God Asked A Question…  I Didn’t Know What To Say…

God asked a question.  It was just the other day.!

He asked; “have you taken time for me

 in what you do and say?”

I thought about this for a moment…

Then I cried and wept.

The promises I once made to God. 

 I no longer kept!

I remembered a time when my life

was sinking downhill fast.

No matter how much I tried,

I couldn’t forget the past!

I was at death’s door...  With the moments

of life, just a few.

I didn’t know “what in the world,” I was going to do!

One night I cried out loud in hopelessness and desperation.

I soon received a message with a heavenly visitation!

 Jesus appeared before me!  His hand touched my head!

I felt so much better!  I jumped out of bed!

I was so happy!  I cried and felt tears roll down my cheek!

I took time to spend with God all the rest of the week!

But as the months went by, my time

 with God was shortened.

Having time alone with him?. 

I didn’t feel this was “important.”

I now look back and think of what I was becoming…

I’m not sure if I’m ready for Christ’ second coming!

Lord Jesus, I kneel down, and come before your throne,

I ask you to be my Lord.  Of all my life and home!

I’m sorry Lord Jesus for the promises

 I made, but were broken!

“Please forgive me dear Jesus.” 

Are the words I have spoken!

You are the lord for me and I need

you more than ever!

I want to be with you and live in heaven forever!

You’re the one who’s blessed me! 

 Yes indeed!

You are me Lord and savior

and are all I ever need!
