My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Family Concerns

      Abba....What do you want me to do about my family?

       YOU MEAN HOW DO I WANT YOU TO SAVE THEM?...BE THEIR SAVIOR?. 

 Ok....You're funny....I get it... 

DO YOU?...YOU HEAR MY WORDS BUT DO YOU LISTEN AND RECEIVE MY WILL? 
YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO THEM ..BEAR THE BURDEN AND NOT LET MY GRACE TAKE IT 
FROM YOU....NOT GIVE THEM OVER TO ME AND SO IT WEARS YOU DOWN... MAKES YOU 
ANXIOUS AND WORRIED... YOU PRAY AND THEN LOOK FOR THE RESULTS AND WHEN 
THEY DON'T COME AS YOU WANT THEM TO COME, YOU FRET AND FEEL YOU'RE A FAILURE 
AND THEN ANXIOUSLY TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING DIFFERENTLY

.How do I change Abba? It does feel like a burden...weighs heavily on me....

YOU HAVE HEARD OF THIS CONCEPT BEFORE.  "DIVINE PROVIDENCE"...I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES...
I KNOW THEM BETTER THAN YOU...I LOVE THEM MORE THAN YOU....I KNOW THEIR THOUGHTS,..
DESIRES....I ALLOW EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THEM AND USE IT IN THEIR LIVES .. YES 
THEY ARE STILL FREE TO RESPOND OR NOT JUST AS YOU ARE BUT MY GRACE IS MADE MORE 
POWERFUL WHEN YOU JOIN WITH ME BY YOUR PRAYERS... THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF FREE WILL 
AND GRACE,..AND THIS IS WHY SO MANY ARE LOST BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO PRAY FOR THEM,..SO PRAISE AND THANK ME FOR MY PROVIDENTIAL CARE FOR THOSE ON YOUR HEART...LET MY LOVE AND MERCY 
WORK IN AND ON THEM...GIVE ME YOUR BURDENS....AND TRUST IN MY SAVING POWER ESPECIALLY 
WHEN YOU DO NOT SEE THE RESULTS YOU DESIRE...I AM USING THIS NOT ONLY IN THEIR LIVES 
BUT ALSO IN YOUR LIFE....ASK FOR THE GRACE YOU NEED TO JOIN WITH MY SAVING GRACES IN 
TRUST AND LOVE SO BE AT PEACE LET ME BE ME AND IN CONTROL...

Yes Abba...I give them over to you...help me to trust in Your Grace and Love...Live in your Presence...
Surrender to Your Divine Providence...Live in Your Peace...I Praise you and give You Glory...I love You and 
Thank You for Your Word to me...for Your ever-present Faithfulness and Mercy...Keep me in Your Presence
and Love
