John 14:16 

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

His Best

 

Rolling out of bed one morning ... ready to face the day

Felt pretty good like I was reborn and I even took some time to pray.

 

Had no idea what was in store ... so with a smile I planned the day.

It did not take long for me to see that I should throw my plans away.

 

From one thing came another ... but nothing went just right.

From the first errant I got clobbered after the second I gave up the fight.

 

The whole day I was caught fumbling ... up to in the early night.

And eight at night I was stumbling with a disposition far from right.

 

I’m supposed to be a Christian ... in control to do what is right.

Instead, I acted like a Freudian ... lost my temper deep inside.

 

Acted like a jerk to my Maker ... Who puts up with me despite

His purity and holiness to help me make the best of my life

 

If I’m aggravated by little ... it throws my plans into array.

Why is my little faith so brittle ... as problems come my way?

 

Without Jesus here to help me ...  I was trying to do my best.

I would not make it through the eve even when I am sleeping in my bed.

 

Some days I catch myself not trying and that is so far from my best.

Still Jesus keeps on supplying in abundance which suggests,

 

that despite of myself He loves me ... and even if I ignore the rest,

He has promised He will keep me because He forever is The Best.
