Salvation Story

By Jerry Warren

I was inspired to publish this mainly by my granddaughter. I had been writing for a few years already. The material was on three-by-five notebooks. My granddaughter gathered these notebooks and wanted to put them in a book for our family. While transferring the material form notebooks to paper, she suggested that I should try to get them published. That was about a year ago. So I decided to see if someone was willing to take a chance, and Christian Faith Publishing came up. Many of my poems were inspired while attending church service. I personally believe that the Holy Spirit was involved in some, if not all, of these writings. They were about the constant battle between good and evil or darkness and light. For those who believe, it is an inspiration to continue and share belief when appropriate. The unbelievers will most likely never even look at this. Maybe it will inspire someone to turn to God and find the peace in the showdown of his light. The philosophical parts are the "To Be" verses. These may cause some to have a deeper thought about things we may witness on a daily basis. Most are common sense, some have more than one train of thought, and others are kind of blunt. Some of the poems are political in nature while others have a different aspect, all the while keeping in mind Satan trying to inspire people to turn from God. The universal love of God and the giving of his life for each of us who believe allows us to start a new life through Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for our sin.

Forgive

In our journey

Through this lifetime

Doing things of which we’re sorry

With no reason nor rhyme

Try to set things right

With an apology

If you are not contrite

For most, it’s wait and see

The power to forgive

Rests solely with the forgiver

Remember, God lets you live

Judgement is His to deliver

Forgiveness of transgression

Can be hard to do

It’s good for soul transition

Makes you feel good about you

God has forgiven sin for all

To receive it there is a clue

Accept Christ and stop the fall

From grace and get your due

Forge

Our life event

Is what gives us shape

Are all God-sent

None we should resent

From things in our past

Our future could be determined

Memories we can’t outlast

Lives they could amend

Age causes memories to dim

No need to recall

Depression may come from them

May cause a mental flaw

We need to forgive

Others and ourselves

It’s a better way to live

No bad memories on the shelves

Forgiveness can turn

A bad memory to good

From this we learn

To act the way we should

Satan’s forge is wrong

God’s forge is right

To which do you belong

Try to stay in God’s light

Forget

Forgive and forget

A term often used

The mind may remit

If it isn’t skewed

Forgiveness is a kind

Of a way to live

To forget is sublime

Through God, is how you give

With age memories fade

Event recall is a sketch

Going from light to shade

Imagination begins to stretch

Someone did you wrong

Will you ever make it right?

Forget is where you belong

Dwell in Christ Light

Your sin God forgave

Your transgression He forgot

With His blood, He did save

With His blood, your
