More Than Enough For Me...
(beautiful scripture at the end of the above video)
This morning's poem is inspired in part after visiting my cousin yesterday,in a long-term care facility. He has been afflicted for many years with MS. His family bears a very hard cross!Please, if you remember, keep them in your prayers...

He gave us access to His promises, to satisfyHunger and thirst with righteousness only He can supplyThen, may the joy and peace He gives thus transcend everythingWith the knowledge that Jesus lives and death has lost its stingAnd nothing in this sin-cursed place can ever dearer beThan the knowledge that by His grace Jesus has ransomed me
Then give me no knowledge but this; He loves me without endNo matter what may be amiss, He is a faithful FriendOn Him I lean, to Him I cry, He, trustworthy and trueTries my reason with His reply, yet what more can I doBut yield my mortal will to He who paid sin’s penaltyThis knowledge of His love will be more than enough for me
