A Poem of Thanks

 You Put a Smile on My Face, Thank you

Was a feeling that was gave in grace

As you touched my heart with your awesome love

You gave me joy with a smile on my face

You lifted me high above this place

Made me want to fly like a dove

Was a feeling that was gave in grace

As I greatly felt your warm embrace

That came down from the great above

You gave me joy with a smile on my face

Was uncontrollable that made me drunk

As the laughter enveloped me non-stop

Still wobbly after the lift shrunk

Then back to reality my spirit did drop

As the after effect left me aglow

Your touch to me no human can top

This was from you my Lord, I know

Was a feeling that was gave in grace

I thank you Lord as your love does show

You gave me joy with a smile on my face

Thoughts: If you have ever been touched by God then you would know His touch well. He does touch us in ways a human never can. And His touch exceeds everything and leaves you knowing He cares and loves you. I greatly thank Him for this as it is given in grace. What is so awesome is He seems to give it to you when you need it most. His touch leaves a smile on you face!

Another Poem for Thought

 Comes at a Cost

When it seems to you something was lost

This thing you held onto that made you, you

Spiritual maturity comes at a cost

In faith you gave it not to be tossed

Precious to you as others had no clue

When it seems to you something was lost

Expectancy to exclusivity crossed

To this where one's being greatly grew

Spiritual maturity comes at a cost

No promises made to your being was made

Thou hard when that part of you did exist

Harder to move past when to this it fade

Your spirit then only wants it missed

Into prayer your soul does beckon

Where this part of you the Lord has kissed

Making you no less to Him or second

When it seems to you something was lost

Moving on to say to self I reckon

As spiritual maturity comes at a cost

Thoughts: Sometimes we hold onto a part of us that prevents us from spiritually growing. As we have engrained into our own thoughts that part of us is what makes us righteous in God's eyes and acceptable to others. When that part of us may just need to be trimmed off in order to mature in becoming the Christian He wants us to be. We must not think ourselves so righteous that we place ourselves on a thrown; expecting to be treated as a kings or queens by others in holding onto a part of us that we may only see as precious. Although it seems like loosing a precious piece of yourself, the reward in spiritual growth may well exceed this cost because sometimes spiritual maturity comes at a cost.  

A Poem of Thought

 Real Too Intense for Some

When giving to where one's real does come

For some to this hard to believe is true

Discovery of real too intense for some

To many a game in play to welcome

The few of real that never knew

When giving to where one's real does come

Excitement fuels their game of where they're from

That fizzles when to real it grew

Discovery of real too intense for some

Seen as boring when the game's not played

In sticking to one's faith to this one's way

When to real the foundation was laid

Standing firm to one's realness hard today

Because some see this too intense to deal

In silence one becomes known to their way

Their hearts are closed to that to feel

When giving to where one's real does come

One then does relax in God for zeal

Discovery of real too intense for some

Thoughts: Many people play games these days in portraying un-realness because being real seems too intense for them. Many of these people get bored with real as they themselves would rather play than be real to the other. Of course real is intense because it's not fake nor a game in play. Am believing it takes a real man or women to recognize and appreciate one that is real. And takes one that is real in dealing with the intensity of real. In being real if you find yourself being denied or cast aside, don't sweat it, just continue to be real to yourself and in God's eyes. Sooner or later one will come along that appreciates the intensity of your realness because in a world of fake or pretend real can be too intense for some. 

A Poem for Thought

 Real Dreams Come True

People give false dreams of no clue

Because the fantasy seems so real 

Where as God gives real dreams that come true

A fantasy given one that grew

For the one its there for a time to feel

As people give false dreams of no clue

Theirs's be a story of one they knew

Captured dreams made as a real deal

Where as God gives real dreams that come true

For what is shown seems an answered pray

Hard to believe as hope becomes its fate

Prayer continues for answers one day

Belief grows faith which it create

The wait gives way to a dream of vision

Where one draws near to that does await

Rather given in be one's decision

As people give false dreams of no clue

But with Him awaits one's fate envision

As God gives real dreams that do come true

Thoughts: Simple: It can be hard to know if one is feeding you a false hope and dream when to one's own dreams and hopes that have been prayed for and long waited seems to be radiating through what is being presented to you through the situation with this person. One thing I have learned is rather it be a false dream or the real deal being presented in the situation its best to stick to your faith in the Lord to see you through and know if the dream being presented is from God it will come true. To keep your faith in Him that He will give light to its validity as God gives real dreams that do come true. 

A Poem for Thought

 Three Years to Embody True Love

Though instant is His love from above

For us humans here it may take longer

Jesus here three years to embody true love

Quickly it fades; fly's away as a dove

Given as fake to the purpose of conjure

Though instant is His love from above

Attention given out of self love

In hope of instant thought to stronger

Jesus here three years to embody true love

Although hard in acquiring it takes time

When developing that so sacred

When given this to thought in making prime

In today's world the wait seems dated

As it moves ever so lightening fast

Then to this fake love becomes fated

Time it takes to develop in contrast

Though instant is His love from above

Fake love to Hs love never will outlast

Jesus here three years to embody true love

Thoughts: This world moves so fast that people fall in and out of love at the drop of a hat and that's not true love. Although it does take time in acquiring true love is made to outlast this world. So many people think or act on giving attention as that of being true love; especially on Social Media. Sorry to burst people's bubble, but giving and receiving attention does not make true love. Sure it enhances people's relationship, but attention alone is not real love. So many lonely people use the Social Media for that purpose out of loneliness and so many are deceived when this happens. Sure and most definitely God's love is instant. He is a supernatural being where this is possible; we are not. And besides right now we live in this world not our final destination in the supernatural place He has for us. Thus human love being faulty takes time in this world where Jesus took three years here to embody true love. 

A Poem for Thought

  True Friendship

In a tech savvy world promise is endless

But its time that makes the difference

When it comes to making a true friendship

An instance look becomes the connection

Attraction being that of reverence

In a tech savvy world promise is endless

Then words flow that makes it precious

As the connection becomes one's preference

When it comes to making a true friendship

However, still not sure as time does slow

And excitement enters the picture

Where true friendship becomes a lasting flow

Hope then sets in place as its structure

For in this connection friendship's potential

Where beyond attraction becomes richer

Time has a place that's deferential 

In a tech savvy world promise is endless

Where patience becomes essential

When it comes to making a true friendship

      ©Doris Elaine

Thoughts: In a world of instant it can become hard in making a true friendship as true friendship can sometimes take time. These days it seems we have to do a great deal of reading between the lines when connecting on Social Media in making a true friend. Talking with others is great, but its only words and words any one can say and can say anything; that's where reading between the lines becomes necessary in making a true friendship. Most times, I guess, one should just be true to yourself and over time pray the other person is being true in making a true friendship. 

A Poem for Thought

 Opposites Attract

Makes reasonable why one makes contact

For the interaction balances for each

As in this world opposites attract

The relationship is not lacked

As sometimes it can become a reach

Makes reasonable why one makes contact

Where one is lacking the other intact

Making the relationship as peach

As in this world opposites attract

One shy sometimes draws to one outgoing

Keeping the social spirit in balance

Allowing both room in growing

For instance: sin of the Lord is absence

Yet to sinners His attraction be

An attraction that gives life a rebalance

Seems the Lord to this He did foresee

Makes reasonable why one makes contact

For our sinful souls with Him are set free

As in this world opposites attract

      ©Doris Elaine

Thoughts: Makes since why opposites attract in this world as seems that to be from the beginning. As the Lord's attraction to sinners is clear and that be His purpose; among many purposes. Perhaps one's purpose is to help the next being with where that being is lacking you are experienced; to help each other. Although many don't see it that way. Just how boring and un-useful would this world be if we where all alike. As some try to have relationships where the two are exactly alike or share exact interest and many times these relationships end up not working. Don't take me wrong, its good to have some of the same interest, really depending; but how much better in helping each other through this life if the relationship includes some opposite attraction. As from the beginning, with the Lord, in this world opposites attract.
