The past few years have been challenging for many. Our family included. The thing with life is – it will always be challenging at times. So why not learn from each challenge and trial that comes your way and choose to lean on Christ to get you through.
Today I received some startling news
And now I am left standing at a place I must choose.
One path is anger and bitterness too.
Resentment and choices I can’t ever undo.
The other is narrow and incredibly straight –
I’m not sure my sorrow can even fit through the Gate.
And if, somehow, I manage to take it,
Do I have the strength to full undertake it?
Do I have the power within to do what it takes?
To fully forgive, let go, my sorrows forsake?
How much easier it’d be to simply hold on –
Hold onto the pain till my life is all gone.
But, oh, how heavy – my sorrows to bear.
If I don’t make it through with the right kind of care.
So, with that in mind, I’ll choose the straight road
With kindness, forgiveness, and love a la mode.
For Jesus is there waiting to greet.
To help and to lift these travel worn feet.
And I’ll pass on to him this new heavy load
And with peace I will know – I’m on the right road.
