Realize and Restore

a poem by Gigi Graham Tchividjian

REALIZE

Some of my fears are real; some of
them are imaginary. Some are physical;
others, psychological or emotional.
Some are for myself and some are for
loved ones. Whatever the fear, it is
keenly felt--an unpleasant experience.
And, invariably, the bridge between
despair and hope looks awesome and
precarious when I am looking down at
myself--my circumstances, my feelings,
my emotions--instead of looking up
and trusting in Him whom my soul loves.

Please read the following scripture texts in your Bible. There is something about looking them up and reading them from your own Bible or even a borrowed Bible, if you don't have one. Pray for Him to give you a willingness to apply His Word to your heart and life. The Lord will bless you!

(The book of Psalms is approximately at the half way point of the Bible, the book of 1st John is located in the New Testament, which is in the back portion of the Bible.)

Psalm 37:1-17
1 John 4:7-21
