Enduring Life’s Hardships

Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.

Yes, be an encourager
With a Barnabus heart
All are called to encourage
Not criticize, tear apart.

So dear saint, do not focus
On outer flaws, your external
Know God searches hearts
‘Tis our soul, that’s eternal.

God speaks to the seeker
Those turning to Him
Those empty, for filling
Pours His Spirit, within.

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

Have you stopped, given thought
Does joy fill your soul
Have you gladness of heart?
For in Him, you are whole.

Do learn to forgive
So you can forsake
Lest you carry hurts
Resentments, heartache.

In exchange for your sin
He will give you, His Spirit
Be discontented, no longer
Yield your life, He will fill it.

Feeling your failing
Seems God, is not answering
Frustrated by failure
Confusion and cancelling.

Deeper, yet deeper
Drawn deeper still more
Am so devoted, desirous
Of Your presence, O Lord.
