Edgar A. Guest definitely has some of the most inspirational poems written~

One of my favorite poets, I have a "Heap O' Living" and have valued this collection for years

It's easy to be brave when the fight is going your way. Just as it's easy to have Faith in God when everything is good. It only counts when the fight is at its darkest.

"The test of man is how much he will suffer for a cause he knows to be right" - Damn straight "Defeat is the proof of your grit" - Correct. Life is 90% suffering, 10% success. When you embrace growth your true self will emerge.

Fight the good fight of faith in Christ.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yet people put Jesus Christ before God...

@@EkoJr1337 God Almighty speaking through Moses his servant after giving the commands said in Deuteronomy 18 18-19 "I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him.I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf." Jesus Christ is the prophet and to ignore his messages is to remain disconnected from God without forgiveness.

@@mysticalglowtv1796 You know Moses grew horns, right? Now, what has horns? Is it God? Nope. Is it angels? Hmm, no horns there. Such a hard question to figure out what has horns. OH YEA...it's devils who have horns. Oh boy, that really went over our heads, didn't it? Regarding Jesus though, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?" Psalms 22:1. As you said, he's just a prophet at best and isn't God in the flesh. Yet, people put Jesus Christ before God, and a lot have gone as far as to call Jesus a King...essentially the Monarch's ticket back in, and many will blindly (based on good faith) follow by handing oneself over to something. Ironically, the video is about grit and proof of worth. Interestingly, it's the (western) religion itself that turned me away from it, and boiled down to human programming. It's truth that takes precedence in God, not love, not faith, not Jesus Christ, but truth, as well as judgement depending on your view. Maybe if you gave it a chance, you would see the world you were already promised.

Discovered Edgar Albert Guest today and just wow, what an amazing poet. Very very powerful!

I recited this to my family and friends when I rung the bell and finished my battle with leukemia. I was diagnosed at 19 and was supposed to die. But I faced my challenge with a strong mind and faith, and surmounted my opponent despite all odds. Every obstacle life throws at you is a challenge from god. All of your misfortunes and sufferings are a just a challenge. God is asking you, in those hard times, to prove yourself to be worthy of the challenge and to be worthy of the suffering. To be proof that no matter what kindness, gratitude, discipline, and faith can exist regardless of the circumstances. That no matter what, our mind and our free will remains our own. If you can remember this, and live in this way during hard times, you will realize that your suffering is a gift, and not only that, the strength of your character will inspire everyone around you. So even if that “hard time” is sure to end in death, you will meet that end having fulfilled gods wish and will have left a positive ripple effect on earth that will go on forever.. Never give up.

Very impressive!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Thank you so so much. I was looking for something like this since last year.

1:03 - For a cause which he knows to be right.

So much truth is contained in this poem. Truly, courage in difficult situations reveals a person's true character.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world’s life; but with Allah is the best of the goals (to return to).” (The Family Of Ìmrán (Al-Ìmrán),14)

That is breath you feel of me Disbelief, hopelessness. That endearing Dearness of the heir Your mother had given you You blame me Not your feathers I bear the yoke Farmaaz.

Can you also do You and Can't by the same author. :)

My fellow Americans: If you are retired or can work online, please move to a state or country, that you can afford. Everything is too dangerous and expensive, so use your brain and move.
