What if I did not have it all?
Would I still be where I am today?
... an important question,
to ask one\'s self,
when reevaluating one\'s faith.
What if I did not have a wife?
Would I feel lonely everyday?
What if I did not have a talent for poetry?
Would I be able to find the words I have to say?
What if I did not have a church to go to,
as so many Christians
around the world lack?
Would I want to push forward in Christ Jesus,
or would I only want to go back?
Believe or not,
the answer is simple,
as serious as the question is,
because I keep my eyes upon Jesus,
and not upon His gifts.
IF and I say, \'IF\',
Melissa Phillips Crown were to go,
to Heaven before me,
and I were to be without my wife,
Yes, I would be sad,
but I know that I would not be lonely,
because I would always have Jesus Christ.
If I could not write poetry,
and I did not have that gift,
I know that I would still have prayer,
and I could always talk to Him.
If I did not have a church to go to,
or could not watch it on T.V.,
I would always have Him in my heart,
and would just praise His name,
in the streets.
These are just a few examples,
but what IF I lost it all?
I may stumble sometimes,
but Jesus is always there to catch me,
and will not ever let me fall.
