Life Is To Be Enjoyed
Life is to be enjoyed while we learn from God Who teaches the best lesson:
Such is to love Him above all – in and out of season
To esteem Him with pure heart’s reason
Seeking His grace to transform us to be a better person.
Life is to be optimized while we understand that to fear the Lord is vital
Since doing so for wisdom-gaining is fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us His blessings in their grand total.
Life is to be shared while we trust God’s Word which we must cherish
As our faith stands against trends that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In His confidence He does readily furnish.
Life is to be valued while we flee from worldly influences’ destruction
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation
As we walk through the Spirit’s confirmation
While in His fellowship we bring to Him our petition.
Life is to be grateful for while we stay in God's will* where He is the Driver
For that’s the best choice we have as His love-receiver
We abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He has planted us to be a help-giver.
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
