MY FIRST POEM OF 2025,
LET'S GET IT, LET'S GO!!!!!
Your NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS IS TO:

"TAKE HEED TO THESE WORDS, and
SO WILL I!!!"



STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF,
YOU'LL be surprised at
what you COULD DO!!

There's a PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE,
HE DIDN'T BRING YOU THIS FAR
TO LEAVE YOU,
You're going through SOME STRUGGLES
HE WILL DEFINITELY see you THROUGH,
You Also have TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS,
HE'LL know just what to DO

Don't worry about the whereabouts,
who, what, where and when,
You are on the winning team,
You have Jesus Christ within.

Don't be like Doubting Thomas,
You only have to Believe,
Believe that you can do this, and
His blessings you will receive.

JESUS knows your struggles and
  he also knows your fears,
He also knows your downfalls,
Just know that he is Near

When you feel like being doubtful
Just turn that thought on around,
Put in your mind that you got this,
There's no time to bring yourself down

So, my advice is for you to STOP DOUBTING,
IN YOUR HEART, just know,
THAT YOU COULD,
You need TO GET UP, and
PUT IN THE WORK,
BELIEVE THAT IT WILL, AND YOU WOULD!!!
