When your faith is weak
it is up to you to seek.

This is the beauty of His loving care,
He wants only what your willing to share.

Free from guilt, free from shame
He loves you, just the same.

Blaming Him when life gives few,
keeps You from growing as you were sent to do.

Taking responsibility for who you are,
what you are, brings you closer to thee, not far.

When you say it is His fault, you give away your own power-
to change, to believe, you can become the most treasured flower.

When you succeed you are the first to say, Yes, that was me!
So how can you blame when things are not as they should be?

If your faith in Him is weak
so it be in You as we speak.

Julie great message! So true that when things go wrong many blame Him, but when things go right they certainly don't thank Him for it. "All good things, come from Above."

Denise, Echo: Thank you both. A message I hope to keep in mind as well. I heard someone say sometime ago that if we can take 100% responsiblity for the good things then we must for the not so good things. And that responsibility gives us confidence in God and in ourselves.

So true, Julie. Wonderful message. I am so glad to have found friends in you and the others here who have helped me to keep focus in times when my faith has wanted to waiver, though. For this, I thank Him and you... WhtDove, Denise and Echo, too, respectively.
