Surely There’s an Easier Way

From the Heart

Louise Gibson

Before I was afflicted
I did go astray,
but God wanted my attention
to walk in His way!

God gets our attention
through suffering and pain.
To be His obedient servant
is truly great gain!

I now have a more teachable spirit,
but it came at a price.
Remember your dad’s admonition?
“I’m not going to tell you twice”!

Thank you, Lord, for your patience.
It takes awhile to learn your way.
Help us to keep our eyes on you, Lord,
As we strive to be obedient each day.
