Just Past the Bend

When I couldn't walk, You held me. When I could only crawl, You carried me. When I tried to walk, I fell and stumbled. Then You picked me up, and let me lean on You. Though it took me longer, than most to learn to walk. You never complained, You were never upset. I still fall from time to time, but it's never far. Thanks to Your hand, holding mine. Though I don't run as wildly, as many do. It's because I know how it hurts, to fall away from You. I just wanted to say, Thank You, Lord. For everything You've done, and too tell You, I love You. May I never forget, how far You've brought me. Lead on Lord JESUS, Lead on...  http://justpastthebend.blogspot.com/

Sometimes our test, seems to be too long, But to quit before completion would just be wrong. Oh, there has been times,  we've given it thought.  In valleys so deep,  waist high in distraught. At those moments our enemy whispers, "Why go on"? "Give up fool, you're all alone"! "There is no one coming, to help you through"? "Just give up, and go back to what you used to do"! It's at those moments, when we want to regress. Just remember one scripture, that still says it best. " I am with you always, to the very end of the age ". That's not just the spiritual moments, but all of our days. We haven't been forgotten, Nor left by the road. Sometimes a test is heavier, than a regular load. You've walked through test, In days gone by.  Overcoming the enemy,  Though he did try.  But be not deceived into thinking, that it was you who carried it all.
