Best Strengthens Poems
One word is not enough to complete a sentence;
there must be more words defining wholeness;
one voice by itself is too weak to make an effect;
if that voice mingles with others, it has a stronger tone.
One man protesting unfairness is completely ignored;
the audacity of fearless men make them listen and comply.
Worthy ideals that can transform minds are never considered,
only brought to a pitiful ending; all free spirits must react.
One individual standing alone, facing the wrath of opponents
is incapable of bringing evil to justice; more unity is required.

childhood trauma strengthened her resolve
heartfelt survivors instinct
perilously fearless
Joy* midst Scriptures’ meditation
Communing with God during moments of devotion
Listening to His voice for divine instruction
While drawing nigh to Him plight’s intention
Cognizant that He hearkens to sincere supplication
Geared toward worshipful dedication…
Oh, strengthening gladness of the Lord in action
Empowers my faith for work fruition
Along His gracious constraining motion
Subduing slothfulness’ perdition.
*Nehemiah 8:10 … the joy of the LORD is your strength.

When no one is around he wears his crown to pick me up when I'm down
When I'm lonely with now where to go nowhere to grow he is there never letting me go
When my dreams are foggy when I'm uncertain losing my sight I see his bright light
When I need a hug a kiss a word of encouragement he is there to find to give it
When moments are dark and, I have fallen he is there he walks right up to catch me
When I have lost everything he restores my faith in him
Where would I be without him my life my heart I owe to him
for his name sake I praise for my life he gave me my life I
owe him I know him I adore him I worship his name higher
Than any other I'm safe now in his loving arms.

On October 04, 2020 I turned sixty six years young and I still remain a beloved daughter of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son. And the best years of my own earthly life, have really only just begun! I don't worry about tomorrow, because God holds the future in the tender loving palms of his hands. I don't worry about yesterday, for I am asking Jesus Christ to forgive all of my unconfessed previous sins. And finely I don't worry about today because, "He's got the whole world in his hands. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow."
My everlasting destiny is resting securely in the hands of the man from Galilee. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Son of Man. My ticket has already been punched, my fee of admission has already been paid. It didn't cost me anything, but it costs Him everything! God gave me his best, His only begotten Son. "Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Because I have freely given him my golden keys to unlock my heart's door, what wonderful blessings I have awaiting me in store. And not only to me but to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and have accepted his free gift of everlasting life!
I could buy the stairway to heaven, I could not work or earn my way into heaven. I can not purchase a gift which is already free to everyone including me. I can make it to heaven on my own merits or self worth. I was not saved by my works, but I will be judged and held accountable for them! Why should I store up treasures on earth? When my inheritance is in heavenly places?
I am a registered voter in the State of Washington United States of America, but my real citizenship is in my heavenly paradise! I just a pilgrim passing through, but I still care about my fellow humans and animals! I still try to make this place a better one to live in! By becoming a better person myself, because "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!"
Love in Christ Jesus!
