I Am So Glad.. I Am So Thankful
Thursday, June 18, 2009
I was thinking about how busy my life has been lately and how I have not given God the time that I should be giving Him, I was reminded today about something which I am so grateful for. I received an email which truly made me stop and think about how much God truly loves me. Thank you my friend Angie for this beautiful reminder. I love you my sister!
What would happen to me if God got so very busy and did not take time out for me? What would happen if God was so busy with others, that He did not remember me? What would happen to me? What would my life be like?
Have you ever thought about these questions? Maybe you should.
I am so glad I do not have to worry about the answer to these questions!
I am so THANKFUL that God DOES NOT get to busy to remember me! I am so THANKFUL that He is PATIENT. I am so THANKFUL that He is MERCIFUL! I am so THANKFUL that He does love me with all my flaws and insecurities! How wonderful is our God!
As you read this poem, I pray that you are reminded just how wonderful, merciful and compassionate God is.
God is ALWAYS, ALWAYS there for us no matter what.
GOD NEVER GETS TO BUSY FOR US.
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need.
But at last the time, the time to die
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said:
'Your name I cannot find
I once was going! to write it down...
But never found the time'

Praise God and thank Him for having time for you my friends. Thank Him and ask Him to forgive you for the times you got so busy, you forgot about Him.
Grace and Peace

Valerie Lynn, what a beautiful poem. You know, this really struck home as I've been thinking about this very thing in my own life. Why do we let it happen?
Would you mind if I borrow this one for my sister and son and daughter. They could really use this themselves right now. Thank you my sister. Love and blessings to you always,
