The Great Exchange

I'm doing an Exchange with Jesus
I'm doing an Exchange with Jesus

Trading in my toxins, trading in my pain
Trading in my stains for Your gain

Trading in my sorrows' and exchanging it
For Jesus unconditional love

Trading in my old life and
Exchanging it for new life

Trading in my pain
Has released me from my pain
To receive His love for me

Trading my despair
For His Care
Trading my sorrow's
Trading my sadness
For His Gladness

He washed my sins away
And Exchanged it for the Joy of the Lord
To be my strength for the day

I trade, I exchange All to You Jesus
My life, My kidney disease
I trade in every dark spot in me
And exchange it for Your Light
For Your unconditional Love for me.

I've done my exchange with Jesus
My friend is Jesus
Jesus can be your friend too
Just ask Him to be your friend
And He will come near to you today
And you will NEVER be alone again my Darling

I'll say we're privileged to make such exchanges with Jesus.  We give Him our trash and He gives us His loving best.

Great entry poem.

Welcome to the family of friends.

God bless,
  Rae

Thanks Rae,
I like that perpetive on it!
I'm a dialysis patient and have to do 4 exchanges a day and I believe God gave me a new revelation on how to look at life while doing this.
I like that word "trash" that's a good word.
Blessings to you
you have any writings I could read?
Elaine

Elaine,

Welcome to Passions!

I can well understand how a trial such as yours would bring you to not only a mental exchange with God, but also how to deal with life on a daily basis.

I hope you will continue to be strong in your faith, as well as in your health, and that what you might need, will come to you timely.

I will also be looking forward to reading many more poems of yours, both here in Spiritual and in other forums, as well.

Please check your email for a Very Special Greeting!

Dear Elaine,  I was so glad to read your poem here.  Welcome to our friendship circle.  What a wonderful way to spend what would otherwise be a very tiresome time.  Your enthusiasm is contagious.  Love, Joyce
