The Power of Submission

God can change so many things,
If we'll just try to let Him;
But He can only change the things,
That we release to Him.

The things we hold back deep inside,
Become a thing of torment.
Bitterness, hate and foolish pride,
Become like angry giants.

But all the things that we submit,
To the throne of Him, most humble,
Are shown to us for what they are,
Then slowly fall and crumble.

Amen, Judy. We own nothing and cannot even claim it's ours if we haven't at least offered it back to the God from which it came. Thank you for the uplifting and informative message, my friend. Bill

Great poem, Judy. It has been really challenging for everyone because we battle with the idea of yielding everything to God. Appreciate the opportunity! Blessings,

Thank you so much Kim. I know what you mean. It isn't easy to admit even to oneself certain things we wish we had never done and if we do not admit them and ask forgiveness we cannot be forgiven. Been there, done that. God Bless, JB

Thank you so much Mystic Rose. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak so we must be in complete submission to The Father. Just remember that "We Are Not ALLOWED To Sin". That way we most probably won't. God Bless, JB
