I have learned, I have forgotten

I have learned, I have forgotten

I have been a Christian 
for 30 years

in that time I have learned some

very important things,

unfortunately,

in that time,

I have also forgotten

some very important things…

I have learned:

God is near…

God is powerful…

God loves people…

God’s way is the best way…

Pride sneaks up on me…

I am tempted easily…

I am a clay pot…

God has more forgiveness

than I have sins...

I always think I’m right…

God is infallible, I am not…

If God said it, it’s true...

At times I forget:

How much He loves me…

How much He paid for me…

How often He thinks of me…

That He will never leave me

or forsake me…

That we win…

That He is for me…

That there is a great cloud of

Witnesses rooting for me…

I have learned, God helps me

And I can do anything

When He helps me.

I have learned to give God glory.

I sometimes forget to give God glory.

I have learned I am forgiven

I forget that sometimes too.

I have learned…

(so many times) I have learned

Nothing satisfies but Jesus!

And lastly,

the most important thing I have learned…

the way to have the most joy

for the longest period of time

with out fail

is to live

in loving relationship

with Jesus Christ
