In January I decided to trust what
you did for me Jesus
I chose to believe that you died
for me as payment for all my sins.
I willingly placed my faith in what
the scriptures said,
that you were crucified and buried
and then rose from the dead.
For me. In my stead.
In February my friend said the
Bible was a lie.
In March I read a book that
questioned whether you were real.
In April I began to doubt and in
May I struggled.
June tugged at me, July and August
burned me to the core.
September saw me losing my grip and
as
Winter returned I rejected your
gospel.
I died in December and awoke to see
you, Jesus.
I asked, “What am I doing here? I
have rejected your gift.”
And you said:
When you chose to trust in my faith, you were sealed,
Can the seed, deny it's fruit ?
Can the rain refuse to be wet or the fragrance of a flower
be an orphan?
When you chose me and believed, you were crucified with me
And yet you live. But it's not you that lives, it's me that lives in
you,
and you live by my faith
and I abideth faithful, I cannot deny myself.
You are my body, I cannot harm myself. Only your reward is at risk.
My gift of eternal life is yours.
You did not die in December. The year began and never ended.
