Press on, my brother and sisters... press on! For the Lord Jesus, who cannot lie, keeps His Promises! Rom 8:18, 2Corn 4:17-18


Poem Artwork

If...

my Salvation, which was

wrought by my Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ on Calvary

could be taken away

then...

I would 'throw in the towel' and

want to die...not

tomorrow but right now, today!

Other than that, yes

your oppression does hurt...

I wouldn't ever

want you to feel you're

weren't doing a 'good job'...

because, you are

And I expect over and over

again it will... continue

to hurt

Sometimes...I'll weep,

other times... I'll cringe

and be filled with despair

But still, at other times...

the mockery, rejection and

plain out cruelty and unfairness

will cause a deep 'ache' within

And, of course,

there will be instances

when I'll want to just...give up

but...I won't!

Encouraged and Strengthened

by God Himself

...I will Press on!

And I will press on with joy

and gratitude, seeing how God has

allowed me to behold, through

experience...'exactly' 

what He Doesn't Want Me To

Become...You! 

 

Jhn 15:18-21 & 16:33, Rom 8:18 & 36-39,1Corn 2:9

The ending stunned me a little ...wow! I agree with all that you wrote ...people are sometimes cruel towards others,some can be mean
and harse (Ignore them)and just adhere as you are doing to those deep spiritual feelings that live in your heart.All one can do in such a case (when faced with cruelity)is be exactly as Jesus would want...that would be kind .
Joyce,you keep writing and expressing your strong deep and passionate poems ...I for one love them.
Sincerely

Kay

Uniqueness is our hallmark and the calling-card of God himself. He doesn't do blanket prescriptions and neither should we. Joyce, I can only imagine your tenderness and sensitivity and wisdom for each person who has the great fortune to be ministered to by you is divine in itself. Be blessed many times over back at'ya! :)) xx

As always, your deep faith and devotion ooze from your veins onto the page. I think most of us empathize with the kind of pain you speak of, the anguish, the despair...and also with disappointment in our fellow man. I understand where you are coming from in this write and think all will understand that we need to keep hope and faith alive. You always inspire with your hand, Joyce. God bless. ~Hugs, Elizabeth

Beautifully -- and heartrendingly -- said.

It hurts to think of you hurting, Joyce. You are so warm and encouraging and thoughtful. Look in the mirror, hon'. Your crown
is so full of stars, need a second one. (Third or fourth wouldn't
surprise.)

Bless you. . .always, and then,

Phyllis

Very good Joyce. My reasons for experiences like this may not be the same as yours, but I do understand. It is hard to press on when the hurt seems so bad and we want to give up. I just tell Jesus I walk with him, and say to myself "this too shall pass."
Peace washes over me and the situation does pass.

Love this Joyce! Such faith and courage in this poem. Had to smile- you and I must have been on the same wave length today. I wrote a poem about dispair and how to keep going. I read your poem after I wrote mine. I love this!!!Thank you.
