Never lost

What would it take for me to curse God?

What would I lose that would lead me to that place?

What would it take for me to charge Him with wrong?

I shudder at the thought

 

May it never be

May my heart not be distorted by the things I have

…or the things I hope to have

May I hold on to them ever so lightly

 

So that tomorrow, if I happen to lose any or everything,

I may feel it but I would bless the Lord still

Him whom I know I shall never EVER lose

Knowing that in Him, my inheritance is lasting

 

Side note: This was inspired by my Bible reading of the book of Job which I started recently. It’s a timeless account of a man who God acknowledges as faithful in the midst of great losses. I pray to have a proper view of God, a proper view of myself and proper view of things. xx

 

“And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.
