Jesus Needs to Be My First Love!

Jesus Needs to Be My First Love!



 



 I was raised in the Christian way.



I’d read my Bible about every day.



 



As a child, I asked Jesus to come in.



I was happy and was born again!



 



I wanted more of God and read



 the Bible many times.



I knew many verses



 in my mind.



 



As the years went by and I got old.



My love and passion for Christ



 became cold.



 



I lost my love for Christ



and wasn’t concerned.



But something deep inside of me



 one day burned.



 



I felt God’s Spirit tugging at my heart.



I knew that on my knees was



 a good place to start.



 



I cried and asked for God’s forgiveness…



His love for me is strong and endless!



 



My love for Christ once more began to grow!



He truly is the best friend I’ll ever know!



 



The love he has for me is secure and binding!



An everlasting life with him



 is worth finding!



 



I’m so glad with the choice I’ve givin’!



He’s with me each day I’m livin’!

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!
