I wrote this poetry form years ago, praying it would reverberate my life. I promise it encourages, challenges too inspires you lot to honey Christ more.
This passage of Scripture is my inspiration for this poem: "I reckon everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I reckon them garbage, that I may arrive at Christ too last industrial plant life inward him, non having a righteousness of my ain that comes from the law, merely that which is through faith inward Christ." Philippians 3:8-9
The Bible wore her imprint
It’s comprehend soft from use
The pages rubbed too wrinkled
The binding coming loose
And fifty-fifty if this Christian
And her Bible were apart
She nonetheless would bring it amongst her
Hidden inward her heart
Oh brand me such a woman, Lord
Who hungers to last fed
Who cherishes a occupation from You
More than her daily bread
And when my days are over
May it last my epitaph
“She longed to pass
more fourth dimension amongst Him
And similar a shot is doing that.”
