Jeremiah 1:5-Before You Were Born

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL-CONTEST Sponsors:Olive Eloisa Guillermo & James Fraser Poem based upon the bible verse: “I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born” -Jeremiah 1:5 My Savior knew every difficulty I would face in my life and He suffered each one by my side. He gracefully held me in His arms before I was placed into my mother's bosom. Before all the goodness of the nation before every good deed He knew I would accomplish and before all my mistakes and fleshly desires... -He loved me. I was chosen by the Lord personally to live a life according is His word. I shall keep walking with Him on the path He has chosen for me and together we will move mountains. I shall look at Him with a positive focus and profess my gratitude for my humble life. His grace and mercy were bestowed to me before the blue sky swirled with white fluffy clouds and before the first sun rose beautifully in the east. For all the rest of my days I shall follow Him towards the righteousness of His word. His word prepares me for the... -Kingdom of Heaven... Date Written: January 9, 2016

Laura, there is a directive, power, trust and surrender in the lines.. I like this because this somewhat a prayer of faith.. =`) Indeed, I too believe that God have a particular path, purpose HE entrusted to us.. And all we are experiencing is a part of His molding.. =`) Congratulations!!! I love this verse too! One of the verses, I first tried to reflect and explained during our Bible studies.. ~Olive Eloisa =`)
