HOW TO HANDLE THE PAST !
By Frank Henrich 1-1-89
You can live in the past
Or
You
can live for the past,
Better Yet
,You can live with values
From the past
In the present.
I'VE LEARNED TO ACCEPT THE PAST AND BE AT PEACE WITH
MYSELF
One of the biggest battles
I have ever faced,
Is to be at peace,
With myself.
Do I like myself?
Often I have wondered.
Seemed easier to satisfy others,
At least I can walk away.
Yet, try as I might,
I had to find a way,
To be at peace,
With myself.
Oh, it is a hard job.
First to have to learn,
To like myself,
And that ain’t
easy.
There are those stupid
Things that I do,
Old father nature,
Poking up his head.
I liken it to a
lion,
Caged up and hungry,
When I let him out,
Oops, happen stupid things.
Then I have to try,
To love
myself again.
Christ is gone from my life,
I reason.
I know, of course
The Christian life
Is one of
obedience,
A hard task indeed.
But can I be happy
Otherwise?
I try to change and
To accept myself again.
But is this acceptance
Big enough
to tolerate,
My being all day and night,
With myself?
No, it is not enough,
Life then is a drag.
So
how can I
Solve this dilemma?
I remember the Scripture,
From dust you are,
And to dust
You shall return.
So I ask God’s forgiveness,
Feel
right again with Him,
Accept myself as dust,
Trying my best.
With glad hands,
I welcome into my heart,
That friend
Called myself.
There comes a time,
When I am alone a lot,
Then it is most important
That myself
and I are friends.
