We Need To Come Close To Jesus

We Need To Come Close to Jesus!

There’s something that
 must be a certainty.
As a a child of God, 
we need Godly maturity.

We need to have a godly 
discernment.
And be filled with God's love.
and encouragement..

Time for prayer and Bible
 reading must be spent.
A commitment to Christ
 must be 100 percent.

Some may "pretend" to be
 God's child, like everything’s "cool."
But it's God that we'll 
never be able to fool.

Let’s stand for Jesus 
"in a world gone wrong."
Though we are weak…  
Christ remains strong.

We don't know what
 tomorrow will bring.
Living for Jesus is
 the most important thing.

Let’s live for Christ 
all of the way!
He'll never disappoint us now!  
Or any day!
