Save

Praise God for Saving me! It's good to take the time, every once in a while, to 'turn' and consider where He found us... appreciating anew the Love, Mercy and Grace that He poured out. Perhaps many years have passed, but we can still appreciate what He did for us. I won't ever forget my pitiful condition when He rescued me, for this helps me to fight the... 'air of pride'. Thus, when considering any fellow human, in whatever state they happen to be in, no matter how deplorable...I know-without a doubt...'but for the Grace of God, there go I'.

Every…once-in-awhile~~ My Heart turns… with a smile to consider…the thousands of mile trod…but not on my own And I waltz…momentously…with the things shown *for appearing … in His* looking-glass are unforgotten repertoires of grace…twirling pass… The King! attended me…tenderly scolding with Calvary’s Mercy…ever unfolding A wisp of His Power…all…that was needed was imparted to this frame…bent with sin, so impeded! His Chimes of Forgiveness, with golden gilt embellished a Love that will never…wilt! And His Voice of Assurance that I’ll ne’er forget even now elicits tears…which for joy…were wept Lo!...sweet...was deliverance from night’s sway but yea…not for long there I stay** Yet, I know, as I step back…into present isle Heart…will again turn and smile… Every…once-in-awhile~~ Ps 46:9, Ps 77:11-12, Ps 103:1-14, 2Peter 1:12-15 Copyright;jmsbell/3/16/2018

Today I look back at the person I was and where God has brought me today and they are two separate people. I sin daily and am always in need of Him and His mercy. Reading this is such a comfort!

Love ya!

Somedays I yell at God for taking my loved ones. Other days I thank him for leaving me here to help my parents in their old and infirm age. But all through this, I always knew there was a being above watching over me.

It is a sacred feeling to realize that we are not alone even when we are here alone on earth. A lovely inspirational poem to help us remember the essentials.
