MENTOR

Leave a comment

I seldom think after who to follow, where to begin or what to see

Vanity skids through my consciousness leaving no room for the emergence of the true me

My ideals sprout from the knowledgeable size of my restricted mind

A phenomenon vaguely real in the covert borders of my self will

Daily I lounge at the vines picking out the foxes that spoil the challenging in me

The perfect life I seek to lead but in totality, nothing my effort seems to yield

For with insight revealed, a personality I glean from

Nothing possessed by me seem to equate the truth from Him

Through Him I tend to see, the past a shadow, the present a storm and future rest assured.

Humanity proves to wrestle with God a stupidity and to disbelieve an animosity

To whom then shall we cleave to suture our weakened beings

I hope for His gift of wisdom to grant me a trail at courage’s feet

I stand in His victory taking strength at the source to fight in faith

The uprooting of the God-mind in me

Via nature, the wonder of His words are seen

The marking of dawn filled with loving spree

To know your love and remain in grace I do plead

Teach my soul to wait and hope on your saving Spirit

For you are my root, my goal and salvation

I will delight in you and peace to my spirit will follow

Away away they always seem to go,

Time is precious and life is spinning away.

From dawn to dusk, birth to death,

Always trying to gain without appreciating the last deed.

Seemingly discontented , never at peace forgetting all is vanity.

Always quick to anger and to speak but slow to listen and reason

Even if James 1:19 proves it the other way round.

We live in a changing world of compromise

Although we have hopes of eternal life so try to match up to the expected standards.

Is dere a way out, many seem to say but create shades of grey

Simply because white or black is just too hard.

With no self control, we try to dwell where there’s no middle ground

But push out d fact that two masters can’t be served.

A time to sow, a time to reap, a time for patience n a time to be swift

But how it is spent depends on you.

The question is am I heading the right way or have i missed what i would have gained

If only I took time to hear, believe and obey?

Jesus said  the same measure you deal out will be dealt to you so judge not.

Imitate Christ whose mission was to heal
