From God's Heart, to Mine, to Yours: Heaven

By E. P. Shagott

God is speaking to us all! Are we listening? He chooses to speak to us in various forms. In this book it is in poetic form. His message is in the poems…

Poetry is the heart singing,
it comes from deep within.
When you hear these words of love,
they really come from Him.

It is a way to tell all, He loves them.
A way to touch each and every heart.
It is a flowing of His Spirit,
like when David would play his harp.

E. P. Shagott

ED SHAGOTT, with the Lord’s direction, is the creator of the God’s Love Outreach Western New York that began touching hearts for Christ in January 2004. God started touching Ed’s life with poetry in the early 1990’s. In a span of 20 plus years He has inspired Ed with over 700 poems to touch those who needed to hear God speaking directly to them in poetic form. In March of 1997, Ed surrendered his life to Jesus. Since January 2004 Ed has presented God’s Love programs to over 70 nursing and assisted living residences. Many of the poems from this book have been shared, combined with music and inspirational stories to let all know that God loves them and has not forgotten any of them.

The Righteous

There will come a time

like it was in the past,

when a question about a righteous person

most definitely will be asked.

So long ago there were many people

who turned from God and were living in sin.

Abraham called out to God who was angry,

and had a question to ask of Him.

Would God destroy this place

if fifty righteous people Abraham could find?

God would not and spare all

and this will be the sign.

Well, most know the story

for Abraham fifty he could not find,

so he asked God again and again,

until only ten was left on his mind.

My friends, today is very similar

just like it was in the past.

Wrong is becoming the right

and the righteous is hard to find if asked.

So what about you?

In which line will you be?

Is it with the many that turned from God,

or will it be with the few righteous and me?

The Lady Wept

So many years she stood on guard

her torch lit the way.

She greeted so many that freedom called,

standing true to its cause, but not today.

Today she covered her eyes,

as her silent tears fell to the ground.

Why are all the true Americans just watching

as our beloved country goes tumbling down.

Why are people kneeling down

when our National Anthem is played?

Why are so many cities disgraced,

and many saying, it’s in justice name?

Our beloved country is being divided

that once many, together lived and died to protect.

Yes, today the Statute of Liberty laid down the torch,

because of what is happening, the lady wept!

Oh God above Who loves us so,

we need a touch of Your almighty hand.

Remove the hate and bitterness all around,

and I pray, You
