For you have been born again but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal living word of God.
-1 Peter 1:23(NLT)
ETERNAL LIVING WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you give your life to Christ
You will be guided in your daily life
The eternal living word of God transforms
It makes you stronger to go through storms.
You have been born again when you received him
As a result, your heart and mind were cleaned
Your new life with Christ will last forever
God sent his only Son to be our Redeemer.
I didn’t totally comprehend what “born again” meant many years ago. Coming from a religion that didn’t explain much about what it meant to be born again, all these things were hazy to me. One day as I was studying in my bible online course about being born again, God revealed to me how much he loved me and why he sent his son to save me and cleansed me from sin. From God’s word, the concept became truth. I realized how much God loves me.
The bible tells us that when we become born again, we will be given a life that will last forever because it comes from the eternal living word.

PRAYER
Lord, keep revealing yourself to me through your word.

The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing and it is wonderful to see. – Psalm 118:22-23 (NLT)
GOD TRANSFORMS THE REJECTED
A poem and essay by ILMA
When others reject you, rejoice and be glad
Christ was also cast off but he continued to abide
Jesus came for those who are broken hearted and rejected
Exult for he will ensure that you are healed and protected.
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
This is the Lord’s doing and it is wonderful to see these transformation
God can do anything to build up those who are suffering rejection
Thank him each time you go through the same discrimination.
Rejection was the theme of my life for almost over five decades. I had been rejected during my early years and somehow the enemy infiltrated my former life and generated many lies about rejection. I saw through the filter of the world’s system and it made me an advocate for the oppressed and those without a voice. I did it because it made me have control over my powerlessness when I was rejected.
The bible tells us that Jesus himself was rejected but God made him the cornerstone and the foundation of his church. He transformed the rejected into the source of strength for all to see.
PRAYER
Lord, let me look up to you when rejected.
