Focus
Always
In
The One and Only
Hope

Now... if "faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see..."
 Why do I spend so much time
with my eyes focused on 'lil ole me?
Which then fills me with uncertainty,
  stealing away any hope,
Then "Me, Myself and I"
   find it impossible to cope.
"We" get all anxious and fearful
running aimlessly in despair,
Seeking out anyone or anything,
to show that they do care.
Then God graciously reminds me,
that He is holding me in His palm,
All that He asks is that I believe by faith...
so He can infuse me with calm.
How quickly I get sidetracked,
and forget that He hasn't left my side,
It is me that usually moves,
In Him I am to abide.
To fix my eyes on the invisible,
as I go about my day,
Fills me with His Hope and His Peace,
then I'm joyfully on my way,
I then can accomplish all things through Him,
who infuses me with His strength,
His love covering this heart of mine,
because He went to such great lengths.
He sent His Son to earth,
one glorious silent night,
Wrapped up in swaddling cloths,
this Babe came to make things right,
Knowing that my future is secure
in His gift of eternal life,
Believing this truth by faith
removes any strife.
So thank You God for this reminder...
You Penned in Hebrews 11:1,
Of the assurance of my hope,
that is wrapped in Your Baby Son!

His Glorious Peace for you,
Joni

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.'
Hebrews 11:1

You are not Alone T wo footprints...actually mine. How lonely they look upon the sand as I approach the ocean. The ocean...such beauty...
