Do Not Lose Heart

1–2 minutes

 

What is it about me that sets me apart,
That makes me downcast, and troubles my heart?
Could it be knowing some are headed in the wrong direction?
Not willing to accept our Fathers love and correction?
I sense something amiss and it goes very deep,
To the depth of my soul, which causes me to weep.

It must be the enemy who’s been busy at work,
Digging pits, making snares, accusing the brethren with a smirk.
To trip up Gods children, and deceive whom he can,
So that he can get even with the Son of man.

Distracting us from God is his primary goal,
By any means possible to steal away our soul.

So now when I ponder that which sets me apart,
I take hold of Gods Word, which causes me NOT to lose heart.

Written by Susan Morgan 2018

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes: but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Proverbs 16:2 (KJV)

Who so loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. Proverbs 12:1 (KJV)

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)

Therefore, since we have this ministry,  as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1 (NKJV)

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him. Psalm 4:3 (NKJV)
