In quietness I look inside my heart
What do I really see?
Do I see an overcomer
Or someone I don’t want to be?
I see a heart so deeply grieved
Burdened with too much to bear
I see someone that struggles each day
With the load unable to share
I see someone who has a passion
To always do what’s right
But often though, missing the mark
And failing to be Christ-like
I see someone who feels inadequate
Unable to truly express
The God-given things that are there inside
To a world growing deaf
I see someone who feels afraid
Hiding with faithless fear
With every day seeming an endless mission
Confidence is just not there
I see someone who longs to be
An overcomer by God’s grace
To stand with boldness, for the truth of God
Without emotions in the way
Someone longing to be used of God
In the work He has given
To spread the message of Jesus love
And to be clothed in godly wisdom
It seems so overwhelming for me
When I look into my heart
I know there are many things to change
For my heart seems so dark
Yes I have a long way to go
To become more like Christ
But I am a work still in progress
God’s still working in my life
And maybe I will never be able
To be completely whole
But I keep pressing on in God
With eternity as my goal
For this side of Heaven, has its trials
For this we all can be sure
Our focus shouldn’t be on what’s wrong with us
But all we can be in the Lord

I can see you have strong Christianity in your soul~
Each step takes you closer to your goal...
To see your own dilemma
Is to see indeed.
Surely that is revealed by the Spirit giving you insight.
Thank you for this really throbbing poem
So real in striving.
Lord, let angelic assistance be ours so that in You, we find REST. We rest in all that You are. You are WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, ALMIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, OUR GOOD SHEPHERD, JEHOVAH RAPHA OUR HEALER, OUR JEHOVAH JIREH OUR PROVIDER...
Holy Spirit lead us to drink from your streams of quiet water and feed in your lush green pastures. You restore our soul.
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know You [Father], the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." (John 17:3)
Yes Father, I oray that you continue to give us revelations of just how GREAT you are so that we will see how secure we are in You, Amen.
[jOHN 10:27] My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. [28] I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. [29] My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and the Father are one."
