Things seen are temporal, but in Faith seek out things Eternal

because more times do, than not...see no light at the end of the tunnel.

The same with the chastening.....received.

seems like a must, for ones ever stumbling.....

may even ask God, "why do YOU keep putting up with me".........

said that years ago in a Church, 'n people cracked up laughing !

The hardest thing is ...when know am wrong......

have endlessly said "forgive me"...by sent letters, or on the phone.....

most all forgave.....except a few that expressed scorn....

'n rejection .....is as being pierced in the heart, by a jagged sharp thorn.

Also years ago....was another applied thorn......that left a scar....

for in a presented BIBLE .....James 4:3 was very clearly marked.....

knowing who purchased the Book.....broke the heart.

Then there is the remembrance of former days...

enduring a great fight of afflictions taking place...

alot of talk by others continued ...as if this soul had gone astray.....

even as years have passed..... by a few....talk still is as one to degrade.

Did not sit 'n type for self ....but to encourage anyone that can relate....

"Humble" yourself before the LORD......'n watch greater things take place !

"Seek 'n Walk in HIS WAYS".....'n for definite, will come change.

The change that will come about.......

will be in the REALNESS OF thy GOD.....

that never forsakes HIS already known plan for a child !

Learn that nothing is IMPOSSIBLE for HIM....

would had lived a life of bitterness....without HIM...

but HE changes all of that...when one truly seeks HIM...

HE is a Healing GOD....of all scars within !
