Array ( [sid] => 39031 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Move On, Child [time] => 2004-03-17 12:15:54 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Far away from God,
At least that’s where I seem to be.
Time after time, I’ve cried out to Him,
And in My heart, I know He has forgiven me.
Yet here I am, struggling once again,
Because something in my past keeps haunting me.
Time after time, satan brings it to mind,
And for God’s tender mercy, I always seem to plead.
I wear it like a millstone, hanging round my neck,
Wishing somehow that I could just be free.
God sees my tears and shakes His head in regret,
He picks me up once again, and whispers in my ear,
“What is wrong, Child? You see, I forget.”
“You asked for my forgiveness, and that’s just what I did.
I took your burdens on, to give you peace and rest.”
“Put the past behind you, Child. Don’t worry your little head.
I have cast your sins into the sea of forgetfulness.”
“Move on and keep looking to Me,
Don’t dwell on things I’ve already forgotten,
Just trust in Me, and you’ll be truly blessed.”

Move On, Child

Far away from God,
At least that’s where I seem to be.
Time after time, I’ve cried out to Him,
And in My heart, I know He has forgiven me.
Yet here I am, struggling once again,
Because something in my past keeps haunting me.
Time after time, satan brings it to mind,
And for God’s tender mercy, I always seem to plead.
I wear it like a millstone, hanging round my neck,
Wishing somehow that I could just be free.
God sees my tears and shakes His head in regret,
He picks me up once again, and whispers in my ear,
“What is wrong, Child? You see, I forget.”
“You asked for my forgiveness, and that’s just what I did.
I took your burdens on, to give you peace and rest.”
“Put the past behind you, Child. Don’t worry your little head.
I have cast your sins into the sea of forgetfulness.”
“Move on and keep looking to Me,
Don’t dwell on things I’ve already forgotten,
Just trust in Me, and you’ll be truly blessed.”

I often feel this way too... and I think to myself, "Who moved?" Not God! So it must have been me... U know life is so simple... so y do we have to make it so complicated? I never have figured that out... it's just our nature I guess.
