Where He Leads Me
~*Marge Tindal*~

Sometimes the path is dark
but He holds the light
that guides my footsteps steadily
until I've reached the heights
of the glory of His Kingdom~

He does not give up on me
when I would give up on myself
He holds my tears so tenderly
when I think there's no one left
Because He believes in me
... I can do no less~

He gives me others to lift
in the splendor of this day
As a friend it is my mission
that He has asked me pay
for I am not the only one in need~

When another of His children ache
I am bid to seek them out
He has a purpose for our paths to cross
of that ... there is no doubt~

So, in taking my hand ...
you also hold my heart
Together we will praise Him
in this friendship He has given
us to share~

Lord, thank you for showing me
the friend you expect me to be~

Oh, Marge, what a beautiful poem this is and the words at the end got me all choked with emotion.

God loves you so much ... hugs, Marti

"Because He believes in me

It's wonderful to know that the God of everything believes in our abilities. I'm sure that you are not disappointing him, my friend. Wonderful write.

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee

Marge - SOmetimes I think we get so wrapped in working out our own spiritual well being, we tend to forget about those around us.  Your poem was not only beautiful and well written, it is a cry out to God to help you touch others.  I know he will bless you for this.  By the way I am a sucker for poetry written as prayer, and I loved this one.  

Thank you - Tim

Friends~
I appreciate the kindness of the replies~

Sometimes I feel Him call on me to take the time to be a friend to one I may have unintentionally passed by ... it is my fervent prayer that I continue to do His work through reaching out to touch others~
And in His wisdom ... He knows that when the time comes,(it always does) I will be able to reach out for those same hands in friendship's need~

Again, I so appreciate the warmth of you all~

You are a friend to everyone in christ and you magnify God in your poems and your prayers. Because we can feel their power which is the power of God.
