“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight…” (Philippians 1:9)

Joy fills my heart,

Love abounds each day,

Blessings grace the steps

Of my pathway,

Hope uplifts my soul,

Peace comforts my mind,

Beauty and bliss

Are in all that I find,

Wisdom enriches thoughts,

Happiness sings in all I do…

Why, sweet Lord Jesus?

Because I have You!

Yes, You are my joy,

My song to sing,

My happiness, my bliss,

My endless blessing,

My unfailing hope,

My peace to endure,

Yes, everything lovely,

Everything pure.

So I lift my heart

In grateful adoration,

I sing a song

Of love and adoration,

I rejoice in all things,

In all that I do,

I sing of Your treasures

Timeless and true,

I share Your love

With all mankind,

As Your sweet love

Captivates my mind…

Yes, joy fills my heart,

Love abounds each day,

Because You are with me

Every step of the way!

Poem: God’s Goodness

God’s Goodness

Image courtesy zirconicusso at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes.” (Psalm 119:68)

Melodies of birds

Play around me,

Gentle breezes

Dance through the tree,

Sunshine embraces,

Blue skies stretch above,

Green fields invite

With refreshing love,

Joyful music plays

Deep in my heart…

To count God’s blessings,

Where can I start?

For His goodness

Is all around,

His sweet mercies

Surely abound,

His tender touch

Is in everything,

His happy voice

Makes the birds sing,

His endless grace

Kisses each flower,

His majesty radiates

In mountains that tower.

Yes, God’s goodness

Is here and everywhere,

Inspiring every bliss,

Drying every tear.

From our Father

All goodness starts,

Refreshing our spirits,

Uplifting our hearts,

Reminding us of heaven,

Of treasures above,

Filling our hearts with joy,

With limitless love…

Yes, as birds sing

Joyfully in the tree,

Let us sing of God’s goodness

Now and eternally!

Poem: I Trust in You, Jesus

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

I Trust in You, Jesus

Image courtesy siraphat at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“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: Sunshine You Are to Me

Sunshine You Are to Me

Image courtesy dan at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,
‘I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.'” (John 8:12)

When dark and gray

Are the clouds above me,

When tossed are the branches

Of the tree,

When deeply quiet

Is the bird’s song,

When the wind blows

Fierce and strong,

When rain falls

Upon the ground,

When dampness and cold

Seem to abound,

I cry out for You,

Your Name I call,

Asking You to save me

From it all,

To lift me high

In Your arms,

Where Your embrace

Wonderfully warms,

To dry my tears,

To kiss away the rain,

To wash away my hurt,

To erase my pain,

To sing of Heaven,

To smile with Your love,

To remind me of treasures

Waiting high above…

And suddenly sunshine

Seems to abound,

For eternal light

In Your eyes I’ve found,

Your Voice, my Jesus,

Is the sweetest song,

In Your arms

I forever belong,

Yes, when dark and gray

Are the clouds above me,

I rejoice in the Sunshine

You are to me!

How do you celebrate Jesus’ Sunshine?

Poem: Dancing Winds (A Song for Spring)

Dancing Winds (A Song for Spring)

Image courtesy feelart at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)

Winds dance

Through young leaves of spring,

Whispering of changes

My Creator does bring,

Singing of renewal,

Of things made new,

Of dark winter skies

Colored brilliantly blue,

Of pain and loss

Becoming fertile ground

For every sweet grace

My soul has found.

Yes, the winds dance

Through leaves of green,

Whispering of changes

Now yet unseen…

And so my heart

Smiles in this dance,

Singing of Jesus

Each and ev’ry chance,

For He is my Maker,

One renewing all,

He is Creator of seasons,

Of spring and fall,

He is the sunshine

Brightening the skies,

He is the hope

Wiping tears from my eyes.

So with dancing winds

Which now abound,

I sing of every grace

My soul has found,

I sing of renewal,

Of things made new,

Of dark winter skies

Colored brilliantly blue…

Yes, as winds dance

Through young leaves of spring,

I rejoice in the changes

My Jesus does bring!

How do you celebrate renewal and refreshment in Jesus?

Poem: Fresh Start

Fresh Start

Image courtesy Ikunl at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Every morning,

Every day I live,

A new beginning,

A fresh start You give,

A clean slate,

A time to start anew,

A brighter horizon,

A lovelier view,

A sweeter song,

A lighter heart,

A happier vision,

Yes, a fresh start…

Every day,

Lord Jesus, my King,

A fresh start

To me You bring.

The woes and worries

Of the day before,

I can let go

In mercies You pour.

Each tear and trial,

Each problem and pain,

I let go to You

Again and again.

For You are new life,

You are joy and peace,

So into Your hands

Everything I release.

New beginnings,

Yes, a fresh start,

I find in Your love,

I see in Your heart.

A clean slate,

A time to start anew,

My sweet Lord Jesus,

I find in You.

Yes, every morning

A fresh start You give…

So every moment for You

I choose to live!

How do you celebrate each fresh start in Christ?

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: Rainbow of Love

Rainbow of Love

Image courtesy Rosemary Ratcliff at www.freedigitalphotos.net

“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” ~ Genesis 9:13

Your rainbow of love

Shines above me,

A kiss of Your grace,

A touch of eternity,

A window to Heaven,

A song of grace,

A sign of Your mercy,

A glimpse of Your face,

A colorful gift,

A promise to endure,

A covenant holy,

A love ever pure…

Yes, Your rainbow of love

Above me does shine

With Your colors of grace

Delightful and divine.

So I will sing

In sun and in rain,

I will rejoice

In comfort and pain,

I will smile

No matter what You bring,

Yes, in all things

For You I will sing.

From the pain

You bring a joyful song,

Rooted in Your love

So wide, deep and long.

From the tears

You inspire smiles bright,

The depth of darkness

You melt with Your light.

The stormy days

With love You kiss,

Donning them with a rainbow

Of love and bliss.

Yes, Your colorful rainbow

Is Your promise to endure,

Your covenant holy,

Your love ever pure.

It leads me to Heaven,

Kisses me with grace,

Shows me Your mercy,

The light of Your face.

O, Your rainbow of love

Shines above me…

So, Jesus, I am yours

For all eternity!

How do you celebrate Jesus’ rainbow of love?

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?
