No Sorrow For Yourself

I wrote this poem a little over a year ago to remind myself not to feel sorry for myself. It stemmed out of a friend encouraging me to stop looking at all the things that have happened to me and the things I had done. Instead, I needed to focus on God and all of His provisions in my life. Through my focusing and allowing God to change my heart, I was able to heal from the past and let go of the sorrow. Isn't God Stinkin' Amazing?!?!


No Sorrow For Yourself

God has a plan
A plan to prosper you and bring new life
Don't sit by or walk away
Don't run in the other direction
Face the sorrow to move on
For after sorrow comes joy like never before
God has a plan
A plan we don't have to understand
A plan that gives Him glory and joy
Walk the way of God
For in the end your joy will be full
No sorrow for yourself
A simple step you must take
A simple path is all it takes
For God brings peace
With God your destruction stops
God brings life
No more sorrow for yourself
Don't run and hide
Find the light
Find the eternity of life

"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:2-3
