Has My Love For Jesus Grown Cold
Has My Love For Jesus Grown Cold ???
As a young child, I grew up with what I had.
There were times when I was happy and sad.
I didn’t have many of the conveniences of today.
But I’m thankful that my family took time to pray.
We had each other. This was to be expected.
There was a love for God that we respected.
It was the simple things that mattered the most.
Whether there was food on the table, or “burnt toast.”
As I look back and think of how things used to be.
I ask myself; “what has really happened to me?”
Do I still have a passionate love for family and God?
Does an “old fashioned way of living,” seem quite odd?
Am I content with the beauty of Jesus as I once did?
Is Christ being honored in the way that I live?
Is Christ the invited guest into my heart and home?
Do I call on him when I’m feeling afraid and alone?
Please Lord Jesus come and speak to my heart.
I want to take this moment as a “brand new start.”
I want to serve you with a daily love and compassion.
No matter if to many, this seems “old fashioned.”
I want there to be Holy Ghost fire deep inside.
Help me to be humble and take away my pride!
This same Jesus I served and honored as a boy…
Is the same one who brings unspeakable JOY!
With Christ, I’m once again on a “heavenly team.”
He’s my life, my righteousness…
My everything!
