Forever Joyful Inspirational Christian Poem by Caroline Gavin of Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching www.PurposefulPathway.com

I Trust in You, Jesus

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.” (Psalm 56:3)

When I am afraid,

I will trust in You,

Sweet Lord Jesus,

I promise to.

On whom else can I call?

To whom else can I cling

Who else to me

Gives everything?

Who else will wipe

The tears from my eyes?

Who else will dry

The rain in the skies?

Yes, when I am afraid,

I will trust in Your name,

For with You, my Lord,

Nothing is the same.

The gray days grow

Luminously bright,

The sunshine glows

Through dark of night,

The joyful songs spring

From depths of sorrows,

Mournful yesterdays

Become blissful tomorrows,

Endless valleys

Become tops of the mount,

The parched desert

Becomes the flowing fount…

So here and now

When the tears do fall,

Your Name, Sweet Jesus,

I do call.

Surely You wipe

The tears from my eyes,

Your kisses fall

As rain from the skies,

And to Your hand

I joyfully cling,

As surely to me

You give everything…

Yes, when I am afraid,

I know what to do:

Sweet Lord Jesus,

I will trust in You!

What are some ways in which trusting in Jesus has brought you peace and joy?

Poem: Comfort of Christ

Comfort of Christ

Image courtesy Sura Nualpradid at www.freedigitialphotos.net

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

When challenges encounter,

When trials beset me,

When obstacles and mountains

Are all that I see,

When my heart aches,

When tears brim in my eye,

When I long to escape,

To be free and to fly,

I look up to You,

Your Name I call,

I ask You to lift me

When I stumble and fall…

You smile at me,

You reach out Your hand,

You remind me lovingly

Only good You planned,

You show me the horizon

So beautiful and bright,

You kiss my pathway

With Your sweet sunlight,

You whisper of heaven,

Of treasures in store,

You show I have everything,

Indeed even more.

Yes, You dry my tears,

You kiss away each one

With soft sparkling rays

Of the shining sun.

So I need not worry

When I stumble and fall,

As You are here with me

Always through it all,

You bring joy to my heart,

A sparkle to my eye,

You set my soul free

To soar and to fly…

Yes, beautiful bliss

Is now the vista I see,

As You, my sweet Jesus,

Are here with me!

How has Christ comforted you?

Treasure of Trust

The Treasure of Trust

Image courtesy Dr. Joseph Valks at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.” (Psalm 13:5)

When foggy

Is the horizon before you,

When confused you are,

Not knowing what to do,

When pained is your heart,

When tears fill your eye,

When raindrops endlessly

Fall from the sky,

When weak is your soul,

When rocky is your way,

When darkness enshrouds

Your night and your day,

Trust in Me,

Yes, trust Me, My child,

For My way is perfect,

I am loving and mild.

I am working all things

For Your very best,

So trust in Me, child,

Yes, please find rest.

Nothing you encounter

Do I not allow,

I work all for good,

Though you know not how.

So smile, little one,

Look up now at Me,

In My eternal eyes

Is it not love you see?

Surely for best

I work all things,

So trust in the good

My provision brings.

Bright I will make

Your night and your day,

I will pave with grace

Your purposeful way.

I will wipe every tear

From your eye,

I will brighten with sunshine

The once gray sky.

Yes, trust in Me,

Trust in all that I do…

As eternal is my love,

Sweet child, for you!

How do you express your treasure of trust?

Poem: Make My Spirit Fly

Make My Spirit Fly

Image courtesy markuso at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

When my heart is heavy,

When tears brim in my eye,

When I long like a bird

To escape and to fly,

When the way is dim,

When I am weak and weary,

When all about seems

So dark and dreary,

I see a glimmer

Of Your love-filled light,

Like the dawn of day

You shine through my night…

And my heart cannot help

But feel a surge of peace,

As into Your hands

All I am I release.

Every worry, every woe,

Every trial, every tear,

Every pain, every problem,

Every fight, every fear –

All I release

To You, Jesus, my King,

And I embrace the goodness

Your loving hands bring.

You pave my path

With bright light You shine,

You kiss away tears

With Your love divine,

You instill a song

Ever beautiful, ever new;

Yes, lovely is all You are,

All You say, all You do.

You make strong my bones

Once weak and weary,

You make bright the valleys

Once dark and dreary.

Yes, You restore the sparkle,

The pure joy in my eye…

Jesus, You are my light,

You make my spirit fly!

How does Jesus make your spirit fly?

Everlasting Arms

Image courtesy Witthaya Phonsawat at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms..” Deuteronomy 33:27a

In Your everlasting arms

Is where I will be

For there I find peace

Sweetly embrace me.

There I find joy

Boundless and true;

There I feel love

Flowing from You.

There I know purpose

Infinite and pure;

There I know

I am safe and secure.

So, my sweet Jesus,

Hold me ever near,

For there in Your arms

I have nothing to fear.

Heaven is Your smile,

Paradise is Your kiss;

Being in Your presence

Is true love and bliss.

A lovelier place

I will never know,

As limitless love

In Your arms I know.

Yes, here I find joy

Boundless and true;

Here I feel love

Flowing from You.

In Your everlasting arms

Is where I will be,

Close to Your heart

For all eternity.

How do you celebrate God’s everlasting arms?

Poem: Sunshine and Rain

Sunshine and Rain

Image courtesy Sarah Arbogast at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“He dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.” ~ 2 Samuel 23:4

Sunshine and rain,

You need both, My child,

The days that are stormy,

The days that are mild,

The rains that pour,

The skies of bright blue,

Winters to rest,

Springtimes to renew,

The sowing, the harvest,

The night, the day,

The cloudless skies,

The dark skies of gray,

For tell Me, child,

Have you seen the flower,

What makes it grow?

What is its power?

Surely the blossom

Needs sun and rain,

Just as the soul

Needs joy and pain.

So trust Me always

In all that I send,

For I am Your Guide,

Always Your Friend.

I allow in your life

Only what is best,

While here in My arms

You find sweet rest.

Should the raindrops

Pour from the sky,

Should the tears

Stream from your eye,

Remember these waters

Nourish blossoms to grow,

Remember in pain

My grace does grow.

I give winters to rest,

Springtimes to renew,

The rains that pour,

The skies of blue,

The days that are stormy,

The days that are mild;

Yes, sunshine and rain,

I give both, My child!

How do you embrace both sunshine and rain?

Compassion of Christ

Image courtesy wiangya at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16 NIV)

With tender eyes

You look upon me,

Extending Your hand,

Giving mercy,

Showing compassion

For all of my pain,

Wiping my tears

Again and again,

Whispering to me

Words to heal,

Relating each moment

To how I feel…

Yes, sweet compassion,

Tenderness true,

Limitless love

I find in You.

No pain of mine

Do You not know,

Everything I feel

You feel also.

Tempted You were

In every way,

So You understand my frailty

Day by day.

Richly You bless

From Your throne of grace

With immeasurable mercy,

An eternal embrace,

Showing compassion

For all of my pain,

Revealing the treasures

In You I gain.

Yes, extending Your hand,

You give mercy:

Such compassion, O Jesus,

You have for me!

How has the compassion of Christ healed your pain?

Poem: Open Your Eyes

Image courtesy Feelart at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~ Job 12:7-10

Look at the birds,

What do you see?

Do you appreciate a dance

Orchestrated by Me?

Listen closely to the sea,

What do you hear?

Do you sense My symphony

Splashing ever clear?

Breathe deep in the garden,

What do you smell?

Do you taste Heaven

More than words tell?

Embrace the sunshine,

What do you feel?

Do you experience love

Ever perfect, ever real?

Yes, look and listen closely,

Breathe, feel and taste,

Let no precious moment

Ever go to waste.

For all around you,

In each and every thing,

Are wondrous windows

To my endless blessing.

I love you immeasurably,

So My gifts abound;

Open your eyes to miracles

Unfolding all around.

Listen closely to the sea,

Be still to hear

My sweet eternal symphony

Splashing ever clear.

And as the birds dance,

Delight in what you see,

For these gifts, My child,

Open your eyes to Me.

Blessed are you when you open your eyes to Jesus’ treasures! How do you celebrate His glorious gifts?

More Than I Long For…

Jesus Gives More Than I Can Ask…

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

More than I want,

Lord, to me You give.

Sweeter than I imagine

Is life in You to live.

More than I wish,

More than I desire,

More than I long for

Is Your burning fire.

More than I dream,

More than I pray,

More than I envision

Is Your perfect Way.

Yes, glory of glories,

Delight of delights,

Is Your love teeming

Through days and nights.

It embraces and comforts,

Uplifts and transforms.

It inspires and beautifies,

Brightens and warms.

It caresses my skin

In the light summer breeze.

It brings chills to my soul

As I pray on my knees.

It sings to my heart

In the psalms of the bird;

It renews my spirit

In the power of Your Word.

What dream can I dream

More lovely than Your love?

What can I desire more

Than Your gifts from Above?

Imagine my mind,

Desire my heart

No sweeter truth than

You and I shall never part.

My Master, my Jesus,

How You love me so;

You cling to my hand

Wherever I go.

With joy and peace

You adorn my pathway;

With hope and love

You grace every day.

Your eyes shimmer

As the ocean deep,

Sparkling with treasures

You lovingly keep.

Yes, eternal treasures

I hear in Your Name:

Love, Life, Jesus

Are one and the same.

Rejoice I shall then,

Always I shall rejoice.

Beloved, I delight

In music of Your voice.

More than I dream,

More than I pray,

More than I envision

Is Your perfect Way.

More than I wish,

More than I desire,

More than I long for

Is Your burning fire.

More than I want,

Yes, my Jesus, You give.

Sweeter than I imagine

Is life in You to live.

Dawn of New Day

Dawning Light of Jesus

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

The sun bursts in the sky,

The rays warm my heart:

Glorious to witness

A new day at its start.

Such is the entry

Of dawn on the earth,

Such is the triumph:

A new day at its birth.

For light overcomes

The darkness of night.

Yes, darkness surrenders

To the glory of light.

The truth of the Lord

Shines in this way;

The truth of Christ

Shines bright as the day.

Though darkness is deep,

Though sin is vast,

None can overcome

Light of First and Last.

Glory, Glory to God,

For the Light He gives.

Praise to our Father:

His goodness lives.

His goodness and truth

Prevail forevermore;

His love and His light

Eternally endure.

Dance I shall then

In the warmth of His rays.

Sing I shall of Him

All my life, all my days.

I shall join hands

With sister and brother;

We lift our hearts to God

And uplift one another.

Rejoicing in the Son-light,

Rejoicing in its rays,

Rejoicing in Jesus –

His love does amaze!

His Light overcomes

The darkness of night.

Yes, darkness surrenders

To the glory of Light.

Such is the entry

Of Truth on the earth,

Such is the triumph:

Jesus Christ brings rebirth.

His Light fills my soul,

His rays warm my heart:

Glorious to witness

New Life at its start.

In what ways has the Dawning Light of Jesus brought you New Life?
