walking-away

“If man only has the will to walk, then God is pleased with his stumbles.” – C S Lewis.

When choosing direction,

When pondering the call,

There’s no greater distraction

Than the thought you might fall.

 ~~~~~~~~      

Hear the well-intentioned say:

Step out, there’s nothing to lose.

You’ll glorify Him anyway

No matter what you choose.

 ~~~~~~~~

Profession or passion,

Working woman or wife,

A thousand ways to fashion and

Spend your only life.

 ~~~~~~~~

But so many choices!

Such numerous roads!

A million other voices

While the confidence erodes.

 ~~~~~~~~

You’re struggling to prove

There is truth to your faith,

And there’s pressure to move

While He’s telling you, ‘wait’.

 ~~~~~~~~

So quiet all the noise,

Turn from demands,

Tune in to one voice

And hear His commands.

 ~~~~~~~~

Love people, leave sin,

For Christ forsake all –

Such a life lived for Him,

Perhaps that is all

 ~~~~~~~~

That matters in the end

When all is said and done.

Still have a life to spend,

But I’m free in His Son.

~~~~~~~~ 

I’m gonna get it wrong,

But that’s okay.

Through the One who is strong,

I’ll soon find the way.

 ~~~~~~~~

So why don’t we talk

Of the false starts and fumbles?

I have the will to walk,

And He’s pleased with my stumbles.
