If you haven’t found the time yet to join in with a prayer time alone time with God, I urge you to try. It will change your life—of that I am certain. Today I hope you enjoy this poem as well.
Transforming Grace
by Effie Darlene Barba
Transforming Grace, how could it be
That you should choose someone like me
And with one touch these blind eyes free
A glimpse of Glory’s love to see
A mind so filled with doubt and fear
Transformed to peace as you draw near
The darkened winding path now clear
As whisper of your voice I hear
I cannot fathom why you sought
Someone like me, Salvation bought
That from this rubbish thou hast wrought
A life now filled with Your dear thought
So take this selfish heart you found
And with your gentle love surround
That kindness might pour forth abound
And songs of praise the only sound
So mold me by your righteous hand
That firm within Your truth I stand
And trusting all that you have planned
Your joy I sing throughout this land
[bctt tweet=”A glimpse of His Glory, the beauty of His Creation- Who am I, that He would love me so? Yet, He”]DOES. He Loves me with an everlasting Love so great that He doesn’t leave me where he found me. He is step by step transforming me. Ever so patiently and gently He is changing me into a vessel of His righteousness, overflowing with His Love and filled with His Joy. What wondrous Grace He has shown me. I am awed and humbled by His Grace. [bctt tweet=”I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE IN RETURN FOR ALL GOD HAS GIVEN. HE HAS CAPTURED MY HEART”]
