Advice

You try so hard to do what’s right.
You’ll follow after any light,
But all that glitters isn’t gold.

Just trust the One who loves you so much,
And watches over all you do–
Remember, He made your mold.

Push into God, for He’s the One.
Praise Him for all He’s done.
That’s the only place you’re safe.

Give everything you have to God.
Live Him strong and live Him loud.
You can trust Him with your life.

Based on what I knew of the Bible and what I had experienced in my life, I wrote this spiritual poem. It’s encouragement to give God a chance and to give Him all you have. You won’t be disappointed. It’s not always easy, of course, but He has a way of making everything right in the end. It may not seem so at the time, but He has a way of pulling beauty out of even the most horrible situation. The catch is that you have to be His to receive the benefits He provides.
