Jeff's Corner
Why I believe in God the way I do. The following oughtta answer that question pretty well.
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the
Overseer of the overcomers, and is to come. And if that seems impressive
to
You, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me and
Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!

I get asked "how do you know he's even there?"
Read that again....it's pretty simple.
I "got it" when I was 8 years old-the realization of God hit me--I was sittin' on my Grandmom's old, f'ugly sofa at the time. Her questions HELPED me and her answers NAILED me. A woman of Great Faith. Sitting at her house, that's how I found out that the above is foolproof and failsafe.... Kinda neat!
You forgot: When someone
You forgot: When someone gets in my way, He kicks their ass.
JAMES G! *LMAO!*
THAT, sir, is profound.
Copyright that, willya? But it kinda fit with that "when I'm weak/he's strong" line. People mess with me -always have-. They think because I was four-eyed they could shove me around when I was younger.
He gave me music...
I didn't ask for that.
(Blows my mind daily!)
The people who used to rag me out for the coke-bottles I used wear?
Shut up when I sit down at a piano now.
They see 7 years of classical training, and a bent on playing to give BACK....and to encourage, and I've actually had to tell those folks, "...thanks, man-but somebody Huge was lookin' over my shoulder-I missed more notes than I hit."
For somebody with my vision, or lack thereof?
That's A God Thang!
GAP is CORRECT.
T
I can allmost see Him do that !
You know what , he allready did in my life !
Billie S: Protector and Defender!
+1, hon.
Countless times.
No doubt or question in my brain.
THAT is comfort. It's why I have slept like a brick when I was by myself and the cops were bustin' people in the next flat for cookin' up crystal meth...
Why I've never been afraid to live by myself after two rapes on a college campus.
Or why I've never been afraid to walk home 5 blocks at night. (Well, there was the dull pocket knife in my bag that I still carry---self defense, keeps frazzles off the hem of your jeans, etc).
There have been time in my life when I've been VERY afraid. Very lonely. He's not once left me stranded, or alone. He don't work like that.
