~ To The Glory Of God ~

1 Corinthians 10:31
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God."

I love God, and I love to read the Word of God.

I would rather read the books of the Bible,
Then read any other books.

I would rather write out the verses of Scripture,
Then write out any other verses.

I would rather memorize the Words of God,
Then memorize any other words.

I have always loved to read and write.
From the hour I learned how to read in my mind,
my mind has not ceaced to love reading.

One day, as I was reading my Bible, God spoke to
my heart through His Word, and I accept Jesus Christ
as my personal Lord and Savior. The more I read my
Bible, the more I grow in God's love.

I started writing my first journal when I was eleven,
and by the time I was twelve I had written my first poem.
Since then I have written several more journals,
many more poems, a host of E-mails, and a handful
of letters.

Here is one of my very first poems:
(I gave it no title, but I did give it a verse)

"... the whole earth is full of his glory." Isaiah 6:3

Mountains, valleys,
Streams and lakes,
Birds and Butterflys,
No man can make,
But God can make them,
God has created them,
God made you,
The animals too,
And all things are made new.

From the very start, God has been the center of,
and the reason for the poetry that I write. God
has helped me to write, and given me the inspiration
and desire to write. The more I write, the more I
wonder at the beauty and truth of the Bible.
The Word of God is truly the greatest book in the world,
and it's Author the greatest Poet in the universe.
If I, through my poems, can better share His Word...
and sow the precious seed in the heart of even

one person,
then it will we worth it all.
