He Gave So Much

 

He only asked for space the world could only focus on his face

He gave so much of himself he never asked for much from us

Just some time to be alone 

So he could find out who he really was

He gave of his youth he spoke of love he spoke of truth

He gave so much to all he knew he never asked for much

Just some time to to get to know the man he really was

He searched the world for his true love

But the world would not let him be

He gave so much and asked for for little in return

Just some time to get to know the man he really was

He lived his life the best he could

Yet the world could not let him be

To spend some time with those he loved

He gave so much of himself

Yet the world wanted more

No time to sleep no time to weep

He was always thinking of a way to heal the world

A world who always wanted more of him

He didn't ask for much

Just some space to figure out who he really was 

He gave up youth he gave his time

He looked for love around the world

He only asked for some time

Yet the world could not let him be

The world could only ask why he changed his face

They couldn't give him what he asked

Just a little time and space

So he could seek his one true love

The one he could hold and keep

The one he longed to share his hopes and dreams

No he didn't ask for much

For all he gave with no return

Just for us to give him  time

To figure out who he really was

Now the heavens he does sleep

Where time and space is his to keep

Here the world does weep

For a man that gave so much

And asked for little for himself

A Daily Struggle

"He that cometh to me shall never hunger."  John 6:35b

A promise from the "Lord one we can count on, unlike the promises of man!

 "God keeps his promises he is honor bound by them as long as man keeps his commandments.

So what does that mean? Does it mean that "God will not honor his promises if man doesn't keep the commandments he gave? Awwe that is a tricky question indeed.

One that I have been pondering with in my own heart, I have tried to honor the commandments at times I have failed but I still keep on trying none the less. It's never easy making  the right choices it's a learning phase of trails and errors.

Just like the waves of an ocean they come upon the shores washing away the foot prints left in the sands, so does the love of "God  as he to washes away our errors.

"He that cometh to me shall never hunger" we can come to "God and ask all the questions we want, he in turn will feed not only our spirits but our minds as well.

"The word of the Lord endureth forever." 1 Peter 1:25a "Gods words were not meant to last for only a season but for all eternity. "Gods promises are ones we can relay on he doesn't make promises he doesn't intend to keep.

If man follows "Gods commandments "God will keep his promises, if man does not then "God is not bound to any promise that doesn't mean he won't keep them it simply means he isn't bound by them.

More times than not "God keeps his promises regardless if man keeps his commandments, he loves us that much that he over looks our errors. Don't get me wrong there are times in our lives we wonder why things are not going our way.

Or why things seem to be falling apart, ask yourselves is that when you are not completely following "Gods law? I have found that to be the case in my own life, when I am having the hardest time is when I am not following "Gods law.

It only stands to reason that one can't break the law and expect to be rewarded for it! So why would we expect "God to reward our bad behavior?

It's my opinion and mine alone that I feel that "God will keep his promises depending on the severity of the broken commandment more importantly how remorseful is the offender. I know from personal experience that "God has been good in keeping his promises when I have repented for the offense.

I am not perfect I will make mistakes I may even repeat the same ones over again, I can only hope that I do not but if and when it does I know I can come to the "Lord and ask for his guidance and his forgiveness.  

I can only pray that "God will be like that of the waves upon the ocean coming upon the shores and washing away the foot prints in the sands. That he will show me some grace by washing away my sins so that I can have a clean  fresh start.

I can't expect him too reward me in any way shape or form when I know I have not kept his commandments! No I can only hope for leniency and pray that I learn from my mistakes I don't hold "God to any promise.

I allow him to have his free will as he has done so with me, not many folks will admit to that but it's true I don't expect anything from the "Lord if he chooses to bless me I am good with it if he chooses not to again I am good with it, it has to be his choice.

I honestly don't want to hold any one including "God to a promise, I want the gifts to be just that a gift from the heart a because kind of gift not a well I promised so therefore I will. I will continue to strive to do my best to keep "Gods law

It's not easy it's a daily struggle some days I loose and other day's I win the battle! One thing I will hold the "Lord to is him never leaving me to always walk beside me I can't do this journey alone I know I need him with me seven twenty-four.
