Christian Poetry: Look Up

Look up, even though your heart is broken.
 
Look up, even though you are oh so discouraged.
 
Look up, even though it seems impossible.
 
Look up, even though you can't take it anymore.
 
Look up, even though nothing has ever worked out for you.
 
Look up, even though you don't think that God loves you.
 
Look up, because you are God's by your own choice.
 
Look up, believe and confess that these issues will work out for your good, because the word, ordained by your loving, Heavenly Father, said they would. 
 
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
 

 

Christian Products: Faith & Trust Printable Quote Art

FAITH

Faith is one of the cornerstones of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)

Faith Christian Scripture Artwork by Christian Words Shop

I chose four of my favorite scriptures on believing to design this printable artwork. Mark 9:23, Matthew 21:21-22 and Matthew 17:20. When I quote the scriptures, I am always amazed in my spirit at the possibilities that they open up to me. 

These are scriptures that do not put a limit on what we can do. These scriptures tell us that there is a level of faith that we can acquire where we can do what we never thought we could do. Jesus even told his Disciples, and through them tells us, that we can even do more than he did. How amazing is that! Do you believe? Do you want to believe? FAITH is here for you today, right now! Choose it and keep choosing it, everyday.

Faith Printable Artwork

TRUST

Trust is similar to faith. It's a choice that has to be made, often in the lack of any proof that we could understand.

Trust Christian Scripture Printable by Christian Words Shop

I have paraphrased this rich scripture, Psalm 52:8, in everyday language that is easier for us to grasp and apply to our daily lives.

There are eight powerful confirmations in this printable, scripture artwork, including:

I am purified by the blood of Jesus.

I am always flourishing, growing and strong.

My confidence in God never withers or dies.

Christian Poem By Helen Mallicoat

A friend shared this poem with me to help me through difficult times in my life. It is so beautiful and touching that I read it often. It soothes my soul and spirit. It's as if God is telling me, Don't look backwards. Don't look forwards. Live in today. Be at peace. I am always here, today.

I AM

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

“My name is I Am.” He paused.
I waited. He continued,
When you live in the past
With its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard. I am not there,
My name is not I WAS”.

When you live in the future
With its problems and fears,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment,
It is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.

May you be comforted by Helen's words that God is always present with you.


Helen Mallicoat was born to Dora and Walter White on Sept. 4, 1913 in a log cabin on a farm near Arenzville, Ill. She passed away at 91 years old on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Helen was an avid writer and many of her writings have been compiled into books. Hallmark published Listen for the Lord in 1980. The most widely read of all her writings is the poem I Am, which was published in 1982 on a poster by Argus Communications. Almost weekly she heard of it being meaningful to someone.

The full color, illustrated stories are delivered as 2 x A4 letters that are written by a little mouse named Matthew. He hops through the Bible meeting the people we know and love.

Cindy illustrates her stories in beautiful, full-color artwork that easily gets the attention of children and adults alike.

Her stories have intriguing titles that spark interest in learning. She even offers a free download so that you can learn more about Matthew Mouse and see how the letters are designed. 

Cindy also sends monthly letters and gifts to the Children's Home of Safety (Bethesda) in Sierra Leone. She uses 10% of her sales to help fund this giving program. She plans to expand her reach and give in more places, so your support will help her to continue.

Cindy is based in the UK and sells through Payhip.


 


My name is Cindy and I am the illustrator and creator of Matthew Mouse Bible stories. I decided in lockdown 2020 to use my love for children's illustrations and create physical letters, sent by a cute little mouse to children through the post.


My aim was to bring much loved Bible stories back to life, while little ones were not able to attend Sunday school or church.
I have now decided to share these letters digitally, making it easier for children across the world to have access to the same stories.

Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy hearing all about what Matthew Mouse gets up to.


Blessings

Christian Products: Fear Not Pocket Cards

 

There is so much to fear in this life, within and without of ourselves. We struggle with personal fears and fears based in living in a fallen world. We live dual lives in the flesh and in our reborn spirits. In response to the challenges of crucifying the flesh and bringing the body under, God Our Father says to fear not! Fear thou not. Fear not for I am with you. Fear not for I am your God. Fear not for I will strengthen you. I will take you right hand and say to you, fear not. I will help you.

This is the strong and durable message that I am conveying in this Fear Not set of pocket cards. Post them around your house. Carry them with you. Give them as gifts. Use them to memorize these dynamic fear not scriptures that will help build up courage in you and transform you into relying more on Our Father God.

Christian Products: Giving Thanks Always Printable


Ephesians 5:15-20

Similar to I Thessalonians 5:14-22, this scripture passage suggests that we cultivate a mind to always give thanks in good times and in bad. Every situation is not good and God does not ask us to live a life of pretense. He is motivating us to grow into gratefulness in abundance and lack, joy and sorrow, peace and upheaval.

When we embrace fear and frustration, we overlook what God may be doing because he works in such unusual ways. Being overly excited when we are blessed can cause us to focus on the blessing and not the Blessor. We can begin to focus on the next expected blessing and forget to take out time to thank God. It's easy to miss what he may be doing. Embracing a thankful spirit will help us to work with God, not against him, in doing his will and receiving from him.

This scripture passage is a reminder that it is God's will for us to grow into the peaceful attitude of thankfulness, not only in difficult times but in good times, as well. We will then attract the good into our lives that God intends and handle difficulties in a way that pleases him.

All good gifts come from him and he takes the bad things and works them out for our good, one way or another. So, give Our Heavenly Father thanks in all things in the name of Jesus.

Christian Products: In Everything Give Thanks

Christian Printable Scripture Graphic by Christian Words Shop
I Thessalonians 5:14-22

We are encouraged to give thanks to God in every situation. Every circumstance is not good and God is not telling us to pretend or lie to ourselves and others. He is encouraging us to train ourselves to be grateful no matter how we feel or what we are experiencing.

God works in unusual and unexpected ways. When we are disturbed by vexation, anger and worry, we easily miss what God may be doing. When we are so overcome with excitement about blessings or successes and we forget to take out time to thank God, we easily miss what he may be doing. Developing a thankful spirit will help us to work with God, not against him, in doing his will and receiving from him.

This scripture passage is a reminder that it is God's will for us to cultivate the peaceful attitude of thankfulness, not only in difficult times but in good times, as well. We will then attract the good into our lives that God intends and handle difficulties in a way that pleases him.

All good gifts come from him and he takes the bad things and works them out for our good, one way or another. So, give Our Father God thanks in all things.
