Exhort

I urge you, ponder deeply every word,
Then ask of God if these things hold their light;
For wisdom comes from seeking truth aright,
And thus, His voice within you shall be heard.

I urge you, trust in gifts that God bestows,
Deny them not, nor let His power fall;
In Him alone we’re anchored through it all,
For by His grace alone our courage grows.

Remember, every good descends from grace,
Through Christ, who lights the way with steady hand;
In Him, all truth and love forever stand—
His peace endures and fills the empty space.

Keep in your heart each plea I’ve humbly told;
Come unto Christ with courage strong and bold.

The Way of Truth

I strongly encourage you
to read these words and ponder them in your heart.
then ask God if true for that will make you smart.

I strongly encourage you
to never deny the power of God nor his gift.
Make sure you use his gift to keep adrift.

I strongly encourage you
to remember that all good comes in and through,
same as it has and will be Christ, it's true.

I strongly encourage you
to remember all these things I have told,
for you to come unto Christ is very bold.

Faith, Hope, and Love Endure

Faith, Hope, and Love Endure

To choose the good, discern from dark and light, For all that’s pure and bright comes from the Lord. Through faith in Christ, the soul is thus restored, And hope’s sweet glow will guide us through the night. Yet charity must reign, a flame so bright, The purest gift, in heaven’s love outpoured. Without its bond, our hearts are bare, ignored, But with its strength, we rise in holy might. The Lord redeems the pure; no child must weep,

For Christ’s embrace defends them from the grave.

And faith in Him has power strong to save.

No law can bind where mercy’s roots run deep.

Though sin may rage, let faith and love remain, For Christ shall heal and cleanse the world’s great pain.

Worth of Devotion

 The Worth of Devotion

There's much desired of worth within our soul,
In covenants that guide, uplift, inspire;
For holy promises, we must aspire—
These blessings bind and make the spirit whole.

The Holy Ghost empowers, makes us bold,
In sacred acts ordained, our hearts conspire
To bear Christ’s name, ascending ever higher;
A strength that, by His hand, we firmly hold.

Remember Him in prayer, your heart made low,
With spirit broken, contrite in your stay,
And every whispered thought you give away—
In such devotion, truest love will grow.

Embraced in arms that calm, where all things fit,
His love transforms—yes, truly, it’s worth it.

It's Worth It 

There's more  I feel will be desired
of worth to all and be inspired.
Covenants are too essential
and ordinances are special.

Ordained by power of the ghost.
Yes the Holy Ghost is the most.
You need it to take upon you,
The name of Christ, it's nothing new.

Remember Him always while praying.
With a broken heart your paying,
And contrite spirit your staying.
In his arms you'll be amazing.

Anchor to the Light

Anchor to the Light

To whom do you anchor your soul so tight?

With steadfast faith in Christ, the firmest hold,

Each humble work a witness, bright and bold,

That all good deeds may glorify His light.

Our weakness shown, a grace to keep us low,

For strength will bloom where meekness first was sown;

Through Christ’s own power, no battle faced alone,

Faith moves our hearts to paths where courage grows.

In charity, the purest love we find,

To serve and lift our neighbor, friend, or foe—

A gift from God to seek, to live, to show,

A guiding light through actions intertwined.

So anchor deep, let love and hope abound,

For faith through Christ can raise from low to sound.

To whom do you anchor your soul?

Sure and steadfast to Christ as a whole.

Abounding in good works isn't odd.

You'll be led to glorify God.

Our weakness will be shown to us

That we humble us with no fuss.

For with Faith in Christ, we can do

the great things and become strong too.
