Love for God allows a person to appreciate everything around us, including our existence and the supernatural phenomena that our Almighty Father provides us to see the miracles of day.

Head-to-Heart Link
We always hear people say we should follow our hearts, but some also say to listen to our heads. Poetry for God helps build a link between the two powerful parts of our body – the head and the heart. Inspiration we can get from the poems can help us think and feel more.
Fuel to Passion
Poetry for God provides inspiration to the readers and to the writers. This type of poetry is fueled by passion, which also makes it a fuel to passion itself. When a passionate writer works magic on the structure and emotions in the poem, the readers can get what the writer is talking about. With this, the writer creates a connection that helps convey the Word of God through the creative way of making compelling poetry.
Poetry helps us bring more color and images to our imagination. With this, our passion helps us see a better direction to take on with our lives. Moreover, delving deep into poetry helps us understand ourselves more and our capabilities. Furthermore, the Bible always states that we should make use of our talents to help us move forward.

Deeper Understanding of Deep Texts
The Bible uses different interpretations of deep texts from the original versions of its books. Most of the texts in the Bible use metaphors, idioms, and analogy, which could confuse or challenge the readers to find the truth of the mysteries. Poetry allows you to understand the deep meanings of the scriptures. When you have the skills of a poet, you should have ideas on how to analyze the texts. Some stories in the Bible have hidden meanings behind their characters, artifacts, and phenomena.
Mental Well-Being
Writing poetry can help a passionate writer have control over mental well-being. Poetry has its freeing effects on people, letting them find freedom from the burden and stress that bother them.
Saying a Prayer
You can use poetry to express a prayer. Some prayers that we recite are in their poetic form, helping us memorize and analyze the different parts of devotion. With this, you can have the freedom to explore how you structure a prayer and how you can still connect with God using your poetic knowledge and passion.
Faith Reflections
Poetry frees you from stress and doubt tagging along in your life journey. As a writer, you can use poetry to reflect your faith in God. Since God’s miracles have their own mysteries enveloping us, we can find ourselves strengthening our faith as we reflect on our experiences. As a poet, we can use our poetic flow to express testimonies that God is with us all the time.
