Not a Step Away

Have reverence for the Lord Christ in your hearts, and always have your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have.  But give it with courtesy and respect and with a clear conscience, so that those who slander you when you are living a good life in Christ may be proved wrong in the accusations they bring.  And if it is the will of God that you should suffer for doing right than for doing wrong.  Why, Christ Himself, innocent though He was, has died once for the sins, died for the guilty, to lead us to God.  In the body He was put to death, in the Spirit He was raised to life.

1 Peter 3:15-18


I know when I am not talking to You Lord, my life crumbles.  Things are wrong, life is heavy.  I know too when You are near me, or when I am near You, I smile without knowing, I love everything without wonder, I see color and light.  Please never step away from me, grab me as I turn away from You.  My Lord Your are My Strength, My Joy, My Life, My All.
