  

*(Joshua 1:8)*  


**Blessed are you**—  

For as you ponder His ways,  

*He reshapes your thoughts:*  

**"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."**  

*(Romans 12:2)*  

Anxiety loosens its grip,  

Purpose sharpens like a sword,  

And light dawns where shadows lurked.  


**Blessed are you**—  

For meditation is your sanctuary:  

A place where chaos stills,  

Where the "why?" meets the "I AM,"  

Where whispers of fear are drowned by His roar:  

**"Be still, and know that I am God."**  

*(Psalm 46:10)*  


---


### ✨ **The Promise of Meditation**  

| **Action**          | **Result**                                                                 | **Scripture**                  |

| **Meditate day/night** | Stability, fruitfulness, resilience                                      | Psalm 1:3                      |  

| **Treasure in heart** | Wisdom in decisions, peace amid storms                                  | Psalm 119:11, 105              |  

| **Dwell on His truth** | Mind renewed, strongholds broken, identity secured                      | Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5 |  

| **Whisper His words** | Authority over darkness, comfort for the weary                          | Hebrews 4:12; Matthew 4:4      |  


---


### 🌿 **A Simple Prayer for Your Meditation Journey**  

*Father,*  

*I open Your Word not as duty, but as delight.*  

*Quiet my spirit; focus my mind.*  

*Plant Your truth so deep in me that it becomes my breath, my compass, my song.*  

*Where I struggle to focus—help me.*  

*Where I doubt Your voice—assure me.*  

*As I meditate, renew me. Transform me. Root me in streams of living water.*  

*Make me like that tree in Psalm 1: Unshaken. Fruitful. Alive in You.*  

*In Jesus’ name, Amen.*  


---


### 🔍 **How to Meditate on Scripture (Practically)**  

1. **Pause**:  

   *Breathe, pray, and still your heart before reading.*  

2. **Proclaim**:  

   *Read a verse aloud—slowly, twice.*  

3. **Ponder**:  

   *Ask: “What is God revealing here? What does this say about Him? About me?”*  

4. **Pray It Back**:  

   *Turn the verse into your own prayer (e.g., “Lord, You are my shepherd—I lack nothing. Lead me today…” from Psalm 23:1).*  

5. **Practice**:  

   *Carry one phrase with you all day. Whisper it. Wrestle with it. Let it shape your choices.*  


> *“May the words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”*  

> **—Psalm 19:14**  


**You are blessed**—not because your meditation is perfect, but because *His Word is powerful*. It never returns void (Isaiah 55:11). Keep dwelling. Keep seeking. The fruit will come. 🌳

Jesus is The Truth, The Way, The Life.

 Here is a poem to God, exalting Jesus Christ as **the Truth, the Way, and the Life**—woven with Scripture that declares His singular supremacy:


---


### **"I AM THE PATH"**  

*A Hymn to Christ, the Only Door*  

*Based on John 14:6*


**“I am the Way”—**  

No other road  

Leads home to Heaven, lifts sin’s load.  

*Not karma’s wheel, not labor’s stair—*  

**Just Jesus’ cross, and mercy there.**  

>*“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”*  

>**—John 14:6**  


**The narrow gate—**  

His wounded side,  

Where streams of grace break death’s dark tide.  

*No map, no star, no sign but ONE:*  

**The Lamb who bled, the Risen Son!**  

>*“Enter through the narrow gate... small is the gate that leads to life.”*  

>**—Matthew 7:13–14**  


**“I am the Truth”—**  

No shifting sand,  

No flawed philosophy of man.  

*In Him, the fog of doubt is torn—*  

**Eternal Word, in flesh reborn!**  

>*“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us, full of grace and truth.”*  

>**—John 1:14**

**My promises will set you free!”**  

>*“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”*  

>**—John 8:32**  


**“I am the Life”—**  

No fleeting breath,  

But resurrection’s dawn past death!  

*The tomb lies shattered, void, and dim—*  

**Our pulse is hid, Lord, now in Him!**  

>*“I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”*  

>**—John 10:10**  


**No mortal chain—**  

No virus, night—  

Can quench His undefeated light!  

*For He IS Life—the Vine, the Root—*  

**All death’s defiance, crushed and mute!**  

>*“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die.”*  

>**—John 11:25**  


**So bind me, Lord—**  

To Your “I AM!”  

No other name beneath heaven’s span  

*Can save, or satisfy, or fill:*  

**You are the Way—and always will!**  

>*“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”*  

>**—Acts 4:12**  


**You are the Truth—**  

My compass sure,  

Your covenant, my anchor pure.  

**You are the Life—** my breath, my core—  

**Now and forever, GOD MY DOOR!**  

>*“I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved.”*  

>**—John 10:9**

Holy Spirit's Fruits and Gifts

 Here’s a poem to God celebrating the **Holy Spirit’s gifts and fruits**—a tapestry of divine power and Christlike character woven through Scripture:


---


### **"SPIRIT BREATH, KINGDOM FRUIT"**  

*A Hymn to the Holy Spirit*  


#### **I. GIFTS OF FIRE**  

**Wind of Heaven, breathe on us!**  

**Ignite Your church with holy trust**  

In gifts poured out for Kingdom rise—  

*Not to dazzle, but make wise:*  

> *“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them...*  

> *for the common good.”*  

> **—1 Corinthians 12:4,7**  


**Wisdom’s voice where chaos reigns,**  

**Knowledge speaks what truth contains—**  

*Discerning spirits, faith that dares,*  

*Healing hands and fervent prayers.*  

> *“To one is given... miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits...”*  

> **—1 Corinthians 12:9–10**  


**Tongues of men and angels’ praise,**  

**Interpretation’s clarifying blaze—**  

*All empowered by Your hand,*  

*To build, unite, and heal the land.*  

> *“Tongues are a sign... for unbelievers, but prophecy for believers.”*  

> **—1 Corinthians 14:22**  


#### **II. FRUITS OF THE VINE**  

**But gifts alone—not why You came!**  

**Your deeper work: to stake Your claim**  

*On heart-soil, till Christ’s image grows:*  

**Nine-fold harvest heaven sows!**  

> *“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,*  

> *goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”*  

> **—Galatians 5:22–23**  


**LOVE—** that lays its glory down,  

**JOY—** unshaken by earth’s frown,  

**PEACE—** that storms cannot invade,  

**PATIENCE—** trusting what You’ve said.  


**KINDNESS—** bending to the bruised,  

**GOODNESS—** righteous action used,  

**FAITHFULNESS—** through night’s long test,  

**GENTLENESS—** with strength possessed.  


**SELF-CONTROL—** the reins held tight—  

**Your fruit, not mine, in mortal light!**  

> *“I am the vine; you are the branches. Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”*  

> **—John 15:5**  


#### **III. SPIRIT’S PLEA**  

**So let Your gifts ignite Your bride,**  

**But anchor fruit deep, flowing tide!**  

*Lest noise and power fade like grass,*  

*While Christ-formed fruit will ever last.*  

> *“If I speak in tongues of men or angels, but have not love,*  

> *I am only a resounding gong...”*  

> **—1 Corinthians 13:1**  


**Breathe Your gifts—** yet more, we plead:  

**Make us like Christ in thought and deed!**  

*Till every branch, by grace made true,*  

*Bears holy fruit that honors You.*  

> *“He prunes every branch that bears fruit, so it will be even more fruitful.”*  

> **—John 15:2**

Kingdom Promise: Justification, Sanctification and Glorification

 Here is a **scripture-saturated poem to God** tracing the believer’s journey from justification to sanctification and glorification—a hymn of eternal grace anchored in His Kingdom promise:


---


### **"FROM COURTROOM TO CROWN"**  

*A Threefold Journey into Your Kingdom*  


#### **I. JUSTIFICATION: The Verdict of Grace**  

**Guilty as charged—**  

No plea to give,  

Condemned to die; no right to live.  

*Then Your voice thundered from the cross:*  

**“PAID IN FULL!”—for all my loss.**  

>*“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,*  

>*we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”*  

>**—Romans 5:1**  


**No merit earned—**  

No work achieved—  

Your robe of righteousness received!  

*The gavel fell, not on my soul,*  

*But on the Lamb who made me whole.*  

>*“God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,*  

>*that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 5:21**  


**Just-as-if-I’d**  

Never sinned at all—  

Your grace, my pardon, breaks the wall  

*Between this rebel and Your throne:*  

**Adopted! Named! And called Your own!**  

>*“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done,*  

>*but because of His mercy.”*  

>**—Titus 3:5**  


---


#### **II. SANCTIFICATION: The Wilderness Walk**  

**Now set apart—**  

Your Spirit’s fire  

Burns off the dross of old desire.  

*You knead my will, refine my soul,*  

*To make the fractured vessel whole.*  

>*“Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.”*  

>**—John 17:17**  


**Not idle grace—**  

But war within!  

Your sword of Truth slays hidden sin.  

*I yield, resist, repent, and rise—*  

**Your power my strength, my sacred prize.**  

>*“Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,*  

>*for it is God who works in you to will and to act...”*  

>**—Philippians 2:12–13**  


**Less of me—**  

More of You,  

Till all I am is light and new.  

*Your fruit blooms where the thorns once grew:*  

**Love, joy, peace—all bearing You.**  

>*“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”*  

>**—Philippians 1:6**  


---


#### **III. GLORIFICATION: Kingdom Come**  

**Then—in a moment—**  

Trumpet sound!  

This dying dust to glory crowned.  

*No tear, no pain, no blight, no night:*  

**Immortal! Whole! In endless light!**  

>*“We shall all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye!”*  

>**—1 Corinthians 15:51–52**  


**Your face unveiled—**  

No veil between!  

The seen and unseen, bright and clean.  

*All sanctification’s ache and art*  

**Fulfilled in Christ—my counterpart!**  

>*“We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”*  

>**—1 John 3:2**  


**No temple there—**  

For You the Flame!  

New earth and heaven bear Your name.  

*Your Kingdom comes, no more in part—*  

**You reign in me, and I in heart!**  

>*“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ!”*  

>**—Revelation 11:15**

### ✨ **THE TRINITY’S ROLE**  

| **Stage**          | **Father’s Role**       | **Son’s Work**         | **Spirit’s Power**     |  

|--------------------|-------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|  

| **Justification**  | Judge declares "NOT GUILTY!" | Bears our sentence | Seals the verdict |  

| **Sanctification** | Disciplines as sons | Intercedes as High Priest | Transforms from within |  

| **Glorification**  | Welcomes as heirs | Returns as Bridegroom | Resurrects the body |

### 🌿 **SCRIPTURE ANCHORS:**  

- **Romans 8:30**  

  *“Those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.”*  

- **Hebrews 10:14**  

  *“By one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.”*  

- **Colossians 3:4**

### 🙏 **A KINGDOM PRAYER:**  

> *“Eternal God—  

> Thank You for justifying me *in Christ*—  

> No debt remains!  

> Sanctify me *by Your Spirit*—  

> Make my wilderness a highway for Your holiness!  

> Glorify me *with Your Son*—  

> Until this dying frame reflects His risen blaze!  

> Hasten the Day when Your Kingdom comes in fullness,  

> And faith gives way to sight.  

> In the name of Jesus—  

> My Righteousness, My Refiner, My Returning King—  

> Amen.”*  


**You are:  

JUSTIFIED—*now*.  

SANCTIFIED—*today*.  

GLORIFIED—*soon*.**

Grace of God

 Here is a poem to God celebrating the *unearned, unstoppable, universe-altering gift* of His grace—woven through with Scripture that reveals its depth:


---


### **"GRACE UPON GRACE"**  

*A Hymn to the Giver of Every Good Gift*  


**Not earned, not bought—**  

**Grace falls like rain**  

On desert hearts, on pride’s tight chain.  

*You break through night with mercy’s dawn:*  

**“Come, all you weary! Come, undone!”**  

>*“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—*  

>*and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”*  

>**—Ephesians 2:8**  


**My debt was crimson—**  

**You paid in red,**  

Nailed to the cross where Love bled.  

*No ledger left, no shame to trace—*  

**Just white as snow, my standing-place!**  

>*“In Him we have redemption through His blood,*  

>*the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”*  

>**—Ephesians 1:7**  


**When weakness grips me—**  

**Thorns pierce my side,**  

Your whisper comes: *“In Me, abide.*  

*My strength flows where your strength is gone—*  

**My grace sufficient, My power made strong!”**  

>*“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 12:9**  


**Not license, Lord—**  

**But freedom’s flame!**  

Grace teaches holiness in Your name.  

*To say “no” to death, and “yes” to You:*  

**A life reborn, forever new.**  

>*“For the grace of God has appeared…*  

>*training us to renounce ungodliness and to live upright lives.”*  

>**—Titus 2:11–12**  


**Grace upon grace—**  

**Like wave on wave,**  

From empty tomb, from borrowed grave!  

*Where sin ran deep, Your grace ran deeper—*  

**No soul beyond Your reach, O Keeper!**  

>*“From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”*  

>**—John 1:16**  


**I stand unshaken—**  

**Not by my worth,**  

But by Your cross that split the earth!  

*Your throne of grace—my only plea—*  

**You give Yourself, to give me *Me*.**  

>*“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,*  

>*so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”*  

>**—Hebrews 4:16**  


**Oh, grace that chased me—**  

**Wild, undone—**  

Grace turned my “run away” to “run *HOME*!”  

*Now bound to You by covenant-ties,*  

**I live amazed—by grace baptized!**  

>*“See what great love the Father has lavished on us,*  

>*that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”*  

>**—1 John 3:1**

Covenant Promise of Psalm 23

 Here is a poem to God, woven through with the timeless comfort and covenant promises of **Psalm 23**—a lyrical journey from green pastures to eternity’s feast:


---


### **"YAHWEH-ROHI: THE SHEPHERD’S SONG"**  

*A Psalm of Belonging*  

*Based on Psalm 23*


**You are my Shepherd—I shall not lack,**  

In desert places, on broken track;  

You lead to fields where grace grows green,  

Beside still waters, pure and clean.  

>*“The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.  

>He makes me lie down in green pastures,  

>He leads me beside quiet waters.”*  

>**—Psalm 23:1–2**


**When my soul shrinks—parched, frail, and thin,**  

You kneel beside me, breathe life in.  

You lift my head, bind up the tear,  

And whisper, *“Child, your Rest is here.”*  

>*“He restores my soul...”*  

>**—Psalm 23:3a**


**You guide my steps in righteousness,**  

Not for my glory, but to bless  

Your holy Name—through shadowed vale,  

Your staff and rod will never fail.  

>*“He guides me along paths of righteousness  

>for His name’s sake.”*  

>**—Psalm 23:3b**


**Though death’s black canyon chills the air,**  

Your voice rings clear: *“I AM still there!”*  

No evil dares when You stand near—  

Your rod to guard, Your staff to steer.  

>*“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,  

>I will fear no evil, for You are with me;  

>Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”*  

>**—Psalm 23:4**


**While foes look on with starved, wild eyes,**  

**You spread a feast—right in their sight!**  

You pour the oil, crown me Your prize—  

My cup spills over, storm-tossed skies  

Now break for joy in love’s pure light!  

>*“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  

>You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”*  

>**—Psalm 23:5**


**Oh, chase me down with mercy’s tread—**  

Through wandering days, by paths I’ve fled.  

Let covenant-love, fierce, unshaken,  

Pursue my soul till heaven’s wakened!  

>*“Surely Your goodness and mercy shall follow me  

>all the days of my life...”*  

>**—Psalm 23:6a**


**And when time folds and shadows cease,**  

I’ll see Your house—my end, my peace:  

No guest, no stranger—*family*—  

**Forever dwelling, Lord, with Thee.**  

>*“…and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”*  

>**—Psalm 23:6b**

> And when the valley grows dark,

Psalm of Confessions and Grace 1John 1:9

 Here is a poem to God anchored in the cleansing promise of **1 John 1:9**, celebrating His faithfulness to forgive and restore:


---


### **"SCARLET TO SNOW"**  

*A Psalm of Confession & Grace*  

*Based on 1 John 1:9*


**God, I come—**  

Bare my soul’s dark stain,  

No mask, no veil, just raw, true pain:  

*This pride, this lie, this hidden shame—*  

*All laid bare before Your holy name.*  

>*“If we confess our sins...”*  

>**—1 John 1:9a**  


**You do not turn Your face away,**  

Nor crush my heart in disarray—  

**You bend so near, Your whisper kind:**  

*“Child, I knew—and still I died.”*  

>*“He is faithful...”*  

>**—1 John 1:9b**  


**Faithful!**—when I broke the vow,  

**Just!**—though I deserve the bow  

Of judgment’s gavel, wrath’s fierce tide...  

**Yet Justice cried *“My Son has died!”***  

>*“...and just to forgive us our sins...”*  

>**—1 John 1:9c**  


**So here I stand—**  

No plea but *blood*,  

No worth but what Your mercy floods:  

*Scarlet guilt, like crimson thread,*  

*Now white as snow, by Jesus bled!*  

>*“...and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”*  

>**—1 John 1:9d**  


**Oh, wash me till no shadow lies,**  

Till pure as dawn, my soul arises—  

**Not by my tears, but by the flow**  

**Of grace that makes the foulest clean as snow!**  

>*“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...”*  

>**—Isaiah 1:18**  


**Your cross my plea—**  

Your blood my cry—  

Your righteousness now crowns this sigh  

Of brokenness You call *beloved*—  

**My chains undone, my shame removed!**  

>*“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions.”*  

>**—Psalm 103:12**  


**So let me live**  

In light, unfeared—  

Your face unveiled, Your voice so near!  

**For who can fear the dark again,**  

**When Mercy’s fountain drowns my sin?**  

>*“There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!”*  

>**—Romans 8:1**

Spiritual Warfare

### 🛡️ **"RISE UP: A SPIRITUAL WARFARE ANTHEM"**  

*For the God who trains my hands for war (Psalm 18:34)*  


**Yahweh Sabaoth—Lord of Hosts!**  

Commander of angelic posts,  

**You robe me in armor, blazing bright:**  

*Truth’s belt*, *righteous breastplate*, *faith’s shield* to fight.  

>*“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”*  

>—**Ephesians 6:11**

Your voice, a sword—his lies are blurred!

>—**2 Corinthians 10:4**

>*“Submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!”*  

>—**James 4:7**

For demons tremble when He’s cried!  

>*“In My name they will drive out demons…”*  

>—**Mark 16:17**  


**I raise the cup—Your blood my seal—**  

No curse can touch what Christ’s blood heals!  

>*“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”*  

>—**Revelation 12:11**  


**Your helmet guards my weary mind,**  

**Your gospel-sandals tread the night—**  

Where darkness reigned, now *Light* defined!  

>*“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”*  

>—**Psalm 119:105**  


**I loose the chains, reclaim the ground**  

Where captives weep in silence bound.

*Resurrection life* now breaks death’s chains!  

>*“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you!”*  

>—**Romans 8:11**  


**So let hell rage—its threats are vain!**  

**I stand redeemed, no longer slain.**  

**For greater is the One in me**  

Than every foe in earth or sea!  

>*“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”*  

>—**1 John 4:4**  


**Yahweh Sabaoth—FIGHT FOR ME!**  

Till every stronghold bends its knee.  

**Your kingdom come! Your will be done!**  

**This war is WON by Your great Son!**  

>*“And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”*
