What
Jesus Gives
by
Barbara Philbrook
What does
Jesus give to those who accept His gift of salvation?
He gives so much more than any ever seen in our
imagination.
And the
amazing part of it all,
everything comes in the package deal when on His name you
call.
The faith
to believe, the power to receive,
the strength to grieve and the peace that does relieve.
These are
just a few of the blessings Jesus does bestow,
as to His altar you and I willingly go.
Every time
there was something I needed from my loving Savior,
I would plead with Him, now I see that was such silly
behavior.
Once I
accepted Jesus and surrendered to Him,
all of the benefits of salvation immediately did begin.
No need to
beg for the outpouring of the Spirit,
I did and then cried because I thought Jesus didn't hear
it.
No all of
that is included you see,
so great is the love God has for you and me.
We must
recognize it's a part of the salvation plan,
part of the gift already given to every man.
We must
receive it or claim it and expect it's arrival,
the contents of the package assures our survival.
Every
aspect will be revealed at precisely the right time,
trusting in Jesus instead of worrying can be so sublime.
Oh I'm not
saying there will never be sadness or sorrow,
but we won't be crushed, we'll be looking toward heaven's
tomorrow.
Knowing
the full rewards in the salvation plan,
helps us remember we are held in Gods own hand.
Provisions
have been made for our every need,
so come on world, with God's grace we will succeed.
What Jesus
gives allows us peace of mind,
as we face life's most trying times.
