Poems & Quotes To Help Strengthen Your Faith

Engraved upon His hands remain the  SCARS of cruel nails, Foretold imprints of suffering that proclaim salvation’s tale. The  SCARRED hands of Jesus speak when human language fails— Of His unfailing love, through which your hope forever prevails. SCARRED beyond recognition, as He breathed His final breath, A soldier’s spear pierced His side, confirming His death. Then blood and water flowed from His spear-torn side,  Proclaiming salvation's victory, which forever shall abide. When triggers of past SCARS hit you hard, Listen for the voice of Jesus Christ: “For you, I was marred.” Though your  SCARS bear memories of agonizing pain, Jesus reminds you, "Y our suffering is never in vain." The  SCARS of your past or present need not be concealed, For by Jesus' wounds, you will be healed! The Savior knows your every SCAR of painful affliction; His healing love makes you new forever through His resurrection! "But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was...

"There is only one place in the world where the worst of you can come out, and you would still be loved instead of condemned. That place is the throne of God's grace." - Hector Perez

As a new day begins with the dawning of morning light, My mind awakens without fear or flight. Thoughts transformed, like the dawn's first hue, The mind of Christ makes my thinking brand new. Bouts of depression and self-talk of failing, Disappear with Christ's way of thinking that's unfailing. With the mind of Christ, my vision is  extremely  clear, I can see a great future that I will embrace without fear. My old way of thinking is gone, I'm no longer blind, For in Christ, I've been given a renewed mind. No longer deceived by the whispers of the evil one who rules the night, For the mind of Christ shatters all darkness and fills me with glorious light.

The peace of Christ rules my heart, An inner serenity that the storms of life can never part. In times of trouble or darkest nights, Christ’s abiding peace pervades like heavenly light. When afflictions come, and fears abound, The peace of Christ keeps me on solid ground. It's the peace of Christ that frees my heart from all distress, And brings my soul enduring rest. The peace of Christ is a gift of love from His heart of grace, My temporal sufferings subside as I’m held together by His embrace. I'll let the peace of Christ rule my heart, For it's the secret source of tranquility in a world that's falling apart. Source: Colossians 3:15 - "L et the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

Have you ever felt unloved by God or others because of your imperfections or mistakes? What if I were to tell you that there is a love where the worst of you can come out, and you would be loved more, not less?  Please take 2 minutes to read this poem I wrote about “Christ’s Inseparable Love.” Christ's inseparable love upon the cross was perfectly expressed, For imperfect people like me, who felt unloved in a pit of dire distress. On a cross of agony, His inseparable love poured out like a fountain, To unworthy transgressors who crucified the Savior on Calvary's mountain. Christ's inseparable love is unlike any other, A greater love than that of a mother’s. His love is limitless, and strong, Even when the devil tells me I'm unworthy for doing wrong. Now I know, that nothing can ever separate me from Christ's everlasting love, Which God dispenses from heaven above. His inseparable love casts out all my fears to remind me. That He will never leave me and is always nea...

In your journey of faith  that you tread each day, Model the faith of Abraham who heeded Adonai's  way. Trust in the LORD without doubt or disbelief, For the Most High God is your Sovereign Chief. Walk by faith, not by sight, to see the invisible, For it's impossible to please God if you rely on what's visible. Be bold and courageous to imitate the faith of David,  Who was undaunted by Goliath's noisy threats that faded.  Take your sling and fling God's stone of mighty power , Which annihilates every spear the devil fires to devour. Walk by faith, not by sight, to see the invisible, For it's impossible to please God if you rely on what's visible. Though storms may rage and clouds may loom, Hold to faith which vanishes all gloom. The temporary sufferings that in life abound, Do not compare with   your coming glorious crown. Walk by faith, not by sight, to see the invisible, For it's impossible to please God if you rely on what's visible. So walk by fa...

Jesus, You are my hope and Savior true, I turn to You when I'm feeling blue. You infuse me with strength when I feel weak, And fill me with assurance when my world looks bleak. Jesus, You are my hope and anchor sure, In You alone, my soul feels safe and secure. No matter what tribulations this world may bring, I am never hopeless, my Sovereign ruling King! Jesus, You are my hope and guiding light, In Your presence, You make all things bright. Jesus, my hope of glory, I trust in You today, And promise to follow You, come what may. The source of this poem is found in Colossians 1:27&28 "The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY."

“A powerful leader is one who knows The Way (Jesus), follows The Way (Jesus), and points others to The Way (Jesus).” - Hector Perez

Upon my chest, Christ's breastplate will gleam, An armor for righteousness, the warrior's confident theme, Forged in love and goodness that sparkles with purity of light, Conquering evil forces by advancing what is right. The breastplate of righteousness shining with God's grace, Reflecting virtues of hope to those who are abased, Rejecting corruption, and hating wicked schemes, We stand unyielding, ambassadors of God's righteous beams. I will stand firm to don this breastplate strong, In righteousness, is where Jesus helps me belong, To face the evil forces of darkness, without any fear, Full of Christ's righteous virtues glimmering crystal clear. Stand firm then, with  the breastplate of righteousness  in place. Ephesians 6:14b

In a world of lies with shadows covering the deep, Where great pretenders screech and hidden secrets creep, A belt of truth shines with radiant grace, Strengthening my heart and mind with a sacred embrace. The Belt of Truth unveils the hidden lies, Shattering hypocrisy and exposing disguise, Cutting through deceit like a sharpened sword, Opening the path that leads heavenward. Woven with threads of integrity so pure, It binds the soul with steadfast so sure. The Belt of Truth transmits eternal insurance, By its clutch, I'm filled with unwavering assurance.

You are a CHILD OF LIGHT that shines so bright, Helping save the lost from their darkest night. Your light's tiniest Flickr or littlest gleam, Will reignite the smoldering wick of golden dreams.

So cast your glimmers of light to people who are bound, To help free them from the father of lies who keeps them chained down. Let your light shine to the farthest shore, So people see your good works and glorify Your heavenly Father forevermore.
