The Reason I Am Here...

The Reason I Am Here...

I’m not here to represent a
building or a denomination.
I’m here to give the Lord my love
 and admiration.

I’m not here to get “tied down
with wordly things.”
I’m here to represent Jesus!
 The King of Kings!

I’m not here to be filled with
gossip or slander.
But to serve a God, who’s
 power is grander!

I’m not here to live in worry and defeat…
But to allow God to make
 my life complete!

I’m not here to live with
stress and tension.
But to receive God’s peace
and satisfaction.

I’m not here to worry about what
tomorrow may bring.
But to serve a God… 
Who can do ANYTHING!

I’m not here to live a life
 filled with sin…
But to enjoy God’s love
and peace within!

I’m here for just a brief
moment of time.
I want to serve God with
 my body, soul and mind.

The reason that I live and
the reason I am here...
Is to serve God with my heart,
before my life "disappears."

I’'ve thought it over...
And have something to say…
"I'm giving my life to Christ!"
"I'll do it today!"

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
