Reader Reviews for

Michael Fenton: “Such beautiful work! Caroline’s poetic words bring you closer and closer to Jesus with each and every word. The daily devotion is a great way to start the day and the message left is something that remains with you all day long. Though times are tough and frustration is all about this inspirational piece of work directs us to focus on what really is important in life. I would recommend this beautiful, inspirational piece of work to all!

Ann Musico: “I have just begun reading this truly beautiful devotional in these weeks before Easter and I can say from what I’ve read so far, this is a wonderful tool to use in these next 40 days to draw even closer to Jesus. Caroline’s poetry is not only lyrical and beautiful, but deeply spiritual and insightful. You will not only enjoy each day’s poetic devotion, you will carry its truth with you all throughout the day and find you have been focused on Jesus effortlessly! I thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend you buy one for yourself and one as a gift for someone you love.”

Rob Clinton: “This book is such a magical and elegant masterpiece. Caroline’s poetic creativity is an absolute manifestation of God throughout all of her writing, as she truly brings the love of Christ to life. I’m almost without words, but will definitely be going back and including this as part of my daily inspirational reminders and devotionals. This is must read and devotional for all people of faith. If you don’t know Christ, then let this be your excuse to begin that journey.”

Kim Hall: “Caroline’s poetry touches the heart and refreshes the soul as she pours out a message of comfort and love, and hope and joy from the Lord. Her deep love for Christ is evident as she invites you to grow a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with Him, wherever you are on your path. I encourage you to take time to refill at the proverbial well by visiting Caroline at Purposeful Pathway today – and by taking the 40-Day Journey with Jesus!”

Lisa Keva:

“My whole FAMILY has been blessed by this book. Who knew that you could use a book of Jesus-centered poetry as a personal AND family devotional?

Embark, dear Christian, on a journey
An inspiring journey of forty days
Growing ever closer to our Lord
Ever more aligned with His ways

On this 40 days of renewal and growth, the author takes you through the topics of love, commitment, truth, forgiveness, children and much more directing you in the right paths. This book of poetry will help focus your thoughts on Jesus. His life, His ministry and how He would want us to walk out our purpose in this life.”

 

Share a gift of love, peace and joy. Share the journey with Jesus!
God’s richest blessings to you this Christmas season!

The Harvest

The Harvest

The Harvest Poem by Caroline Gavin of Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching

“Wheat Field”

“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matthew 13:30

 

Refreshed I am

Breathing the crisp fall air;

The leaves are vibrant,

The blue sky clear.

 

Though winter is nigh,

Life is at her peak;

In the glorious colors

I hear You speak:

 

“Daughter, rejoice now,

For I am close to you;

Child, I am here

To guide all you do.”

 

“See the glory

Of the colors in the fall?

Does it not remind

That I am King of all?”

 

“Feel the cool air,

Feel the crisp breeze?

Hear the clapping

Of leaves on the trees?”

 

“Is not the world

Amidst a celebration?

Do you hear the song

Of all of creation?”

 

“The harvest is here,

Celebrate now with Me;

One day I will harvest

For all eternity.”

 

“The wheat from weeds

I will separate;

Look forward to it,

To treasures that await.”

 

“A room in My mansion

You have in store;

How can I do less

For the child I adore?”

 

“So in this harvest

With Me now sing;

I am the Source

Of every good thing.”

 

Yea, Lord, I delight

To celebrate the harvest;

You work all for good,

Indeed all for best.

 

I look forward to the day

I am Home with You;

All things You beautify,

All things You renew.

 

Praise You, O Jesus,

I feel You in fall air;

And in colors of the harvest

Your love shines clear.

“Nice Sun Ray in Cave” by wiangya

“…your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard

Your will be done,

One with Yours may mine be;

Your will be done, Lord,

Now and for all eternity.

 

Your will be done, Lord,

In all I do and say;

Your will be done

Every moment, every day.

 

Your will be done

When the sun shines bright;

Your will be done

In the dark of night.

 

Your will be done

On the towering mountain;

Your will be done

In the flowing fountain.

 

Your will be done,

Lord Jesus, in all these;

I pray Your precious heart

I forever please.

 

Grant that my life

With Your will does align;

May my path be one

With Your way divine.

 

Should You see me

Wander from Your way,

Call me back

With gentle words You say.

 

I long to be, Lord Jesus,

Always by Your side;

Reign in my heart,

In Yours I shall abide.

 

Your will be done,

This is my one desire.

Your will, Your love:

This is my heart’s fire.

 

Today, tomorrow,

Now and forevermore,

I am the vessel of Your will,

For it is You I adore.

 

Your will be done, Lord,

Hear me always say;

Your will be done,

Every moment, every day.

 

Your will be done,

One with Yours may mine be;

Your will be done, Lord,

Now and for all eternity.

Shut Iron Spiked Gates by Marcus

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Thanksgiving and praise

Fill my heart;

To speak of Your works,

Where can I start?

 

Too numerous to count,

Too glorious to say,

Such are Your deeds,

Such is Your way.

 

Above all and in all,

Indeed through all things,

You are my Creator,

My King of kings.

 

Without You, Lord,

Life itself would end;

You sustain and love me,

My God, my Friend.

 

So with thanksgiving

I enter now Your gates;

For You, You alone,

My heart celebrates.

 

I dance in Your courts

With praise and song;

I sing of Your glory

All day long.

 

Indeed I praise You

For all eternity;

How can I not sing

Of all You do for me?

 

Your glory shining

Is brilliant to behold;

The beauty of Your presence

Brighter than gold.

 

I live by Your Word,

By all that You say;

You are Life, Love,

Truth and the Way.

 

Yea, thanksgiving and praise

Forever fill my heart;

Glory to You, O God,

How great Thou art.

“Squash” by Jeff Ratcliff

(Send as an Inspirational Thanksgiving eCard)

The aroma of apple pie

Wafts in the air,

Sounds of stories

Around the table to share,

 

Praise and prayer,

Laughter and song:

Here with my family,

Here I belong.

 

Thanks be to our God

For all He does give,

Thanks be to our God

For this life we live.

 

How blessed we are

To gather here each year,

To create memories

With those we hold dear.

 

How precious it is

To be with one another:

Mother and father,

Sister and brother.

 

Throughout the festivity,

The turkey and pie,

Our hearts are raised

To God, the Most High.

 

Yet when the day ends,

When we must part,

Surely Thanksgiving

Still lives in the heart.

 

Give thanks we shall

Each and every day;

Let us glorify God

In all we do and say.

 

Thanksgiving is not a day

But a state of mind;

Let us live gratefully,

Being humble and kind.

 

Thankful for Jesus Christ

Above all let us be:

 His death on the Cross

Gave us life eternally.

 

So Thanksgiving Day

And indeed forevermore

Let us sing praises

To the One we adore.

 

With praise and prayer,

Laughter and song,

We rejoice in Jesus,

For with Him we belong.

 

And as aroma of apple pie

Wafts in the air,

We savor Christ’s love,

Sweet beyond compare.

The Balkans by Evgeni Dinev

 

“…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

No matter what, I am with you,

No matter what, I am here;

No matter what happens, child,

Your Savior is near.

 

Should the mountains tumble,

Should the sea run dry,

Should the sun stop shining,

Should the birds no longer fly,

 

Should any of these happen,

I am still close to you;

No matter what happens,

Trust this to be true.

 

From My love, My child,

You can never flee;

For everything around you

Is sustained by Me.

 

So when the storms come,

When plans go awry,

When your heart is weary,

When you begin to cry,

 

I am still with you

Through all of these things;

I am here to help you,

Your King of kings.

 

As this is so,

Why, child, do you fear?

Remember I am with you,

Your Jesus is near.

 

I will hold your hand,

I will lift you when you fall,

I will answer lovingly

When I hear you call.

 

Do not worry one moment,

Cast your cares upon Me;

Let me carry you in My arms

On the path to eternity.

 

No matter what happens

I am still close to you;

Rejoice in My presence,

In My love eternal and true.

 

Should the mountains tumble,

Should the sea run dry,

Should the sun stop shining,

Should the birds no longer fly,

 

No matter what, I am with you,

No matter what, I am here;

No matter what happens, child,

Your Jesus is near.

 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Revelation 22:20

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Upward to the skies

I lift my head,

For I know my Lord Jesus

Rose from the dead.

 

He ascended

In clouds of the sky

To unite with His Father,

The Eternal Most High.

 

So too upon the clouds

He will return again;

With eager expectation

I wait until then.

 

Come, Lord Jesus,

Come to Your children here;

Reign upon the earth,

To our souls be near.

 

Come, Lord Jesus,

How we long for You;

You are the Source of love,

Of all good and true.

 

Come, Lord Jesus,

With might and glory;

Surely heaven and earth

Proclaim Your story:

 

You humbled Yourself

To become a man;

You suffered the Cross,

Embraced the Father’s plan.

 

Blood You shed

To cleanse us from sin;

In Your wounds, O Lord,

Eternal life does begin.

 

Born again in You,

Not of this world we are;

So upward we look

To You, O Morning Star.

 

As lightning flashes

East to west in the sky,

So too You will come,

Lord Jesus, Most High.


Come, Lord Jesus,

Reign upon the earth now;

Our devotion to You,

Lord Jesus, we vow.

 

And as an eternal flame

In our hearts You burn,

So come, Lord Jesus,

We long for Your return.
