Cowardly, wayward, and weak

I change with the changing sky.

Today so eager and strong

Tomorrow not caring to try.

But He never gives in,

And we two shall win,

Jesus and I.

The first time I read this poem was while I was reading Tramp for the Lord by Corrie Ten Boom (an excellent read, I might add!)  But lately this poem keeps coming to my memory.  I am constantly amazed at how my feelings, successes, failures change so quickly.  Thank God our relationship with Him does not rely upon our feelings, our efforts, our heritage, who we know, what we look like, etc.  Jesus takes us just as we are.  He takes the little we have and changes us for His glory and our good if we are willing.  Oh Lord, make me willing!  Give me a willing heart!  And a steady heart and mind to focus on You and not the things of this world that distract and torment me so much!  Amen.
