The Power Of The Will Poem by Martin Greyford

The tempted ones need to understand the true force of the will.
This is the governing power in the nature of man,
-The power of decision, of choice.
Everything depends on the right action of the will.
Desires for goodness and purity and right,
So far as they go;
But if we stop here, they avail nothing.
Many will go down to ruin while hoping and
Desiring to overcome their evil propensities.
They do not yield the will of God.
They do not choose to serve Him.

God has given us the power of choice;
It is ours to exercise.
We can not change our hearts,
We can not control our thougts,
Impulses,
Our affections.
We can not make ourselves pure,
Fit for God's service.
But we can choose to serve God,
We can give Him our will,
Then He will work in us to will
And to do according to His good pleasures.
Thus our whole nature will be brought under the control of Christ.
Through the right exercise of the will,
an entire change may be made in the life.
Lets use the power of the will in everything we do
