Chapter 2
Kindness Sprinkled with Love

By gudbjorg

      Keys of kindness sprinkled with love
      coming down from heaven above.
      Hope and peace that will fill your life,
      pleasantness, not anger and strife.

 

Author Notes These words came to me in a picture and I didn't fully understand their depth of meaning. 'Sprinkled' has many meanings but the point is that it spread around for the benefit of all in its proximity.


Chapter 3
Wild Wind of Love

By gudbjorg

I'm in love with the wild wind
that blows so wide and free.
It takes me to worlds I've never seen
And shows them all to me.

I'm in love with the wild wind
that sets my spirit free
No more a captive to this world,
I feel it part of me.

I'm in love with the wild wind.
You can share it with me.
Let's dance together in a whirlwind of love;
Our joy for all to see.

Author Notes I've always been fascinated by the wind. Living in the countryside, I could see its effects; I could feel its breath but I could never see where it came from or went to. Just like the Spirit of God, all around us but unseen.


Chapter 4
A Poem to Share

By gudbjorg

What can I say of these poems of mine?
They are but a piece of my heart to thine.
They come out of the blue, pure and strong
an emblem of peace, a dove and a song.

They lift up my heart in my times of need,
they fly like a bird bearing golden seeds.
They come on the wind and fly away,
the whispers of God when I stop to pray.

Their spirit of love is woven in prayer,
a touch divine given to those who care.
Listen to their music's tender tone,
their magical spirit will guide you home.

They'll take you all to a heavenly place,
filling your hearts with so much love and grace.
There'll be no more worries, no more wars,
You'll have no more injuries, pain or sores.

Sorry to say, but it's so often true,
Many people will live their whole lives through,
missing these golden words without guile,
Such treasures of love that would make them smile.

I hope these words are a blessing to you
And make you think of friends who'd like them, too.
Oh, little is much if God is there
So I hope you'll please take the time to share.

Author Notes I started writing words, as they formed themselves into poems in my mind. They are words that encouraged my heart. Before I knew it, they came so quickly that I didn't have time to write them all down and I lost many of them. However, when I read what I had recorded, I thought they might encourage others as they did me and started to share them.


Chapter 5
Grasping the Spirit's Mystery

By gudbjorg

Just like the flower of the field
you must all your spirit yield
to your Lord to do His will
which creates an awesome thrill.
Will you be My piece of chess
to choose to do not any less
than to follow My gentle lead
to only live kind, loving deeds?

When Your spirit moves in me
I can only glory see
in those I live with all day long.
What a mystery is this song
coming straight from Heaven above
teaching me the Law of Love.
Mysterious in this truth of Thine
hidden in Thy beloved chimes.

When I want My heart to share,
you must show Me that you care
by your little deeds so fine,
and your singing spirit sublime.
Will you be as an open book?
Transparency is for what I look
to be as loving as I would be
in the spirit, wild and free.

Author Notes This poem is very special to me as it came to me in the spirit fully formed. All I had to do was write it down.


Chapter 6
Have a Good Day

By gudbjorg


Have a good day.
Regard what you say.
Forget not to pray.
And do not delay,
Or you'll leave the day
In disarray.

My request
Is that you do your best.
Endure the test.
Make the better best.
Let this be your quest.
Then I'll give you rest.

Author Notes When thinking about the day ahead, it can be daunting. Beginning it with positive thoughts, meditating in prayer and looking at all the good things, while refusing negativity these rhymes came to my mind and I wrote them down. Thoughts are real things and they can either make or break the day.


Chapter 7
Faith is Alive

By gudbjorg

Step out by faith My warrior band,
Boldly and bravely claiming the land.
Your faith is alive, so strong and grand,
A powerful force that helps you stand.

This is a story woven in prayer,
A chapter in history, you must share.
Don't you worry, I'll always be there,
You're a vessel of grace, love and care.




Chapter 8
Act on Your Faith

By gudbjorg

Step out by faith My warrior band,
Boldly and bravely claiming the land.
Your faith is alive, strong and grand,
A powerful agent that helps you stand.

This is a story woven in prayer,
A chapter in history, you must share.
Do not worry, I will always be there,
Your Source of grace, love and care.


Chapter 9
Don't Let the Shadows Scare You

By gudbjorg

Don't let the shadows scare you,
for there's nothing there to fear.
For Our Lord is strong and mighty,
so lovely and so dear.
Lift your heart to heaven,
and let your spirit fly.
Fill it with happy thinking,
through His Word to Him I draw nigh.

Author Notes This little poem describes the inner battles many of us must fight but the Lord is strong and mighty and He'll pull us through.


Chapter 10
Beyond the Call of Duty

By gudbjorg

I never found such sweet, great love,
Which was sent to us from Him above.
"He's in love with us, our Great Big King!"
Don't you hear all nature sing?
The birds are flying in the air,
The flowers grow, the ground they share.
What a loving sample they fulfil
Teaching us His greater will
To follow Him with all our hearts
As from the world our life departs
To see in depth His loving beauty
To serve Him beyond the call of duty
All around us in work and play
This happens to us every day.

Author Notes Like to send this poem I wrote a while ago as I embraced a new day with all it had in store for me. I've edited it to clarify it.


Chapter 11
The White Fairy

By gudbjorg

There is a fairy, white as snow
she fills your life with Heaven's glow.
She makes you smile in spite of pain,
knowing that she'll only gain
many souls for the Kingdom to come,
where sorrow will be forever gone.

This is my girl; in her inner beauty
she gives and loves beyond her duty.
Always there, she finds her place,
in others hearts' to fill a space.
A love fairy in all her splendour
giving her all in full surrender.

What a wonder is this day.
Listen to what the angels say.
They whisper words of love to you
revealing only the deepest truth
of life's battles and their stories
wrapped in God's own radiant glory.

Author Notes This poem was given to me by inspiration for an encouragement to one of my dearest friends. Thank you avmurray for your beautiful artwork.


Chapter 12
Up in the Mountains

By gudbjorg

Up in the mountains, the sun is so bright,
lifting my spirit to heavenly heights.

The flowers in bloom, their life giving flow

the spirit of Heaven, marvelous glow.

Ethereal voices speak to me there,

of all the beauty that nature can share.

Heavenly beings sent down from above

who give their strength to the people of love,

these faithful few fought, determined to win,

setting us free from the shackles of sin.

The warrior band so bold and so brave

in full surrender their lives freely gave

to their Saviour, our loving King of kings,

divine Creator of all living things.

 

Author Notes I got this poem after talking with a friend, who lives on a mountain in Switzerland.


Chapter 13
Love is Such a Mysterious Thing

By gudbjorg

Love is such a mysterious thing,
it comes and goes, but always is.
Like a blooming flower in the spring
it waits, it dances and it sings.

Sometimes it faces sorrow and pain
like a living substance in the rain.
With divine power it delights to live
in the hearts of those who long to give.

Author Notes Love is like a fragrance of glory that shines, a live giving flow from Heaven.


Chapter 14
Heavenly Peace

By gudbjorg

Fill me with Your Words divine,
Make of me a loving shrine.
Giving peace within my soul,
Heavenly peace that makes me whole.

Author Notes This poem is a little sample of my morning prayers, given to me by an inspiration by the Lord


Chapter 15
Mary once was filled with light

By gudbjorg

Mary one night was filled with light,
with heavenly love shining bright.
Embedded deep within her soul
became the Man Who makes you whole!

This happened in the midst of night,
when all was quiet, sleeping tight.
Mary woke, saying, "All is well",
Greeting the angel Gabriel.

This was the hour of destiny
that sparkles through eternity.
Receive Him deeply in your heart
His love will make all sin depart.

In the beginning was the Word
made human flesh, as you have heard.
There's nothing more than just to say
Give others love and always pray.

To add one line I like to do,
Mary, Gabriel and you too.
The gift He gives, simple and true:
He'll always be in love with you.

Author Notes I got the basics of this message as a poem by a vision a few years ago. I've edited it with a friend of mine.
Special thanks to the beautiful Artwork by eileen 0204


Chapter 16
The Flow of God's Love

By gudbjorg

God's love sparkles like a dime,
is present with us all the time.
It flows all around you and kisses your cheek,
and teaches us how to be humble and meek.

Author Notes Just wrote this short quatrain in the quiet of the early morning just before sunrise.


Chapter 17
The Golden Treasure

By gudbjorg

The glory of Love and inner peace,
give your heart a sweet release.
Where fears are gone, and love is bold,
here is a story that must be told.

Lying hidden in a shadowed love,
golden treasure from above,
Lives a life in a worldly sense,
looks to the stars, and makes amends.

Life is not just a fantasy land,
a playground on a golden strand.
For wherever we go, we leave a trend,
that follows us to the very end!

Be faithful now My dearest love,
to the heavenly sunshine from above.
Treasure your faith above all else,
in your heart God's Love still dwells.

We must all the shadows try,
the world of madness where sin is nigh.
But greater is He that dwells in you
the King of glory, lovely and true.

Author Notes Artwork - A Grand Entrance by Angelheart- Thank you!


Chapter 18
The Battle Grim

By gudbjorg

Looking out over lands and seas,
Wielding the power of the keys,
Transporting you to the golden shore,
Where love and peace reign evermore.

There's a warrior band ready to fight,
With all their faith and awesome might.
Defeating the enemy's force forever,
That's their great and crowning endeavour.

Call on the keys; use their power,
Boldly and bravely, every hour,
Freeing the lost from the enemy's jaws,
Giving your life to a worthy cause.

Then you will be My shining lights
All the way through the darkest nights;
Braving the wild and raging storm,
Reaching the destiny to which you were born.

Winning the mighty battle grim,
Strengthened by heavenly courage within.
You'll overcome evil's powers
Dwelling forever in heavenly bowers.

Author Notes The spiritual battles are real, and in order to withstand them we must rise above them with faith. This poem came about as a result of some intense battles with the effects of sickness on both myself and those around me.


Chapter 19
Giving

By gudbjorg

Giving is like a loving duty,
Fragranced in her humble beauty.
Always there in every place,
Waiting to serve and fill a space.

So let us give to win a friend
Who will dwell with us till the end.
The Lord is loving, He is so fair,
He showed me how to give and share.

As you embrace His awesome ways,
They will lead you to the end of days
Your life will capture Heaven's glory
And the world will read of our love story.

Author Notes Embracing giving plays a fundamental part in having a happy life.


Chapter 20
Our Bundle of Love

By gudbjorg

Morning dawns and the sun arises, 
Clouds low'ring in the sky above. 
A hushed silence, hardly a bird doth sing!
Life goes on, to Thee I cling,
My Saviour and my Lord.

I ask no questions, my heart is torn,
I come to Thee in Heaven's court.
I lay at Your feet my bundle of love,
Precious child sent from above,
My Saviour and my Lord.

There in Heaven is brightness untold,
Songs of praise, with joy evermore.
This tiny babe now unites you anew,
With courage, My dears, faithful to
Your Saviour and your Lord.

Your bundle of love, waiting above,
Shining in light at Heaven's throne,
Just interceding and pleading for you,
Praying you will stay true to
Your Saviour and your Lord.

Author Notes A very dear young mother close to me fought to have the faith to trust in God in spite of very testing circumstances. The death of her tiny baby brought a whirlwind of emotions but peace can come through a view into the heavenly realm.


Chapter 21
My Husband, My Hubby

By gudbjorg

My husband is a marvellous man,
gladly gives me a helping hand.
Whenever I need support and care,
my loving hubby is always there.

Love is tranquil and love is kind,
the purest form we seldom find.
Just like the light, it shines so bright.
In darkness it's the best of guides.

Author Notes I'eve been fighting Parkinson's Disease for a decade but couldn't have done it without the support of a loving husband who is willing to help at all hours of day or night.


Chapter 22
Sweet, Great Love

By gudbjorg

I never found such sweet, great love,
Sent to us from our dear God above.
He's in love with us, our wonderful King.
Don't you hear the nature sing?

Birds are flying in the air,
Flowers grow, the Earth they share.
A sample of love they fulfill,
That teaches us His greater will.

Following Him with all our heart,
His loving beauty's a work of art.
That's all around us in work and play,
Filling our lives every day.

Author Notes This poem came to me when I was working with and teaching children in South-East Asia. It was an inspiring time that I have treasured in my heart ever since.


Chapter 23
Christmas

By gudbjorg

He was born on Christmas day
So lovely to be found.
In a manger laid in hay
And angels all around.

A star was shining in the sky,
And shepherds on the hill.
He came to earth to live and die
To help us do God's will.



 

Author Notes This little poem came to me in 1970 and I always kept it safe, so here it is.


Chapter 24
Just Like a Melody in a Song

By gudbjorg

Like a melody in a song,
I listen to Him all day long.
During the day and in the night,
His loving voice is my delight.
 
 

Author Notes This little melody came like a gust of wind bringing these words to my attention. Listening to the Lord is like listening to a melody.


Chapter 25
Listen to the Voice

By gudbjorg

Listen to the voice
That leads you to do right,
Leave the past behind you
And let it be your guide.

See the inner beauty
That dwells within your heart,
This is the hidden secret
Of who thou really art.

Living in the present
Is the way to live your life,
Remember that the past is gone;
There is no glory in strife.

Don't let sadness rule your life,
But rather forge ahead.
For this is all that matters,
What more could there be said?

Written 26th October 2012

Author Notes There are times in our lives when we feel like everything is going bad for us and we wallow in these negative thoughts, going back and forth over and over again. What they lead to is unhappiness and darkness. This poem was written as a guide and a light to help us guard our thoughts, look on the positive side and value them as one of our greatest treasures. Writing things down makes our minds stronger and makes it easier to switch over to the positive side.


Chapter 26
Embrace Integrity

By gudbjorg

Embrace integrity, My warrior band.
On its truth and honesty you must stand.
My little ones have now grown so tall
But sometimes they think they know it all.

I'm moulding My army to a high degree.
Only love and honesty will make them free.
Capture this truth and get on board,
For in My Kingdom waits great reward.

Leave no trails of lies or deceit,
Putting your loved ones at risk of defeat.
Stand in the gap, your sword held high,
Uniting the army with your warriors' cry.

This is My plea to you, My youth:
Build on the foundation of love and truth.
Negative thoughts rebuke and fight.
Fill your life with Love's warm light.

Hold nothing back, My dearest Loves.
Be filled with the sunshine that streams from above.
Break free from the shadows and take your stand,
Wielding the keys, bring light to the land.

Cleanse your hearts from the sins of youth,
From now speak only words of truth.
The First Place must belong to Me.
Serve Me in truth and humility.

For here there are but a faithful few,
Who will pay the price to stand strong and true.
Come, My Loves, and walk with Me,
Up the rugged road of integrity.

Author Notes Seeing young people growing up in the face of many negative influences in society, I felt concerned to help them grow strong on firm spiritual principles that would stand them in good stead throughout their lives. Of course, integrity doesn't apply only to youth, as we are all subject to tests and trials of our character and spirit. After some time pondering the topic, this poem formed in my mind.


Chapter 27
Happiness Shines

By gudbjorg

I'd like to say this to all I know:
God's sparkling spirit came in you to grow.
From a heavenly mansion, it flows to you,
So beautiful and so unearthly true.
It landed where it was meant to land,
Destined for you to understand.


Look to the light, it'll guide your life,
Freeing you forever to blossom and thrive.
Let love flourish, filling your heart,
As it was meant to right from the start.
Happiness shines like a glittering star,
All around you, both near and far

Author Notes This poem came to me supernaturally and all I had to do was write it down, like a channel or a conduit. We don't find happiness, it comes to you as you give it away.


Chapter 28
Enjoyment

By gudbjorg

Enjoyment is something we foster inside,
loveliest thoughts that spring in the night.
Enjoying the moment that fills you with strength,
no matter how wide or how much the length.

We feed on the moment when life is a strain
A light in the darkness we happiness gain.
Stay in that state as long as you can,
that is the secret of what I did plan.

Making the most of the moment You say,
So much desired when we stoop to pray.
Making the most of the moment I ask
making a masterpiece out of a task.

Author Notes This poem came to me as an encouragement and a blessing in time of need, when I needed enhanced power and strength to go on.


Chapter 29
Making the Most of Moment

By gudbjorg

Making the most of the moment makes a masterpiece,

much to be desired, and it'll put your heart at ease.

For your life is just a vapour that soon shall fade away,

like the memory of a flower and the beauty of the day.



What more is there to be desired than life lived in happiness,

The World is still around you, but your spirit is clear and fresh.

Don't let this blessed moment pass away, My dear,

for there are wondrous riches to be found in the silence of a prayer!



Why don't you simply focus on the things that make you wise,

rather than let confusion fill your mind with lies?


It is best to just be joyful, letting gladness fill your heart

instead of facing disarray as your morning falls apart.

Author Notes Better to start the day with a positive outlook on life and shun the negative influences all around you. Writing poems helps me to keep my mind on things that encourage my heart.


Chapter 30
The Warrior

By gudbjorg

A warrior who fights to win
With the power of God's might within.
His destiny is to rule and reign
With Jesus in His heavenly domain.

For this is not a fantasy land
Built on doubt's sinking sand.
For there is in Heaven a better way
Where His children are destined to stay.

In this realm of love and beauty
No work is done just out of duty.
It's in little things we do and say
that lives are changed every day.

Words can be spoken all day long
As fine lyrics in a song.
Setting those who love at ease,
Creating a marvellous stress release.

Author Notes A few years ago, I was faced with a great challenge in my life, something that was too big for me to face alone.


Chapter 31
The Warrior's Creed

By gudbjorg

My treasures so brave and bold
the story that has yet to be told.
Your dreams are set past the stars
yet it hasn't appeared who you are.

I'm grooming you to be the light

full of wisdom and delight.
To set the captives free at last,
turn around and forget the past.

The future untold is what you see
the blueprint of who you could be.

So My warrior you must be strong
lifting your spirit in a battle song.
The soldiers of youth, lift your heads
nourish your spirit, you must be fed.

Let not your emotions cause you to fall,
but rather eye the golden shore.
The future untold is what you see
the blueprint of who you could be.


Chapter 32
Rose of Sharon

By gudbjorg

Rose of Sharon is the name
Of the Shepherd of the lame.
Enwrapping you in His loving arms
Forever protecting you from harm.

Dreams and visions past the stars
Give a glimpse of who you are.
Hold onto Him in your time of need
Filling your heart with His golden seeds.

Shining brightly through the night
Giving hope and the will to fight.
Look to the heavens, for what can beat,
The one who is called, chosen indeed?

Author Notes This poem came to me already formed, like a breath of wind and I wrote it down as fast as I could before I forgot too much of it. It came as an inspiration to encourage my faith and hold me tight to His promises.


Chapter 33
Lovely Soul

By gudbjorg

Lovely soul so full of peace,

Sets my aching heart at ease!

Full of glory, full of light.

Her sun has set; now it's night.


Angels sing and take her hand

And bring her to the Promised Land.

Forever in Heaven, she will be,

Full of joy and ecstasy.

Author Notes This message was given to me in the form of a poem shortly before my sister's homegoing. It was very comforting and faith-building and I know now she's happy forever in Heaven.


Chapter 34
To the God of the Universe

By gudbjorg

To the God of the universe, I humbly pray.
Wash me and cleanse me by Your Spirit today.
I long for Your voice, for Your words so divine.
None can compare to You, Jesus, You're mine!
Renew me with strength from Your Spirit of peace;
I treasure Your touch, that to my aches gives surcease.
Great God of the universe, lover of my soul,
You give me so much, making me every whit whole.
Basking in Your sunshine by the shade of the trees,
hearing Your whispers, as soft as the breeze.
Feeling Your love and Your warm, sweet embrace,
I praise and adore You; I lift up my face
and sing to You praises in sweet, soft refrain.
In my heart do I worship Your loveliest Name.

Author Notes I got inspired to write this prayer poem after reading a beautiful devotional morning prayer. Thank godspeeddeepak for his inspired artwork.


Chapter 35
Love is a Mystery

By gudbjorg

Love is such a mysterious thing,

it comes and goes, but always is.

Like a blooming flower in the spring

it waits, it dances and it sings.



There's nothing like a heavenly bliss

or the sweetness of a loving kiss.

There is deep wonder in your eyes

as feeding rapture found in mine.



Sometimes it faces sorrow and pain

like a living substance in the rain.

With divine power it delights to live

in hearts of those who long to give.

Author Notes A deep spiritual poem about a giving love that doesn't disappear into the shadows in spite of pain.
Thank you beppe47 for your inspired artwork.


Chapter 36
Master of Love

By gudbjorg

Master of Love is His name,
magnificent in His own domain.
There's power in His loving smile,
the Man in whom there is no guile.

He is the One I love so much,
His tender eyes, His slightest touch.
Unearthly is His deepest look,
lovely like a sparkling brook.

His words are music to my ears,
deeper than my heart can share.
Heaven-sent from God's Own throne,
a presentation of Him alone.

His love was a gift sent from above
straight from our dear God of love.
It was a love of the rarest kind,
the love that we almost never find.

Now I give this love back to You,
sharing it with the "chosen few."
Oh, give me strength to fight and win,
in spite of the battle strong within.

There is a power without measure,
given to you to adore and treasure.
This power is in the keys of old,
made of more value than finest gold.

Sometimes we face sorrow and pain,
I think of the battles and the strain.
I send my prayers to give you sight
filling your heart with love's delight.

But if we give without restraint,
total fulfillment we will gain.
Eternally on heavenly heights,
captured in His love so bright.

Author Notes Love has no boundaries expressed in a poem, it gives your soul and spirit wings.


Chapter 37
The Power of Faith

By gudbjorg

Faith is divine, it builds up our life,
It teaches us vigour, not pain nor strife,
It makes us much more than ever before,
Facing the future to reach Heaven's shore.

When you feel downcast, get up instead!
Look up to the heavens, not to the bed.
Faith will take us and cause us to stand
Strong is this warrior at your right hand.

So when you falter, He'll always be there,
Standing beside you, ever so near.
Faith is a substance mingled with love,
Created for His children by God up above.

Author Notes This is the first of a series of poems on Faith. There is so much to learn about it that I couldn't put it all in one poem.


Chapter 38
The Strength of Faith

By gudbjorg

Faith is more precious than finest gold,
This is a saying from days of old.
It gives you power when times look bleak,
It gives you strength when you're feeling weak.

Faith is a force, giving you power,
Giving vigour in a needy hour.
You'll forge on forward to win and gain
Conquering o'er the Devil's domain.

Faith is alive, not a fantasy
Faith is not measured by what you see,
It comes by God's wisdom from above,
A product of His unending love.

Faith is not something that's bought or sold,
It's the driving force that makes you bold.
To gain it you must in God believe,
Rejecting all that lie and deceive.

It fills up your life with love and peace
As you from life's darkness are released.
The light that shines down from God above
Is simply that faith mingled with love.

Faith knows not all that the future holds,
But trusts as God that future unfolds.
Revealing secrets both small and grand
That in its power you'll safely stand.

As the future unfolds do not fear,
Cling to your faith; and all will be clear
Stand and proclaim to all those around
Others will heed that clarion sound.

Give yourself fully to Him indeed.
Let His Divine Word become your creed.
Desperate people your faith will see
And they'll grasp His Truth that sets them free.

Author Notes Everyone has faith in something. The best faith is in the Creator Who will lead and guide any who give themselves to Him. Faith is very valuable when times get tough!


Chapter 39
Is Temptation Your Friend?

By gudbjorg

Don't let temptation be your boss,
For then you're certain to suffer loss.
Every time that you fail to stand
You'll lose and life will go out of hand.

Don't let temptation make you slip.
When climbing life's mountain get a grip.
If you give in, you'll slide way down
To the mire and bog in which you'll drown.

Don't let temptation you distract.
You'll lose conviction by such an act.
If you take your eyes off the ball
there are consequences and you'll fall.

Don't let temptation rule your life.
You'll only have turmoil, pain and strife.
God has a plan for you to fill.
Keep your eyes focused doing His Will.

Author Notes I wasn't able to finish this for the contest but thought the concept was really good, so wanted to post this anyway. Temptation seems so attractive at the time, but there's always a price to pay.
I want to thank Long Thian for his amazing artwork. He really catches the spirit of the battle going on behind the scenes!
