THE UNDYING LOVE (GRIP OF GRACE)

I woke up this morning
I have lot of things going on in my head
My daily planner filled with the activities for the day
I switched on my TV set,
and all I saw flashing on my flat screen was news, bad news:

News about the unrest in the Middle East and all Arab nations,
famine in Africa, and the falling economy of Nations,
Hate, abortion, corruption, and confusion is all I see in life

I walked over to my refrigerator,
picked a bottle of beer, poured some into a glass
and walked back to my sitting room,
I sat comfortably, ready to drink

A silent voice whispered into my ear,
"you are born to be a king"
"a king?" I thought
all my life, I saw a failure in me,
a slave to booz,
hope is an illusion,
and life is not fare

I have tried them all
sex, drugs, money, power, cult
gangs, spiritism and even religion
but still I am confused and bitter

I decided to walk to my study
lying in one corner of my room was a BOOK
covered with dust because of neglect:

I picked it up, and wiped the dust with my
hand "THE BIBLE"

This is the only book I have never read
"why not give it a shot" I thought
I opened the first page
"God loves you"
The second page "you will always be a child"
the third "I die for you"
the fourth "I am here for you"

I thought I was seeing things
I closed the BOOK
And this time, I heard it loud and clear
"What more can I do to prove to you, I AM all you need?"
the voice is calm, gentle and full of peace

There I bowed my head in absolute surrender,
Never to struggle on my own,
your undying love for me
had rescued me from sin,
Thank you LORD, for your grace
I am FREE at last!
