Something
Better
by
Barbara Philbrook
When I
accepted Jesus as my savior I didn't get wealth beyond
measure,
no I got assurance that I am saved a far more perfect
treasure.
I received
an indwelling teacher a renovator and a guide,
I received a helper a translator and a monitor for my
pride.
I was not
made into a beauty for the world to behold,
but my hopes for the future are more beautiful than ever
can be told.
My singing
voice is still one that can hurt even the untrained ear,
but the singing that goes on within my heart assures me
that God is near.
My stature
would not attract even the smallest modeling agency,
but the renovations taking place within are there for my
Lord to see.
I have no
sense of rhythm and can not keep a beat,
but there is no temptation that will come my way that the
Lord and I can't defeat.
I'll never
be in the movies or become a TV star,
but the things that God has in store for me are more
significant by far.
The
treasures that can be had in this world may be important
to some you see,
but my Heavenly Father offers something better to me.
What you
see here may seem attractive to you,
but ask Him into your heart and something better is what
will be given to you.
God
created this world and all that is in it then He
created man,
and you can have your earthly riches or you can take part
in his salvation plan.
Yes I do
have something better and so dear friend can you,
the choice is yours to make and I am praying that is what
you will do.
