Pay Backs By Brenda Drake

Very little of the world’s ways are of value to keep as we follow in the footsteps of Christ. It is challenging but with God’s strength, the Word in hand and with Jesus’ name on our lips in prayer, we are able to handle the many difficult situations we find in our everyday life. God is in control, have faith.

Pay Backs

Pay backs are thought of a threat sometimes,
Retribution of sorts for getting out of line.
The world ways encourage such things,
But in the end it does not solve anything.
It is not your job to pay back for wrongs done.
Leave it up to God and lasting profit comes.
God says to turn the other cheek and love your enemy.
He says to kind and respectful be.
His payback comes when you reap what you sow.
What you have planted is what grows.
Your prayers in behalf of those that offend,
Comes back as a blessing to you within.
Allow the Holy Spirit to your battle fight.
Nothing passes by His sight.
Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul.
When you do He is allowed full control.
His pay backs are beauty for ashes, and peace and joy untold.
His pay backs are precious things your hearts can hold.
He is the Author and Finisher of your faith.
He lavishes love upon you so from evil pay backs you are safe
