'Tonight I Came Back To Him' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Tonight my soul ached from within
For my heart and life were overflowing with sin…

Sin of resentment, bitterness, feeling guilty, and lonely
Yet deep within my heart, still longs for Jesus only…

Satan would have me believe that new hope shall never arrive
And that there will be no joy within
As long as I am still alive….

Blinded by tears and pain
Feeling the wounds left from trying to make it on my own
Falling for the untruth that things will never be better
Even though by sins, and failure in Him, I have spiritually grown…

Tonight I give you my sins Lord, my resentment,
My bitterness too, and I know
That you will take me back gladly
Lord, as straight into your arms I shall go…

Thank you for holding me up as I felt faint
Lord, teach me how to endure all sorts of things
Things that cause me to be disoriented, and exhaust me
Oh father: “I rejoice that I am back
Near you now” for beside you I feel so free! …

Thought for the day:
If we give up Satan will be the champion
Let us make him squirm in the pain and sorrow
And feelings of hopelessness that he has created! …
