The wonder and glory
of a soul at peace
at last,
all the pain and confusion
surrendered now.
Forgiven!
Lord the hardest of all,
self forgiveness,
for this you've granted
the grace so needed.
The great storm has passed,
bringing bright clear vision,
to this heart restored,
Knowing
the path is clear,
for You lead the way.
Faith now in Your guidance
of this soul,
who is filled with
the Grace of rightousness,
and at rest in eternal
thanksgiving,
of Jesus' cleansing Love!
< !signature-->

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

Hi Ellie,
  Your so on target with this beautiful poem. Just whenever we let go and give it
all to Him, we know by the peace which comes, settling us.  Praising God for your victory, so wonderfully written about in giving praise & honor to our loving Saviour.

thank you for the "miss", the days away brought a refreshing. thank you.  marcy

Ellie oh it's so great when the sun shines after that storm isn't it?
We may not see it while in it, but oh the serenity afterwards. Thank God for always pulling us through!

Well put thoughts!

Ellie,

Thankyou.  This was like a "balm of Gilead" to me.  I really needed this one.  Beautiful in thought and in form.

Ellie~
Just a lovely presentation of forgiveness.

When God forgives us ...
which He always does if we ask ...
then we need to truly forgive ourselves.
Why, if I'm good enough for Him ...
I'm good enough for me !
He believes in me ...
cause I believe in Him !


What a thought !

Ellie,

This is wonderful!!!  Forgiveness is truly divine.  We should follow His example I think.  Great writing!
