You Are Called
Forth
by
Barbara Philbrook
You are called
forth beckoned by Me,
invited to live for eternity.
You don't choose
it that's not your part,
simply believe and invite Me into your heart.
I was aware
since before your conception,
you'd see the truth and there would be reception.
Don't hold back
waiting for the changes to be made,
that's simply a trap the enemy has laid.
You can't do the
changing it's done from within,
after you've accepted salvation it can begin.
It was not you
who sought to find Me,
I've been planning it since time began you see.
I knew who would
accept My salvation plan,
and how I should shape them with My own hands.
I knew who would
serve and what they would do best,
and I gave them the grace to pass every test.
I use every
incident they go through,
to make them fit for the work I intend them to do.
I hear their
praises offered up to Me,
those offered during times of affluence or
calamity.
Praises offered
during good times are nice,
but nothing compared to those caught in Satan's vise.
When one can be
suffering and still praise Me,
not for, but in spite of all of their adversity.
It touches My
heart in a very special way,
and they will know how much on Judgment Day.
You have been
called forth now what will you do,
acceptance or rejection it's up to you.
