Where do we go from here
Where do I go from here? Where do I turn? For even when I turn my face from you, God, you wait in the shadows for a glance and encapsulate me in your love. I am pulled ever closer to you, your protection is what I seek for the mighty blows of the world are upon me and i fear my path. Jaded, I search for answers when in think i have found one, more questions arise. Why the difficulty in comprehending? What is the purpose of this doubt? Why do I question my purpose? My mind spins, my heart aches, and as tears stream from my eyes I am ever humbled by your unconditional love for me. Why, God, must you show me compassion, show me tenderness, show me love when I feel like a failure? I wander this path, lost yet not frightened as I leave my safety in your hands. You will show me the way, you will guide my path, you will bring me to dry ground. For the heavy rains are weighing me down, making for a slow journey. As I break I see that it is in the tranquility of this slow journey that my faith is strengthened, I have learned the true meaning of the greatest commandment and I now know love. It is this love that I have found in you, I now find in me, and find in my relationships. For all things have now become complete. No longer searching for meaning, i walk the overgrown path once in a while but never do I need to watch out for thorns, rattle snakes or caverns. For the thorns can be picked out, ointment applied and wounds healed. Rattlers, if I leave them alone, they will leave me alone. The caverns once leery for they can be deep, unseen, with jagged rocks are exposed in the light of the sun and deemed to be stepping stones to my faith. As my faith expounds I find a new me, I find a stronger me, I find a secure me for I am in the arms of God.
