Doubt Not

By Jan Phillips

I do not doubt God
For he is the Great I AM
He can do all things
In spite of man

He knew before
That His son would die
And He did it anyway
He does not lie

I doubt myself
Because He gave me freewill
Knowing what I would do
I know not still

Could I give up all things earthly?
For a God so good?
I hope so
Do you think I should?

God set up boundaries
Which He can cross
If He so desires
And it’s no great loss

I don’t know what I’m prepared to give
To save a life even His
Could I give a grandchild if He asked me to?
I don’t know, it’s a quiz.

I’m not as loving as my God
He gave His Son for mankind’s sake
I doubt what I would do
I guess I’m a real flake

I think I better get on my knee
And pray that God can forgive me
For not loving Him enough
And being too blind to see
That the only doubt is within me

Strong observation and something to ponder, what would we really be able to sacrifice to honor God's Love for us?
Could we really walk the talk?
Ask myself all the time, pray about it constantly...
Have we faced our greatest trials to come into belief...?
Or are they yet to come?
Hmmmmm...
Could we ever do, what Abraham was prepared to do, without a doubt or question?

good thought provoking piece,
God Bless.

Words to ponder for sure.
Knowing how we love our children and grandchildren
helps us to understand just how great a sacrifice God made
to send His own Son to die for us.

God gives us the strength we need when we need it.
