"NEVER LET GO!"
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 5}
If one 'refuses' to help you
will you continue to help again?
Or if they go right 'back'
would you rescue them from sin?
I would turn away & say:
"You get what you deserve!"
But, GOD is so very 'patient'
& holds His anger in 'reserve'!
His 'compassion' is unfailing *
He'll use our suffering to call us out,
Suffering because of disobedience
yet He hears us when we shout.
Our cries to 'deliver us'
rise high above to CHRIST,
He'll override our circumstances
& reconcile our life.
THANK YOU sweet Lord Jesus
for never letting go of me,
I'm so very 'grateful'
& Your LOVE ~amazes~ me!
It is so amazng
to find such Strength & Love,
Coming from The Father
Who stands ~watching~ from above!
He watches all we do
& hears all that we say,
Reserving His right to Judge us
on that great & glorious Day!
I pray our sins will be covered
by the Blood of Christ,
~Forgiven & forgotten~
by His great Sacrifice.
I pray for strength to serve God
& for His help to 'be like Jesus',
As only His shed Blood
is the ~price~ that can free us!
Free us of that sinful nature
& make us more like Him,
Helping us to be of 'service'
& to do it ~ with a grin!
For when we think of all He's done
& all His Mercy & Grace,
Our eyes light up with JOY
& it shows up on our face.
Can we not ~rejoice~
that He never let go?
Else we'd only reap
exactly what we sow!
Sow to The ~Spirit~
& reap everlasting Joy,
Pass it on to others
especially each girl & boy.
Then they, too, will know
Jesus LOVES them as well,
He wants to come & give us 'life'
& save us ALL from hell!
AMEN!!!
* Judges 2:18. 9/30/98
