Because God Deserves My Best

Numb emotions run through my mind,

The tears have come and been cried,

I took a stand for God,

And His holy word,

It was not easy,

The words were not easy to say,

Especially toward someone I cared for,

For such a long time in my life,

Following Him means we love all,

We show love to everyone,

Even those that disagree,

But we must still stand firm,

To His word,

And not sway,

Even if it might cause hurt and pain,

People might not understand,

People might not fully know my heart,

But I said the words as carefully as I could,

Even if it hurt me as I said them,

The words were not easy to say,

But I had to speak the truth,

He sought the question of why I wrote,

And I had to be true to God’s word,

And through that action,

I might have lost a friend,

But I encouraged my husband,

He was proud that I stood up for God,

And for His word,

That I did not back down,

And made my husband want to be stronger,

In his own testimony and in telling others about God,

People might accuse me as they wish,

But they do not know my heart,

I loved this person deeply,

And said the things I did because I cared,

I know how much God has changed my life,

And although I am still a sinner,

Although I am still not perfect,

Although my words might not always be perfect,

I know how much He has changed me every single day,

His grace has showed me to not be angry,

His grace has given me the strength to not want to hurt someone back,

For them hurting me,

His love for me has been healing me of past wounds in my life,

And the wounds from relationships in my past,

His love extends to me every day,

And I trust in Him every day,

I believe in His Word,

I have faith in His Word,

I put my trust in Him,

And I walk in His ways,

No matter where that might lead,

And who I might have to leave behind,

Because God desires my best every day.
