PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Such a tiny word, that word if, helps to ignore the present gift,

God’s gift to us of life today, when we put the past in the way,

Today’s a gift to all of us, from the Author of life Christ Jesus,

Yesterday’s past is already gone, and He’d like us to carry on.



What if, only moves us to cast, present thoughts into the past,

Tainting concerns now at hand, with those we can’t understand,

It may even cause us to resent, past issues, in view of present,

What God wants left behind, to give us present peace of mind.



We cannot physically, go back, to alter what we presently lack,

For with the past said and done, we have a present race to run.

Old issues we should not spurn, using all them instead to learn,

As we go forward in this life, following the lead of Jesus Christ.



Allow His Spirit only to retrace, those past issues by His Grace,

As Christ helps you not to repeat, what was in your past defeat.

Christ, has a plan for all of us, and in Him we must simply trust,

And God’s plan for you and me, is not more defeat, but victory.



Believers, God will not forsake, regardless of any past mistake,

God wants us to move ahead, not be filled with regret or dread,

As God takes us by the hand, past issues we can’t understand,

Avoiding that small word if, to focus on Christ our greatest gift.
