What Does God Expect ?

Remembrance day . Lest We Forget Luke




WHAT DOES GOD EXPECT ?

 

Many times on life’s road

With all it’s twists and turns

Struggling with a heavy load

With aching heart that yearns .

 

Wondering what does God expect ?

We try so hard to do what’s right

It seems our prayers He does reject

While we strive with all our might .

 

Does He listen to us at all ?

Does He ever hear our call ?

Why do we have to stand so tall ?

Will He catch us when we fall ?

 

Is it wrong when we object ?

What if we should fail the test ?

Just what does God expect ?

A simple answer . Your very best !

 

You never fail when you do your best .

Our loving God expects no more .

In His eyes you’ve passed the test 

And He will greet you at Heaven’s door .

 

By Luke Nov 11th 2007

Dedicated to all our war vets , those who have fallen and those who are serving today . God Bless You . Luke

Great tribute to our war vets, many come home wounded but have felt it was their duty to serve their country and they were put in the hands of God their savior. Like this one **********

Reviewed by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner 11/12/2007
Thank you, Luke. I am reminded of Christ's example: "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend." That is our military, and more. God bless them, every one, protect them, Lord.

Beautifully penned rememberance. As a Veteran myself, the daughter of/sister of/cousin of/niece of Veterans, I salute YOU.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
