Here's a poem I wrote a few years back. I was born and raised in Christchurch, but moved to Wellington in the 80's, and it's fair to say it took some time to adjust to life in a completely different city. Things changed not long after this, when I met the woman I would marry (see 'Real Friends Tell Their Friends The Truth). Enjoy!
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it
more abundantly." (John 10:10). This means that I need to get rid of those things in my life that hold me back from enjoying the abundant life God has given me, right? Or I have to bind and rebuke the devil for trying to rob me of my abundant life, right? Wrong.
