Affliction Since I've been afflicted, I rarely go astray. I need the Lord to get me through, The easiet of days. My hold on Him is tight, More like a prolonged hug. Our hearts are bound together, I feel the slightest tug. My love before, the fickle kind, I judged Him by results. Now convinced that He is good, He smoothes out bumps and jolts. As a sheep follows his shepherd, I stay close by His side. The difference is, I need Him more, He's become my place to hide.
Psalm 119:75 "I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are right, and that in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me." |

About the Poet
I've been a Christian for over 40 years and am continually thankful for Jesus' friendship and care. I'm married and have three grown children. I also have two grandsons and three granddaughters. Praise God! My prayer is that God would use these simple poems to encourage you in your walk with the Lord.
