Day 12 Poem: Sweet Revenge

Sweet Revenge

 

God, I ask You not to destroy,

my enemies, but to give them joy,

to bless them, give them everything

their hearts desire, keep building

their spirits into Your Son's image.

Let their blessings be without limits.

 

Yes, I admit revenge sound so sweet,

the game they played was no treat.

 

Lord, You said love your enemies turn the other cheek,

give me Your unbreakable strength where I am fragile and weak.

You are the one even satan could not beat,

You welcomed even Your enemies to Your feast.

 

I want to move on, forward, live.

Oh what sweet revenge to show them I forgive.

 

By Annie Laurie Gray

Today's Thoughts Oct. 2

Today, I prayed about my health, a few hours later I'm checking out the gym the town called Max Fitness. I'm pretty sure I'm going to join.

This is still along the line of changes like yesterday's "Today's Thoughts"

I know changes is coming, it's part of life.  So I pray for blessings and leave my life in God's hands.  He can create a better life then I can.  He's better at creating a new day and I prefer He be in control then me. 

Does this mean I wouldn't try to control my life? No.  Most likely I'll try to take control of it in 5 minutes or least after leaving this computer.
 But then hopefully I'll pray again for God to take control.

A life with God is scary but a life without Him is even more scary to me.

Today's Thoughts Oct. 1st

Today I posted about being content but then realized lately I haven't been content with my life.  I fall into the world's trap again of thinking my life need to be a curtain way. (I wrote the post a few weeks ago but planned to post it today)

It's October 1st.  I can feel the changes in the air. Every year I think it's more then just the cool air bring winter.

I always prayed for change. Last year in November change came but not the kind I hoped for. (More about that in a later post)  This year I'm going to change my prayer, instead of praying for change I plan to pray for blessings.
