Changing

by Pamela Latham

I call this one, Changing. Been doing a lot of thinking, about things that I have done. Been doing a lot of wishing, changing my life was one. I turned around to Jesus, I’m the one That turned my back. Jesus was waiting for me, He sat me on his lap. He gently rocked me back and forth, a smile upon his face, He told me how much he loved me; He knows I can finish this race. He told me he walked beside me and carried me through the worst. He saw the abuse and brutality; he heard my mother’s curse. He knew I’d run to him, when I could fight no more. He knew I’d lose everything; I’d hit rock bottom at 54. That’s how long it took for me to open my ears and eyes Most things that were told to me, most of them were lies I know for sure, I have no doubt, that Jesus is all I want, I know his love—I trust his love, so I put him up front Satan will not win even though his rage has been unfurled Because he who’s within me, is greater than who’s in this world.
