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!
♡♡♡
