‘I’m But a Child’

A sample from Book 7

 I'm But a Child
  
 would you believe in Him†
 if you had riches of gold
would you honor Him†
 if you weren't in the cold
  
 in your darkest days
 do you hold faith
  
 when no money's in hand
when deceived by man
 do you cry out to Him†
in a simple hymn
  
 when possessions
flood your gates
 when you have so much to take
 do you stop a moment
say wait
let me give some away
  
 do you welcome
the sinful in
 treat them
like a friend
or do you shun them
 thinking
you're better than them
  
 do you hide
what's deep inside
 swallowed by ego and pride
 not wanting the outside
see you cry
 or do you rise high
trusting in God†
 that He†
won't turn with a sigh
but see your I
 never asking you why
never you, He'll† deny
  
 are you strong enough
to admit
 I'm but a child
I've failed along the miles
 but God's† with me
all the while
  
 it takes strength
to admit defeat
 falling to His† feet
forgiveness...plead
  
 unconditional love
free will
  
 His† love is sealed
His† love is real
  
 He† forgives you
it's all up to you
with nothing
to others
to prove

These people came near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.―Isaiah 29:13

(April 5, 2014)—Maybe, this work was inspired by the movie God’s Not Dead or a dream I had the other night about me being blind and forcing me to ask the question: What is it that I’m not seeing?However, I was inspired and it was written.

There comes a time in your life when it’s just you and Him, and no one else. It doesn’t matter how much you tell yourself that your faith is not shaken or weakened. It is that one place or another in your life that it is. Maybe, that’s our turning point, the darkness you can call it, when He wants us to decided: Are we in or are we out?

Our faith is tested all the time. I know mine is. I’m but a child. I’m always learning. I fail. I then have to get back up, shake it off, and say: Okay, my Lord, here I am.For those who do not believe in Him, well, I can only tell you this: When I’m at my weakest, when I admit my sins to Him and beg for forgiveness or for Him to strengthen me, I am shaking, I am scared.

Why, does my body do this if He is not real? What would cause my body, my whole being to do this if He’s not there? I don’t have to question. He’s all around me, and when I falter, I can easily picture Him standing there shaking His finger at me: No, no, my child. That’s true love.

Yes, God is great all the time. All the time, God is great! Words that believers know are true all the time.
