Save

Amazing steadfast love...When you think about it, do we deserve it? Not really, but that's just the way it is...and I'm so glad! I'm sure you are too!
Steadfast By h. lena jones We rip holes in the ozone layer Rage wars in diverse places Wilfully challenge His commandments Add to that ignoring the Lord�s Prayer Or worst of all dispute that He exists And insist that we know better Yet, in spite of our disobedience God is steadfast in His love He sends the seasons Just the same As day follows night He holds not back The air we breathe Nor spitefully declare We�re a hopeless, stubborn lot And in frustration press the delete button Instead He waits With Fatherly patience For us to come to our senses Like the misguided Prodigal son Wanting back into the fold How amazing is that I ask To serve such a loving Steadfast God of grace! �I will arise and go to my father and will say to Him, Father I have sinned against Heaven And before thee�� (Luke 15:18)

Precious and brilliant, Lena!

You are reaching deep into the minds of your readers...
and prayerfully, promoting changes of hearts: '...for as a man/woman/child thinks, so they become.'

Excellent in every way!

Love&HUGS, Rhonda

His love is forever but our obstinence is strong. You wrote this well. by the way, Richard, the delete button may be a mute point if the computer crashes. Is that our fate?
God Bless,

No the "delete" button is not yet, though I believe the "restructuring" button is soon to be pushed.

Such wisdom flows through your pen dear Lena. Always palatable, and always nourishing to the mind and soul. You are a rare blessing! There is no argument one can mount against what you write because it has sprung from the heart of our Creator.

In fraternity and vision ...
