About this ebook
In this book, Im like an artist demonstrating a measure of the written, creative, and recreative power of God, using words like patterns, shapes, colors, and designs of all kinds interwoven, overlapping, mixing them together into creative beauty.
May you enjoy reading these inspirational and biblical messages in poetic form, as much as Ive enjoyed writing them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
INTRODUCTION
I am a poet gifted by God to serve others and use words in ways that you have never heard. Sometimes they rhyme at the drop of a dime and sometimes they don’t. However, one thing they all have in common is enthusiasm, positive motivation, hope, healing, divine inspiration, divine impartation, enlightenment, creativity, strength, love, edification, comfort, correction, support, and answers to specific problems.
These words are intended to provide the reader with excellent, effective, examples of written communication in the highest sense of the word of God, capturing their undivided attention, and giving them practical everyday biblical principles to apply to their life.
These words will teach people how to win in no win situations and lead them in the right direction for just and worthy causes so they can come out on top and rise above their specific situation or circumstance.
These inspirational words will help people to reach their full potential, because it is definitely essential to bring back to life that which was dead or unfruitful, as well as encourage others on how to endure, with strength, the many tedious journeys they will experience over the course of their lives.
POEMS OF INSPIRATION
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
II Timothy 3:16-17
