The spirit is willing,
But the flesh is weak,
To serve the Lord,
And Christ to seek.
We’re no match
Without the Spirit,
Against this world
That draws us near it.
Sin pulls down,
Always destroys;
But with God’s power
We can rejoice.
Our flesh wants to rule,
Yet we’ll overcome
All the enemy's tools!
There’s a race we must run.
-- Charity Lacroix, age 14

Author's note: The poems in this blog were written by my children, ages seven through fourteen. The "Why This Blog" post explains how the Lord inspired these poems in answer to a prayer during illness. I also recommend visiting my children's blog, A Brush with Life, where you will also find beautiful art they have drawn for the glory of God. You can access my complete blog directory at "Writing for the Master." The "Thy Will Be Done" painting © 2012 is by Danny Hahlbohm, all rights reserved by the artist. Now I'd like to ask a very important question.
Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
