By Phillip Ritter

In times of joy or in times of despair, Inspirational Insights and Poems of Uplifts will lift you and remind you that God is on our side. He is the giver of joy and peace.

Every page has springs of living water, telling you God is in control.

The living water will cause the desert to blossom as the rose, the spirit to revive, the earnest seeker to be encouraged.

Youll feel God loving you.

Inspirational Insights are poems given to me over the years as I meditated and prayed.

Poems of uplifts through Gods Word many of you will recognize as being from the Bible, Gods Word. That is the reason they are uplifting.

Read early in the morning with a cup of coffee. What a great way to start the day, or at the end of the day it will refresh you.

If you find the Bible hard to read, youll enjoy reading Poems of Uplifts from Gods Word.

Let his words love you, and help you in your daily walk with the Lord.
