We are in the Father's hands to Him we are a treasure.
He created us and like this sparkling globe, when we shine it gives him pleasure.
There are many ways that we can shine with the light of Jesus our Savior.
Life on earth is training for heaven, time to achieve Christ-like behavior.
Whether its circumstances, people or our time God uses all things to encourage change.
A test of how we react or who we trust, as for time He gives us freedom to arrange.
We're not just a puppet on a string He gives us the "free will" to choose;
How much of our lives we will give to him, how much of this world we're willing to lose.
My heart longs to give all to Jesus, though I daily find things get in the way.
With God's grace I press on to win, the glorious prize one day.
"What is the prize?", you might ask, my response would have to be,
To know more of Christ and in Him trust as Paul says in Philippians Chapter Three.
