Poems for Comfort and Inspiration
Tested by GOD
by John Ecob
A heart-rending poem about loss and grief, gain and joy.
It is beautifully set out over two pages and ends with the words... I know that my Redeemer lives; He took away, but now He gives Far more than I could ever lose; To change the plan, I would not choose.

Forgiveness Is Best
by Judi Young
When Jesus said, “Forgive them
For they know not what they do,” He was setting us a pattern Of all that we should do. Be kind to one another, Tender-hearted and forgive, Not bitter, speaking evil, Christ died that we might live. If we are made in His image, His ways must always show Within the lives that WE live, That all who see may know. So let us not be angry with Our sister or our brother. Forgive each one with all your heart, Have love for one another. Malice is not good for us, It does not show Christ’s love. It spoils our hearts’ true oneness With our Lord and God above.

An Attitude of Trust
by Judi Young
For God So Loved the World
by Judi Young
There is no need to perish,
The Father has decreed. Jesus is the payment For all our sins indeed. He came not to condemn the world, The world He came to save, That we might have eternal life And live beyond the grave. So if you care not to believe There is no fence to sit on. Eternal death will be your end With nothing else to count on. 
Safe in God's Hands
by Elsie Flake
Each morning when I wake I say,
‘I place my hand in God’s today!’ With faith and trust that by my side He’ll walk with me, my steps to guide. He leads me with the tenderest care, When paths are dark and I despair. No need for me to understand If I hold fast to His great hand. My hand in God's; no surer way To walk in safety through each day. By His great bounty I am fed, Warmed by His love, and comforted. When at day’s end I seek my rest, And realize how much I’m blessed, My thanks pour out to Him, and then I place my hand in God’s again. 
Those We Love
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
They say the world is round, and yet
I often think it's square; So many little hurts we get from corners here and there. There is one truth in life I've found while journeying east and west, The only folk we really wound are those we love the best. The choicest garb, the sweetest grace are oft to strangers shown; The careless word, the frowning face, are given to our own. We flatter those we scarcely know, we please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those we love the best. Download the image as a reminder :)
