Author: Gods Greatness And Compassion

God has done great things for me. He's shown enormous compassion in my life. I want to thank and praise Him with this site

Guilt Free Blessings

I asked the Lord for x amount
And He gave x, y, and z
He went over the top and blessed abundantly
Beyond my imagination or need

Yet, sometimes I feel this I should not receive
As my behavior has not lived up to heavenly
My mind drifts back to remember when I did this or that
Yet my sins the Lord forgave and remembers not (Isaiah 43:35)

Besides God like to give good gifts just for the asking (Matthew 7:12)
And He’s removed the sin as far as east coast from west
So, I should forgive myself
And enjoy guilt free all blessings I get.

Old Blessings Are Still New

Old blessings are still new
For over and over the Lord’s mercies renew (Lamentations 3:22)
The things I prayed for years ago are still needed today
Yet, for so many new things I have to pray
New illnesses, deaths in families, and on and on
I would be overwhelmed with a prayer list so long
But the Lord is so full of mercy
He knows my limitations, and renews old blessings constantly

Yet, my thanks and praises to him have not been consistent
I tend to thank Him for the blessings that are recent
However, the old blessings are still very much relevant
And, them I never want to forget or take for granted
So, every now and then, I make time to meditate and reflect
How difficult life would be if I had to deal with both new and old things
So, from the bottom of my heart I thank God
That His mercies renew and old blessings are still new.

Healing

I feel fine, as well as can be
But that wasn’t always the case with me
I remember praying day and evening
For the Lord to bless me with His healing
Singing the words of Jerimiah 17:14

Doctors had said they couldn’t help me
That was news I couldn’t believe
No medicine, procedure, or surgery
Existed that could help me

This happened a few years ago
Today I happened to take a few minutes to give God thanks
I must admit I don’t pray as hard as I used to pray
But I never want to forget
What a merciful healing miracle for me He did
I couldn’t afford to leave work on disability
I begged that God miraculously heal me

Lord, I pause today to say thanks
And please extend your healing powers to others today
Who are not well or are in pain
What doctors and medicine can’t do
Can still be healed by You.
