From Colossians 1:12-14:  “Giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.  He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Life’s challenging journey

Filled with traps of despair

Father always with us

Pulling each from evil’s snare

Life’s tormenting voices

Dragged into darkest seas

Father always with us

Catching mercy’s faithful breeze

Life’s foolish decisions

Swayed by misplaced actions

Father always with us

Forgiving sin’s transactions

Life’s pride overflowing

Drowned amongst false idols

Father always with us

Responding to His bridle

Life’s unforgiving walk

Misguided force’s fraud

Father always with us

Walking with transforming God

From 1 John 1:8:  “ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
