The poems by Sheri Williams were started by the thought of two verses:

"This is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another" (I John 3:11)

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (I John 4:8)
 

LIVE IN GOD'S LOVE
by Sheri Williams (1998)

It is sometimes hard to show
The love that we should
In this hard world that it has become.
But God's love never fades
Or changes from day to day;
It only grows stronger
As we follow His lead and His way.
A verse can help us to walk in the light
If only we will study and apply them right.
God's words are clear and plain to see,
And ready and waiting for you and for me.
Pick up your Bible and read it today.
Allow God to show you what is His way.
You'll be glad that you did, you see,
For application of His word,
Is the only way to true peace.

I BELIEVE
by Sheri Williams (1998)

Since the day that I asked Jesus into my heart,
So many things changed right from the start.
The way that I felt about little things
To the way I saw people and all living beings.
You were not simply just you to me,
And the grass and the trees had a stronger meaning.
The sun seemed to shine brighter than ever before
And waves seemed to be more blue upon the sandy shores.
Winds that blew were miraculous,
And stars that shone were spectacular.
Smiles were stronger and came from my heart,
And all because of Jesus,
Did my dreadful feelings part.
The laughter of children made me gleam,
Another miracle of our Father, the King.
I appreciated life more and more,
And get excited to think about walking through Heaven's door.
If only everyone, from every land,
Could have this peace in walking with Jesus, hand in hand.
I pray to the Father, today and for all of my life,
That each lost soul will see the answer to their strife.
There is only One who can take away the pain,
Embrace you with love and bring happiness again.
It's Jesus, I know,
Because I have been there;
You want to say yes to Him,
But still try to beware.
Open your heart, and open your mind,
Pick up your Bible, this verse to find:
For God so loved this world, John 3:16,
That He gave Jesus, His Son, for you and for me.
That by His gift, we should not die,
But live forever,
With Him on High.
Get on your knees and ask Him today,
To save you, to touch you, to show you the way.

WHY GOD MADE FRIENDS
by Sheri Williams (1998)

It's no fun to sit alone
On the beautiful green hills
That our God made
For us to enjoy.
Seeing our sadness
As we look around
Thinking about our life
God decided to make a friend
With whom we can share good times.
Today as I sit on this green hill
And think about my future...
I see you climbing to greet me.
Now I know why God made friends.
