The Path I'm On

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?  (1 Cor 3:16 NIV)

I always find it easier to express myself when I write, and often find things flow from me that I wasn’t even aware I was thinking. This is especially so when I write poems. So here is mine for the day:

I started this journey with an open mind,
What gems would I discover, what enlightenment could I find
Does every path lead me to a better way of life
Or could one stumble force me into heartache and strife

The path I chose to take is littered with stories of hope and grace
A recommended way to heal and find your place
But in amidst the tales of hope
Are the failed tales of those who couldn’t cope

The pressures of standing out from the crowd
A nation of people who seem too proud
If this road to happiness is such a great choice
Then why haven’t more people found their voice

If we can live in glory and experience true bliss
Then why would any human being want to give it a miss
Why are we still fighting when we're being told we've already won
What’s the point in competition when the hard bits already done

The more I look at the world outside
The more I want to run and hide
The more I view the pain and distress
The more I want to run from this mess

Maybe that’s why I stumbled on this particular street
Maybe this is the only place for me and my destiny to meet
Maybe it isn't about who finds it or not
Maybe, just maybe, its something we've already got

Maybe our saviour has been here all along
That’s why he can rescue us when we're in the wrong
Patiently he waits there for us to finally see
That by believing in his existence, we can be set free

So this journey may only have just started in my confused mind
But really it had already begun, It's just something I had to find
Now I am conscious of my path, I'm really happy to say
That the Kingdom of Heavenly Glory, gets closer every day

Love Always.x
