Loss to Gain
by Connie Faust → (All Poetry by Connie Faust)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

This may sound critical of "some people" but is not meant that way. It's a personal meditation and prayer, yearning to know God more deeply.


Some people sing of Christ the King --
They say they've given Him everything.
They sing His praise;
                           they call His Name;
But in their lives, they stay the same.

All I want to do is know You, Lord.
All I want to do is follow You.

              Just take my treasures;
                                      take my past;
              and give me Jesus,
                                       that's all I ask;
That I might have the priceless joy
                                  of knowing You!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


          "I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. 
          I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.  I want to know Christ....." 
  a quote from St. Paul, found in Philippians, chapter three, in the Holy Bible

Beautiful and so true...we see people every day that proclaim that he lives within their hearts and in their lives, but no change have they made. When I got saved I didn't want to do the things that I once did, I did not want to go to the places I once went, I saw things with a different view...with the love of Jesus living in my heart. This is a great reminder for all of us...great write.
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling
