Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Offer It Up

With all other things being considered the same
It’s just a matter of how you perceive it to be
And by doing and accepting all in Lord Jesus’ Name
You will soon find that you set your own self free

Be it that the matter is extremely trying or even very small
For what is it that you are vying if not for the Lord’s Call
For He is well aware of your every plight as you take this new test
Offer it up with Him in sight in soon finding that you are blessed  

So with each new day and every situation
All you need do is pray and think about your salvation
For nothing can compare surely this you must know
Life may not have been fair but He put you in His show(of love)

So just try to take it all in stride 
Using a different perception one that is true
But until this way you have truly walked and tried
Then in your own reality you will sit and stew

1 John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us: 
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Erin Soares-Anselmi February 22, 2014 at 8:08 AM Well said. How many times I have sat and stewed in my own life's juices. For as long as I had sat in them I should be tender by now. Only by the grace of God have I come out of my own stew pot.

Reason A. Poteet February 22, 2014 at 7:30 AM A great statement of your faith. Vincent, keep writing this message of hope for those who "sit and stew". One day the truth of which you write may hit home.
