Spirituality for Today – February 2008 – Volume 12, Issue 7

I'm fighting like a boxer.
Something solid do I hit.
Not just swinging in the air.
I keep my Spirit fit.

I treat my body hard.
Make it like a slave.
I will not follow foolishness.
God's truth helps me be brave.

Training helps me in some ways.
In this life and the future too.
Serving God, it brings me peace.
And helps me go on through.

I have people all around me.
Who show what faith means.
The race that's set before me.
Is run together as a team.

I will never give up hope.
I'll remove what holds me back.
Jesus is the only One.
Who keeps my faith on track.
