This is a poem from one of “my girls” in jail.

“Last”

I lost my house, I lost my car, and I almost lost my life. I lost it all.  I had to fall down on my face to see why it all took Your place.

I was wrong.  I didn’t know, until I saw You were gone.  I’m sorry I put You last.

I am at a stop in my life.  I’ve got to see where to go from here.  Why? …  I’m sorry I put You last.

I’ve got to fix my life.  I can’t do this alone.  I love You too much to lose You.  I won’t turn back.  I will start new.  I will start a new list.  I’m sorry I put you last.

I had to let it all go.  I don’t want or need it in my life.  I will let God love me, and never put Him last again.

He’s first.  He’s best.  He’s on my list… but He’s not last.

Last night in the Bible study at the jail one of the women shared a poem she had written when she was 18 years old with us, and gave me permission to share it on the blog.  Enjoy!

ONE by Desirre

Running in circles
takes us back to the beginning
While finding the straight path
is hard yet forgiving
So once past the
obstacles the body gives the mind
We find ourselves free
to rip off those binds
Because we place them on ourselves
and we need them no more
If we learn how to fly
God will help us to soar.

A beautiful poem from a woman who was incarcerated a couple years ago, and is now walking strong in the Lord.  May this be true of all who serve Jesus Christ!

I see Christ The Lord instead
All the while I lose sight of you
That through the blood He shed
I see him in all you do
But not in mere spoke word
Or deeds and lost time confessed
But through renewed life in me
The same in you expressed

I pray for you
To grow in God’s Word
To find His love and grace
That there is no other who cares
The way He does for us
I don’t want to fall
I want to hold on
We should all be praying for each other
For blessings and strength
For our God is not far
He stands right beside us
We need to endure and wait on Him
Then we will understand all
It will be worth it in the end
Because I have faith and trust in Him
The time is near when He will test us
So be strong and stand firm
Roll with the punches and don’t let doubt in
Go with the flow until God tell us so
The reward is ours, making our lives more valuable
