There Will Be A Day

by Yvonne Boehne

There will be a day when I lay down my crown at his feet.

Unworthy, but redeemed, broken, but made whole, undeserving, but loved beyond measure.

Until that day comes, I will continue to run the race that has been set before me.

I will keep trusting, I will keep on surrendering and denying myself daily so that I may pick up my cross and keep pressing on in the faith and following Jesus.

I will keep my eyes fixed on eternity because my hope is not in this world or in vain, but in the One who overcame the world and defeated death once and for all!

There will be a day....and oh what a glorious day that will be!

Every heart will know, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Soli Deo Gloria!!

I cannot wait for that day, but in the meantime, I will keep on living for Jesus and falling in love with God day after day and praising Him through it all! Amen!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!

<p>&quot;This poem isn&#39;t just about one day, but it&#39;s about every single day until that day comes.</p><p>Each morning that we wake up is another chance to be fully surrendered and devoted to Jesus, to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and walk in full obedience, despite the cost.</p><p>Faith isn&#39;t meant to be passive. It&#39;s not a Sunday thing or a feel-good moment. Faith is a daily choice, a surrender, and a devotion to Jesus - and that&#39;s worth it.</p><p>There will be a day when the waiting comes to an end. A day when every heart will know, when every knee will bow, and when every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. So don&#39;t live a half-hearted faith.</p><p>Don&#39;t get comfortable in a world that is slowly fading away, but live ready, live surrendered, and keep running in faith with joy the race set before you. The same Jesus who conquered death is coming again, and until that day, we keep pressing on.</p><p>Till that day, we keep trusting, we keep praising, because our hope isn&#39;t in this world but it&#39;s in the One who overcame it. I am so excited because there will be a day.....and oh, what a glorious day it will be!!</p><p>And to those who have yet to surrender your heart to Jesus, hear this: He is not waiting for perfection, or for you to straighten yourself up for Him. He is waiting for your yes. Jesus wants you as you are, and not a polished version of yourself.</p><p>There will come a day, a day when every heart will know, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Don&rsquo;t wait until that day to realize it&#39;s too late. Today is the day to choose Him. Today is the day to surrender to God fully, to trust Him completely, and to live a life that is for God alone. Jesus conquered death. He defeated sin.</p><p>He offers redemption freely, and He is calling you right now. But will you answer? Will you turn your heart to Him and find eternal life, the peace, and the hope that will never fade? The choice is yours, but the to choose time is now.&quot; ~ Yvonne Boehne&nbsp;</p>
