I Appreciate God's Blessings

I Appreciate God’s Blessings! I didn't know how good I had it, until I lost what I owned. I lost my family, possessions, and home.. I tried to live a life according to a "good principle." I let pride get in the way and felt kind of "invincible." I once had money, wealth and some fame. Now I feel alone and ashamed. I feel empty, afraid and "at my wit's end." Everyone. it seems, has left me. Even my close friends. Jesus... You're the one I know that I can call upon. You make things "right" when all seems "wrong." What you can give to me, money could never buy. I humbly kneel before you Lord, with a desperate cry. Please help me dear lord... I know that you can. I read in your word that you are; "I AM that I AM!" In YOU... Jesus... I can find life's meaning. Your life for mine, is what I'm now believing. You're my best friend whom I love so much. I need your mercy and peace! Your "special touch." You alone can bring love and joy, that wealth can never give. You brought me hope and peace and a reason to live! By Jim Pemberton 08/21/15
