Blood of Jesus

What I Remember

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment

I can’t remember growing so old

Or losing my hair

But they say that I’m there

I can’t remember not being young

To always run…oOh such fun!

But then I’ve walked with Him

Who gave breath to man

Who filled the oceans

And counted their sands

Who laughed at years

As they hurried past

His unchanged promise

That stands at last

And tonight I am tired

But not ready for sleep

And I still remember

How His love and truth

Which He gave by grace

His cross as proof

That my sins were paid

And my soul restored

So at the end of this night

I’ll awake with my Lord

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. Psalms 23:6 NKJV

Telling the Truth

My problem with telling lies was that one lie was never enough to stay out of trouble and my parents had an uncanny way of figuring out the truth! One of my most liberating discoveries was to realize that while the truth was not glamorous it carried the gold of peace in its handbag.

When I am finished with trying to appear holier or more successful than others God gives me a new opportunity to begin a journey with Him.

Jesus not only knows the truth about my situation but He is willing to walk with me and cleanse my heart from every lie. What a blessedness to simply be who we really are without excuse except the blood He shed. Other roads may look like they are paved with gold but the only way to the golden avenue is to walk right next to Jesus up the street we live on!
