I'm Pressing On...I'm In His Hands

Become a Fan

...still journeying...

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

Joyce, this is a beautiful affirmation of your faith and trust in God. You show us the human side of yourself by stating the mistakes you've made, and you show us your reverence to God in knowing he will be there to guide and help you. Well done... Blessings to you...

Oh Precious Joyce! This is JUST what I needed and the first poem of the day for me. It was LITERALLY a God send. You know, I have fallen, got back up, repented, and tried again. Usually an optimistic person full of faith but not the case lately. I needed this spiritual but loving spanking. :) You have blessed me friend. If I may, I'd like to print this on and put on my fridge so that I see it everyday. You have a blessed day in our Great Lord. Wow, tears are falling, cleansing tears. God is so good no matter how I fail him. Love to you, Janet xx

Beautiful Words Joyce... I especially like this: "I'll never put a 'righteous' crown on my head 'cause...I know... it doesn't belong there" so very many people suffer from entitlements...we are all perfect souls in an imperfect world full of sin's abysmally unrelenting temptations...the work of the enemy offering that false crown...
