The Word of God is the most delicious thing I have eaten!

The taste is not always sweet! The taste is not always bitter. When I feed myself with THE WORD, the ultimate taste of HOPE, is the one thing that remains. This stays sweet in my soul.

Enjoy my new poem below!

The poems I write, are to bless you. Not impress you.

Since publishing this post, I have had visitors from unique parts of the world, places I haven’t even heard of! That’s amazing! I’m humbled and excited to write ✍️ in “rhyme” for my Saviour!

Love Helen Olenjn x

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:26-27)

It was healing for me

To call Your name

I spoke to You

It was not in vain

♡♡♡

I asked for help

Day after day

I fell on my knees

I had so much to say!

♡♡♡

I was in year 11

When I gave

My heart to You

The students

Who saw me

Had no clue!

♡♡♡

I felt odd, like a misfit

I was convinced I would

Never serve God this quick!

♡♡♡

I didn’t want to become a

Christian in school

I was waiting for later

I had to look cool

♡♡♡

This poem is my story

Of how my life changed

This is a true story

Not an online game!

♡♡♡

I left Adelaide after year ten

A new page turned over

I wasn’t baptised back then!

♡♡♡

I felt all alone

In this W.A. State

I was sixteen and naive

Without any mates

♡♡♡

I heard a Christian song

Playing in my Father’s car

I felt deeply touched!

We had not travelled far!

♡♡♡

Two sisters were singing…

I heard their words so clear

They had beautiful voices

God truly was near

♡♡♡

They sang these words…

“Long ago on a hill

Hanging from a tree

Was a man I did not know

He was calling me”

♡♡♡

“But I turned my back

On Him, and I walked away

Distantly I heard Him say

Come with me today”

♡♡♡

The fight was real

I had to choose right

I could follow God’s will

Or Satan’s evil likes!

♡♡♡

I kept kneeling by my bed

I pleaded in prayer

I asked God to take

The wrong desires away

I knew He was there!

♡♡♡

It was a really tough battle

To fight and conquer sin

But I did it on my knees

And God helped me win

♡♡♡

I finished year 11 and 12

Truly born again

I was baptised at the beach in Perth

It was raining back then!

♡♡♡

On the way back home

A double rainbow

Splashed across the sky

I know God was rejoicing!

He had saved, Christine and I!

♡♡♡

She is my sister

And I know we are

Spiritual twins

We were baptised

On the same day

And I never regret

Following Him!

♡♡♡

You cannot find God

In your own strength, my friend

He does the work for you

His help has no end!

♡♡♡

I felt a peace and joy

I had never experienced before

This was because it

Was total surrender

And I always hit the floor!

♡♡♡

My knees bent down to pray

I was desperate to be saved

Now I am still serving God

After my high school days!

♡♡♡

I am 54 years old now

I know my faith is real

I know I am sealed with

The Holy Spirit

I know the Bible is real!

♡♡♡

Are you looking for

Another faith?

I hear you ask today

You have been

Following Jesus too long

Isn’t there a better way?

♡♡♡

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the light”

He is either lying or He’s 100% right!

♡♡♡

If He is right

Then the Bible must be true

Not only 50% of it

But the whole book’s

For you!

♡♡♡

Heaven and hell exist

These truths are

Not optional to man

If you don’t believe in God

You cannot erase His great plan!

♡♡♡

So common sense dictates

That you need to pick up

God’s Word and pray

There are only

Two boxes to tick

There is not a third way!

♡♡♡

It’s either true or false

Not a third choice to pick!

God is either an idol

Or He really exists!

♡♡♡

The Bible is all true

Or God’s Word

Is just a fable

Jesus didn’t

Sacrifice Himself

And there was no Cain

And no Abel!

♡♡♡

As you read this my friend

There is simply no other conclusion to make

You either follow Jesus’s footsteps

Or the Gospel you will forsake!

♡♡♡
