THEN and NOW...WOW!

I was inspired by J. Allen Wilson’s poem, “I Remember Young” to write this poem “THEN and NOW” in which THEN was my younger years from 18-35 and NOW is my life with Christ after I was reborn again at 36 and my life up until now. God bless J. Allen Wilson for his inspiration! He is a good man!

THEN and NOW

 

THEN: I was insecure with women. I would fumble over my words and make up stuff up to say.

NOW: I have a wife who loves me for who I am. I can talk her openly; life is much better today.

 

THEN: I hung out with the in-crowd. I lived life day by day.

NOW: I am surrounded with educated people. We are never too old to learn something new every day.

 

THEN: I had few good friends. I liked fast cars and owned many useless things.

NOW: I have many Christian friends who stick with me through tough times. God bless them for the inspiration they bring.

 

THEN: I was unsure about God and relied on others for answers. I did not think of God as a friend.

NOW: I know Jesus as a  friend. The Bible is God’s Love letter that guides us to Heaven without end.

I thank God for my New Life right NOW!  Amen!

THEN: I was unsure about God and relied on others for answers. I did not think of God as a friend.

NOW: I know Jesus as a friend. The Bible is God’s Love letter that guides us to a Heaven without end.

Those last lines, i relate to so very much, what a wayward, wrong way of living that brought nothing but pain...but now I am His and He alone guides my words and actions.

I have no doubts that everyone can relate to this sharing John
I know that I can. Having someone to love us morning noon & night
is an amazing feeling. The judgmentals of the world mean nothing when
we know who we are in Christ & His amazing LOVE. God Bless You Always

Sacred is Our Holy Spirit
Love & Continued Blessing
