CAUGHT WITHIN HIS WILL<\/p>\n

04-13-2014<\/p>\n

Though at times I have gone astray,
\nStubbornly went my own foolish way,
\nNevertheless, God loves me still,
\nBecause I’m caught within His Will.<\/p>\n

In my life, I’ve done many a thing,
\nEven some which only sadness bring,
\nBut through my mistakes I know now,
\nThat in the end, to His Will we bow.<\/p>\n

God knows best, He’s made it plain,
\nTo fight His Will is a fight in vain,
\nMuch better it is to yield the knee,
\nThan go on resisting Him stubbornly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
