The German-inspired poetry style of Elfchen (or Elevenie) contains five lines of poetic verse, usually without the use of rhyming verses.  A total of 11 words are used with a sequence of one, two, three, and four words before ending with a single word in the final verse.

Holy Spirit tracks every life

Jesus leaves us with eternal peace

Unlike anything else done by man

Praying to our Lord, life’s centerpiece

 

Peace emerges with fullness and joy

Holy blessing from Christ, filled with love

Feeling gladness and newness in life

God’s gift of Grace offered from above

 

Rejoicing in our Holy Father

Feeling the gentleness from His hand

Bringing daily worries to the Lord

Guarding hearts and minds, from where He stands

 

Salvation comes through our Savior

Encourage each sister and brother

Reaching to us, God’s peace never ends

Heart, mind, soul—transformed like none other

 

Complete and perfect in His goodness

Yesterday, today, and forever

Jesus will always love each of us

His glory brings peace, best gift ever

From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley:  To be a peacemaker is to reflect the image of our heavenly Father–using our breath, energy, and creativity to sow peace wherever the Spirit takes us.

I committed my life to Christ, and that faith has been most important to me ever since.

I pray every night, sometimes long prayers about a lot of things and a lot of people, but I don’t talk about it or brag about it because that’s between God and me, and I’m no better than anybody else in God’s sight.

When you persevere through a trial, God gives you a special measure of insight.  You become the recipient of the favor of God as He gives to you, and those who suffer with you, something that would not be learned otherwise.

From Psalm 55:18:  “He will redeem me unharmed from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.”

Dedicating time to knowing and experiencing God is a critical step toward a satisfying walk with Him.

From Psalm 63:1-2:  “O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.  So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.”

Bless the Lord’s name forever

Sing praises for Holy deeds

His greatness stands infinite

Loving us like tender reeds

 

Witness our Lord’s mighty acts

Share with each generation

His greatness lauds His goodness

Building our firm foundation

 

Recall love works from His hands

Fueled by Grace’s steadfast love

His greatness flows with mercy

Protecting us from above

 

Call on the Father this day

Pray to Him on humble knees

His greatness lighting the way

Watching over all He sees

We are not saved to be “channels only,” but to be sons and daughters of God.  We are not turned into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part of ourselves.

From 2 Timothy 4:2:  “Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.”

Great leaders understand that the right attitude will set the right atmosphere, which enables the right response from others.

Seeking abundant life

Never arrives from man

All will thirst for much more

Accept God’s Holy plan

 

Our Lord’s invitation

Never hidden from us

Just step forward today

Follow God, always a plus

 

Tasting His bread of life

Never bitter to eat

Peace arrives with each day

Listen for its steady beat

 

Our Father’s always near

Never absent with love

Come, come worship the Lord

Read His Word, from above

 

Finding life’s one true joy

Never alone with Him

Invitation welcomed

Filling us to the brim
