Encouragement
People seem to love to bring up my past,
And act as if I would be the last
Person that God decides to save,
And there is no way I can behave
In a respectable and honest manner
Because they feel that I can never be any more than a sinner.
Yes, I have been unfaithful to God in my life,
Causing others pain, suffering and strife.
It’s true that I was a liar along my way,
And that I cheated many people from day-to-day.
I’ve even been a whore before,
But I refuse to be one any more.
God saw fit to save me from myself,
Just as He is able to do it for everyone else.
If you’ve been a drug addict or even a drunk,
Or, if you are one that has sunk
Deep in the gutters of sin,
Don’t let what people say and think make you give in
Because some believe that they are the only ones that can be truly saved
Or be forgiven when they stray or misbehave.
People will talk about you, without a doubt,
But it’s up to you to know for sure that God has brought you out
Of the sinful life you once chose to live;
For, God is always willing to accept and forgive
His children whom He loves more as the days go on,
Even when we stray and do wrong.
If God has brought you out of darkness into the marvelous light,
Don’t allow what people think or say about you make you lose sight
Of the plan that He has for your life
Because the words of self-righteous Christians can cause much pain and strife;
For, they feel that they are the only saved among people today,
Not realizing that they are putting their own souls in jeopardy with the words they say
To those of us who are struggling with trying to live the best we can;
For, their harsh words and evil thoughts are a hindrance to God’s plan
For salvation for the entire world,
Every man, woman, boy and girl.
Don’t allow people to judge, condemn and sentence you to eternal damnation
With their criticism and accusations
Constantly reminding you of who you used to be and what you used to do,
Never giving you the opportunity to prove that God truly brought you through
Those times of being sin-filled and unsaved,
And not believing that you have been forgiven for all those times you misbehaved.
Don’t allow people to make you doubt
That God’s hand of salvation brought you out
Of the sinful world that you lived in
And saved you from the sinful spirits you possessed within.
