For As Long As It Takes

Waiting Patiently

Head down in bitter anguish

You’ve fallen to your knees;

There is deep despair

So apparent in your pleas.

All hope has not been lost…

I’ll help you understand;

Please, child, just look up–

And take hold of my hand.

It is never God that walks away, closes the door or chooses to ignore. In my darkest hours, He is always there to love and comfort me; to offer guidance and heal my broken heart if only I will allow Him the privilege.

Just Keep Going

Choices

The road is long;

I’m tired and slow.

I must continue;

I have so far to go.

I travel on,

And frequently I see

Another fork

Just up ahead of me.

I must decide.

It’s hard and I complain.

The narrow way,

It has such rough terrain.

The wider path,

Worn down, less of a chore

Is so inviting.

And there are many more

Who seem content

To take the easy way.

But I resist;

I choose the narrow way.

Reality

Pride

I celebrate my progress

While here on my plateau;

Then patiently, God shows me

How far I have to go.
