 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

You followed what you have been taught,

With faith aimed at your way of life;

For the love in what you have sought,

Patience through endurance of strife.

 

As well as the persecutions,

That happen with the suffering;

Able to find the solutions,

While Christ becomes your buffering.

 

The persecutions I endured,

Because the Lord has rescued me;

Of the temptations that have lured,

He opened my eyes as to see.

 

All who want to live godly lives,

Will be persecuted for Christ;

Because Satan ego survives,

When the desires are enticed.

 

Charlatans and evil people,

Will be going from bad to worse;

For nonbelief in the Gospel,

Shrouded in a darkened curse.

 

Imposters just love to deceive,

Deceiving and being deceived;

Because of evil they perceive,

As their goodness that they believed.

 

You must continue in the things,

As taught and confident about;

Because of the blessings it brings,

And erases all of your doubt.

 

You know of those who had taught you,

Learning what you firmly believe;

For you know what is taught is true,

That is helping you to achieve.

 

You have known how from infancy,

Since childhood of the Scriptures;

That insight has a tendency,

As knowledge and wisdom matures.

 

That is wisdom for salvation,

Having your faith in Jesus Christ;

Righteousness for a foundation,

For pleasures being sacrificed.

 

The one dedicated to God,

May be capable and complete;

To praise as you honor and laud,

Giving evilness a defeat.
