Love Them No Matter What

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.

Losing & Regaining Joy

Don’t let the devil cause you to lose your joy (Ephesians 4:27)
You’ve been down this wrong path before
Don’t lash out at others with your tongue (James 3:8)
As it may ruin relationships and leave you alone
Keep calm even though a lot going wrong
The sun will burst through the clouds in awhile
And and you’ll regain joy and smiles.

Fire The Envy

They’re having more fun than me – – it seems
I wanna do what their doing, have what they have
I was happy with what the Lord gave to me
Until I see what others have now I’m not happy (Exodus 20:17)
What causes these types of feelings?

It was an old saying, on the other side grass is more green
And, it seems that way when you lose focus on your own blessings
If God gave you exactly what you were asking
And instead of being thankful; to others you are comparing
Then, God’s blessings you are not appreciating
You’re being envious of others instead of celebrating

While there is always going to be others with more prosperity
Yet, there are still others who wished they had the blessings God bestowed on me
So, I need to fire the envy
And focus and rejoice on what God has given me.
