Born Again

Adam and Eve lived in a garden
It was the Garden of God's presence
Eden - Delight!
You could say, 'They lived in God'
Winsome and Bright.

But they turned aside
Their eye moved away from God
To the tree that could make one wise
And to each other
They had taken their eye off the True Prize.

Why?
Why be born again?
Born anew
Water, and of Spirit
Into the One Who is called Faithful and True.

God's answer:
New life begins, with Jesus
New life begins, in Him
We're all born into a perishing life
But God didn't leave us out on that fractured limb. 

Bible verses: 
John 3:1-8, 10:10, 14:6
1 Corinthians 15:20-22
1 John 5:11
Revelation 19:11

Hope - Loud and Clear

I invite you to read my poem:

The waves CRASH all around
With force that pound and pound
Knock after knock
I'm tired, and my heart is raw
I start entertaining the thoughts that I can't take anymore.

But there is hope inside of me
And I will NOT let it be silent
No
Give it a megaphone!
Cause I am not alone.



2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJV Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort
