People change this I know is true and now I see a change in you.
You're much different than at the start for the change is your heart.
You're not the same as before you entered through Christ the Door.
You're anxious heart that did cease has been replaced with His peace.

Not a trace of being coy as God has filled you with overwhelming joy.
Just one look upon your face and you can see God's Awesome Grace.
No longer content to be self-willed as you have become Spirit filled.
Belief that is not just a mere token for your heart is truly broken.

And it is not broken because of sadness but from The Lord's gladness.
For God's Word says if you can hear it He desires a contrite spirit.
And just so that you can see He works through people like you and me.
It is the beginning of one more story adding to God's Eternal Glory.

No longer filled with selfish pride now God's love you can not hide.
Now through God's Glorious Salvation you have become a new creation.
God's Spirit sent from up above has filled you with a new found love.
On the cross He paid the price for you to share the Love of Christ.

Your heart is filled with desire to help men avoid the Eternal fire.
By pointing them to the cross so they will not suffer Eternal loss.
The reason for this new behavior is the debt we owe to The Savior.
Just like Paul it's our obligation to share with all God's Salvation.


He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation,  Bob Gott

(big angel hugs) Oh Bob, this touched me so deeply as I believe we cannot truly understand Him until we experience pain ourselves, dearest friend, I turned to Him after almost taking my life and now I feel like a free spirit that can give unto others! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This was very nice. I know I always say it, but I love reading these, because they bring such life. Brings me back to the place keeps me grounded, and remembering who is my source. Merry Christmas to you, and all you love!

Hello.. I really like this piece. I like the rhyme scheme and everything, but I also love the change that you describe. I'm so grateful that Jesus has helped me to undergo these changes. I have a few more to go, but I know they'll come. Good job.

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