The Living Answer

Before the day begins.  Before anything else is allowed to invade my thought, time is a premium...

Spending precious quiet time

thinking of the Cross.

Pondering what some believe

to be a tragic loss.

Though some believe it was a waste

to mock, to beat and kill,

the Father saw it all for good

to carry out his will.

 

Had Jesus not gone through it all,

where, then, would lie our hope?

With no forgiveness for our sins

could we then even cope?

Could He relate then if He were

not tempted such as we?

Had He not bore the many stripes,

where would our healing be?

 

However, He went through it all,

therefore we have a Way:

a Way to answer each temptation

that would come our way;

a Way to handle situations

in this temporal life;

a Way to so escape the pain

brought on by earthly strife!

 

Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

He is the only Way!

I'm risen, saved, filled and healed

by all He has to say!

And though some choose to still believe

that my sweet Lord is dead,

I KNOW I serve a God Who is

alive and well instead!!

What a blessing it is to be reminded of Jesus Christ and His fullness as soon as you get up!

Somehow, the issues that are pending don't seem so intimidating.

Somehow, I retain a song within throughout all that comes my way.

Think about Him.
