I’ve come to the understanding,
by myself, I am too weak
unless every minute . . .
God’s strength I daily seek.
I’ve come to the opinion,
by myself, I’m hopelessly poor
unless every minute . . .
I open to Jesus, my heart’s door.
I’ve come to the realization,
by myself, I am no good
unless every minute . . .
I let God do, what He should.
I’ve come to the belief,
by myself, I’m but dross
unless every minute . . .
I pick up my own cross.
I’ve come to the deduction,
by myself, I am just dust
unless every minute . . .
God does in me, what He must.
I’ve come to the conclusion,
by myself, I’m not anything
unless every minute . . .
I make Jesus, my everything!

John 15:5
“I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.”

Deborah Ann, guess what? I found one of your poems on a full page of a local church bulletin. Neat! They were sure to include a copyright – “Every Minute” Copyright 2015 Deborah Ann Belka.

Hi Maria, that is really cool how God is using what He gives me to be used by others. I get a lot of requests for my poems and I always grant permission. Spreading the Good News one post at a time 🙂
