Testifying a Personal Touch

1 Thessalonians 2:6-9

I am not a man our in seeking own glory,
To look good telling something derogatory;
Rather being one who is gentle and meek,
As a mother to her child, she would speak;
For as a mother gives affectionate care,
Is my reason for a willingness to share;
Not just of the Gospel of God for to hear,
But also my life and what I hold so dear;
Testifying on the bad as well as the good,
Poetry on the Gospel for to be understood.
There is a lot of me you read in any verse,
Occasionally even going from bad to worse;
My life has not been all peaches and cream,
With a share of doubts not as it may seem;
I am here to say what God has done for me,
In my own life has been a giant testimony;
Troubled times that were gloomy and dark,
Guiding me in the direction I should embark;
For God is very good that I am here to say,
As long as you remember to trust and obey.
