Poems and Short Stories Inspired By Faith In Jesus Christ by Jeremy Holt

                                       It’s Not About Me, It’s About God                                               By Jeremy Thomas Holt       It’s not about me, it’s about a God. It’s not about you, it’s about God. It took me along time to learn this lesson. All I ever did was think about myself. I was always asking things like “why me”, “why does this always happen to me”, what will I do, when Will I do it, how will I do it, where will I do it, how Will I do it, and who will I do it with or for?, “how can I fix this?” “What...

The War Of The Light And Darkness By Jeremy Thomas Holt The light and darkness collide in war. A War that’s been raging since the beginning of time. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of stories about the light and darkness or good versus evil. It’s always a constant tug of war in your life with light and the darkness. The darkness (Satan a.ka. The devil) is powerful and strong, stronger than you might think he/it is. The darkness can take whatever you might be going through and use it against you. It can take your feelings for someone, your emotions, and your weaknesses and twist them all up together and then drop them on you like bomb and make your life miserable. The darkness can take over everything, your feelings, your emotions, and your weaknesses and cause you do things and say things you’d never normally say or do. The darkness will pull at you, laugh at you, torture you and It can be so unbearable, uncomfortable, and uncontrollable that you hit a br...

I Choose To Trust By Jeremy Thomas Holt I Choose To Trust, to trust In God my savior. Are you having trouble with trusting in God and trusting in others in your life then Let me tell you the story of why I Choose To Trust In God and maybe it might help you understand better how to trust God and others. I may have a million questions and my doubt may be obvious. I may have times where I don’t understand why certain things happen in life or why things I want don’t happen in life. My Faith in You gets tested greatly all the time and sometimes I feel like I have lost my way. Sometimes I don’t know what to do or where to go. It would always feel like I’m all alone. But you showed me recently that You have always been there. You came to me as I sat in my hot bath and You spoke to me and You said to me “Jeremy you are not alone, I am Here with You.” The vision You gave me of me sitting on boat in the blue ocean water with a pretty sunset in the sky felt to me as i...

A True Connection with God ( a story about why I write)                      By Jeremy Thomas Holt      Throughout my years in homeschool I always hated writing. Mainly because I had to write 5 book reports and so many essays for my tests each year. I never enjoyed writing until about 2 years after I started working retail. There was girl I worked with who was a sweetheart and a good friend. She used to joke around and tell people I wrote her poems and stuff. So I decided to write her one for real and thus came my first poem called “He Has Created You.” After that I fell in love with writing but not just because I discovered I could poems and short stories and I enjoy doing it. But because I finally found my way of personally and truly connecting with God. When I’m writing, whether it’s with pen and paper or I’m typing on my iPad/iPhone or computer, ev...

All Of My Dwelling Days by Jeremy Thomas Holt All of my dwelling days I still think about you Many days have come and gone leaving us in ruins. It felt so real in my heart like it was meant to be I hoped that you would feel the same way about me But I never thought I’d be told that you were not interested Everything seemed to come crashing down around me All my dreams and all my hopes were gone Before I could do anything to make things right It was over Now we can’t even look at each other in the same way we used to I feel that we are both to embarrassed and frustrated with each other to say anything I have been trying to figure out what I can do to make things right But now I realize I have done all I know I can do and that I can only pray for you Because only God can restore the friendship we had and that I took for granted I felt in my heart that It’s time to lose the hate and bring back in the love The love that lead us to our friendship in the begi...
