I received a sweet poem from a good friend that I would like to share. God called her family away from their home to a new place of service and saying yes to God was not an easy thing for her in the beginning. God has a lovely way of gently reminding us that, when He calls us to what may seem like the impossible, He is always in control. Thank you Charity for your words of remembrance of those who took the chance to be obedient to God's will and for sharing your story...you are an encouragement!
YES
by Charity Kaler
Saying yes to God is not an easy thing
Put a baby in a basket
Kill a giant with a sling
Saying yes to God isn’t easy yes it’s true
Sacrifice your only son with just grace to pull you through
Saying yes to God really puts you to the test
Go tell pharaoh let my people go and I will do the rest
Saying yes to God can be dangerous and scary
It can even leave you doing some explaining like Mary
Saying yes to God can make people think you’re crazy
Like building a giant boat when the sky's not even hazy
Saying yes to
God is hard but saying no is harder
Sleeping in a fishes’ belly instead of on the charter
Saying yes to God will really make you wonder
What are you going to do about this lion that I’m under
Saying yes to God can make your mind start turning
Does he really understand that this furnace could start burning
And though saying yes to God is not an easy thing to do
It’s the only way to live your life if your faith is to be true
