We are all God's poetry. I hope this poem encourages you all to see that we can all be creative since we are all created by the Creator. Since we are made in God's image we also have the capacity to create works of art, music, culture, writing, etc. and use it to point back to Him! PS my friend Jenny who sang at the end just released a full studio version of the song! Can check it out here: jennysnipstead.bandcamp.com!
Also, HUGE thanks to my friends below!

"He picked up his eternal paint brush dipped it in his glory, placed us in his story...." Wow. 💜💜✝️🙏🏻
"We can stop saying we're filthy. Because all that is is pride clothed in false humility". Epic line. So true. Sometimes we think we are honoring God by acknowledging our own wretchedness. I've definitely been there.
I am 13 all my friends were non Christians and I told them how much God loved them they told me I was a loser I said god help me to get them to believe in you and the next day God sent me this video I saw it and I stared to cry cuz it was truly true I showed my freinds this Video and they started to tear up I was so happy to see them understand that God is working in them and then I invited them to my church and they said yes and they showed up and we prayed for them and now they live in God. GOD LOVES ALL 🙏🏻💪☝🏽️ now do me the favor and share this video wait no do it for GOD i love all :)
amen .
friend, I love what you are doing in your community!!! YOU ARE DOING GODS GOOD WORK AND IM SO PROUD!! keep going dude, I'm so inspired. keep on bro. never let the passion stop.
Did god like text you the url to your phone, cause all that shit sounds like you made up, if your friends started tearing up from this vid it would of been from laughter cause how gay you sounded
CS:GO Scribbles what's the point of being mean?:)

God is the Greatest artist Of All Time
Amen bro!! All Glory to God in Jesus name!!
Jeff Bethke is so good. You should look at his new video it's so good. ☺
Ileana 787 he ight..
Ileana 787 Which one?
Andrew Toering his new spoken word poem video
You have no idea how much this hit me. you literally saved my life today. Hearing all this I make the biggest decision to not hurt myself in any way. You all saved my life and I wanna thankyou for creating this video. God is a wonderful creator and He can do amazing things. God Bless you all and thankyou
That's so great! He is the truth! Much love and God bless!!!
Awe, my sister in Christ. Please don't!! You, me, & all the fam. We are Fearfully & Wonderfully made in HIS image!! I call you blessed & Highly Favored. I call you the Head & not the tail! You have more inside of you than what you can believe. You are Stronger than you give yourself credit for!! Holy Spirit said, "The LORD doesn't look at us the same way we look at ourselves nor the way others see us". If we could only see what GOD put inside us. Woah!! If only we could see the ending while we're already deep into It, Life!! We can! HE said "It Was Finished", We won, they Lost, we the winning team, cause HE paid that Cost!! I plead the Blood of Yeshua Hamashiach of Nazareth over you. In the Holy, Mighty, and Matchless name, YHVH/YahWeh/ADONAI Elohim/or just GOD. Amen/Shalom Hey look I'm a part of Me Too! I am part of the 2nd Me Too. All the Glory be to HIM!!
I'm not even Christian, but if all preachers and religious teachers were like this, we'd already be in Heaven.
PsychosisFire hey bro Jesus loves u
Hey bud, I just want to encourage you by saying that this is pretty much the message of the vast majority of preachers and pastors. The big ones that gain secular attention are 90% of the time painted in a negative light and are done so intentionally. This is the gospel man.
PsychosisFire Amen
He's real and He lives.
Just sayin Christianity is relationship with Jesus/God nor religion
This is seriously my favorite spoken word piece ever
You should check out George The Poet
I completely agree. I have a handful I watch somewhat regularly but this has got to be my #1. It is all the more important when we consider that if we are to love (value) others it is much better done when we see our own value.
I keep coming back to this it really makes so much sense!
He's still correct. I always knew this. Humans were never permitted to try to change me. I am my Own woman. My own lady. I love me! No human has destroyed nor created anything that is good about me. I am a girl. He never excluded me. Jews did. My parents didn't. He didn't. Jews are the only filthy ones.
" I'll rather live my life believing God exist and die to find that he doesn't ..than living my life believing that God does not and finding that he does"
I will always BELIEVE!
Amen
Cameron Stuurman beautiful!
Cameron Stuurman Amen ;)
exactly what i said.
Cameron Stuurman Yup. Pascal's Wager.
I see so many negative people posting. They hate God. But they obviously have never felt Him, never heard Him speak. He is a literal Father! My Father! And yours! So please, understand if you are running away, avoiding anything to do with Him. He CANNOT Help you. You have to WANT it.
Because I KNOW HE IS REAL. AND I KNOW HE LOVES YOU.
I remember being in middle School watching these now I'm an adult and they're still just as relevant and I miss these
"He will get glory out of you whether you like it or not. Because even temple ruins point to an architect even if the temple is shot." Oh my Lord that is profound! :)
*wipes away tears* All Glory to the One True God. Thank you Jesus!
watched this almost a decade ago for the first time. Preaching on this topic this morning so I looked it up again. SO GOOD even 8 years later! thanks for your ministry!
I am a Christian but I every day I faced rejection, I was depressed, I felt physically unwanted and alone, and to hear something like this from God, out of the blue, is like putting a band aid on a fresh wound. It hits you where it hurts the most but it's exactly what I needed ^^ Thank you
It’s been 9years and this still hits ❤
For all who are discouraged by these negative comments, here is a verse I would like to share with you. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NIV). I hope it encourages you as much as it did me :) .
This verse is referring to Joshua specifically. In this use, it has been taken out of context.
I've been healed right this very moment! Thank you Jesus for this beautiful message in this video!!!
When God is the center of your life, you will never loose it. Science and reason was created by God so we could think for ourselves, but it has now turned from truths to theories which only speak of millions of possibilities. I know what you're thinking, religion is just another theory and there is no way of knowing your religion is the right one. But trust me when I say this: once you open your heart and give up chasing answers, you'll find them. Love and God Bless (:
Nice.
Well said!
Wife me up (-;
+Ramey Frazier LOL "once you open your heart and give up on chasing answers, you'll find them" Translation: Once you give up trying to find the truth of reality and blindly follow a misogynistic book written by primitive minds then you will *think* you have the answers.
Religion is not a theory it's Fucking made up bullshit sorry man.
God speaks to me through your spoken words brother. Thank you . I've never been touched and brought back to life in the same fashion as today. I've seen your spoken word before, and admired it ,but never touched and penetrated through the filth that is my heart and lifestyle. I've always loved and recognized Jesus via my Catholic upbringing , but today was extra special, I know Jesus is everywhere always, but tonight he guided me towards your words of wisdom, and gave me peace. At times, I feel the harder I fight and the faster I sink and lose the struggle with temptation and sin, feels like quicksand. Jesus has saved me today from total destruction, and I am forever grateful. God be with you Jeff
I'm preaching today about God's Art. So happy to have found this.
For He is great God... He is an awesome wonderful God. That's why we are wonderfully created in His awesomeness.
To those with eyes to see and ears to hear, rejoice for the blessings that our gracious God gives to the mind of this man of God. Hats off brother!
"If we only believed that we're truthfully created in his likeness, then we'd stop saying we're wretched, filthy, shameful, guilty, but instead knowing that if we trust in Jesus, we're righteous!!" Gives me goosebumps every time (:
"Your favorite artist may bend words but mine bends galaxies"
Wow !
Wow this guy is amazing. The way he processes life is a true gift.
This Poem is so inspirational I've never felt so close to God now I see the true meaning of life thank you so very much!!!
Saw this video today. A friend sent this to me. I'm actually an artist... I struggle with depression and low self esteem. I saw this and began to cry because I never saw things this way before. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for this. ♥️
What a beautiful message. God truly is the best artist of all time. God’s creation is very beautiful which is why I love spending time in nature. My top favorite outdoor activities are camping, hiking in the woods, relaxing on the beach, swimming, and playing volleyball or football outside. Jesus is my everything Praise the Lord! 🙏😎🙌✝️❤️
wow. I always say that we are masterpieces created by the best Artist that ever is and ever will be. You just reiterated what I say all the time. Amen to this video.
I listen to this whenever I have writer's block while writing a paper for class, it's incredibly inspiring and a reminder that our own creativity is not even our own, but an outflow of God's. I'm not at all artistic, but this has helped get my creativity flowing so many times! God is the ultimate creator!
Aly Daugherty God bless you girl! :)
10 Years later and i still think this is the best spoken word. GOD THE GREATEAST ARTIST OF ALL TIME..
How great and awesome is our Creator. He has given us this life and will give an even greater life in heaven
we infinite people are combined and brought down to just one STOP and thats GOD ..and believe me that STOP is just the beginning ...!!!!! AMENNNNNN.......
I'm a master piece of God. I receive that. Amen.
"and here's the truth: He's not through with making a masterpiece of you" - love this
When I watched this it changed me forever! God is awesome! Bless you all that watch this and amen to this video! 👏🏻🙏🏻👼🏻
Amen God is ever thing for the people who don't know him I'll pray for you and is always with you ever day you don't know it when you happy his there with you being happy when you sad he's there holding
This gave me chills. Amazing.
I feel like I can't give Jesus enough praise. I can live my entire life giving Him praise, and it still won't feel enough. God is amazing. Really, really amazing. I can go on, and on. Thank you Jesus
I'm a newly committed Christian and I honestly feel much better of myself after watching this x Thank you.
I have watched this probably 20 times and it never gets old. I love it so much! So powerful!!🙌🏻
Kelly Patricia same I watch it so many times and show it to a lot of people and it never gets old because God never gets old!
Your videos have inspired me ever since I saw "Sexual Healing", because I believe God led me to that video to be healed from my sexual assault. And this video is one of the best videos I've ever seen you do. It's amazing and everything you stated is so true. You are truly one of God's many tools. Keep the ministry going brother.
Praise the Lord! Probably my favorite message within your poems. Often times we have a hard time believing God is who He says He is and overflow with love to others because we won't accept His love and majestic handiwork within in, around, and through us. We forget our true identity and how beautiful and precious we are in Christ. Can't wait for your next! woo! :)
God is truly using you Jeff. Your videos inspire and help others, thank you for them!
Beautiful. Truly touched my heart. God is so amazing
It's nothing but a string of assertions. Just because it's highly emotional, that doesn't make it true.
>Appeal to emotion or argumentum ad passiones ("argument from passion") is a logical fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence.
People of all faiths and atheists get just as emotional about life and can also see the "beauty within us." The evidence is that emotion and perception of beauty evolved in us through natural selection. There is no evidence of a God.
God is awesome. :)
FarAwayDistance ayyye! You were here, too? How awesome!
Prayin for you, @zdub23
I just saw this on TBN UK and i was BLOWN AWAY... God bless you for this beautiful interpretation... We are God's poetry!!!
This poem gave me chills! Let all the glory be to the most high! God bless you. You inspire me!
Jefferson I am so proud that you are using your 'powers' for ABBA son. keep up the good work, thanks for sharing. much blessings to u & family
I love this video so much. I know almost every word and I wish it would go on and on and on. Thank you Jefferson. It is so true and so beautiful and so strong. I love all of your videos but I think this is my favorite. It makes me feel so great, inside and out. Like I am being covered and protected. I love it. Thank you.
i don't get why people tend to watch videos about others beliefs and bash them. if you didn't have just a small amount of you that believed in God, why are you here? not bashing anyone, but let us (the ones that actually have faith in God) enjoy this wonderful poem. thank you.
I Love your channel Jeff! When I watch your spoken words, I always ended up crying. But I still love them. They penetrate my soul. Thank you so much!
WOW!!! Amen!! thank you for what you do!!
it was like you were speaking just to me, and your words hit my heart and tears ran down my face. Thank you so much...
God bless you!
Your use of the talent The Lord has given you truly inspires me.
I keep watching this over and over again. Amazing
I am at such an uncertain time in my life... My faith is wavering and I'm having a hard time staying strong. Thank you so much for sharing this!! God bless.
Sarah Conley
Rest in the finished work of Jesus. You are loved!
Thanks, Mr. Risner! I greatly appreciate it.
***** Thanks. God's grace is amazing for sure.. It's just so hard when there are people around me that want to take away my faith, or at least weaken it. I know they can't, but they bring temptations, try to argue what I know to be true, and whatever method they can think of. It's tiring to stay strong.. But with God's help I'm staying a float and at least trying.
Hi Sarah!
Whenever you feel your faith is taking a hit, don't be afraid to press the reset/restore to last know settings button.
You simply do this by going to the last place of greatest confidence in GOD that you had; then you'll see GOD take you by the hands and lead you forward.
We all struggle atimes, but HIS Strength will always be made perfect in our weakness through HIS Sufficient GRACE.
Also, FATHER GOD is moderating all your battles (HE says HE won't allow you be tempted above that you are able). In essence, HE is saying that HE is always able to provide your escape, but that doesn't mean HE will take you out of the fight; rather, HE says "that you may be able to bear it".
Underneath you are HIS Everlasting Arms. irrespective of how deep the pit you are being thrown in is, please remember to rest your trust in the Truth that if you ever were to reach the bottom, you will find that FATHER GOD'S Hands of LOVE, make up the fabric of your pit's floor.
I'll remember you in my prayers dear one.
Peace continually be to you in JESUS NAME.
Amen.
I want to thank you for your powerful voice! And for inspiring me.
And Im actually memorizing this and going to recite it to my academy.So thank you!
How is it that you can make these words shoot through us like an arrow piercing our hearts and making us feel the love that God has for us. Blessings to you and keep up the work you do for the glory of God.
These words are so inpsirational! I thank God for every single one, because they mean so much. It pains me to see all of the negative comments, because I just want everyone to feel the joy I do after watching this. We all must pray for these people!!!
This always brings my spirits up 😊❤️
Praise God, Loved it, great
especially the 'we are not self sustaining', ''nothing is we do is original, we are just imitating'
we are creative because we are created in His image, so we have this desire to be creative, the very desire is His
Absolutely agree and to add onto that, I’m gonna go over an animated movie scene from Ratatouille. It seems weird but hear me out, the scene where Remy takes a strawberry and a piece of cheese, two original objects, and he bites both at the same time to create a new taste. So we take something God made and create something new based off of what God made; in other words, we are imitating our Creator like what He did when He made everything.
Love the heart for God in your spoken word. You are such a strong conduit for the Gospel -- keep doing your thing, brother --- Keeping God out Front!!!
He alone make me feel peace, love and hope .. I love you my GOD!!!!! Feeling blessed.
Touching. Praise God🙏🏼
Wow. This has got to be one of my favourite videos if all time!!!
Sarah Boniface same
I can't believe i'm seeing this in 2018 ... this is so amazing I feel blessed
The best piece of poetry I've seen here is on the TEE shirt. It says things that cannot be said in the fewest words possible. Art. The simplicity of it is its greatest strength.
God's work is beautiful...
Especially cancer- truly impressive stuff!
modvs1 what the hell is ur problem, if u dont have something good to say then dont say anything
Keown Thomas Take up your beef with your boyfriend God. He invented cancer, not me.
modvs1 take we will see who's laughing at judgement day bro
Keown Thomas I bet you're sexually aroused by the prospect of me being forever spit roasted by an infinite horde of tag teaming demons. Maybe we can Skype and I can get off watching you, getting off on the thought of me gett'n proper toasty???
Jaw. Dropped.

I always tear up every time I hear your poems/videos. You hit home with every single one of them. I loved the part of when the guy was asking if God will still accept him because he thinks he is scum. I tell people all the time just because you were raised a certain way does not mean that, that defines you. God Bless you. Good Job!!!
Thank you for putting This here into words what I a lot of times don't have words for! God is the greatest artist of all times, and out of time!! Praise Him!
this literally just made me cry. i love this thank you :)
hallelujah praise God
Man, this video really is powerful. The best part is those aren't just empty words, their words of truth. We are all His creation, and all individual, all with different paints on our canvas. It's a great thing knowing who you really are and where your identity truly is. Loving yourself is loving God, it's a big part of it. He made you and nothing about you is wrong. He doesn't make imperfections. Though the world twists our views, or tries to bring us down, our true self isn't created wrong.
the power of these words have changed my mindset on many things... thank you !!
Amen. Praise the Lord 💗
He is the author of hisstory and we are his characters as a part of his bigger story. ♡
I still come back to this. It's absolutely amazing. God is so good. He is my One Inspiration.
YES!!! I'm in the same fan club! Made in His image, I am an artist too and there is no shortage of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your gift and yielding to Him so that you can truly be whom He meant you to be because I bare witness and this video is as powerful now as it was when you recorded it live. You have blessed me as a fellow artist.
Praise God, Jefferson is truly blessed.
Thank you for doing what you do you have made it easier to me to share the gospel. Once again thank you.
Jeff's videos always covey such deep and powerful messages, its a shame not enough people can hear this.
Jeff, thank you for such a beautiful reminder of our value. It wasn't so long ago that I was very down about myself and where I fit in life. Listening to this when I needed it over the last several years has helped me greatly. Though I am still quite lost and lacking confidence, it still helps me believe I am of value somehow. Thank you again.
God is the best artist of all time you are a good man. God bless you and God can do any thing throng you.
Just like all of your work Jefferson, this was a great video!!
Love JENNY's VOICE!!
The most beautiful masterpiece He created was us. Thank you my Lord for taking time out to construct me.
this video is amazing, really spoke to me as a person and a believer.
Who’s re-watching in 2020?
"Our own creativity is just an outflow of his" bars
this is so encouraging! I am a poet myself, and this is so very truthful! Praise the Lord for giving you the ability to write beautiful poems!
this gave me the shivvers!
This is fantastic
Jeff, I have watched this video multiple times and each time I watch it I feel inspired. ❤
This has got to be one my favorite Poems by you. You are truly great and inspiring.
this is beautiful in an every-day-yet-unusual-sort-of way.
A-men
Wow ! I love people who inspire me to be a higher me!:) this was so beautiful
God loves us all and he has a plan he loves the unbelievers as much as he does believers
This is awesome... We were created by the creative!!!! Hallelujah!!!
