Isaiah 61

Isaiah 61 verses 1,2, & 3
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.


Words Inspired by Isaiah 61

I've climbed mountains and I've walked through valleys

I've fallen into pits and gotten lost in caves
But no matter how bad it gets or how far I've gone astray
Just in the nick of time Jesus saves

His hand guides me back to the path I left
The light of His love lights my way
He walks on the water in the midst of my storm
And when I listen I can hear Him say

Be still and know that I am God
I am God
I am God
Be still and know I am God

When the ashes of my burnt pride cover me
He gives me beauty
When waves of mourning wash over me
The oil of joy soothes me greatly

And when the spirit of heaviness weighs down my mind
He swaddles me in a garment of praise
He saves me over and over again
So many times, so many different ways

Thank you Lord for your saving grace
For your keeping power I give thanks
Thanks for coming to my secret place

And no matter how stubborn I can be
Thank you for not giving up on me
Though people all around me fail
I know through you good will prevail.

You always know whats best for me
You're the roots to my tree
The branches, the fruit, it's all you
For nothing without you I can do

I love you Lord more than words can say
Thank you 
Thank you for keeping me in this way

In The Beginning

This is the first poem I'd ever written. My pastor had just given a lesson on the subject creation and I felt inspired to write this. It was my first taste of poetry and I've been hooked ever since! I believe my talent has grown much since this poem but I wouldn't want to forget where I began..... In the Beginning by Kesheena LeVasseur 02/14/09 In the beginning When God created His Son He said “ Let's make a world” Let it revolve around the Son So in the beginning A world was made The word of God tells us It took Him six days In the beginning God made Adam and Eve Out of the dust of the earth And into them life He breathed In the beginning God created a tree, Outside of the garden, Of which he told them not to eat In the beginning A choice Adam made To disobey God And go his own way And in the beginning Out of Eden they were sent And because of their sin Back to the dust they went Even now today ...

The Team Member

Another rookie.... The Team Member By Kesheena Levasseur 4/1/09 there was a little boy on a team one day He couldn't catch, he couldn't throw but on the team he wanted to stay He wasn't there to watch or play he just helped the team in his own little way The day he was chosen they didn't want him to stay He was too slow and they told him so He was a failure at their sport, the team would never win But to the championship they were on their way Because of the boy they chose that day When the trophy they got They didn't mention his name Though he'd contributed a lot to the game He'd carried the water and chased stray balls And when the boys fell, an encouragement he'd called But when he was questioned very happy he seemed for he was content just to be a part of the team Here in the Body you may not receive The attention you want but don't be deceived Hold your peace, stay in your place Everyone here is needed God sees you...

No Light

Just a quick thought with a rhyme. Yes I know it has a Dr. Suess flow to it. HAHA. You might have to read it twice to comprehend it. I wrote it and I still have to read it through twice. Well enjoy!! What if there was no light? There’d be no wrong then, right? And if there’s no wrong then there’s no right. And where there’s no right there can’t be light. And without the light we have no sight. The whole world is dark as night. So if there’s no me and there’s no you doing what God has called us to do. Then there’s no light, no wrong, no right. In essence there is no fight. So be the light you’re called to be. The kind that helps the blind to see. 8/16/14
