From Psalm 103:2-4: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits—who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.”
Praising Father’s goodness
Knowing His love never ends
Forgiving sin’s transgressions
Humbling pride, truth never bends
Redeeming life from darkness
Trusting Father’s light of grace
Renewing hope from His peace
Allowing love to embrace
Teaching from Father’s Word
Abounding in steadfast love
Erasing darkest shadows
Descending Son from above
Dispersing mercy’s breath
Feeling Father’s tender hand
Breaking apart chains of sin
Sowing love across this land
Following Father’s light
Witnessing Calvary’s blood
Paying man’s debts with Son’s love
Living covenant’s fresh bud
From Psalm 103:13-14: “As a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear Him. For He knows how we were made; He remembers that we are dust.”

I believe this is our calling for now until we die. I’m always reluctant to witness verbally, even with my performance skills. I do much better writing my thoughts. I praise God for each of us with this gift.
