I Wrestled
Several nights now I have wrestled with death for my life. I don’t fear death, I’m
just not done with life. I have things to finish here. People to reach out to.
I feel my spirit pull me back as death tries to take me away. My heart knows it will
be all right when the time is in God’s plan. But not at this time, it leaves too many
unsaid, ‘I love you's’. There is too much still to be done with and for my loved
ones.
When my goal has been reached, then I will cherish the moment I lay to rest, until
I see my Lord’s hand reaching out for me as I rise up from my sleep.
But for now … it is life I choose to live. It is Christ I live for. So death leave me
alone! You can’t have me until my God says it is to be. I trust His timing and His
love for me.
You, death care of nothing but death. You shall wait, while I live. I plan to live a
full and rich life while you wait.
God has promised to give us the desires of our heart, those that are stayed on
Him. I am in His hands and you can’t do anything about it.
There will come a day though that you will have your way, but not totally. For you
can only take me in physical death, but I will live in eternal life with my Lord and
Saviour.
So, see you still can’t win!
