Being Accepted As I Am

Having lived my own life lessons you learn through time ones that count for life to forget would be a crime Stammered every day since birth enduring it all incredibly tough but better things around my corner believing it could be enough One day God broke through revealing His love in His blessed son who had died for all my sins to indwell me shows salvation's done This God assured me of one thing He accepted me just as I am nothing I bring just to Jesus cling this truth eternally brings me calm (I have written this to pass on the main life lesson I've learned throughout my life that this has kept me calm and how to live in the forward direction.)

I really love this Gordon. Isn't it wonderful that He is beside us through everything helping us with our varied challenges? I personally do not know how I could have survived without the Lord beside me. He will never leave nor forsake us, we are His beloved children. Moses was used greatly even though He stammered, but God is using you even now by writing this poem. It's in my Fav's. God bless you ~BJ

Gordon, a stammer is your challenge, and God and Jesus have shown you how much you are worth to them through your undivided, devoted and absolute faith in Them. All of us have some challenge in life, you have coped so brilliantly, kudos my friend for your honesty and courage. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

We must never feel that though we have draw backs we are not as good as anyone else because they have draw backs too. As for stammering when you speak, Moses stammered too and look what great things he accomplished through God Almighty. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB

Thanks Judy, Glad you liked it and for your encouragement though we all can't be a Moses I understand what you're meaning though at present nearly every word is a struggle. Have a blessed day, its lovely and sunny over here, Blessings, Gordon

God accepts us for who we are Gordon and it doesn't really matter what others think, we proudly follow his path and have nothing to fear. Tom

A positive message, Gordon! I have found that it's true that without Jesus, we will focus on the wrong things. Your focus is right on! Blessings, Kim M
