‘For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self control.’ ( 2 Timothy 1:7)
‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’ ( Acts 17:28)
Times of change,
Challenges abound;
Do I fear?
At any age,
I hear of
Courage with a C
But there is a C
Cancer which oft
may counter Courage
How do I face it?
Fight or flight ;
Combat or surrender
The only way I see it,
Trust in His Spirit
Of power , love and self control!
He is ever near,
Holds us in his loving arms,
As a Father to a son
Am I willing to share this pain
With him on the cross
As grace in abundance flows
Accept with courage
And when unbearable
Surrender
‘into your hands, Lord’
And take each day as a gift
Not forgetting
‘To live is Christ and
To die is gain ‘
I am assured that its better to surrender into His loving arms at all times, as
‘In him we live and move and have our being’ (Acts 17:28)
