You were goaded
You were chided
Lambasted
Sifted…
The direction of the pull resisted
Non-existent
Minute details you recollect
Disrupting the logic of human intellect
The ring of truth
Pervades your innermost parts
But you say you know His voice
Follow and obey
The conflict
Is nothing new
It was only ever on delay
You peruse me
Examine me
Ear testing words,
As the palate tastes it’s food
And you are challenged to discern
Bad from good
Light from dark
But you fought every bit of the way
Letting go of nothing old
Scrutinizing, over analyzing, smoke and mirrors
But there were none
Only in your own mind
No Pains in admission allowing growth
Searching for the tiniest weakness
To shrink back and say:
False, phony, pretender, wolf you cried
That was the moment fear over-ruled
A potential step over a new threshold
Where a greater faith resided
Nothing ventured
Is nothing gained
Snug within…
A stagnant comfort zone
No, No, No…
“I” won’t have it!
Matthew 26:34
“Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
Great words to remember. Thank you!
