Welcome!



I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.

August 15 – The Evidence of the New Birth

Lord, You have known me since I was first born
You loved me even before.
But I let the years pass in ignorant bliss
Til I wanted to know You some more.

The more that I studied about You
The more that I needed to know
Until I was ready to be born again
To make our relationship grow.

I accepted You into my heart and soul
My life changed immediately
Lord , I am striving so hard every day
To show the world Your love for me.

I show it the best through living a life
Surrendered to Your control
Striving to make those around me
Aware of our heavenly goal.

We know that we cannot be good enough to deserve to go to heaven. We can’t earn it or buy it. The way to heaven is to have a relationship with Jesus; to believe He is who He says He is and that He did what the Bible says He did and that we are aware that he did it for us. Being sinless or striving to cannot earn heaven for us but we need to strive to overcome sin after being born again as evidence of our changed lives.
