I will post my vision of this blog here. I will, hopefully, make a blogskin that has it's vision on it when I'm able to.
Inspirated-poems-by-him...
1. Wants to bring the culture of poems to another level.
As according to Encarta Dictionary,
po·em [pṓ əm](plural po·ems)
noun
1. poetry piece written in verse: a complete and self-contained piece of writing in verse that is set out in lines of a particular length and uses rhythm, imagery, and often rhyme to achieve its effect
2. writing with poetic effect: a piece of writing that is not in verse but that has the imaginative, rhythmic, or metaphorical qualities and the intensity usually associated with a poem
3. beautiful or delightful thing: something particularly lovely, beautiful, or delightful

However, people always stereotype poems as those on the first. Poems really do not have to rhyme! Yes, often people do use rhyming words to make poems, but it's not true to say that poems MUST rhyme! If there's an award for having the least rhyming words in a poem, Let's just say mine's gonna be in the top 100. I wanna bring poems to a new leve, where the 2nd and the 3rd meaning is also bring brought out. Suppose everyone feels that poems has to rhyme. The range poems will have will be shortened by a whole lot! Therefore, I personally believe and run with the vision seeing that poems DO NOT have to rhyme. Persecutions accepted, but I will still believe in my stand.
2. Is solely and wholely dedicating poems to God, God's people, and works that glorified God
Having held on to this blog for about 2 years now, I've written quite a sum of poems. However, there was a period when I made this blog a corrupted blog. I wrote poems not to glorify God, but instead to make God some sort of a "laughing stalk". I used it to write poems to my ex-girlfriend, which sounded very wrong because the relationship by itself was already wrong. However, writing it on a blog that's named "inspirated-poems-by-HIM" made it sound more dumb. The poems I wrote in here is here because they were inspirated, whether by instinct, intuition, urge, etc, by God, and for God.
3. Is used to glorify God
Psalms 50:15
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
Many times you were saved from something bad, and therefore it is made a "good day". These are the days when we get to shout to the Lord and praise the Lord. Of course, there are some exceptions. Eitherway, something good did happen. Therefore, for my own poems, I want to use it to glorify of God's goodness, and make it a tangible item to allow others to "taste" of God's goodness. I want to glorify God in every way I can, and I will glorify God in every way I can!
4. Impact the lives of others
I do not really know if reading this blog would impact lives, but if there's a testimony that can be shared because somebody read this blog, I'd love to hear it. I would like to have poems created in such a way that it can express and show God's love to others, to be able to stretch out to bring forth care and concern just by reading, or having people impacted in anyway just by reading my poems. Thus, this blog is hopefully going to be helpful in impacting your life.
5. Hopes to be part of the great commandment, the great commission, and the cultural mandate
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All? (The great commandment)
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Cultural mandate
- There's a lot to these, so I'm going to use this set of notes, creditted to http://www.bryanchung.sg/ to explain cultural mandate ^^"

But still, being part of the cultural mandate is important because culture itself really plays a big part of our lives. How we do things, where we hang out, what we do, why we do them, who we are doing these things with, etc. They all affect the culture in our country! It's also part of inspirated-poems-by-him's vision! Like I said, I wanna bring poems to a next level, where the culture will not be stereotyped to rhyming.
__________________________________________________________________
These are the current visions, more will probably come. They sound like it's a lot, but really it's just glorifying God
In short, my vision is to change the culture of poems, bringing it to a whole new level, glorifying God on the path that i take while changing the culture, loving people at the same time.
