God's Will

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
