He Is For Me

He is for Me

If He walks with God

If He shares His heart with God

If He is unashamed to be associated with God.

If He has placed the past behind Him

If He has decided to walk with His head held high

If He won’t be deterred by setbacks and barriers.

 

He is for Me

If He is determined to handle Me with dignity

If He has decided to stay with Me, and with Me only

If He has asked God to guide Him in how He can love Me completely.

 

He is for Me

If He remains accountable

If He remains humble

If He keeps Himself unspotted from this world’s enticements.

 

He is for Me

When He walks into a room and sees only Me

When His heart beats faster only when He sees Me

When He has asked God for Me.

 

Then, and only Then

Is He for Me.
