The Pain the Price the Sacrifice ~Poem by Tammy Niemi

Cowards always run and hide, but the heroes take a stand and look inside.
The truth it hurts while lies conceal, the truth that God would wish to reveal.
Pain is a blessing to show us what is wrong, and out of it comes a thanksgiving praise song.
Pain brings the true person to the surface to be seen by all, but the world medicates it preferring to fall.
The world has spiritual leprosy making them numb and loving complacency.
To be a disciple means to discipline the self, to give to others and increase your heavenly wealth.
To knowingly sin and cause pain in your brother is to indulge in yourself as if there were no other.
Consider the cost to follow the Christ as He was willing to pay the price,
To endure the pain of loss and separation so that we may have eternal life manifestation.
It is a hard and narrow way to follow what the Master's planned but He promised He would be there to hold our hand.
Wrong may seem so right but hold it up to the light to see, the hardest decision to make is the decision to be free!
