He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

When we think of victory, we think of winning.
That is exactly what we have done.

It wasn’t me that went to the cross.
My Lord, Jesus Christ, did that for me.

Victory with Jesus is so precious to me.
Saved by His grace, my battles He fights.

Most of us do not care to battle or argue.
So, give it to God and win the victory.

Why do we hold on and try to do all for ourselves?
Give it to Him and lay your burdens down.

You will feel great! Now, won’t that be grand?
Jesus is a wonderful Savior, our Father is He.

I cannot imagine what my life, without Him, would be.
If there is one thing I have to say to the world today …

Walk with Him daily and the peace will stay

Jesus is my Saviour's name.
What a beautiful name it is to me.



He knew me before I was born and I have a purpose.

We talk about everything under the sun.


Each day, as we visit and run all around,
I never have anyone to ask me about Jesus.

When I visit someone or go to the mall,
Often, I tell people what He has done for me.

I don't need to preach to them or come on strong,
Just be myself and talk about my Saviour.
 
As a senior citizen, I enjoy telling about my sons,
How much fun my grandchildren are, and brag about my life.

It is easy to let others know that Jesus is the one
That is so dear to me.  He loves me more than I could ever love.
 
He died on the cross that I might live forever with Him.
One day may come that I cannot speak.

Hopefully, the ones that pass my way, this day,
Will know that Jesus is most important to me.
 
Tomorrow may never come and I have to ask myself
"Would it be fine with Him, the way that I have lived, today?"

If I could measure my goodness on the scale of one to ten,
To be honest, I am not good.  Zero it would be because of my sin.

Regardless of how good I try to be,
I am only a sinner saved by GRACE.

I look to God in the morning
I know He is with me
As I kneel and Pray
God’s love for me will stay
He doesn’t leave me
God doesn’t stray
There are times I am lonely
Sometimes even depressed
I feel His presence in my stress
I don’t see a body or even His face
He lives in my heart
He gives me His grace
Serving my God doesn’t leave me lacking
It is serving Him that makes me happy
Because of His love
I could shout out loud
Do you know this God that I serve?
Please give Him a try, that you deserve

God is so gracious and so good

To forgive us for our sins.
It doesn’t matter where we are going

Or where we have been.

He is there, with His hands

Open, to take us back in.
It isn’t God that walks away.

It is His children who go astray.
 

His grace is amazing

To a sinner, such as I.
Forgiveness He gives

If only we try.

We must ask and then turn away

From whatever makes us stray.

He loves us unconditionally

And asks us to do the same.

Often, we hold on to things

That keep us away,
When we can’t handle

Our problems another day.

Just bow your head or get on your knees

And, to Him, plead, “Forgive me,

Father, for I have sinned.”
Through His amazing grace,

You’ll be whole again.

  
As a  Christian I have gone through scary times
 I have been frightened by being alone 
God’s calming grace was there for me
  
I would go to sleep instead of weeping
 Many times I have had medical tests
 The fears were overwhelming
 I would ask, God just calm me, then His calming grace appeared
 
There have been several surgies
 God’s calming grace was there within
  
My children were sick in the middle of the night
 Then God’s calming grace I could feel
 
Going through the grief of losing my son 
To suicide was more than I thought I could bear
 God’s calming grace was there every time
  
He gave it when this child needed it 
Everywhere I went after my son’s death
 I would remember when he was with me at that place
 
Sometimes I would see someone that resembled my child
 I wanted to run after them, to give them a hug
 Maybe just look closer in their face
 
I knew I couldn’t do that, then came God’s Calming Grace!!
 

My God’s grace is sufficient to meet all my needs
Many years ago my daddy passed away and my heart was broken
Six months later my mother went to be with my Lord Jesus
Never did I think as a young lady I could get through this grief
Then there came the day that my son at age twenty eight
Went into the woods and took his life before the Lord was ready
One year later my oldest brother was taken to heaven
Agony doesn’t describe this old broken heart
He promised His grace and he did not let me down
As I awake each morning and things of the day a head of me
I know that He will be there, regardless of what it brings
Oh, there are times when fear creeps in when I feel distraught
What am I thinking and where are my thoughts
Not on Jesus are my fears would not be there
Trusting Him daily is all that I need and the grace He will give
He gives it as I need it and not before, just look at yesterday
There He was all the time with a supply of grace my gift from HIM
Grief is something I cannot describe and neither can you unless you have been there
I cannot describe GRACE but needless to say it is sufficient for me today
Oh how I love Him  and thank Him for Grace that comes and indwells me
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow!!!!
