HEALING THROUGH HIS SCARS

Image
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...

GOD'S AMAZING GRACE

"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

A NEW MIND

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 by Hector Perez

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."

CHRIST'S INSEPARABLE LOVE

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...

WALK BY FAITH by Hector Perez

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...

HOPE by Hector Perez

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 LEADER LIKE JESUS

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

A HEART OF GRATITUDE by Hector Perez

THE CELEBRATION OF THANKSGIVING COMES AND GOES, WATCHING FOOTBALL AND EATING TURKEY WHICH CAUSES ME TO DOZE. BUT THIS YEAR, I WILL CHOOSE TO EMBRACE A DIFFERENT ART, SINGING PRAISES TO GOD FOR HIS NUMBERLESS BLESSINGS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART.

NO MATTER IF I HAVE LITTLE OR SUFFER LOSS THROUGH CALAMITY, I WILL THANK THE LORD FOR THE TREASURE OF FAMILY. I'LL SEE EVERY SETBACK I FACE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW, IN LOVE, MERCY, AND FAITH, SO GRATITUDE FOREVER FLOWS. I'LL THANK FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO LEND ME A HELPING HAND, FOR THEIR LOVE AND COMPASSION THAT HAVE HELP ME STAND. STARTING TODAY, I’LL ADOPT A HEART OF GRATITUDE, FOR IT'S THE SECRET FORMULA TO MY  LIFE’S ALTITUDE.

GOD IS WORKING IN YOU by Hector Perez

God is working in you, His prized possession, Planting seeds of acceptance to rescue you from depression. He works behind the scenes day and night, Creating you into a vessel by His power and might. God is working in you when gripped by fear, Reminding you through every trial or tear that He is near. He forms your heart and shapes your soul, With His everlasting love, He works to make you whole. God is working in you from this day and forevermore, So embrace this truth, and let it fill your core. With His hands of compassion, He shapes and molds, A Masterpiece that's glorious and beautiful to behold. This poem is derived from Philippians 2:12 ERV

PEOPLE NEED ME by Hector Perez

People need me as a Good Samaritan in times of despair, To transmit Christ's love through compassionate care. I'll be a source of comfort who wipes away their tears, Manifesting God's perfect love that drives away all fear. People need me  to be a voice of truth among a wayward crowd, To destroy the deceitful lies which the devil uses as a dark shroud. I'll share good news of hope to champion songs of jubilation, Sparking unwavering faith that revives divine inspiration. People need me   like a bridge that connects a great divide, To help the oppressed cross over to Christ's heavenly side. I'll look for ways to lend a helping hand, Lifting despondent souls whom the devil tells, "You are banned!"  People need me  as a friend who helps a weary soul to persevere  ahead, By pointing them to Christ, who crushed the serpent's head. "In Christ, you are unshakable and have a mind that's truly sound, SO FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS, WHO IS YOUR ROCK AND ...

GOD'S LOVE - Quote by Hector Perez

How can you detect God's love?  God's love has a  heart of compassion  that seeks to save the lost.  God's  love has  outstretched hands that uplift the downcast .  God's  love has  feet that roam the earth to spread good news  to the poor.  God's  love has  eyes that see the unseen pain of the soul .  God's  love has  ears that hear the cry of the destitute who need help .  God's  love is Christ , who sacrificed His life on the cross and revealed to the world that  "GOD IS LOVE.'"  

GOD'S GLORIOUS GRACE by Hector Perez

In God's glorious grace, you'll feel a benevolent embrace, A perfect love that frees you from the bondage of sin, fear, and disgrace. God's  glorious  grace flows like a river far and wide, Reaching the worst of sinners entrapped in Satan's dreadful tide. In God's  glorious  grace, your heavy burdens are lifted, Because His undeserved mercy through Christ  Jesus  is gifted. God's  glorious  grace is boundless, it knows no end, Discovered in Jesus, your Messiah, Savior, and Faithful Friend.

God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. So we praise God for ...

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT by Hector Perez

Take up the sword of the Spirit, heaven's weapon of might, God's Word of truth, empowers you to fight the good fight, Remember that the gates of hell shall not prevail, So hold on to the sword of the Spirit that will never fail. Take up the sword of the Spirit, blazing with hope, Silencing the enemy's fallacies to help you cope, Gleaming with God's love, and grace divine, Piercing the darkness so your faith can shine. Take up the sword of the Spirit, crafted with divine care, A sacred force so mighty and rare, Use it wisely to slay acts of injustice, Courageously standing for Christ and His righteous justice. Stand firm, and take the sword of the Spirit , which is the Word of God. Ephesians 6:14a,17b

FEET FITTED & READY WITH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE

Feet fitted and ready with the gospel of peace, Laced with Jesus' love which causes anxiety to cease. Celestial peace brings calm to lives in turmoil, Ruling hearts that are cultivated like good soil. Feet fitted and ready with the gospel of peace, Breaking down hostilities so unity is unleashed. Jesus' peace, the healing balm for the troubled soul, Surpassing understanding by making souls perfectly whole. Feet fitted and ready with the gospel of peace, Trumpeting good news so harmony is increased. "Trust in the Prince of Peace who paid your debt on the cross, To experience miraculous grace and escape eternal loss." Stand firm then, with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace . Ephesians 6:14a,15 NIV

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS by 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

BELT OF TRUTH by Hector Perez

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.

CHILD OF LIGHT by Hector Perez

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. With the light of life, you are prepared and equipped, To beam Christ's splendor on hearts that are pricked. 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.

BE LIKE JESUS by Hector Perez

Be like Jesus, modeling His life in your home as a beacon of light, Guiding your family through the shadows of the darkest night. Be like Jesus, displaying His love, a sweet aroma that fills every room, Dispelling despair and expunging all gloom. Be like Jesus, conveying words of kindness, Bringing hope to wounded souls who sit in darkness. Be like Jesus, radiating beams of compassionate light,  Helping blinded souls discover new celestial sight. Be like Jesus, a clay vessel of grace and peace,  Pointing the unruly to Him who causes all divisions to cease. Be like Jesus, loving others without condition,  Embracing the hurting who need salvation from the Great Physician.  Be like Jesus, caring for the widow or oppressed, Investing quality time to ensure all are truly blessed. Be like Jesus, echoing His teachings divine, Inspiring faith in Him who transforms water into wine.   Then we will no longer be like babies. We will not be people who are always changing li...
