The Reason for my Hope
This is the first poem that started them all...:)
It came about after a particular experience that it talks about...
Aw...and as soldiers of the Cross, we are not supposed to put away our armor at all!
We are supposed to even sleep with it! So there ain't such thing as putting your armor on every day... you never put it off!
and you remind yourself it is ON!!!!!! By the way...it is NOT your armor! it is THE LORD's ARMOR on you!:)
and when it is the LORD's ARMOR---no attack can harm you:) just as Jesus says that no evil shall harm us!
i take Him at His Word!!!!!!!!!!!
The Reason for my Hope
I went out to tell the world
To give the reason for my hope
To shine the Light Jesus
I thought that I could cope
I was with a thankful heart.
The Spirit whispered: "Just be ready."
Keep your faith in Christ and Him crucified.
In Christ, I knew my faith is steady.
I was about to put the whole armor
Wanted to plant another seed
Sadly, my mind was not protected
I forgot the helmet that I need
Then the question followed
I was asked the reason...
…not ready to defend…
Grieved the Holy Spirit… cried…
WHY did I have to pretend?
"Why are you always joyful?"
"Because of Jesus" - I did not say
Losing the chance to witness
For our sins He did pay
I relied on my self for a minute
Forgot that on my own I am weak
Nothing I can do
Unless His strength I ALWAYS seek
Father, today You taught me
My hope resting fully upon the grace
of the salvation in the Lamb
the revelation of Jesus Christ
By the power of Your might
With Your strength, I go on in this fight
