| Hope Within You |
When I see my God, face to face.
How I yearn to stand in His grace -
thou faithful servant,
my heart yearsn to hear,
Nothing else my heart can bear.
Oh, how I want to please my Savior and God
who holds the key To a world crying for answers.
Oh, God that my life will hold the secret
of Your great love, sent from Heaven's
portal, in your Son from above.
How I want my life to have some geat
effect, not knowing what I ask.
Dying to self so others' needs can be met.
Keeping my eyes on Jesus - not the responses of others
Their actions are not always what they seem to be.
Keep my eyes on Jesus - He will handle the
consequence, and bring men to be free.
Always be prepared to give...the reason for the hope that is in you
1 Peter 3:15
The Journey ~~~~Walk the Talk!
This hope that runs through our mortal bodies is like water running between the banks. It comes from the source, the fountain of Life, and meets in the valley. In those low places, God says He is the Almighty on high and dwells in high places with those of contrite spirit and a broken heart. When we are broken, humbled, there is when we surrender to the Life from above and allow that Life to flow through us. In that condition we meet Him in high places. Isaiah 5718
It takes a life time journey to understand it. He says, "Blessed are the poor of spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 53
I wrote this poem in 1992 when I had high ideals about the Christian walk. We were taught to have some great effect, and meet the needs of others. Today, my only prayer is, "Lord, cause me to stay humble so that I can meet you and fellowship with you, then that Life that comes from Heaven's portal in your Son will flow to others. There is nothing in me that has any great effect, if it does not come from above, we are all indeed most needy and without hope."
