A Check
List
by
Barbara Philbrook
There are
some people who have a check list of all of the things
they should say or do,
they are running through it constantly trying to Measure
Up in God's view.
I'm so
grateful to have a Savior who takes care of all of that
from inside,
as a matter of fact that is what regulates my pride.
There is
no way I could measure up to even the most minor point on
God's great list,
so I just surrender daily and in no way do I resist.
Each day I
offer my self to serve Him in every way,
I do this each morning as I kneel to pray.
The
thoughts I think and the deeds I do,
the words I speak and the things I choose to view.
I am not
capable of even one good deed,
but by surrendering to God we together can succeed.
I am so
grateful that I need no list to gaze upon,
for it would discourage me and make my life appear
forlorn.
It would
take my eyes for a time off of my loving Savior,
and in so doing effect my behavior.
No there
is no list that would be too depressing,
I just exercise my faith and know that Jesus and I are
progressing.
Thank You
Heavenly Father for allowing me to know,
that it is not on my strength alone on which I am allowed
to grow.
