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

anything 'right' found in me...the glory is Gods

While plundering through these days...

which God in His mercy

has blessed me with

I've fallen, He's helped me back up,

I've prayed for forgiveness...and proceeded

However, I am aware- very much aware...

it's nothing but the Love of Jesus that

takes me through

It is His love...alone...which enables

me to survive on this journey

Never once...did I ever imagine

the 'fierceness' of the difficulties

I have encountered or, probably will...encounter

yet, I have this assurance...

I have not and will never...encounter them...by myself

I, like any other human being, would enjoy

living a trouble free life but, such idealistic thoughts

are only a momentary reprieve...from God's 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

Phil 3:13-14, Heb 12: 1-2
