Make Me A Blessing

As my assurance grows fuller, I am having not to focus my energy on my doubting. I lead the church service at the County Home. My message was about blessings such as found in the Sermon on the Mount. I thought of being a blessing. I still work through panic attacks. I've learned to face, focus, and work through them. I am encouraged as I don't need the medicine to meet these attacks. I can now put my energy into being a blessing. There's a thought that as we focus on a goal, a part of us will try and make it true. I've decided for my goal to be "Glorify God, enjoy Him forevermore. To touch lives and keep myself pure." My homepage shares the new poem on this thought.

Blessings from the Poet

Promises

In looking back at my poetry, I realized it is truth that has lead me to assurance. It was about promises that I knew and received from God. My faith has brought me to a spiritual rest and trust. This gift of trust is necessary to touch lives with confidence and conviction. God is good and ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy unto all that call upon Him. Hebrews Chapter four describes the blessedness of this faith rest and I have not fallen short of it. I am confident I can come to Christ with boldness of faith. He also is blessing me with answer to prayer. It is a delight to call upon Him for the good of others. Seeing God at work is truly great riches.
I used to define success by money received. I now know true riches is answered prayer, as lives are changed for God's glory. Prosperity has nothing to do with money. The church at Smyrna was rich even though it had great poverty. Sometimes being chastened by persecution can lead to knowing great riches. For the trying of our faith worketh patience, let patience have it's perfect work. That we may be entire and wanting nothing. Truly I am rich as I dwell on God's goodness to me.
