Note from the Poet

Dear Reader,

I wanted to share something quiet and true with you: every cell in me delights in Jesus Christ. It is the simplest thing I know, and it fills me completely. I hope it meets you gently.

With warmth,

The Poem

Psalm 45:1

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Poem

Every cell in me

delights in Jesus Christ,

my Lord and Saviour.

This is why I write

with such passion.

I walk by faith,

not by sight.

A Note from the Poet

Dear Reader,

This poem was written for every saint who still hears the old accusations. In a time when spiritual warfare is on the rise, that ancient liar—who knows his time is short—still loves to condemn the redeemed. Yet his charges fall empty. This is not a defense of self, but a declaration of what Christ has already finished. The shield is not something we forge; it is the unbreakable word spoken over us: just as if the soul never sinned. May it meet you in the thick of the battle and leave you standing in the triumph that belongs to Him alone—unashamed, uncondemned, and victorious.

In Christ,

The Poet

Romans 8:31–39

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 1:6

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Romans 4:7–8

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Revelation 12:10–11

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…

Zechariah 3:1–4

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan… Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments… And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Ephesians 6:16

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Colossians 2:13–14

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.

When conscience rises with its ancient claim

and every past offense is named again,

Christ stands between the sinner and the shame

and answers with a word that ends the pain:

Just as if the soul never sinned.

This is the Christian’s shield of hope and grace,

not self-made strength nor merit of its own;

the blood that satisfied the throne of space

has made the guilty fully known as clean,

just as if the soul never sinned.

No record of the fall remains to weigh

the one who hides within the Risen One;

the debt is paid, the guilt is borne away,

and righteousness is counted as their own—

just as if the soul never sinned.

This is the Christian’s triumph and victory,

not struggle won by effort, will, or fame;

it rests upon the cross upon the hill

and on the empty tomb that speaks the Name

that says: just as if the soul never sinned.

So let the soul walk forward unafraid,

clothed in a righteousness that is not its own;

the finished work of Christ has all been paid,

and every morning still the promise is shown:

just as if the soul never sinned.

**To God be the glory always and only.

The Indestructible Culture of Christ: From Satan’s Lying, Killing, And Destructive Atrocities to the Bowing of Every Knee To Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords by Debbie Harris

A note from the poet

Dear Reader,
I wrote these lines because the beauty of Christ within a soul cannot be burned, erased, or slaughtered out of existence. The world may destroy landmarks and silence voices, yet the true culture of the follower of Jesus is Christ Himself living unashamed in the heart. That is what no power can take. In the end He remains Victor, and every knee will bow.

— the poet

Philippians 2:10-11
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 19:16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

They set the ancient churches to the flame,
The marble altars blackened, stained-glass broken,
Beautiful landmarks turned to smoke and name
Erased from stone that once had simply spoken.

They slaughter Christians in the open street,
In fields at dusk, in rooms where children sleep,
While cameras turn and voices still repeat
That every cry is somehow incomplete.

Wherever lying multiplies, and blood
Is spilled to silence what the heart still knows,
Satan himself is author of the flood—
The murderer who never kept his oath.

Yet deeper than the hand that strikes or steals,
Deeper than every doctrine that would claim
The right to own the breath a person feels,
There stands a beauty fire cannot name.

They think they can erase the culture whole,
Yet for the true disciple culture is
Christ living, unashamed, within the soul—
The life no outer power can erase.

Christ living in the heart is not a flag,
Not stone, not vote, not argument to win.
It is the light that does not need a stage,
The masterpiece the world cannot begin.

No edict burns it. No campaign unmakes
The quiet work already finished there.
The kingdom is not built of what it takes;
It is the gift that cannot be unmade.

So let the outer city fall or stand;
Let every earthly throne be raised or razed.
The soul that holds the Maker in its hand
Keeps what no power on earth has ever raised.

Rejoice, for Christ is Victor over all;
At last every knee will bow before His feet
And every tongue confess He reigns alone—
King of kings and Lord of lords forever.

**To God be the glory always and only.

Sonnet On Psalm 149:4-5 by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

I wrote these lines one quiet evening after sitting with Psalm 149:4–5. The words about the Lord taking pleasure in His people and beautifying the meek with salvation kept turning over in my mind, and I found myself wanting to see them more clearly in the light of Christ. What began as a simple meditation grew into this sonnet—an attempt to carry those ancient promises into the finished work of the cross and the empty tomb. I hope it feels less like a finished piece and more like an open door back into the psalm itself. If it helps you linger there a little longer, then it has done what I hoped it might.

Warmly,

-the poet

Psalm 149:4–5

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Let the faithful rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.

Christ takes His pleasure in a people bought
and stoops to clothe the meek with His own blood—
the quiet ones the world has counted naught,
He robes in glory from the empty wood.
The cross that broke the strength of every pride
becomes the loom on which He weaves their light;
the hands once pierced now open, open wide,
and set a crown upon the meek by right.

Then let the saints be joyful in that height
where Christ, the risen King, has made them stand;
let every breath become a song of light,
the praise that rises from His conquering hand.
The meek who wait still wear the victor’s crown,
and praise the Lamb, their Maker and their Friend.

**To God be the glory always and only.

The Unending Bouquet: The Holy Word Blooming in the Heart by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

This poem began as a single line—a picture of the holy, inerrant Word of God living in the heart like a bouquet of roses that refuses to stop blooming. As I sat with the image, it asked for more room: for the seed that takes root, the light that shines, the bread that satisfies, the living Word that cuts and heals, and the quiet certainty that it never returns void.

What you hold is that unfolding. May the same Word that keeps opening in these lines keep opening in you—petal by petal, over and over, life-giving and victorious.

— The Poet

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Isaiah 55:11

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalm 119:11

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Luke 8:11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Ephesians 6:17

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 Peter 1:23

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

**To God be the glory always and only.

In the quiet garden of the heart

the holy, inerrant Word of God

—living and active, sharper than any sword—

rises victorious and life-giving.

It is the seed that falls and takes root,

the true light that shines in darkness,

the bread that satisfies the soul’s deepest hunger.

Like a bouquet of roses unfolding

petal by luminous petal,

each opening cuts and heals,

discerns the thoughts and intentions within,

their fragrance the very breath of the Spirit,

their color the glory of Christ made known.

Transforming all they touch,

renewing the mind,

guarding the heart,

they bloom

over and over

and over again—

the eternal Word

dwelling richly,

never returning void.

Built Up by Father, Son, and Spirit: Are We Encouragers Who Speak the Truth in Love? by Debbie Harris

A Note from the Poet

Dear Reader,

We live in a world full of critics, slanderers, and gossips—people quick to tear down, slow to build up, and often more interested in finding fault than in offering grace. In such a climate, it is easy to become cautious, silent, or even cynical. Yet the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is none of these things. He is an encourager. He builds up. He speaks truth, but He speaks it in love.

This poem is a simple reminder and a gentle question. If the Triune God encourages us, are we becoming the kind of people who encourage others—with truth that does not flatter, and with love that does not wound carelessly? The world already has enough voices that tear down. It needs more who will build up.

May these lines help you hear His encouragement afresh, and then pass it on.

With hope,


The Poet

Analysis of the Poem’s Format

The poem is written in heroic couplets: pairs of rhyming lines in iambic pentameter (roughly ten syllables per line with a da-DUM rhythm). This is a classical English form long used for serious reflection, argument, and moral or spiritual teaching.

The couplet structure gives the poem a steady, measured pace. Each pair of lines can complete a thought, while the rhyme quietly reinforces the ideas. The form is formal enough to carry theological weight, yet clear and readable. The final unrhymed question breaks the pattern slightly, leaving the reader with an open, personal challenge rather than a closed conclusion.

2 Corinthians 1:3–4
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.

Ephesians 4:15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Our Triune God builds up His people still,
from life within, according to His will.
Encouragement is not a duty done,
but who He is — the Father, Spirit, Son.

The Father speaks and worlds begin to be;
He names the Son Beloved from eternity.
The same word rests on us with steady grace:
“Beloved child, held fast in My embrace.”
He finishes the work His hands began
and carries all His children as a Man.

The Son walks down the road of human pain,
sits with the weary, speaks and calms the strain.
He touches outcasts, feeds the hungry weak,
and on the cross He bears the load we seek.
He rises, and His promise still is true:
“I am with you — come, follow what I do.”

The Spirit comes, the Comforter and Friend,
to strengthen hearts and make the broken mend.
He gives the words when ours have failed and died,
and groans with us where language cannot guide.
Through every gift the Body grows in love,
until it reaches fullness from above.

And then the question rises, calm and clear:
Are we encouragers who draw souls near?
Do we speak belonging where rejection fell?
Do we walk toward the lonely, lost, and ill?
Do we remain beside them, firm and true,
as He has stayed and been a Friend to you?

We will not trade the truth of Scripture’s word
for empty praise or flattery preferred.
True encouragement will speak the Word in full,
both what corrects and what can make us whole.

The God of love does more than merely call;
He joins us to His work and gives us all.
He builds us up that we may build in turn,
so others rise and of His kindness learn.

The question stands, both merciful and true:
Are we encouragers who speak the truth in love like our Triune God?

Sparkling Diamond of the Promise by Debbie Harris

Introductory Note

These two poems share a single image drawn from Philippians 4:19. The shorter piece presents the promise itself as a sparkling diamond that continually draws God’s royal heirs into praise. The sonnet develops the same promise by seeing Christ as the diamond—the One in whom the riches dwell—and follows the light that moves from Him to meet every need, whether the soul is soaring or simply waiting. Together they offer the image first in its simplest form and then in fuller measure.

A Note from the Poet

Dear Reader,

This short poem holds to a single image: the promise of God meeting every need from the riches of Jesus is a sparkling diamond that does not cease to draw His royal heirs into victorious praise. It is offered as a brief reminder of that sure and shining gift.

The Poet

Short analysis of form

The poem is free verse, arranged in seven short lines that form a single continuous sentence. There is no fixed meter or rhyme scheme. The line breaks isolate each element of the metaphor (the promise, the need, the riches, the diamond, the unceasing action, the heirs, the praise), giving the image a measured, deliberate pace while preserving the unity of the original statement. Its strength lies in compression rather than formal development.

Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

The promise of God

meeting every need

from the riches of Jesus

is a sparkling diamond

that never stops

drawing His royal heirs

into victorious praise.

**To God be the glory always and only.

Christ the Diamond, Supplying Every Need in Everlasting Light by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

This sonnet began as a single sentence about the promise that God meets every need according to His riches in Christ. As the image developed, the diamond became Jesus Himself—the One in whom those riches dwell and from whom they are given. The light that moves through Him is not merely brightness; it is the steady radiance that reaches both the soaring soul and the waiting one, supplying what is lacking and drawing forth praise. May the words point you to Him.

The Poet

Brief analysis of form

The poem is a Shakespearean sonnet: 14 lines of iambic pentameter arranged as three quatrains and a final couplet, with the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.

• The first quatrain presents Christ as the diamond who supplies every need according to His riches.

• The second quatrain follows the movement of His light.

• The third quatrain turns to the royal heirs and the answering of their needs.

• The closing couplet gathers the response into victorious praise returned to Him.

The volta occurs between the octave and sestet (after line 8), shifting from the nature of the diamond to the experience of the heirs. The form gives the single image room to develop while still ending with the concentrated affirmation typical of the Shakespearean couplet.

Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Jesus Himself, the diamond of God’s glory,

supplies each need according to His riches,

cut so the radiance that dwells in Him

must traverse every facet of His graces.

It moves within the clarity of His will,

neither diminished nor by darkness stayed;

each waiting soul receives and rests until

it knows the brightness no night can invade.

The royal heirs who bear His covenant

are crowned with all they lacked and never earned;

what every need had hidden from their sight

is answered now in majesty complete.

Victorious praise ascends, unceasing, free,

and fills the courts of Him whose riches be

the everlasting light of victory.

Dear Reader,

What you hold is not offered as something of my own making. The gifts I have are only those Jesus Christ our Lord has first given, and I remain the clay in the hands of the Potter. All that I am belongs to Him. If any word here is true or of use, it is because He shaped it; take what is helpful and return the rest to the One who gave it.

-the poet

I have no gifts
but those You give.
No word, no work, no breath
apart from what
Jesus Christ our Lord
has first imparted.

I am the clay.
You are the potter.

Shape what You will.
All that I am
is already Yours.

When Christless, Satanic, Demonic Ideologies Lie, Kill, and Destroy: Christ Is the Beauty That Cannot Be Lost by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

I wrote these lines while watching the shops and historic landmarks burn in Paris, while the streets were filled with flames and violence, and while a radical Christless ideology once again tried to lie, kill, and destroy—just as it always has, and just as Satan has from the beginning.

These times remind me of the verse:

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!


— 2 Timothy 3:1–5 (NKJV)

What is destroyed can be rebuilt. What is stolen can be mourned. But Jesus Christ is a beauty that cannot be taken away, a light that remains when the city is shaken, the one who outlasts every fall.

It is a political statement because I believe in taking a stand—not in the toxic empathy that is destroying Europe. I am tired of the woke, progressive, liberal, Marxist, communist ideologies, of Islam, and of the ABCs of immorality that this world is demonically promoting. We must take a stand against all forms of evil and immorality. This world is calling good evil and evil good. We must take a stand for our Savior Jesus Christ. In every end time—whether the one we are living or any other—Christ is still the beauty that cannot be lost.

— The Poet

No matter what is destroyed
in these end times—
the shops and historic landmarks
where the fires still climb—

Jesus Christ is a beauty
that cannot be taken,
a light that remains
when the city is shaken.

The stones may blacken,
the windows may break,
the streets may be emptied
by all that they take.

When flames and violence rise
and a radical Christless ideology
tries to seize the prize—

Christ is the beauty
that outlasts the fall—
the one who remains
when they try to take it all.

What they destroy
was never the source.
What they erase
was never the force.
Christ is the beauty
that cannot be lost.
