 ECHOES OF THE HEART

I Thank God


I thank God for my YESTERDAY
And all the Yesterdays of my life
To give me a foundation
On which to build my Life
Giving me the opportunity
And the responsibility
Of making my own choices
And selecting from an array
Of multiple Possibilities
The course that I would pursue
Within the bounds of His constraints.

I Thank God for TODAY
And for each Present Tense of Time
And even though it does become quite tense
Dealing with the Problems and Pressures
That surface and dominate much of my day
I am thankful that He is Watching over Me
Always on Call, with His Guiding Hand
Of Protection and of Providence
That I never have to feel all alone
Though sometimes overwhelmed by circumstance
I trust in the One who is All-Knowing
All-Loving and All-Powerful
To actively Direct me through His Word
And on a "Real-Time" basis
Help me in the on-going production of my Life.

I thank God for the FUTURE
For the prospects of a New Tomorrow
For the realization that the struggles of life
Are not a dead-end street going nowhere
But a purposeful experience leading to a furtherance
A Fulfillment, a Grand Purpose, and Destiny.
A Future, in ways mercifully shielded from me
For I am not strong enough yet to embrace it all,
Yet a Future so real as Today-
A knowing that God is the God of Everlastingness
And chooses to include me in the endlessness
Of Eternal Infinity, of which this present Reality
Is but a dim and shadowy entranceway
To The Fullness and Absoluteness of Time without Time
Eternity without End,and for the Redeemed and Blessed--
Joy without Measure--far and distantly removed
From all the association of misery and pain presently known.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, O GOD
I Bow my knee to Thee,
And Jesus, Thy Son and My Savior
Accepting Thy Spirit of Grace!
