I Didn'T Know How Good I Had It Until I Lost Everything I Owned

I didn't know how good I had it, until I lost all that I owned. I lost my famly, all of my cars and even my home. I tried to live a life according to a "good principle." I let pride get in the way and felt rather "invincible." I once had money, wealth and a lot of fame. It seemed like everyone around me all knew my name. I feel empty now... afraid.... and "at my wit's end." Everyone. it seems, has left me. Even my "close friend. 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 Jesus. I know that you can. I read in your word that you are; "I AM that I AM!" In YOU... Jesus... can I find life's meaning. Your life for mine, is what I'm now receiving. You're my best friend whom I love so much. I long for your mercy and peace... your "special touch." You alone can bring true joy that fortune could never give. You brought me hope and peace and a reason to live! By Jim Pemberton 2007
