His selfless, unfailing love Archives - Page 2 of 10

Whatever My Lot

And so by faith, we firmly stand;
Even though, not understood;
Despite the darkness and distress;
God is working for our good.

And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.

So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?

As we abide in Christ Jesus;
Naught separates us, from God’s love;
For in Christ Jesus, we are sealed;
With God’s Spirit, from above.

Have you entered God’s presence;
Of quiet rest, and peace;
To abide in Christ Jesus;
From ‘self’, be released?

But we’re to “love one another”;
Tis not an option, He commands us;
“Just as I have loved you”;
So do obey, Jesus demands us.

“But He knows, the way I take;
When He has tested me;
I shall come forth as gold;
For Job trusted, tho’ couldn’t see.

Yes daily die, to fleshly self;
Start constant living, in Christ;
Be no longer, self-centered;
Now in Christ, wholly sufficed.

I am blessed, beyond all measure;
I’m created for God’s glory;
I’m living for Him, not myself;
I’m daily sharing, His wondrous story!

“To love our neighbor, as ourself”;
But if refusing, to forgive them;
“Your Father won’t, forgive your sins”;
So, ask for grace, don’t condemn them!
