"YIELDED TO THE MASTER!"
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 7}
'Yielded' to The Master
there is no other way,
To have 'complete' Peace & Rest
in your heart alway!
Submitting TOTALLY to His Will
regardless of what you see & hear,
Knowing that He'll Lead you 'right'
into His Arms, my dear!
We need have 'no fear' of others
or what they try to do to us,
For whatever happens in our lives
will only be ~ a great big 'plus'!
"Why?" you say ~
because of Jesus,
He'll not forsake *
'or' ever leave us!
He even uses 'bad' things *
that happen in our lives,
Turns them around to 'good'
'if' we will not despise!
No, do 'not' despise *
the chastening Hand of God,
Nor whom He has 'allowed' *
to strike you with a rod.
Seek His Face & Pray
& 'submissive' be to Him alone,
'Humble' yourself before Him
as you come before His Throne.
No, do not 'curse' Him
nor 'give up' & quit,
But, come alone before Him
& ~very quietly~ sit.
Listen for His Voice
then, DO just what He says,
Walk ~ always ~ in HIS WILL
& give Him lots of PRAISE!
Do not become angry
or let bitterness take over,
As then you will not win
but will run for cover.
Hiding from God & man
living in lots of 'rage',
Pent-up 'inside'
like living in a cage.
So, 'turn around' that bad thing
let God 'Bless' you mightily,
'REJOICE' ~ in the midst of it *
& then you will be 'free'!
