Best Faithlove Poems
Believing that marriage was ordained of God;
that, like a seed, it needed constant nurturing,
she sowed her deep devotion with a hope
that stretched beyond an ordinary scope;
scanned schisms that had left her desolate-
until it reached the heavens with her prayers.
With unusual restraint, she held her tongue
countless times. . . and listened.
If matrimony were the fire in a hearth,
she supplied the kindling and the logs;
then lauded him for twigs
that on occasion he tossed in.
Some nights she’d lay a weary head
upon the chest of one she called her husband
(when he was fast asleep and didn’t know).
and she'd feel the beat of a heart he wouldn’t show.
With humbleness she supplicated God
that she might find connection with her mate.
She wondered and she wondered why. . .
if thoughts, invisible, which were transmitted
to the Lord, by Him were then received,
why could not her words directly spoken
to the one on earth she loved, be heard?
Daily on her knees, she telegraphed celestially
with faith extraordinary. . . and wisdom came.
Her love would not be broken, and she grew.
The seed she’d planted too
took root and grew until there came a time. . .
she laid a greying head upon the chest
of one that was her husband(not in word alone),
who watched her as she drifted off to sleep.
With his heartbeat strong in her ear,
she heard him whisper softly, “I love you”
as he kissed her cheek. “Goodnight.”

The Deposition
The love God gives remains unbound.
Jesus of Nazareth came down.
Everlasting, His love abounds.
Deliverer and Redeemer: crucified, He died.
Eternal sacrifice, His perfect life tried.
Painfully executed, giving no retort to their lies.
Omnipotent creator, teacher, and revelator
Righteous, He lived, and died; over sin the victor.
Incomprehensible pain He, for us bore.
Two women, Mary, His mother, and Mary Magdalene
Inconceivable how perfect love and wisdom fomented.
Overcome with grief, Nicodemus and more lamented.
Never ending love, on the third day Jesus the Christ, alive presented.

I have two sons
Both tall, blonde and handsome
With personalities different as night and day
Noah’s intellect is scary
Even as a small child he could figure out
Not only how things work but why they work
I smile and nod a lot like I have a clue
His humor! The right word at exactly the right time
It’s killer
My younger son is Josh
His heart is as deep and wide as the ocean
He’s a football jock. He enjoys pushing himself
Harder and longer just for fun.
Nothing in this world will be out of his reach
Due to his sheer determination
I have two very special friends
That can be described as pure love
My love for them is deep and powerful
No matter the problem, no matter the danger
I’ll always be there for them
But if I had to choose to save them
With the lives of one of my sons
No matter how much I love them
The task could not be done
So I ask you now my Father
For we so desperately wicked
How did you send your Son
To pay the price of our selfish sins
I don’t understand it
I will never understand
How much is your love for us all
I have never been to Calvary Nor trod Jerusalem’s path
I did not suffer the crown of thorns nor felt the Roman’s wrath
I did not see Judas’ kiss as he betrayed our Lord
Nor Peter’s thrice denial of the Master he adored
I never felt the weight of the Cross nor heard the jeers of the crowd
I never flinched when He passed by
His body bloodied but unbowed.
His hands and feet were pierced with nails but I was not there to see
The agony He suffered as He lay dying on the tree
But although I was not there to help Him on his way
I cling to the last words He uttered on that day
For He forgave his captors...forgave us sinners too
There is no greater love than this...
He gave his life for you!

For Brian's Aspect of Love Contest
A...Affection that is not sexual but spiritual or on a higher plane
G...God's love for mankind
A...A love revealed in Jesus
P...Perfect love
E...Exceptional love like God's love in John 3:16
The love I have for Jesus Christ,
can not be taken away,
Because the love I have and hold,
grows stronger each passing day.
Though I feel so all alone,
wishing I were not here,
I know the Lord is with me,
he whispers in my ear.
With all my heart and soul,
I thank him for all he's done;
And for giving me the blessed privilege,
of being his holy son.

I am just a simple man
Written By Dean Masciarelli

I am just a simple man
That has been
living on his own
But a time will come
When the right
woman
will come along
Whether it is this
season
or the next one
Because I have enough faith
to know that the good
Lord will bring me someone
That I can truly count on
that will love me just as
much as
I can love them in return
But until that time comes
I will continue to wait
patiently
while I am on my own
Taking hold of me, while I'm moving through the ear
That is the way you love is...that is the way I feel.
uncertain are the plans that you have for me
but still I'm here, excited about unpredictable things
still here, trying to reach places where I've never been
walking.... back and forth....looking for what has been promised,
Hoping to see what has been expected.
Sometimes I have decided to leave, not to eat
Sometimes I've gone away, run, escaped
but I always comeback where strong feelings are found
I always comeback where I feel like a child.
I've promised,
I've told you that I will certainly do what you deserve
I've said that I will follow you wherever you go
But today, on my knees, I will ask you to see
what is not easy to observe
I'm asking you to cover my heart, mind and body with your strength
and pour your love into my heart
God, today, I'm asking you.
Alone in our world just you and I
Where lovely birds sing and emotions are high
In your arms is heaven bliss
I wake up every sunrise with your kiss
Laying in the ultimate comfort without being lyrical
Your love is the unexplained miracle
Only one would know if they lay
Dance in pure Love every night and day
And all it takes is a knock on your door
The call of your name beautiful forever more
How I dream and long for eternity in your capture and caress
As I never tire dancing in my long silk dress
To Beloved Jesus
Form:
I am standing at the shoreline of my mind;
Tender thoughts lap like gentle waves and
trickle onto the sand.
You hold my hand
and I love you.
It is peaceful here in this heavenly haven;
the undulating sea sings a lullaby
of happiness as
you hold my hand
and I love you.
The sun rises on the horizon of my consciousness.
It peeps over the edge of reason and
glistens, sparkling on the water.
You still hold my hand
and I love you.
The fronds of forgiveness infiltrate the fibres
of my fabric and the blurred vision in
the eye of my mind is cleared now.
You will always hold my hand
and I'll love you.
DearLord
I thank you that you are faithful until the end
thank you that you gave me a new friend
some people come into our lives and others have to go
but your faithfullness will always show
your timing is so perfect its always comes at the right time
you love us forever even when we dont have a dime
we thank you for rebuilding us time and time again
you are so faithfull and will forever remain the same.
deut 7 :9Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God,
keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and
keep his commands.
2 th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil
one
Ps145 : 13 The Lord is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.
God's Love is unfailing
it never runs dry
he is our comfort when we cry
God's love is unfailing
it flows like a gentle stream
he washes our sins clean
God's Love is unfailing
it's with us every day
and his Love is here to stay
If we travel by plain, train, boat, bike or bus
his Love still won't leave us
God's Love is unfailing
he Loves us more than we will ever know
and his Love will continue to grow.
As we walk through a new door
It is open wide for what you will find
The book has not been written
Each page is crisp and a sense of delight
A new beginning a chapter in the making
Ink starts the story across the easel
Pictures are painted within your thoughts
Lessons of before are now taught
Your own teacher of whats behind you
A knowing that to grow you must be tender
Live with your free spirit and mind
Let your heart love so kind
Give your all as you walk through the door
Let a thought of being togther be rewarding
As the sweet scent of adoring blooms
Kiss your soul as you walk into the room
Whisper to the moon that lights your path
Send secret wishes to the diamond of stars
The goddess of love will charm and grant
The moments as you walk through the door
Be truthfull of you and thats the best gift I give you
I promise you my descendants
that there's life and love in me who's alive,
and above all the kings.
I need your heart and soul,
as you need food
and water to drink so that you live.
I protect your wealth
so that you live in joy,
and i love you all to teach my words of joy.
I provide you enough knowledge,
to keep your self wise
and in you the world will stay forever.

No dread of disease in the darkness or disaster that strikes in the day
Can't sicken the stricken with voltage and venom or strike once again in the same
spot or place
Frowning face to sunshine smile...one step to another...mile after mile
The remedy flows through my once poisoned veins
No dread of disease in the darkness or disaster that strikes in the day
Satan slays while Jesus saves...fools fall fast into shallow graves
Faith like a fortress that won't be swayed
Healing hands across the universe
Another blessing just defeated the curse
Lost and found...loveless lepers get healed
The dark and depraved all get revealed
Black sheets and shrouds all burst into flames
No dread of disease in the darkness or disaster that strikes in the day
Stealing souls and giving grief...battlefields explode where saved ones sleep
Necronightmares all night long...dead ones singing Satans song
Crazed ones cough and choke on the chaos
Clarity comes and confusion gets lost
Gods love it shines and radiates
No dread of disease in the darkness or disaster that strikes in the day
Rising from beds like Lazuras...legions they panic because Heaven is hazardous
Injected with love and infested with light
Never again taking that death ride
Prejudice and pride put far to the side...never hesitate to put demons on their
backside
Even on the backslide...running faster and harder toward Gods judgement day
No dread of disease in the the darkness or disaster that strikes in the day
