A SP Exercise.....TODAY I FOUND MYSELF

 

Today,
I found myself...
somewhere
inside the maze
of all the deliberate confusion
The heavens opened up
and I found my place
I am no more a follower
than Moses was
when he realized his calling
And, like Job also endured loss
so shall I endure
God helps me to remember
that He doesn't take away pain
He helps you thru it
You can take it all away
leaving me
with absolutely nothing
Multiplied tribulations
oceans of fret
and I will still say
God is good  'all the time'
and He isn't through with me yet
Bruised,
but not broken
a teacher,
and not a token
Yelled
not spoken
I AM HERE!
"Instead of chasing happiness,
I am choosing to enjoy it.
Instead of putting off life
until later,
I will live it fully
wherever I may be.
There is only
the slightest connection
between my external circumstances
and the level of genuine joy
I eagerly experience.
This moment is,
more than anything else,
what I make it."
For every sundown
I experience
there lies a creation
some gift of God's own
made to bring a little sunshine
back into it
When He closes one door
He opens another

"lift up ye heads, O ye gates"
