come up higher

[barbaraclarke]

a new poem that might encourage someone

Come up higher

Come closer
Come further in
Climb the mountain crags
Learn to leap with hind’s feet

Come deeper
Come further in
Traverse the valley places
Trust more in Him

Come closer
Come sit at His feet
Hear His voice
Surrender to Him

Come closer
Follow the cross
Surrender those struggles
Obey His voice.

How can we go higher and come closer to Jesus when it seems that most believers around us don't even reach out to one another? The lack of love makes it difficult.
To those who are stronger in their struggles to draw closer to Jesus, then God bless you.

yes we can go up higher but often we need to cry out to God and ask Him to help us to climb,
It is only through His power and strength that we can achieve anything

Not by power, nor by might, but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty (Zechariah 4:6)

It has to be through relationship with Christ Jesus and removing all of our negative reactions to pain and hurt and wounding yet God is above all

 

[JPPT1974]

Only God is only higher than
We will ever be! Always have and always will be!

Only God is only higher than
We will ever be! Always have and always will be!

True but we can press on toward the mark the is set before us in Christ Jesus
