Philippians 3:1
Repetition

Some things need to be said again,
We often forget things learned when we begin
To add to our knowledge things more profound,
And opportunities for learning more are all around,
Waiting and calling for my immediate attention,
And I have a tendency to forget the impact of things when first mentioned,
That turned on the light of understanding and truth –
And those fundamental things still are of invaluable worth.

I wish to remember my first joy in the Lord
And go back to the beginning and love of the Word
Which seems simple now, but then brought great light
And has impacted me since every day of my life.
Things that are basic never should grow old.
Things that bring change should often be told.
Ways to please God should oft be renewed,
That I might rejoice again in the blessings He showed.

Over and over is a very good way to teach.
Repetition of truth very often will reach
The hearts and minds of others – including mine
Of the things written in scripture, there’s always more to find
That will impact my life and help me to live –
And also will provide me with a lot more to give
To those I connect with in the course of my labor,
Giving much more light as I tell of my Savior.
