A wish among wishes. A struggle of salvation.

[Not_Now.Soon]

A wish among wishes. Beyond most dreams and hopes is the final hope, the lasting wish. That I might be found in your name, and have a home in your Kingdom. What a hope that could be.


But on each day, I see my faults, and my strong weaknesses. I see every reason to not keep me and not want me. And some days I discover new reasons and new faults. What could become of someone like me. In an imperfect world I am a failure, and my frustration fills me with fear that I will break all my bridges and only have myself to blame.


Oh what is there that in my greatest hope there lies my greatest fear. That you would not pick me, and would not know me.

I can relate to this Not_Now_Soon.
But it is the blessed hope. And if we have repented and taken the Lord as our saviour who can separate us. I have just found this out myself. I love the hymn Trust And Obey. There is no other way.
God is loyal and just.

That's good that you learned that, but you should have already known. :wink

Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

2 Corinthians 12:9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I am sure of nothing in this life except for my salvation. It is when we are at our weakest that He can make something of us.
If you've accepted Christ its because He made the first move - you were picked for the team.

1 John 4:19 - We love him, because he first loved us.
