I never have
and
I never will
present myself...at any given time
as being...'sinless' or 'holy'
I'll never put a 'righteous' crown on my head
'cause...I know...
it doesn't belong there
While plundering through these days
that God is merciful enough
to have blessed me with...
I've fallen, gotten back up
prayed for forgiveness and proceeded
But I am aware that...
it is nothing but the Love of Jesus
which takes me through...His Love alone...
enables me to survive...on this journey
Never once...did I ever imagine
the 'fierceness' of the difficulties
I've encountered and...probably...will encounter
but I have this blessed assurance...
I have not...and will not...encounter them...alone
I, like any other human being, would love
to live a troubled free life...but...such idealistic thoughts
are only a momentary reprieve...from reality
So then...
be my days...good or bad
whether I am...
happy or sad
if there is sunshine or rain...
laughter or disdain
whatever...
I'm Pressing on...I'm In His Hands
Ps 95:6-7
