I would not be who I am today if I had not gone through what I did yesterday-I am here-God allowed it ;therefore, it was o.k.
Thank you. God bless

Hello,
Thanks for stopping by. My name is Arene and I wanted to tell
you a little something about me in case the wrong idea is taken from
my work of love. My poems are intended to reach the souls of those
who have experienced something in their lives and think that at the
moment they will not make it through. Holding on to the past,
prevents one from enjoying the present and not seeing a better future.
It is possible to make it through, but my one hope is that you do
not lose you in the process. Philippians 4:13-I can do all things
through Christ who strengtheneth me. My poems began to have more
substance directly or indirectly through my life experiences.  Only
God has allowed me to stand today.
I have been told that I am able to express in my poetry deep
emotions of how one feels.  My hope is that my poems lift your
spirit back in the direction of God. There have been times when I
have read them again and been re-diredted myself.
Thank you again for stopping by and may the grace of God be with
you always.
Much peace and love,

Arene
P.S Except for the grace of God, there go I

A true friend struggles to save a mans soul, but an
enemy will assist him to destroy it!
Your character should always be aware that whether
man sees you or not, God is watching you!

Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth
from My mouth; it shall not return to
me void, But it shall accomplish what
I please and it shall prosper in the
thing for which I sent it

Poetic passages (click here)
A study was done to show the effects of negative
words and or images on race and gender. Those
who were exposed to the negative comments or
images,  tested significantly lower than those not
given the negative input. In fact, those given
positive input tested even higher than expected.
Those who were tested thought that the negative
input had no effect on them at all.
 

THEY WERE WRONG!
Are you "BEING"
positive or
negative in your
life and the lives
of others?
It's your choice!

“Only Christ”

We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed
Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated
Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone
Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone”

When men and women have relations out of marriage what is, is not what was
If men and women marry because of lust instead of God commissioned love

All will find before it is done obedience is far better than sacrifice
Only God can ordain a man as a husband and a woman as a wife?

Things done in secret places and in the dark will one day be revealed
Confess and ask forgiveness and at judgment, Jesus will keep them sealed

I speak these words after I check myself and I pluck the boulder out of my own eye
What person is capable of un-ringing a bell once it is rung no matter how hard they
try?

We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed
Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated
Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone
Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone”

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and a man is not to waste his seed
Has the Lord already not warned of a whorish woman brings a man to his knees?

Honor and direct the weaker vessel and not make her as one who is tattered and torn
Keep ever present in mind “Hell has no fury like a woman who has been scorned

These days the leaders and head of the home have become selfish lovers of selves
Children are misguided and women turn from natural affection which points to hell

Christ is consistent from beginning to end and his arms are opened as he waits
We are the ones who move from Him, but will we return before it is too late?

We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed
Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated
Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone
Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone”

How can the things already done be corrected, changed or taken away?
Christ can cover them with His blood and we can start over from today

We have to listen to the Holy Spirit because my God cannot and has never lied
If the Holy Spirit can not be heard, it has been grieved, or the person has never tried

Keep Gods word in your mind, on your lips and most of all in your hearts
This is how to stay ahead of temptations and prevent the sin before it starts

No matter how small or how large it may be, the wages of sin is death
Remember when sin is done by the believer, we crucify Christ afresh

We cannot hide it, change it, erase it, or correct it once it is completed
Only Christ can stand before the throne for us while we remain seated
Once a sin is done, there is nothing we can do as it is inked in stone
Only Christ can forgive us for sinning, cover it or say “sin be gone”

Luke 9:20
"But what about you?" he
asked. "Who do you say I
am?" Peter answered, "The
Christ of God."

If your actions represent
who you are ;although you
remain silent, you will be
heard loud and clear.

Number 23: 19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man,
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or
hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

“God Said O.K.”

When you belong to God, he weighs everything before he allows it to come your way
Think of what Satan was allowed to do to Job on any God given permission day

From boils- to friends criticism- to the loss of each child’s life
His home destroyed and no support from even his wife

It is easy for us to observe and say that Job was a strong man
His faith was strengthened because he followed Gods plan

I bet Job was the priest of his home and set a good example
He gave a good tithe and offering and his blessings were ample

When Satan has tempted you and you do happen to fall
Remember that your bill has been tallied and Jesus paid it all

All you have to do is repent of your sins and call on His name
Change your life style and do not do things the same

Study the word to show yourself approved
In doing this, your testimony shall not be moved

Consider the servant Job and do as he did
The righteousness of Christ can keep your sins hid

Remember this saying when you are going through
Your seemingly bad experiences, God allowed to get through

When you belong to God, he weighs everything before he allows it to come your way
Think of what Satan was allowed to do to Job on any God given permission day

Remember before he was allowed to do it-God said “o.k.”

Romans 6:23
The wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God
is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our
Lord.
John 3:16
For God so loved the
world, that He gave his
only begotten son, so
that who so ever
believeth in him should
not perish,but hath
everlasting life.

"Obedience is better
than sacrifice"
“God Loves Us”

God loves us even when we do not love ourselves
Sometimes we reach for Him and then refuse His help

He has warned many times and then he warns us again
We can not live a life as a Christian and continue in sin

I am not talking to you of this warning as if it is not for me
God sends people to remove my blindfolds so that I may see

If you know the love of God like I do, He never will lie
Sometimes we give up on His will before we really try

This is a true saying as Christians are always on one accord
God will use His will as He pleases for He is Lord of Lords

God loves us even when we do not love ourselves
Sometimes we reach for Him and then refuse His help

If we continue in sin, we may grieve the Holy Spirit
This is why some of us seem lost and can not hear it

We can not mix righteousness with sin and think it is o.k.
We are to serve the Lord always- so choose Him today

If God has given you the person to share your life
Do not dishonor each other: be husband and wife

Yes, we are passionate people filled with lust and love
It is undefiled when commissioned from God above

God loves us even when we do not love ourselves
Sometimes we reach for Him and then refuse His help

This one is for us Christians,

"Putting The Pieces Together"
“Labeled”

Some were labeled when brought to this country against their free will
Some labels run deep and hurt us still

Some were labeled as being a boy or a girl
Some labels are obvious when we are born into this world

Some were labeled because of nature or by an individual’s choice
Some labels are quiet while others have a loud voice

Some labels were given to children that set them up to fail
Some labels are now homeless, hopeless, helpless, deceased or in jail

I am not necessarily the label you give because of what you think you see
No matter what label I am given, I can only be me

For now- just call me by my name,
Arene

1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I
talked like a child, I
thought like a child, I
reasoned like a
child, when I
became a man I put
childish ways
behind me
