Sorrowful yet always rejoicing Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Love not the World

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.

So, through seasons of life
As God leads to the next
Do trust and obey Him
Daily, enter His rest.

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

In Christ, we shall join them
And dance hand in hand
In praise, adoration
Worship Jesus, the Lamb.

And though parting is painful
To the core of our being
It is but for a season
We can trust, without seeing.
