This morning I woke with the thought, that with all the gifts God has given me , I should be doing more for Him and myself as a person. In my effort to block out all negative thoughts, I open my book "The Voice of the Heart" and I read this poem.
A Piece Of Clay
He took a piece of clay
He broke the clay
Some parts were hard, some soft.
But He broke it in a tender loving way.
He held it in his hand and spoke.
He planned my destiny.
Only I did not ears to hear.
Nor heart to store His words.
He did not want me to hear them.
I would not have understood.
I would be afraid.
I would not be able to live by faith,
if I knew all that He had in store for me.
Maybe I would plead with Him
Not to let me go
Not To send me in this world of sin.
But to stay sheltered in His loving care.
With loving care and order,
He voiced the plan for my life
He knew of the attack of the enemies.
He knew of my failure and my victories.
He knew that walking this road of life
I would need him all the way.
So He made me a promise That,
He would never leave me nor forsake me
Somehow, my ears heard these words and my heart stored them.
