The Greatest Miracle...
Many miracles God has done,
Not the least, was to give His Son.
To pay a debt we could not pay,
Bringing to us salvation's way.
He took the sins from you and me,
And paid for them on Calvary.
Oh, what a miracle indeed,
That from our sins we can be freed.
All we must do is to believe,
Then God's forgiveness we receive!

Thank you Bonnie. I just had to write one on this verse when we could choose verses. This one says so much. I will get it in the e-mail to you since you want it. Anyways, thanks for reading and for your kind comments. God Bless. much love and hugs, Penny

Exquisite
I don't think I could say anything that would top what already has been said, Penny! The greatest miracle of all was that someone would even be willing to die for all our past sins, that gift being Jesus considering us His friends. This piece is wonderfully simple and gets right to the heart of the matter. Now, email it to me for Monday's NUTS! I mean it!
I do so hope this glorious poem placed in the contest; for it is most deserving!
Lots of love and hugs, B¢¾nnieQ

This is wonderful it was so easy to read with the way you split it up into short stanza's. Also I liked the rhyme which was easy on the head. It was a light gentle poem. Lovely.

Very simple, yet beautifully spoken. It's funny, I have always thought that verse was almost too simple. It seems like it should have more impact considering the words being spoken and the incredible emotion that surely must have been behind them. You have penned another great piece here!

a simple verse to express one of the simplest of truths.
John 3:16 is what it is all about.
Love...

Penny, the message is so simple and that's part of the beauty of this write. He has made it so easy for us to just reach out to Him and you've captured that meaning in this wonderful poetry. vj

Beautiful
Very true indeed and it is good news to the believer. I am glad for this contest and to read the others. -
This is one of my favorites as well. It is what helps keep me going when things get rough. I just got hit hard by someone in meesas contest on if Jesus came....I had to put her on ignore and block...she didn't like my comment and then wrote a filthy poem slamming me, right along with Jesus. I don't deserve to be included by Him...He is glorious and I am lowly.
Boy its hard sometimes Penny.
I am glad I read this. Thank you so much for entering the contest.
