Do You Want To Be Free? Try Jesus!

Do You Want To Be Free?  Try Jesus!



 



It's easy to get



discouraged and upset.



Being in bondage...  But you



can't escape just yet.



 



You've tried "everything."  and don't



 know what else to do.



Often wondering if there's anyone



who can help you through?



 



The things you've done, 



you asked God to forgive.



Yet struggle with this



 Each day you live.



 



You go to church and



put on a big "smile."



Yet wonder if living is



worth the while.



 



You have run for prayer time and time again.



And yet constantly struggle



with this habitual sin.



 



Many times when you've tried to 



call on Jesus' name.



Yet find yourself in another



 sea of guilt and shame.



 



Jesus is here now and wants you to know…



Everything in your life, 



you must completely let go.



 



Start today by not thinking of things



done in the past.



Come to Jesus now!  He'll give you



 true joy that will LAST!



 



There is another thing you must do. 



You really should!



Begin to think on things which



are wholesome and good!



 



Allow God to bring to your life



the needed victory now!



He'll make you a brand new person



 and HOW!

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!
