The essence of God is within,
looking to spring forth in your life.
You have been greatly blessed,
but may be unable to recognize it.
Learn to die to selfish desire
and enable His Spirit to be activated.
All that God requests is your adoration.
Giving praise and singing hymns to Yaweh
means He has captured your heart -
Therefore, your love for Him is... Genuine.
From my book "Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory"

Congrats
Congrats on your HM as well. Yes the Lord is the one who strengthens all of us. I love the Lord with all I have for without Him nothing I do or have would be possible. It is He who keeps me and has kept me I would be dead if it weren't for Him and His love. Thanks for a wonderul write!! -
this is spiritually sound. written from a very sincere tone, it is filled with love and good advice. this like a blessing that flows from a poetic aspect. reading this was very inspiring.

As far as Christian poetry goes, I'd say this is pretty good. I can see that you follow a strong faith, which I can appriciate. Your poem was good, but I think that more imagery could be added. Other than that, nice work.

great awsome
very good love it -
This is a great christian poem that really tells the reader exactly what they need to give to their god. I'm not even religious, but I think this is a fine poem with a good meter and good choice of words. Please keep up the great work and keep posting your stuff on this site, I'd love to read more from you in the future! You have a voice and a talent that should not be ignored. If you cultivate it, you'll go far with your creative endeavors. Bravo on this piece. Great job

good
I like your use of succint verse...I think it's beautiful that God wants us to employ our Free Will, and choose to Love Him...the meaning of the word "poem", from the Greek of antiquity, is "creation"...we are all His poems... -
This is pretty, and conveys a powerful message. Obviously, it is very heartfelt. My only problem with it as a poem is that it is not that original. It is basically a bunch of thoughts strung together, and everything it says has been said before. I'm sorry for the harsh critique. It's just my opinion, and not worth all that much. But it is still a heartfelt write, and I'm sure it will appeal to religious people.

I have just lost my
assessment on this poem. I'll try to redo in the same way. I enoyed this write for what it conveys. One cannot adore, especially in song, if this does not come from the heart. But, more so, a cleansed and spirit-tuned heart. You have conveyed this, but also the fact that we will never be able to adore from within ourselves, but through Him that assures this. Thank you for the beautiful read. Frans

I really enjoyed the message contained in this write. You words ring so true. I liked the line about God only requests your adoration. to many people think if you are religious you have to be perfect, but God knows none of us are perfect. Nice write. Thanks for entering and good luck

There are many shells to be removed from our eyes, many walls to be broken down surrounding our hearts in order for us to see a glimpse of the beauty of GOD's First Creation, the realm beyond words and thought where we belong. All that we experience here and now is some kind of preparation to return to where we were once thought into existence. It shows the infinite mercy and Love of our Creator that these miracles HE does for us all the time. If we only see a fragment of what HE does we begin writing tributes like you wrote on this page, standing in awe of HIS greatness. Thank you for creating and sharing. Take care,
Chris

You have been greatly blessed,
but may be unable to recognize it.
I can’t help but wonder what circumstances we considered curses will prove to be blessings. Your poem is to the point and accurate. Good work. Congratulations on the Honorable Trophy.

This is a nice religous poem. Congrats on the honorable mention. It was short and sweet but enjoyable as well.

This is amazing
I agree with the previous posters, but I'd also like to say that this is one of my fav. poems on here so far. I absolutely love it and think you've done an excellent job with this piece. The rhyming scheme, the picture that the words paint. The whole nine yards. This is really good. Keep up the excellent work. Great job again.

You show your love for God in your words and it truly touches the reader. This was a beautiful written piece.
Be well..

Beautiful.
You write such beautiful pieces on your belief in God. There is always such truth in the words that you write. Love for God should always be uppermost in all of our hearts. We have all been blessed in so many ways but so many do not recognize his blessings. Your are so right that all we have to do is recognize him, believe in him and love him. He will do the rest. We are all made in his immage and he is within us if we would only be still long enough to recognize his presense in ourselves. This is very well written.

Amazingly put.

This Is So True.......
God does only want our love and adoration. We glorify him through our praise of his son Jesus who gave his life for the remission of sin. Your words painted a beautiful imagery full of love for our God. It was an amazing piece of spiritual work here. I thank you for sharing this with me and I am sure you blessed the very heart of God with this as well!!!~~Toni~~

Beautiful! Great poem reminding us to sing with joy and to not forget how blessed we are. We take our eyes off of Him, yet He is alway watching us. Amen
