The dimensions of one's life
Are determined from within,
It's not the outward circumstance
Nor the color of our skin.

No, it goes much deeper
And we all have our part to do,
To shape the Life God's given us
And find it's value true.

Whatever hand life's dealt us
God has His reasons for,
None are born just to lose out
But to struggle, to grow, to soar!

So oft' our worst enemy is within
And we do our own selves in,
Inspite of God's Grace and Mercy
We make ourselves allies of sin.

You don't need to be sin's victim
Or a pawn of the devil's schemes,
Look to the Word, by faith find God
And let Him decide your hearts dream.

Taking His guidance, follow His lead
Our Father knows best,what's for you,
Trust Him with all your being
And he will see you safe through.

The dimensions of our life
Are determined by us, within,
In partnership with God above
In the game of life, you CAN win!

David; How wonderfully true! Choices are ours to make, and we are given new ones constantly. I especially love this line..
"in partnership with God above".
Written wuth your usual flair and glorious inspiration. Thank you, once again, ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I like the title, message and style, David.  We're often opting for something when we think we have no option because we're looking at circumstances rather than our Lord.  Thank you.

It is assuring to know that in the game of Life, no matter what cards are dealt us (no bluffing)with Jesus we always win...  
A winning game plan you have with this one!
