Always count on you (Poem)

Connecticut
2025/7/19 Edited to

... Read moreWriting 'Always Count On You' was a deeply personal experience, a reflection on what it truly means to place unwavering trust in God. For me, it’s more than just words; it’s a daily acknowledgment of His presence, a profound sense of gratitude, and a complete reliance on God and Jesus through every season of life. When challenges arise, and I feel lost, remembering His boundless divine love and mercy is what guides me back to peace. It’s a comfort to know that no matter what trials we face, big or small, I can always count on His gentle guidance to light my path. I often think about how essential this message is, especially for young people navigating a world full of questions and uncertainties. Finding meaningful 'poems for youth day' or any day that speak to faith can be incredibly impactful. Poetry, and devotional poems in particular, offer a beautiful way to connect with spiritual truths on an emotional level. They can be a profound source of strength and inspiration, reminding young believers that they are not alone, that they are supported and loved unconditionally. Sharing these expressions of faith within our communities helps to build a foundation of strong, hopeful spirits, fostering a sense of belonging and divine purpose. Becoming a 'spiritual warrior of God' isn't about fighting physical battles, but about embodying faith, resilience, and love in our daily lives. It’s about recognizing the spiritual challenges we face – doubts, temptations, fears – and choosing to stand firm, armed with the knowledge that God's strength is always within us. This means constantly leaning on Him for power, seeking His guidance through prayer and reflection, and living out the divine love and mercy He so freely bestows upon us. It’s a call to be an example of His light in a sometimes-dark world, to spread kindness and compassion, and to face adversity with unwavering courage, knowing we have an invincible ally by our side. It’s about letting our faith shine brightly, inspiring others to find their own path to spiritual strength. Cultivating this deep reliance involves intentional, consistent practices. For me, it’s about starting each day with a heart full of gratitude for all blessings, spending quiet moments in prayer to His divine presence, and immersing myself in scripture to understand His will. These daily habits help solidify my faith and open my heart to receive His constant guidance and wisdom. When we truly grasp that we can 'always count on Him,' fear begins to dissipate, replaced by a profound sense of peace and hope that surpasses all understanding. My hope is that this devotional poem encourages you to deepen your own personal connection with the Creator and experience the profound comfort and strength that comes from His unwavering presence and endless love.

It was believed that the most beautiful women, goddesses, were to have fuller figures and round faces. Look at any statue of Aphrodite and she has a tummy, round cheeks, and often a softer double chin 🫀 The goddess in the first slide was exactly that, a goddess, rolls and thighs, and all 🥰 #godd
