One Focus (Heart, Soul and Mind): Vol. Two: All for Jesus

By Jeffrey E. Pollock

Christian poetry is a gift from God inspired by the Word of God andgiven to glorify Himself in His Son Jesus. In this mixed-up, self-centered world the Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6) -- the one hope to reach our Father in Heaven, the only reliable source of truth, the creator and sustainer of all life. Worship Him only!

Old Testament, Isaiah 55:11 tells the world Almighty God, Yahweh (the One who is, the unchanging God) is in total control, nothing and no one thwarts His plans! This Scripture passage says it so beautifully: As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. For example, Let there be light, and there was light. Genesis 1:3, NIV

New Testament elaborates, In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:1-5, NLT

This collection of Christian poetry founded upon inerrant Holy Scripture was written to encourage believers in their faith and worship of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, the one and only mediator between God and man. This work of heart is a temporary tribute to His eternal grace and glory.

Hope you will enjoy!

(Heart, Soul and Mind)

He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers — all things have been created through him and for him. - Colossians 1:13-16

"For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

To Him be the glory forever. Amen." - Romans 11:36

It wasn’t my plan to be a poet, but then I fell in LOVE with Evelyn! We both were 28 years old separated by exactly 6 months; she was an October baby, I was born in April. After 19 years of marriage, and going on seven years since her timely death, still the memory is vivid; the first time I looked in her eyes, saw her very soul, and found LOVE! That very moment I believe the Lord Jesus Christ, my shepherd, took me by the heart … and squeezed! I can still recall the words I heard so clearly: Jeff, this is the girl you’ve been praying for, don’t let her get away! By the grace of God in Christ, I didn’t. Right then, I sat down and wrote a love poem to Jesus. Incredibly, it was all about Evelyn! All I did was look in her eyes and God poured His love into my heart, and out
