EVERYONE HAS A STORY

 

Everyone has a story,

a life changing moment.

It defines who we are,

and we should share it.

I came across a man,

who had a story to tell.

What he had to say,

it did not go well.

He was a go getter,

who was stricken with an illness.

Despite many different tests,

they made no progress.

But he didn't give up,

he decided to pray.

Let God take over,

and do it his way.

Days became weeks,

with many sleepless nights.

So he kept praying,

help me win this fight.

With witnesses around,

he suddenly was healed.

They called it a miracle,

his prayer was answered.

When he turned his focus,

and relied on God's grace.

Then he finally realized,

why this trial took place.

He was drawn closer to God,

in the midst of strife.

Now he can say, 

God changed his life.

LOOK TO JESUS

 

Even though I struggle,

I won't stop living.

Because moments like this,

is when I start praying.

I trust the Lord,

I won't give up.

Because of his promises,

I know there's hope.

So what he said,

he would never forsake.

So I seek the Lord,

the best decision I made.

So during these trials,

it matters how I react.

So with my emotions,

I won't panic.

He has a new plan,

so my life is not over.

So what he allows,

is to draw me closer.

It's through tribulations,

that develop perseverance.

The race set for me,

I run with endurance.

TRIALS WE FACE

 

I lived a life,

with a future unknown.

With no set of goals,

and life on my own.

Then I discovered the bible,

it revealed to me.

Rely on the Lord,

and include him in everything.

And what a journey,

I have been through.

I was never alone,

God was there too.

I struggled with doubts,

when life looked grim.

In the midst of all this,

I still trust him.

Even though I suffered,

my life took a turn.

It was during this time,

that I would learn.

What God had allowed,

I use it as a reminder.

The trials I face,

it produces character.

And not only that,

it produces perseverance.

I drew closer to God,

with new found assurance.

I abide in him,

and he's my provider.

And here I am,

I'm stronger than ever.
