I’ll Reap What I Sow!

I’ve had many excuses for the way I’ve lived.

Many times, I expected God to forgive!

My life was filled with a lot of uncertainty.

I suppose I was trying to find a true security.

Though I often would God to forgive me…

There’d be another sin that would “trip” me.

I struggled at first, then wasn’t concerned.

I was expecting God’s grace at “every turn.”

The sins of the past would cause much shame.

There was no one else, by myself to blame.

I was sowing the consequences of the sin I’d sown.

And before I knew it, it crept into my home.

I got on my knees.  Before Jesus I confessed!

“How could my life turn into such a big mess?”

It was like I felt the presence of God around me.

It was like I felt his hand reach down and touch me.

I heard a voice speak to my life that same day.

And listened to what God really had to say.

He said he needed a life of commitment from me.

I needed not only forgiveness, but also to BE FREE!

I repented to God, and for the whole day I cried.

I really thought about why Jesus was crucified.

My life is different since Jesus took control.

I have a new peace and hope within my soul.

If godliness is sown…  An abundant life I’ll receive!

Through Christ, a new way of living can be achieved!

All glory to Jesus!  For his awesome loving power!

He’s changing my life!  Each passing hour!
