He Decided To Keep Me Here

I figured I would go right up to heaven So I was ready to die, wishing for it actually. Expecting to see my relatives, and my favorite dogs I closed my eyes begging for God to take me But He decided to keep me here Jesus came to me in a dream and His will was clear I had work yet to do And was not going to find relief What I needed was a different doctor I was disappointed, but he is God And I am merely his servant, And a sinner to boot He did not talk about any of my indiscretions But I felt them none-the-less They actually ran around in my mind as He spoke I decided to get better, do better, be better So maybe when He was ready, I would be able to go to heaven The way I was going had to be revisited, Rethought, and reevaluated. He did that for me. And I found a new doctor who kept me alive. Not as alive as going home, But alive enough for me to change my sinning ways. So thank you O’Lord.

Caren, God works in mysterious ways. And occasionally checks in on PoetrySoup, apparently. -Richard
