Notes About The Poem

There has never been one person who has come to
know JESUS CHRIST that hasn't had some sin that
needed to be forgiven!  There is none good, no not
one - as the BIBLE puts it.  GOD is GOOD and when
we come to HIM in Faith and ask HIM to FORGIVE us,
HE does!  GOD BLESS!

 

When You Look Back, There Is the Cross

When You Look Back, THERE IS THE CROSS!!

How many times over the last 40+ years have I looked back upon my
life, sin, failures and sometimes my successes but not as much as my
failures.  BUT GOD!

HE didn’t go to the cross for no reason; HE didn’t suffer the stripes
in vain; but, we have to claim them, put the devil under our feet and
command him to go and command the spirits of infirmity to leave
our bodies in JESUS’ NAME!

I was laying in bed on a Saturday morning and the LORD started
to talk to me!  THE CROSS!!!  Did it do what HE said it would?
Did HE forgive me or not?  Did HE wash all my sins and
failure away or didn’t HE?  Didn’t HE throw my sins into the
Sea of Forgetfulness or not?

When I got born again…. Accepted JESUS CHRIST as my LORD
and SAVIOR and committed my life to HIM, HE showed me a 
“huge cross” that was like glued to my back!  Everywhere I go 
it is there!!!  As I would look back, all I could see was the CROSS
 and CALVARY!  That is the way it should look; HE took those sins
 and threw them into the Sea of Forgetfulness!
I had allowed myself and the devil to torment me!  I had wanted 
to be “perfect” for HIM… I didn’t want to hurt HIM by doing any
sin willfully but, I was not and am not perfect yet!  In Heaven
I will be perfect, the ole’ sin nature will be gone and I want to
be more and more like HIM but, I might not be now but one
day I will be.  For now, my cross is with me, and the devil is under
my feet.  HIS love is flooding me and guiding me, I was BORN
AGAIN over 40 years ago and for now, HE and my CROSS
are enough.  The devil is defeated and my sin is “GONE” and
HE – GOD is GOOD!!  HE is my all in all and HE is my 
everything!!!

PRAISE GOD – MAY I NEVER FORGET THIS!  
AND, JESUS IS LORD!!!!
