LET GOD TAKE THE LEAD

LET GOD TAKE THE LEAD Have you ever come To the end one the one year- And the beginning of a new? Or decided you are Going to be a NEW AND IMPROVED Version of yourself In some area of your life It isn't easy to see it through It isn't easy to be an all new and improved Version of ourself That's WHEN we need God To help us-and LEAD the way And he won't let us down Let God TAKE THE LEAD In your life and follow closely “I will sprinkle CLEAN WATER Upon you to cleanse you........ And PLACE a new spirit within you Taking from your bodies Your stony hearts And giving you NATURAL HEARTS” Ezekiel 36:25-26 “CREATE in me a PURE heart- O God And RENEW a steadfast spirit Within me” Psalm 51:10 When I was younger and healthier And could play sports I always tried to improve These days I cannot do that But I try EVERY DAY To renew my spirit=to get CLOSER To God To try and be the best person That I can be But I have to tell you I CANNOT do it alone I let God=I let Jesus= TAKE the lead-and I follow As close as humanly possible (at least I try to) Why not Let God take the lead In your life too? Let him CARRY THE BURDENS Of your life “EVEN to your old age And gray hairs I am he I am he Who will SUSTAIN YOU I have made you I will carry you I will sustain you And I will RESCUE YOU” Isaiah 46:4 “CARRY each others burdens And in this way You will FULFILL the law of Christ” Galatians 6:2 YES let God take the lead- HELP HIM help others Carry their burdens If you are strong And instead of trying to FIX yourself up Maybe it is a good time To let God fix you too To let God and Jesus FIX your defective parts For I know=as much as I/we don't want to admit it We ALL have them Let us go in For an EXTREME MAKEOVER by God And let him fix us up I know with me He will have his hands full How about with you? Let us LET GOD TAKE THE LEAD Dear Lord=transform me-transform us Into whatever you want us to be “Do NOT conform To the pattern of this world But be TRANSFORMED By the RENEWING of your mind Then you will be able to test And approve what God's will is -HIS good-pleasing-and PERFECT WILL” Romans 12:2 I think REAL CHANGE REQUIRES total effort and TOTAL SURRENDER To God We acknowledge We can't improve TOTALLY On our own That it takes you Dear God And Jesus our Lord TAKING THE LEAD Robert P.
