Gods Greatness And Compassion

He Is Indeed A Friend On Whom You Can Depend

He can dry the tears in your eyes
Bring a smile to your face
Even though you may be burdened with trials
He will make them seem so far away
He is indeed a friend
On Whom you can depend.

He has a way of working things out
So beyond human capabilities
Just when you think no change will come about
It will come beyond what could ever be perceived
He is indeed a friend
On Whom you can depend
And promises to be there to the end. Ma 28:20.

Jesus is not only a friend
He’s the propitiation for our sin
His life He did give
So in heaven we can live
When our time on earth does end
How wonderful to have a friend
On Whom you can depend!

He Always Picked Me Up

There were no training wheels on my first bike
And I didn’t even know how to ride
But my father was there to teach and guide
Until I learned he never left my side
While learning I fell many times
But he always picked me up and said keep trying

As I reflect on my ride through life
Some decisions I made were not good or right
I’ve have setbacks and falls
But from them all
God always picked me up
He’s such a wonderful One.

Revenge

I picked the date and time to execute the message of revenge
Had the email ready just needed to press send
But before the revenge time came,
I heard God telling me to refrain
Cause even though I felt deceived and disrespected
This is a relationship that’s got to be protected

He reminded me that it seems you don’t need this person now
But life can change in seconds
And if you caused a rift due to revenge
On this person you may not be able to depend
So for now the email you should rescind

Refrain? This is so hard to do
When someone you trusted has so disrespected you
You want to tell them a thing or two

I was reminded to hold my peace, as they’ll come to me again
Will it be with deceit? or will an apology they extend?
Whichever way, at that time get it straight
But revenge right now don’t initiate, just cool off and wait
Vengeance is the Lord’s , He’ll repay (Romans 12:19).

Insight

It’s our human nature to wanna strike back at someone who does us wrong. But striking back can lead to the end of a relationship. This can be significant if the relationship is between close friends or relatives. So before striking back, consider the permanent effects of enacting revenge.
