From Ephesians 2:8:  “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”

During childhood years

Hearing about God

Stories filling ears

Joining with His squad

 

Years moving along

Learning about God

Life fills with His song

Accepting His rod

 

Adulthood arrives

Discovering God

His message now thrives

Walking on fresh sod

 

Maturity comes

Truly knowing God

Steady, beating drum

Crashing sin’s facade

 

Divine hands rebuild

Spirit calling out

Righteousness refilled

Taking Heaven’s route

 

From Philippians 3:15-16:  “Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you.  Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.”
