Christmas

“Christmas Tree” by Sura Nualpradid

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Rejoice, rejoice,

Christmas is here;

Rejoice, rejoice,

Our Savior’s birth is near.

Come one, come all,

For Him let us prepare;

With all whom we meet

Good tidings let us share:

The Wonderful Counselor,

The Father Everlasting,

The Prince of Peace,

The King of every king –

Upon His shoulders

The government He will bear;

He will heal diseases,

Wipe away every tear.

Let us go to Bethlehem,

Let us our Savior greet,

Let us bring gifts to Him,

Let us sing hymns sweet.

For do you not feel

How His love draws you?

Do you not long deeply

To be near to Him too?

We will follow His star

Despite any danger;

We will travel the hills

To find His manger.

Behold His brilliance,

Behold His shining love,

Surely He is the Gift

Of God Almighty above.

Kneeling before Him now,

We give Him praise;

We adore You, O Jesus,

To You our hearts we raise.

Mere sinners we are,

Heal us with Your light;

Guide us on our pathways,

Shine into our night.

O Wonderful Counselor,

Father Everlasting,

Prince of Peace,

King of every king –

We embrace joyfully

Love and light You share;

Your gifts are immeasurable,

Gifts without compare.

O, Christmas is here,

What have we to fear?

We rejoice, we rejoice,

For to us Jesus is near.

Christ Lives in Me

“Countryside” by Dan

Christ Lives in Me

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Filled with Your Spirit,

Lord, I long to be;

Filled with Your love

Now and all eternity.

Lord, grant that I

May be ever more like You;

Grant that I travel

Your way perfect and true.

Rich with Your truth

Let be the words I say;

Radiant with Your joy

May I shine day to day.

When others see my life,

May they see only You;

May Your sweet presence

Grace everything I do.

My very self I lose

In the depths of Your heart;

Together we are bound,

Never will we part.

No longer for myself

Do these days I live;

For You and Your glory

My life I gladly give.

For I no longer live,

Rather Christ lives in me;

I praise You for this truth,

For immeasurable mercy.

Move me with Your Spirit,

Make my pathway clear,

No matter where I am,

Lord, also be there.

Yea, take my hand,

Show me Your will;

Into the depths of my heart

Let Your Spirit fill.

This precious paradox,

My Jesus, I find in You:

When I release my life,

I then find life true.

So fill me with Your Spirit,

Jesus, live in me;

I rejoice in Your love

Now and all eternity.

“Christ lives in me…”

How do you celebrate this truth in your walk with Him?

Precious You Are

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
“Sparrow” by Paul Brentnall

“So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:31

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Child, so very precious

You are to Me;

Open your heart now,

Let your eyes see.

For I will show

How much you are worth;

I will display the value

Of your precious birth.

Do you see

The mountains stretching high?

Do you see

The many birds as they fly?

Far more than all these

You are worth to Me,

Far more than every stream,

Every ocean, every sea.

Do you see

Countless leaves on the trees?

Do you hear the music

In the sound of the breeze?

Do you see the flowers

Bloom in colors bright?

Do you feel the sun

Warming you with its light?

More precious are you,

Your soul is a treasure;

For this reason, My child,

I love you with no measure.

Do you see the sparkle

Of pure silver and of gold?

Do you see the glow

Of stars from days of old?

More than precious metals,

Than all the stars in the sky,

Is your worth to Me,

Your God, the Most High.

Do you see the Cross

There on the hill of Calvary?

Do you see Me bleed for you

There upon the tree?

I sweat drops of blood,

A heavy Cross I bore,

Nails pierced Me through,

A thorny crown I wore:

So precious you are to Me,

All this I chose to do;

Do you now sense

How much I treasure you?

Let Me hold you close,

Let Me keep you in my heart;

I will treasure you always,

As I have from the start.

For, child, so very precious

You are to Me;

Embrace My love for you

Now and for all eternity.

~*~

Worth “more than many sparrows” you are to the Lord; you are precious in His sight. How does this truth transform your life?

Reader Reviews for

Purposeful Pathway: Your Journey with Jesus:

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!”

The Harvest

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
“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.

The day of the harvest approaches! What are some ways you labor for the Labor in anticipation?

Your Will Be Done

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
“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.

“Your Kingdom come, Your will be done…” What are some ways in which You allow God’s will to be done in your life?

Thanksgiving and Praise

Image Courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
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.

Let us “enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise” today and every day! How do you show thanksgiving and praise to God?
