Author: Gods Greatness And Compassion

The urgent agonizing plead for money
Makes you wonder why the need
Wondering if they are really hurting
Or are old habits resurfacing

Know there was an addiction before
But they claim it is no more
And you see the cleanliness
And don’t want to contribute to a relapse mess

What if I gave and it went to a relapse?
What if I don’t give and there’s a genuine medical lack?
The Bible says judge not (Luke 6:37)
But you have to use judgement
You don’t want to feed the addiction
But you don’t want to deprive of medical attention

So, how to come to a decision?
When being torn over giving
I look to follow Solomon’s lead (1 Kings 3:9)
And ask God to instill wisdom in me
So that I can have an understanding heart
And give, but not in away to help the problem restart.

You plant seeds of wisdom and goodness and watch them grow
They are so darling when they’re little
You pray they can reach maturity
Exceeding all your hopes and dreams

But along the way, they go astray
And won’t grow your envisioned way
On them should you give up?
No.  Love them no matter what

All life is in God’s hands (Psalm 23:1)
And to love one another is His command ( John 13:34)
Think about you, no matter what you did
God allowed you to repent
And He showed His love again and again.
Isaiah 49:15 -Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Matthew 18:22 – Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
