Psalm 9: 1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High…
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
It was amazing yesterday when an old friend had called me.
We spoke about
the amazing way that God shows us and guides us along this path. She told me of how God was leading her to a new adventure and all that He had done to move the mountains before her. He displays His strength and His beauty as you seek Him. There is no joy so great as the joy He provides. Sometimes that means that I come to the end of me, that I might truly see Him. Let me share with you a poem/song I wrote a few years ago. I hope you enjoy it.
WHEN I CAME TO THE END OF ME
So many times I strayed so far from you
And wondered what was I there to do
I tried so hard, my might, to do your will
I could not see I should stand still
What could I do to bring you a gift
The harder I tried, the farther I’d drift
I reached that point, reality
I’d broke your heart, still you loved me
CHORUS: When I didn’t have the strength
You were so strong
When my heart was filled with tears
You were my song
You are the love,
You are the peace,
You are the joy that flows in me
When I didn’t have a hope
At the end of my life’s rope
And I couldn’t find my way
You came to save this wandering stray
And now I know a different me
It is your love that set me free
That in this world I might now see
All that you are, your majesty
When I came to the end of me
My love for you, Your love for me
Question: Do you seek Him as Your Greatest Treasure?
