Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

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.)

Bj Legros Kelley June 26, 2021 at 2:48 AM 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 Mcconnell June 26, 2021 at 3:03 PM Thanks BJ, So glad you loved this one and for your kind and generous words. So pleased you made this one a fav and indeed we have the assurance of God's care and promises towards us too. Take care and God bless you, Gordon

Jennifer Proxenos June 18, 2021 at 9:21 AM 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. Gordon Mcconnell June 18, 2021 at 12:29 PM Thanks Jennifer for your kind encouraging words, as this past year has been a real challenge but one day we'll turn the corner. Take care and keep safe, with much hugs and blessings,Gordon

Judy Ball June 6, 2021 at 9:19 PM 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 Gordon Mcconnell June 7, 2021 at 8:24 AM 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
