A Purpose to Remember: A Nations Faith

By Roger Nieves

A Purpose to Remember is a collection of short poetic stories. The poetic stories are inspired by my experiences, my faith in God, man and country. They are stories that will bring laughter, joy and cause you to be inspired and think beyond your own boundaries. My hope is you will get a grasp of a nations' faith which I have experienced for over 30 years.

CHAPTER ONE

THIS IS OUR PURPOSE

During your time in reading these poetic stories I hope you will find a great resemblance between the purpose of our Founding Fathers and the cross of Jesus Christ.

Upon His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ set into motion this purpose which our Founding Fathers have taken a hold of with their whole heart, mind and strength. It is because of this purpose and the many people who have placed their trust in God and Savior Jesus Christ, that I have included these poems in my book.

It is here in these short poetic stories that I write of the sufferings, pain, faith, hope, love, grace and forgiveness that is so prevalent in the lives of those who place their trust and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ. Read these stories and try to gain a better understanding why we as believers place our confidence in God’s hands.

The Most High

With each legion of angels who adheres to God’s call,

as God’s cross is never questioned nor is his protocol.

He is the Master Creator over all the earth,

where grace is given and predestined at birth.

He is the developer and finisher over every mans soul

and when the world needed a Savior, he stepped into control.

Where is this place that the Most High abides?

it is the place where His angels, from His face they hide!

From the inside of each person what is mans part-

is it to have faith within their mind or from the heart!

When he reveals to those who faithfully understand,

will mankind believe this Savior as heavens expand.

With the dawning of man, this Most High was ordained first

within our earthly domain where He will quench every thirst.

The Most High has a special touch, unto all glory,

because of the faith of Abraham, He created purgatory.

He will lead the faithful with His trumpets sound,

into the streets of heaven where His angels abound.

When the lost needed a Savior and needed to be healed,

the Most High stepped down with the grace He revealed.

The Most High is glory and hope for all mankind,

as the Godhead, Godspeed and Spirit combined.

His Forgiving Heart

While God’s grace and righteousness has taken our pain,

so has the Cross of Calvary that seemed so inhumane.

From the Testament of Old to those who are astute,

He brought a forgiving heart as our worthy pursuit.

Our benefit in this matter is our desire to know,

if the forgiveness we receive, He will forever sow.

Many received this remission that the Cross would pave,

on the streets of Golgotha with freedom from the grave.

Upon His throne is Jesus Christ designed the heart,

so that each person would have a meaningful part.

God addresses forgiveness as a character of grace,

on the Cross of Calvary that Jesus would embrace.

He never imposed on nature as the Godhead of All,

declaring within scripture what Jesus would install.

"I will be placed on the Cross with your every pain,

until the Redemption I reclaim, becomes your gain".

When this ordeal had ended as a timely pursuit,

they scorned and laughed Arise with the astute.

The Lamb of Forgiveness on the morning after the grave,

would appear to the faithful on the sands of these brave.

The Inward Cross

Jesus was humbled at the chance, whereby to receive

the battling of His thoughts and the fears they’d conceive.

The Zealots turned their heads when He would appear,

as Jesus worshiped His Father who created the spear.

During this inward Cross Jesus went forth with grace,

to the Cross of Calvary where He accepted our place.

His parables astounded the astute
