But Only Live For Me This Day

My worry so bittersweet, leaves me so incomplete. I am so easily swept up in the scrambled rush of society, a society that makes utter madness seemed as perfumed as the essence of myrrh. Fears come not from God above, but from the prince of darkness here below. So I cry out for mercy, help and compassion for such a great sinner as I. I fall down upon my knees onto the rough ground of a desert oasis, I pray to God to help me be ok and follow Him in a better way. Hearing the gentle but insistent rustle of the cottonwoods, I am certain that my Lord has found me. He says to me, "My daughter in order to be the first in My Kingdom you must indeed be the last in this realm of the tormentor's deadly grasp. Do not worry for tomorrow My child, but only live for Me this day. For just remember the price paid to bring you new life during each day and the someday forever... because forever you will be with Me while knowing that there will be no end." With a joyful laugh I scolded the devil for trying to make another mess of my life. I make an effort to end my internal strife and ward away the tense wrinkles that would mar my tender face. For the whole truth is that God had just put me in my place for His sake and mine. His love for me was right on time.
