Don't Shortchange Yourself
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith



Don't shortchange yourself
And not wait upon the Lord
He can turn burdens into blessings
He always honors His Word
He will give you patience
To wait upon His will
Reaffirm to yourself today
Peace my soul....Be still!

Give God the time He needs
To address each circumstance
Remember He's the Heavenly Father
Things don't happen perchance
Reflect upon His blessings
Put your soul at ease
He's working things out in His time
Just fall upon your knees

And there with broken heart
Upon the Potter's wheel
He will fashion you once again
Ready to do His will
With His approval stamp
Here Lord am I send me
Strengthed by that quiet time
When You bade me come to Thee!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
