All Is Never Lost

If the Lord...

Seen some of the best of my times, seen some of the worst of my times, but remembered my God through all of my times. There have been times that I have had to repeat my mantra of living, "If the Lord..." When I do that, I remember that someway, somehow, God will make everything alright. I never let myself give up on Him completely.

When my back is against the wall

And it seems that all I held dear is gone

I remind myself that I am not alone

That the Lord has the power to pick

Me up from my fall

As with faith and hope, Romans 8:28 I  recall.

Through It All

When I thought that I had lost my all, He showed me

My everything in the plans He had made for me

He reminded me that it is with limited vision that I see

And proceeded to show me just that in

The subsequent things that He let be.

"Cain't" Tell It All

The Lord is my Constant.  I cannot tell you all that I would about my Lord, but suffice it to say that I have never lost "all," as long as He has been the head of my life. Cannot tell you all that He has done for me. But I can tell you that He is my Rock of Ages, my Rose of Sharon, My Balm in Gilead.  He is my trailblazer when there seems to be no way out.

In short

He is my all in all

He has heard and will continue

To hear my trembling and feeble calls

And I can stand here and say that

Because He is my Constant

I have never lost my all.

I had not planned to do a poem for you this morning, just a bit of prose, but the Lord deemed otherwise.

Don't Quit 
By Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959)?

When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill...
Don't quit.
