Count it all for joy,
each trial you go through
give them not a second thought
then watch what God will do.
Count it all for joy,
when tested for your belief
patience will be your reward
and His peace your relief.
Count it all for joy,
as He performs His work you
let His perfection complete
and make you someone new.
Count it all for joy,
lest you be tossed about
seek by faith all your needs
and in God never doubt.
Count it all for joy,
for His wisdom is your gain
ask believing without fear
and in your life He will reign.
Count it all for joy,
no matter your despair
let His love fill you up
and your life He’ll repair!
~~~~~~
James 1:2-3
King James Version
“My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall
into divers temptations;
Knowing this,
that the trying of your faith
worketh patience.”

Yes Paul, it is so true that I find myself growing closer to the Lord with each poem. Many I write from my own experiences . . . but many come from the experiences I hear or read about of people I may or may not know. They inspire me to seek the Lord for His words ~ to share them ~ always in the hopes they will bless those who read them. I believe our Lord and Savior is the cure-all for man’s every woe . . . and Satan is our biggest enemy . . . keeping us from finding our healing and blessings in Him.
God Bless,
deborah ann
