These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Certainty

How do we live with certainty through years?
How do we heal abuse from when we're small?
Will God replace a confidence for fears?
Will Hope be there to keep us from a fall?

How does a child learn certainty when young?
Can children learn appropriately to choose?
How do we learn sweet notes until they're sung?
How do we learn what's truth and not a ruse?

How do we help an older soul to heal?
How do we bless when choosing causes fear?
Can certainty of life become so real,
that what was past may finally be clear?

This life is short. Mistakes will soon be gone.
The Lord fore'er Salvation He has won.
