You Are Not What You Think You Are…

From the Heart

Louise Gibson

”You Are Not What You Think You Are,
But What You Think, You Are’

Now that is controversial,
and truly is confusing.
You are toying with my thinking,
But I do find it amusing.

If I think that I am coping
with the problems of old age,
And truly believe that my life
is not ruled by a calendar page,
Then I will continue on my journey-
finding meaning as I go,
Trusting God to teach me
all that He wants me to know.

It never ceases to amaze me
when I think about the past.
The trials never seemed to end-
While the good times went so fast.

Everything in life happens for a reason.
God wants to conform us to the image of His Son.
When confronted with life’s problems,
Remember, the battle has already been won.
