IN GODS HANDS is a book of poetry that is designed to put you in a place where you can come into the presence of GOD. The poetry does not stand-alone. Poems in Chapter I are enhanced by a Bible verse that supports the essence of the poetry it accompanies. The poetry in Chapter II has a short narrative that prefaces each poem, detailing its origination. I pray that you enjoy the poetry inside the covers of IN GODS HANDS, and that you find a Blessing in them. == == == Below is a sample of what you will find inside the covers of IN GODs HANDS GOD LIVES Have you ever wondered If GOD is anywhere Just look into the mirror And you will see him there. GOD sits inside our hearts And rests within our souls He wells up in our laughter And flows when tears unfold. When we offer prayer to him He smiles down heavenly So if you ever wondered GOD lives in you and me. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. == == == MY SPIRITUAL GIFT A Gift of Love for us to share To minister to those in need, with care To understand the reason why A gift was given to me and I Hope and pray that I can do What God entrusted me to Share my Gift so others can see What my God Really means to me. 1 Corinthians 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of GOD, one after this manner, and another after that. == == == THE VISION God provide to me a vision for your people Make me strong and obedient to your will Adorn the manifestation of your vision To be viewed from valleys and hills And have your people respond to the vision As you would have them to do And we will be steadfast in your vision And your people will be truer to you.
