I am new to this forum; I just wanted to say "hello". My name is Dee, and Jesus brought me back to Himself in Nov. 08 after a harrowing family tragedy. He is ever faithful; and even though I ran from Him many years, He heard my prayers from long ago "please don't forget me" and "please don't give up on me". I am so glad He answered those prayers. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all, and fellowshipping with you. Jesus also gave me the ability to express my thankfulness to Him by writing poetry, and below is one of the first poems I wrote in honor and praise to Him:
"Miracle"
You have brought joy to my heart
And peace to my spirit
You have created a miracle
A heart, once cold and unyielding
Has become warm and responsive to You
You have shown grace and mercy
To one who is so undeserving
It is a mystery
That cannot be explained in mere words
But through the eyes of faith
It is accepted and understood
And the mind and heart
Abide with You
In the peaceful, settled rest
That only You can give
To a broken, repentant sinner
You call Your own
Now and forever.
