A Poem for Thought

Given Not Earned

To this in life I have certainty learned

As God opened my eyes and soul to know

Spiritual things are given, not earned

As to the soul they flow and do show

To this in life I have certainly learned

I've learned it's in His timing they grow

Spiritual things are given, not earned

Reference of Thoughts: Sometimes its hard to wait for things of a spiritual nature when it seems one has been waiting a long time; including, things prayed for as prayers are spiritual. But one can not hurry God and try to make them happen, as they will happen in His timing as spiritual things are given, not earned.

Consider Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 (NKJV):

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born,
And a time to die
A time to plant,

And a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill,

And a time to heal;

A time to break down,

And a time to build up;

A time to weep,

And a time to laugh;

A time to mourn,

And a time to dance;

A time to cast stones,

And a time to gather stones;

A time to embrace,

And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain,

And a time to lose;

A time to keep,

And a time to throw away;

A time to tear,

And a time to sew;

A time to keep silent,

And a time to speak;

A time to love,

And a time to hate;

A time of war,

And a time of peace.

Holy Spirit- Acrostic Poem

Godly Woman by Andile Andy (Really like this Poem)

Godly Women by Andile Andy A woman who walks in God's love. Reflecting the beauty of the father above. Who is not defeated by things most men find tough. A woman whose not just a pretty face But a woman of God's grace Beholding God's face A woman who lives knowing she's headed heaven in God's place. A woman of good character, not better competence. A woman who symbolizes the goodness of God by her excellence. A woman who pray for her house, and other residence. She walks with the Lord shouting, pleading's how me the way oh God'.
