HE GIVES US - YET AGAIN . """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" WRITTEN BY S.C.MITCHELL FEBRUARY 2015 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Have you exhausted your store of endurance ? - Is your basket now empty - that once was so full ? - Does the pathway you walk on seem uphill and narrow ? And the burden you carry - seem harder to haul ? - Then turn To the Saviour - whose yoke has proved easy - and lay down your Cares at the foot of the cross - then rest in the arms of the Father who loves you - and count all your blessings - Not the things you have lost . Are you seeking for promotion - or that allusive winning Draw ? - or looking for the clover leaves - with their special Number four ? - or - are you working so much harder - to appear The best of all - so you stand above the others - with your head Held high and tall ? - are the Uppers and the Downers - still Helping you get by - or the caffeine and the sugar - Still keeping you on high ? Friends - may I suggest to you - that these things will not Last - and all the scheming and the plotting - will soon be in The past - and only things that God ordains - will bear good fruit And remain - for He giveth - and He giveth - and He gives us - yet Again - for He knows about our frailties - as each day comes and goes - He is aware of all our sorrows - and every tear that flows - but He can solve all our problems - as we trust Him in each Test - with Faith and hope - believing - He gives Only what is best . His love has no limits - it goes on and on - when all others have Deserted you - and loved ones have all gone - the Father will still Hold you tight - with love close to His breast - and speak tenderly to you - As He gives you peace and rest - then - as you grow stronger - He will Strengthen your way - and give you love and courage to face Each coming day - Whatever the circumstance - He will Always be near - and He'll protect you - and He'll guide You - and banish every fear . Such is His Loving Heart - reaching through All time - as He Giveth - and Giveth - and Gives Us - Yet again . """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" This poem was inspired by the wonderful words of Annie Johnson Flint who wrote those immortal lines ... He giveth - and giveth and giveth again. May they bless you my friends today With God's Everlasting love. Stella >< Vote for this poem
