Poetry
If there is a wall
Between my God and me...
I have built it...
Brick by brick;
Mortaring it with my own stubborn pride.
If I cannot hear God's voice
The ears of my soul are shut...
His voice is low and uninvasive,
But always welcomes and offers communion with me.
When worry
Threatens to overwhelm,
And I begin to drown
In fear and doubt...
I set sail into the unknown
Thinking my wisdom enough to guide my life;
I didn't see the rocky shore of problems
Greater than my knowledge or ability
To change situations or course...
God did...
He is forever remodeling my walls...
Building gates for my escape...
They have never been locked.
Forgiveness was always on the other side.
No voice has comforted my spirit
Like the gentle sound of the One
Who gave His life to save it...
My soul knows its origin and nothing else will do.
Jesus is the Captain I need...
He is larger than anything that is greater than me...
His Love the only raft I need
To keep bring me through great waves of living.
I want to seek God every day...
To listen for His voice...
To embrace the joy of living...
Never wondering
What is beyond the horizon of the day...
Completely confident and at rest in my mind...
I only want to trust.
