Topic: BLESSED (03/07/19)
As I look back, I see from where I have come.
My sins were as scarlet, I felt empty and undone.
Then I looked up to my only hope.
I knew this was the only way I would be able to cope.

My life was desolate and there was no meaning.
It took God's love to free me.
My prayer was, "Dear Lord," come what may,
Please show me the way.

Along with the prayers were many tears,
And through the years.
There had been many unanswered questions and many fears to face.
Then I found forgiveness through Christ under God's Grace.

God's Love comes through our Savior,
With His unmerited favor.
God Himself came in the flesh to present to us His ideal solution,
By giving us His Son, Jesus Christ, for our Salvation.

Only by God's mercy, this is the secret I have found in life.
During the times of tribulation and strife,
It's to trust and obey,
Even when you feel afraid.

Through perseverance,
God will make a way and give you clearance.
But sometimes misunderstood,
Is just believing if only I could?

It's making a commitment to obey,
Even when you still feel afraid.
Be strong in the Lord, be brave.
This day the Lord has made.

Yes, I am blessed but not without trials and tests.

I really relate to the realization that looking to God is the only way I can cope. We all have circumstances at some point where we need to recognize that.

It would flow better if your lines were more even in rhythm.

Great message.

This is quite lovely. The emotions are powerful and I felt like I really knew the MC. I did notice you switched voices, starting with I and then occasionally switching to the universal you. Since this is such an intimate piece, I'd urge you to keep the first person voice. For example Even when I feel afraid feels more powerful to my ears than you. It makes me feel like I'm right in the same room with the MC listening to the MC share a journey. This is a beautiful love story between the MC (and also each individual reader) and her Savior. Well done.
