Feeling Good
by Barbara Philbrook

Feeling good is an important thing,
due to the self worth and happiness it can bring.

Feeling good about the decisions we make,
feeling good even if one happens to be a mistake.

Knowing that we learn even though we've made an error,
not living in regret or collapsing in terror.

Accepting what we are unable to change,
though we consider it different or even a little strange.

Having the desire and strength to change what we can,
and the sense to ask God to show us His plan.

Striving to be the best at whatever we do,
not being affected by others point of view.

Being thoughtful and kind to those we've met,
and not causing others to be unhappy or fret.

Feeling satisfaction at the close of the day,
knowing we did not intentionally do wrong along the way.

Feeling good is important to me,
and since I've surrendered to God that's what I happen to be.

Feeling good because I let go and let God be in control,
and I know He loves me heart and soul.

You too will be claiming you are feeling good,
if you'll just surrender to God as He says you should.
