Poetry Let Go...Let God

In my arrogance,And in my pride,I march forthThinking to take by storm my life.Until things crumble all aroundAnd I find,My foundation, center,I’ve left behind.I’m overwhelmedThe harder I strive,Bitterness follows on anger’s tail,Shadows cover heart and mind.Yet, I struggle on alone,On my own, searching for a lifeline,People, work, goals, money, more…In one mode, survival--mine!Until I stop, realize truth--He still beckons,The one I left behind--Jesus Christ,Who still offers guidance, healing, hopeIf I…But come and take His hand,Let go my pride,Embrace the one I left behind and find,Wholeness, joy, light...and life."Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."-- Matthew 11:28By Carolyn R ScheidiesRead more like this in Journey of FaithPrint and Kindle versions
