Poems that send darts🎯to touch our hearts❤️
The clock keeps ticking, the moments pass, Like shadows sliding on panes of glass. You’ve waited long, you’ve felt the call A whisper deep, beyond it all.
Don’t delay, make your decision today, Tomorrow might steal the chance away. The door stands open, the light shines through, And Heaven waits with love for you.
The world will offer empty gain, But only Christ can break the chain. So take the step, don’t turn aside— Let grace and mercy be your guide.
For life begins when you kneel and pray Don’t delay, make your decision today.

Romans 12:5
So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
In the body of Christ, we are not meant to walk this journey alone. Every believer is a unique part of a greater whole, each with gifts, roles, and responsibilities. God, in His infinite wisdom, has designed us to need one another, to support, encourage, and uplift each other as we serve Him.
Though we come from different backgrounds and have different experiences, in Christ, we are united. We belong to one another, called to love, serve, and carry one another’s burdens. When one part of the body rejoices, we all rejoice. When one part suffers, we all feel the weight of that pain.
This interdependence is part of God’s perfect plan. He knows that through community, we grow stronger, reflect His love more clearly, and accomplish more for His kingdom than we ever could alone. By leaning into this truth, we acknowledge that our gifts are not for ourselves alone but for the building up of the entire body of Christ.
Today, remember that you are a vital part of God's family. Ask Him to show you how you can contribute to the growth and well-being of others in the body of Christ. Our Father knows best, and He has placed us together for a reason.
Prayer: Father, thank You for placing me within the body of Christ. Help me to see the ways I can serve, encourage, and support my brothers and sisters. Remind me that my gifts and talents are meant for the good of others, and may I always seek to glorify You in how I live in community. Amen.

Matthew 5:23-24
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
Our Heavenly Father cares deeply not only about our relationship with Him but also about how we relate to others. In this passage, Jesus teaches us that reconciliation with one another is so important that it takes precedence even over worship. God knows that unresolved conflict can hinder our prayers, our peace, and our ability to experience His presence fully.
When we harbor bitterness or leave conflicts unresolved, it creates a barrier in our hearts. Offering gifts and prayers at the altar is important, but God calls us first to be at peace with one another. By seeking reconciliation, we open the door to healing and restore the unity that God desires in our relationships.
This teaching reminds us that our love for God is deeply intertwined with our love for others. To worship God in spirit and truth, we must first do the work of reconciliation—whether it’s offering forgiveness or seeking it.
Today, ask God to show you any relationships in need of healing. He knows what’s best for you and wants you to experience the freedom and peace that come from restored relationships.
Prayer: Father, help me to take the steps necessary to reconcile with those I have wronged or those who have wronged me. Soften my heart and give me the courage to seek peace in my relationships. May my worship be pure and my heart free of burdens. Thank You for teaching me the importance of reconciliation and for Your guidance in every step I take. Amen.
The streets were lined with waving palms, Hosannas rose in joyful psalms. The King rode in on borrowed steed, To fill the world’s most urgent need.
On Monday’s path, He cleansed the place, Where hearts had strayed from holy grace. With righteous fire, He cast out wrong His truth like thunder, clear and strong.
By Tuesday’s sun, He taught once more, Of Heaven’s gate and mercy’s door. The crowds grew still, the shadows near, Yet still He spoke, though death drew near.
On Wednesday, silence cloaked the land, Betrayal stirred in greed’s dark hand. A kiss was planned, a coin was paid, The Son of Man by friend betrayed.
Then Thursday came, the upper room, A basin, bread, and coming gloom. He broke the loaf, He blessed the cup, And knelt to wash—then lifted up.
In midnight’s hush, in garden deep, While others fled or fell to sleep, He bore the weight, the crushing dread “Thy will, not mine,” is what He said.
Friday’s sky turned black with grief, The Lamb was slain, the thief found belief. The veil was torn, the earth did shake The curse of sin began to break.
On Saturday, the world stood still, The tomb was sealed upon the hill. Hope seemed lost, all dreams undone Yet silence waited for the Son.
Then Sunday’s dawn lit up the skies, The stone rolled back, the dead did rise! No grave could hold, no seal contain The Risen Lord who broke all chains.
So every step of Holy Week Speaks to the soul of love we seek. From palms to cross, from death to rise Redemption’s gift before our eyes.

Mat 21:9Â Â And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
The sun rose soft on Vatican stone, Where faithful gathered, hearts full-blown. Palm branches waved through morning light, A sacred sign, a hopeful sight.
Then came a hush—a breath held tight, As robes appeared in gleaming white. A figure known, with steps still slow, But eyes alight with Heaven’s glow.
Pope Francis came through trial and flame, From breathless dark, he rose again. With double storm within his chest, He leaned on God, found strength and rest.
No screen today, no distant call But soul standing tall before them all. A shepherd brave, a soul restored, He blessed the crowd and praised the Lord.
A Palm Sunday no one foresaw A glimpse of grace, a breath of awe. For in his smile, the faithful see God’s mercy meet with victory.

Isaiah 43:16-19
“This is what the LORD says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
There are times when we become so focused on the past that we miss what God is doing in the present. We may cling to past victories or failures, afraid to move forward or uncertain of what lies ahead. Yet, in Isaiah 43, God reminds us that He is always at work, creating new paths and opportunities, even in the wilderness of our lives.
Just as He parted the Red Sea and led His people to safety, God knows what is best for us. He asks us to trust Him, to look forward rather than backward, and to believe that He is making a way where there seems to be no way.
No matter how desolate or uncertain your situation feels, God is preparing streams in the wasteland, a fresh source of hope, peace, and provision. He’s asking us to let go of what’s behind and embrace the new things He’s doing.
Today, trust that our Father knows best. He sees the bigger picture, and He is leading us into His perfect plan. Let us move forward with faith, trusting that He will provide every step of the way.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for knowing what is best for me even when I cannot see the way ahead. Help me to let go of the past and trust in the new things You are doing in my life. Guide my steps and strengthen my faith, knowing that You are always with me, making a way in the wilderness. Amen.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:19 “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.”
As believers, we often face challenges that test our faith. We may feel lost or uncertain about our path in life, wondering if we're truly understood or if we belong. Yet, in moments like these, we must remind ourselves that we are no longer strangers, no longer foreigners in a distant land. We are members of God’s household—a family chosen and loved by Him.
When we accept Christ, we step into a family where our Father knows us intimately and perfectly. He sees the full picture of our lives, both the past and the future. Even when our circumstances seem confusing or hard to navigate, we can trust that our Father knows what is best for us. His wisdom surpasses our understanding, and His plans are always good.
Like a loving parent, God knows our strengths and weaknesses. He knows the trials we face and the growth we need. And just as a parent disciplines out of love and leads out of care, our Father guides us in ways that may not always make sense at the moment but are designed for our ultimate good.
No matter what you're going through today, rest in the assurance that you belong to God's household. You are His child, part of a heavenly family where you are known and loved. Trust that He knows best, and let His wisdom and care guide you through every season of life.
Prayer: Father, thank You for welcoming me into Your family. Help me to trust in Your wisdom, especially when I do not understand the way forward. I believe that You know what’s best for me and that Your love will guide me through all things. Amen.
It’s not the ash upon the brow, Nor hunger from the fasting now. It’s deeper still—this sacred way, A turning heart that dares to pray.
It’s not just giving something up, Like sweets or habits or coffee cup But laying down what dims the soul, To let the Spirit make it whole.
It’s walking with the Christ who gave, Who loved, who served, who came to save. It’s finding Him in quiet grace, In stranger’s eyes, in sacred space.
It’s seeking justice, giving bread, Forgiving wounds long left unsaid. It’s lifting hands, it’s bending knee, It’s living love that sets us free.
This road leads through the desert bare, But ends in light beyond compare. For Lent is not where stories cease It blooms into eternal peace.
So journey on with heart made new, The cross in sight, but heaven too. For in the giving, we are found In loss, in love, on holy ground.

Scripture: Proverbs 15:16 "Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil."
In a world that constantly pushes us to strive for more—more money, more success, more possessions—this verse from Proverbs reminds us of a profound truth: peace with God is far more valuable than anything material wealth can offer. When we live with reverence and trust in the Lord, even if we have little by worldly standards, we possess something far greater—true contentment and peace of heart.
Our Father knows best what we need, and He understands the dangers of chasing after wealth at the expense of our relationship with Him. Great wealth, when gained without the foundation of godly wisdom and fear of the Lord, can bring anxiety, greed, and endless turmoil. But living with trust in God's provision and placing Him first brings peace that surpasses all understanding.
Today, consider where your focus lies. Are you striving for earthly success, or are you seeking to live in alignment with God's will, trusting that He will meet your needs? Remember, it is far better to have little with God’s peace than to have much with the chaos of an unsettled soul.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me of what truly matters in life. Help me to trust in Your provision and not chase after things that bring turmoil. May I live with a heart that reveres You, knowing that peace with You is more valuable than any wealth this world could offer. Amen.
Where cracks run deep and edges fray, Where broken dreams are tossed away, There rises soft a sacred sound— An abundance of beauty found.
Not in polished, gleaming gold, But in the stories scars have told, Grace arrives on whispered wings, To tend the soul and mend all things.
It doesn’t shun the bruised and worn, Nor mock the heart that’s battle-torn. It kneels beside the pain we hide, And holds us close with healing pride.
For every flaw, a ligght breaks through, A tender hue in every hue. Where others see what’s lost or wrong, God weaves a melody, a song.
So let the blemish boldly be— A testament to mercy free. Where there is imperfection’s cry, There beauty rides—sirens in sky.
