Is it He or Me who gives?

We should therefore learn that the only good we have is what the Lord has given us gratuitously; that the only good we do is what He does in us; that it is not that we do nothing ourselves, but that we act only when we have been acted upon, in other words under the direction and influence of the Holy Spirit… John Calvin


Poem Artwork

 
My very birth was a gift from God, my maker
For I was created in the very image of my creator
For all my talents and abilities are products of his making
Any of my life’s accomplishments are truly products of his undertaking
He is my source of strength, compassion and understanding
It is Gods spirit that dwells within me that is directing
And I follow that lead because his love promotes more love
Thus, the knowledge of that love gives me strength to rise above
And rise I will, trusting completely in his assurance
And believing I can overcome earthly lusts drawing from Gods pool of endurance
I therefore share the word given through the Holy Spirit
To save the souls of all those who believe it when they hear it
