So Many Times I Didn'T Know What To Do

So Many Times… So many times, I have trusted the Lord… Even though many things in life I couldn’t afford. So many times, I would run to Jesus in times of despair. Looking for someone to listen. Someone to care… So many times, I would tell God, I’ll live for him… Only to be “tripped up” by another sin. So many times I’ve grumbled and complained… Bitterness and unhappiness have been “substained…” So many times, I’ve tried to do my best. Only to find myself, once again in a mess! So many times, Jesus has been there to listen… His blessings in my life is what I’ve been missin’! So many times, I’ve read God’s word throughout. And scripture tells me that God is what life is all about! So many times, I’ve refused to answer when Jesus calls… Yet my life seems to be “going over the waterfalls…” This time… I’m going to let Christ “heal my wounded spirit ” And accept mercy and love… He’s willing to give it! This time… I need so much more of him, and a lot less of me. For I once was so blind. But now… I can SEE! This time…. I’ll allow Jesus to be the Lord of my life too… And honestly tell him; “Dear Jesus… I sure LOVE YOU!” This time… I will follow him and seek to do his will… His joy and peace… In my life… He shall fulfill! This time… I am so thankful for this decision I made. There’s nothing in this world, for Christ… I would ever trade! By Jim Pemberton 01/06/11
