When you are a child <br />Your eyes are full of brightness for life <br />For it is all brand new to you <br />It doesn’t really matter where you go or what you do <br /> <br />You learn from those who are around the most <br />You learn to be proud of your successes <br />You learn how when things go right to rejoice <br /> <br />You go to Church one day and you feel <br />So uplifted and like life is brand new <br />You get saved and how this changes you <br /> <br />The Lord’s Holy Spirit guides you each <br />And every day as you go to him and pray <br />He teaches you his word through reading the Bible <br />And spending time in prayer with him <br />There is so much more he longs to teach you <br /> <br />Knowledge comes in the strangest ways you see <br />For God is so unlike you or me <br />He speaks through others, through certain events, certain places <br />When we never know, but it is in all of these areas of wisdom <br />We grow spiritually <br /> <br />Sometimes we fail to grow as Christians <br />Because we don’t hunger after the things <br />We silently long to know, and do not ask God for his wisdom <br /> <br />Let us seek our Lord’s wonderful face <br />And seek his will to know, and his knowledge as <br />We grow in his Holy presence <br />©Copyright 2003 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-of-wisdom-4/
