Poem
When You Look Back, THERE IS THE CROSS!! How many times over the last 40+ years have I looked back upon my life, sin, failures and sometimes my successes but not as much as my failures. BUT GOD! HE didn’t go to the cross for no reason; HE didn’t suffer the stripes in vain; but, we have to claim them, put the devil under our feet and command him to go and command the spirits of infirmity to leave our bodies in JESUS’ NAME! I was laying in bed on a Saturday morning and the LORD started to talk to me! THE CROSS!!! Did it do what HE said it would? Did HE forgive me or not? Did HE wash all my sins and failure away or didn’t HE? Didn’t HE throw my sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness or not? When I got born again…. Accepted JESUS CHRIST as my LORD and SAVIOR and committed my life to HIM, HE showed me a “huge cross” that was like glued to my back! Everywhere I go it is there!!! As I would look back, all I could see was the CROSS and CALVARY! That is the way it should look; HE took those sins and threw them into the Sea of Forgetfulness! I had allowed myself and the devil to torment me! I had wanted to be “perfect” for HIM… I didn’t want to hurt HIM by doing any sin willfully but, I was not and am not perfect yet! In Heaven I will be perfect, the ole’ sin nature will be gone and I want to be more and more like HIM but, I might not be now but one day I will be. For now, my cross is with me, and the devil is under my feet. HIS love is flooding me and guiding me, I was BORN AGAIN over 40 years ago and for now, HE and my CROSS are enough. The devil is defeated and my sin is “GONE” and HE – GOD is GOOD!! HE is my all in all and HE is my everything!!! PRAISE GOD – MAY I NEVER FORGET THIS! AND, JESUS IS LORD!!!! Written by: Marilyn S. Jennings 2018
