Misguided
by
Barbara Philbrook
Father I
was misguided somehow I'd been led astray, I had
mistakenly
thought that to get to heaven I could earn my way.
Your word
says that the way to You, of which there is only one,
is through our believing in your precious Son.
I was told
as a child that to get "Home" there was a job
for me to do,
I spent so many years trying to find just what job I
should do for you.
Oh I'm not
complaining, the road I've traveled has taught me much,
and there have been so many lovely people with whom I've
come in touch.
I've met
legalists who believe that the law is the most important
part,
Lord I pray you will soften each and every heart.
I've met
people who thought once they prayed that they could never
be lost,
that prayer earned them salvation andthere was no further
cost.
There are
people who think there is a stairway to climb,
earning their way up, one level at a time.
There are
so many different beliefs, it's amazing to me,
and yet Jesus, your Son says it so clearly.
"I am
the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the
Father but by Me",
just open up your Bible and look in John 14:6, it is
there to see.
We can not
change our sinful condition we are unable to,
once we invite Jesus in He starts all of the renovating
that is due.
Read in
Corinthians 15:31, it states clearly there,
we must surrender or die daily to God in prayer.
Misguided
once but now on the right track with you,
may others also hear your invitation and accept it too.
