The poem below one I shared with my fellowship on my birthday last year, as stated in the blog entry 'Sharing As I Journey Through.'  Be blessed!


TRIALS IGNITE THE PRAISE

Janice S Ramkissoon

 
The cloud’s no longer there!
I'm making good decisions!
How did I get here?
Doing things with precision?

Oh Yes!  Your voice I hear:

Giving me clear directions.

Gone are all my fears,

You give me protection.

Why should I be afraid?

Why should the shadows reappear?

How can I have you always there—

Yet choose to live in fear?

How wrong it would be

Refusing to hear from thee—

Then crying: "Lord, hear my plea!

I really need to hear from Thee”

So today I choose to praise You;

Lifting up Your Holy name—

I will not let my trials

Keep me from giving you the praise.
