Heavenward Bound
Sometimes thoughts that I pen Do not reflect my heart within Inspired by a message I hear Truths ring out loud and clear Areas where I need to change Only the Spirit can rearrange Sinful nature gets in the way Battle of my will day by day Boat set on autopilot going west To change course and head east Requires ongoing forced steering Facing resistance and very tiring My willpower eventually fades By the way I am humanly made Letting go is a key I am missing Path to joy and His full blessing I am born again from above Accepted by His infinite love Life is a journey year to year Forever with my Savior near Before life on earth is done Eternal beginning has begun Earthly body will be buried Soul to heaven He will carry Fresh thinking all the time I long God's desire for man all along Talking to God like a close friend Living an abundant life to the end Viewing each day as an adventure With continuing surprises for sure Through good or bad, to still rejoice That is what I want to be my choice © Carol Salter 9/16/09 Last four stanzas based partly on this quote: "Being born again from above is a perennial, perpetual and eternal beginning; A freshness all the time in thinking And in talking and in living, The continual surprise of the life of God." from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
