Best Offers Poems
Meeting you was like being greeted by sunlight
The hair on my skin reaching to take you all in
Embellishing the energy you radiate from within
Just feeling your rays running along my skin
Such warmth and happiness envelopes my heart
You make me realise I’m alive inside once again
Knocking on that door of chance and a new friend
Love again, a place that I would never expect to see
But this is the dream that someday I know will come
The mystery man that I meet who offers me the sun
Will You Accept What Jesus Offers You?
Jesus offers you... A love
and a deep affection...
Only in him, can you find
beauty and perfection.
He offers you... True value
and a deep fulfillment...
Only in him, can you find an
everlasting commitment.
He offers you, life that's
forever eternal.
And is awaiting to put your
name in heaven's journal...
He offers you, much more
than this world can give.
Only in him... Can you find a true reason to live!
He offers you, a love
that's 100% pure.
Only in him, can you find a love that’s secure!
He offers you, another
day to make a choice.
Won't you come to him now?
And listen to his voice?
He offers you, one last
chance to enter his glory.
And learn of salvation and his
wondrous love story!
He offers you, a life that took
death upon the cross.
And is your only hope when all
seems hopeless and lost!
Won't you accept his offer...
And call on his name?
And allow him into your life...
To rule and to reign?
His offer to you is a promise
of love and atonement.
Won't you come to him now?
He could come this very moment!

Jesus Offers True Hope!
Jesus offers hope, when there’s
none to be found!
He’s there to pick you up,
when you fall down!
He offers an everlasting love
that no else could ever give!
And brings a peace and the power to forgive!
He brings to a life a true foundation and stability.
And brings true contentment and tranquility!
This can be the time for you to accept him!
He wants to be your friend.
Won’t you let him?
Because of Jesus, you can hope
for tomorrow!
His love can wipe away
all pain and sorrow!
He offers his grace and mercy.
You can receive it!
Simply put your faith in him, and believe it!
Once you receive Christ,
you’ll never be the same!
Simply come as you are,
and believe in HIS name!

God offers His love, abundant and free
Authored in heaven, perfectly sublime
Paid by Christ’s blood of sacrifice-degree…
See and own it now to enjoy faith climb!
God reveals His love, radiant with truth’s light
Bringing hope’s bliss – gloriously triumphant
Reaching to us with forgiveness delight…
Show its might now thru kindness, jubilant!
God magnifies His love midst pain and woes
To vanquish fears of anxieties' travail
Assured by His Word that conquers sorrows…
Shine now, extending good deeds that prevail!
God grants His love* with peace-iridescence
Share it now, beautifying life’s essence.
*1John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Great is one who ACCEPT ONEs errors
Human has weakness of pointing fingers
And hunting scapegoat to camouflage own errors
Temporary can be relief from criticism that errors trigger
Others may get convinced but guilt in conscience ever lingers
Greater is one who ACCEPT OTHERs errors
Acceptance relieves the burden of punishing other
Generates atmosphere for searching solution together
Positivity leading path better, committed error on backburner
Others love and adore for treating as human, vulnerable to error
Greatest is one who FORGIVES other errors
Ever heard complaint from trees, mountains, river ?
Humans use, abuse, but Natures bounty shower forever
Forgiveness is subtle respecting own Soul through Soul in other
Humans ought to learn from HIM, despite sins Salvation path HE offers

“… The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible
Life offers myriad great venture-gain
Toward the best, bright, blissful promised land
Coming from the breath-Source of goodness reign…
The Creator Who makes survival grand.
Life opens ways for jubilation days
Since God cheers toward better tomorrow
When failures come along frustration gaze
Midst detours or short cuts from trials' blow.
Life optimizes love, grace and hope’s zest
As well as wondrous mercy, faith, truth, light
Welcoming each one to enjoy all best
From the Lord, granting bountiful delight.
Life now I choose with praise and worship mirth
Grateful to God* for my existence worth.

Serving God offers no bed of roses
With obvious “thorns in the flesh” sorrows
Brought by persecution darts and arrows
Yet, He upholds me with His promises.
Following God requires my yielded heart
Despite despair from rigorous struggles
Midst entrapment in challenges-tangles
Thus, in Christ, I stay; never to depart.
Pursuing after God gives sure delight
While I entreat for His gracious favor
Trusting that He is pleased with faith’s fervor
Glowing in the brightness of service light.
Abiding in God refreshes my soul
While I linger in His joyous presence
Enclosed by divine peace-iridescence
Confessed sin-guilt pardoned, making me whole.
Seeking God ushers me to His wisdom
Attesting great sovereign omniscience
Defying lustful, worldly, proud conscience
Toward love-propped ministerial kingdom.
*Matthew 16:24 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

My past taught me to always be myself, no matter what.
Hiding just causes an inner cold.
I hid behind lies.
I hid because I was afraid of what people would say,
but I lost part of myself and felt stuck in a world I couldn't see.
Now I accept myself completely.
I love my mistakes because they make me who I am.
I never accept proposals that hide me in difficulty.
Hiding means living in darkness.
However, being yourself means living in the evening sun.
So I stand tall, head held high,
embracing my genuine self, with no cause to hide,
for I am a reflection of all that I've been through,
and my tale is a love letter to me, from me to you.
Everything gold
Venom offers Venus apple
Adam can't refuse.

We live our lives as though everything around us doesn't even exist.
If for a moment we all stop and see what beauty lies within ourselves, From the air we breath, To the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
To the mountains that stan so high.
And to the sun that shine ever so bright.
These are the things most people ignore to see.
But it's up to you and me to take a moment just to see what life has to offer for you and me.
Jesus Offers His Love!
Jesus offers his love
with deep affection.
Only in him, can one find
love and perfection.
He offers true value
and deep fulfillment...
Only in him, can one find an
eternal commitment.
He offers a life that's
joyful and eternal.
And waits to put your
name in heaven's journal...
He offers much more
than this world can give.
Only in him can one find a reason to live!
He offers a message
that's 100% secure.
Only in him, can one find a love that’s pure!
He offers another
day to make a choice.
Won't you come now?
And listen to his voice?
He offers one more
chance to enter his glory.
And learn of salvation and his
wondrous love story!
He offers a life that took
death upon the cross.
And is your only hope when all
seems hopeless and lost!
Won't you accept his offer
and call on his name?
And allow him into your life
to rule and to reign?
His offer to you, is a promise
of love and atonement!
Won't you come to him now?
He could come this very moment!

Inside fortress* that offers rest
my weary soul breathes out blest sigh
lulled to slumber midst noisy pest
while to the Saviour I draw nigh
My heart welcomes music of hope
inside fortress that offers rest
as misty eyes serenely cope
with guitar strums reaching love’s crest.
Etching my mind with winning zest
Word of God prods me to fight pain
inside fortress that offers rest
smiting doubt’s cajole --- by faith’s gain.
Now, I’ll soar for triumphant flight
since revived, warmed in prayer nest
as lilacs waft courageous plight
inside fortress that offers rest.
*Psalms 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Grace*

God’s bounty
midst dearth’s despair…
Gifts!

Santa and Dasher had a quiet talk in the glen
They discussed the elf situation, and the presents so thin.
I do not have to get paid this year, Dasher admitted.
I have condos and townhouses, and my monies well fitted.
That would not be fair, Santa told his generous reindeer.
I could not accept such charity; though your intent is clear.
The other reindeer have investments and wealth plenty I bet.
We’ll donate our salaries to help you make all toys you can get.
The elves were on board, and said pay us in cookies, not money.
Mrs. Claus said “They are wanting to do this. Let’s let them, Honey.”
Santa had forgotten how wonderful the feeling of giving can be.
Finally, he said yes, giving a healthy thanks for their generosity.
In the deep night of my soul, when the world offers me a separate realm to dwell,
A blessed curse, having only myself, I find myself again,
Caressed by the melancholy of a red silence, like a dream lost at dawn.
Surrounded by demons, devouring my peace, I find serenity in a blood-red sky,
Cursed by my inner storm, a sweet chaos, a dance of shadows,
In which I lose and find myself, like the echo of a forgotten scream.
They first gave me the world, then sought to leave, just as I fell prey to love
For what I couldn't keep, an evanescent love, like a dream that vanishes at sunrise,
A flame that burns intensely, but extinguishes too quickly in the night of eternity.
Perhaps it's good to leave some things unfinished, to let the story
Get lost on the horizon, where no one waits, perhaps not all stories
Need an ending, some things are more beautiful in their incompleteness.
Like an unfinished symphony, like a half-realized painting,
Like a dream you can't touch, but feel in the depths of your heart,
And so, I lose myself in the stream of consciousness, like a river flowing aimlessly.
Carrying me through landscapes of thoughts and emotions, an endless journey,
Through a labyrinth of feelings, where each corner hides a part of me,
Each shadow whispers a forgotten tale, each ray of light promises a new beginning.
