Simple Simon Says: September 2010

If your life was perfect .....

If you never felt pain,
How would you know that I am a Healer?
If you never had to pray,
How would know that I am a Deliverer?
If you never had a trial,
How could you call yourself an overcomer?
If you never felt sadness,
How would you know that I am a Comforter?
If you never made a mistake,
How would you know that I am a forgiver?

If you knew all,
How would you know that I will answer your question?
If you never were in trouble,
How would you know that I will come to your rescue?
If you never were broken,
How would you know that I can make you whole?
If you never had a problem,
How would you know that I can solve them?
If you never had any suffering,
How would you know what I went through?

If you never went through the fire,
How would you become pure?
If I gave you all things,
How would you appreciate them?
If I never corrected you,
How would you know that I love you?
If you had all power,
How would you learn to depend on me?
If your life was perfect,
Then what would you need me for?

Love,
Jesus

Bible Verses

1 John 4:17-18 (NLT)
¹⁷ And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.
¹⁸ Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us.

1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (NLT)
²⁶Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes, or powerful, or wealthy when God called you. ²⁷Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)
