GRIPE OR GRIP

A GRIPE is an attitude or posture

That displays the web of anger today.

A gripe is historical misery with memories.

Gripes stifle any interest to pray.

Gripes involve “me and my” stuff.

Gripes affect all issues at hand.

Gripes often carry evil with them.

Gripes are NOT part of God’s Plan.

Gripes enjoy misery and love company.

Gripes can become recipes for war.

Gripes give credit to the offender.

Gripes control and often grow more!

But a GRIP, oh a grip involves God’s freedom.

A grip is a suitcase full of  joy.

A grip is a handle that offers changes.

A grip is your choice to employ.

“GET a GRIP” is an expression of challenge.

“GET A GRIP” speaks of loneliness and pain.

“GET A GRIP” is God’s offer to help you.

“GET a GRIP” or ungodly controls will remain!

A grip is God’s handclasp with surrender.

A grip is an attitude of Grace.

A grip is no longer lonely,

Because a grip includes a glimpse of His Face!

If I choose to “get a Grip” from my Savior,

If I choose to walk away from Satan’s ties

God promises to lift, hold and heal me

Revealing loveliness in me that was disguised!

It is my decision if I want to remain a “GRIPER”

It is my choice to forgive all that pain.

But I am the one who looses the blessing.

If a “GRIPER” I decide to remain!
