The Garden Of Graces: Way Of Life Decisions!

I Sowed Seeds Of Kindness
Love And Tenderness
And
Wonderfully They Grew!
I Also Thoughtlessly Sowed Seeds Of 

Bitterness
Hate And Envy, Too
And
Would You But Know It
Bitterness Hate And Envy
Grew Gargantuan Large
And
Sought To Boldly Strangle
My Cherished Kindness Love And Tenderness
And
Realizing Its Error

My Poor Heart Was Aghast!

I Despised Bitterness!
I Hated Hate!
I Deplored Envy
And
These Three I Sought To Obviate
Because
Left Unchecked
Or Simply Ignored
They Act Like Hungry Climbers
Seeking A Mountain Top
So I Had To Find Their Roots
And
Give Them The Malicious Chop!

Bitterness Was Downright Dodgy!
Hate With Hat Tricks Has Sought Often
To Trip Me Up
And
Envy
With Its Electric Persona
Had Expressed Fulminating Desire
To Cook Fry Broil
Burn Me Up!

I Was In A Quandary!
I Was A Straight Betwixt Two!
I Was Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
And I Knew ... Then
That Only Jesus Christ Could Would Save Me!

The Question Must Be Asked ...

Would I Of Necessity And Heartfelt Love

Willingly Bend To The Higher Power
Or
Would I Lie Down With The Enemy!?!
Would I Fall On The Rock Of My Salvation
And
Be Broken
To Be Forever Saved
Or
Would I Cultivate Damnable Pride
And
End Up Being ... To Known Sin
A Marked For Eternal Death Slave!?!

Woe Is Me!

Decisions!
Decisions!
Way Of Life Decision Collisions! 

I Saw The Light ...

Desire To Live With The Almighty God

Forever

In Perfect Peace
Made The Only Decision Left For Desperate Me:

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus!

I Surrender The Old Man To Thee! 

Come Into My Life, Lord Jesus

And

Cause The Devil's Known Henchmen To Flee!

I Prostrated My Self
My Heart
My Will
My Way
My Body
My Soul
My Spirit
Before The God Of All Grace
My Savior
My Redeemer
And
Pleaded For Relief
To Get Rid Of The Roaring Raging Schemer!

There Was The Battle Royale
The Grudge Match
The Winner Take All Play-Off

And
The Cage Match
I Thought I Was Sunk
Until
I Gladly Remembered
Who Died To Save Me

And
Who Was Interceding For Me

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
I Surrendered ... Completely!

There Was To Be No Mrs. Lot Look-Back Action From Me
And
That Is When I Saw
My Victory Over Sin In Christ Jesus
And
Bitterness Hate And Envy
From My Garden Of Graces
Had To, Had To, Flee!

I. Was. Free.

Thank You, Very Much!

From Then On ...

I Meticulously Prayerfully Tended
My Fruit Of The Spirit!
Everything Planted There Was Meticulously Observed
And 

I Meticulously Followed The Directions
Given Me By My Master
My Lord And My God
And
From Then
Under The Prompting Of 

The Holy Spirit Of The Living God
I Walk Holy
Because, BecauseI Am Striving For The Promised Glory
And
The Untold Blessings
Awaiting The People Of 

The God Who Is Truth And Righteousness
In The Great Reward!

I, By Almighty God's Great Grace

Am D.O.N.E. Finished

With The Ways Of 

The Damned-For-All-Eternity Fraud!

Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Praise God!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!
