*.*Despite The Trials*.*

I’ll continue loving God despite the trials
Despite the pain the sorrows and Satan’s many wiles.
I’ll never forget all God’s done in my life
Not the least of which is helping me to face the strife.



I’ll never forget what feeling unloved did to me
And the joy I felt learning I was loved unconditionally.
I’ll never forget the pain of crying my self to sleep
Feeling so unworthy and full of defeat.



Then one day my eyes were opened and I could see
God the Father loved even one such as me.
I’ll never forget having been forgiven of my sin
Or the way it felt inviting Jesus to come



I’ll never forget the new me being born
Or learning I forever and always have a Savior to count on.
I’ll never forget having prayers answered by God
Or feeling Him beside me over the steps I’ve trod

. .

Once there hadn’t been a day in my life I didn’t feel odd
Yet there was one who accepted me just as I was.
Not only accepted me but showed me I have worth
That He had a reason for placing me on this Earth.



Until I’ve fulfilled my destiny Satan done what’s mine to do
There’s nothing at all I have to fear from you.
My love for God is one thing you can’t defile
No matter the hardship and despite the trials!

Trusting God and His Word!
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but
God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
