The Savior’s Love

August 10, 2010 by Guest Author 2 Comments

He said, “My child, I love you.
Trust me and bear this pain.”
I said, “Lord, I only love you
In the sunshine, not the rain.”He asked, “My love, please trust me,
My Will is best for you.”
I said, “Harsh pain and suffering?
I have better things to do!”

He said, “You break my heart,
But it is your choice to make.”
I said, “Just pour out blessings—
Money, fame, now those I’ll take!”

He said, “Dear friend, I’ve given you,
The best gift of your life.”
I said, “Lord, all I see from you,
Is hurt and pain and strife!”

He asked, “Have you forsaken?
The thorns, the nails, the cross?”
I said, “You’re nothing to me!
Without you there’s no loss!”

He said, “Dear one, I pray for you,
Each and every day.”
I said, “Just leave me to my life,
Just please go far away!”

He said, “I’ll always be with you,
Though not you’ll take my hand.”
I said, “You are forgotten!”
‘Til the day I couldn’t stand

When the Father looked into me,
Tears within His heavenly eyes
Looking down upon me,
A sinner, lost in lies

I said, “Lord, please forgive me!
That I may enter in!”
He said, “I love you, precious,
But you’re crushed beneath your sin.”

So fast I fell into the flames,
Grasping, reaching for above
Only then to realize,
I’d refused the Savior’s love

    Emily, you are so very talented! This is so touching and thought provoking. May we always be on the alert for when we may be refusing the Savior’s love!

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
