Hebrews 12:1-2a

"Let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with Endurance
the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith."
Hebrews 12:1-2a

The opportunity is here

Do not resist
Do not run
from pain-filled days
that enter
and stay for a time

Do not rely
on yourself
your reasonings

Come to the Lord God
who sees all
hears all
understands all
trudges beside you
before you
behind you
in all days
of uncertainty

You ask
seek opportunities
to serve
Do we know ...

How can it be
the problem
the burden
the trial
the difficulty
the stress
is an opportunity
to show another
the way
of Jesus

We asked
We said
we would go
we wanted to serve
together

The opportunity is here

The door opens
and we step in
a choice made
to rely on
Jesus
for the strength
desperately needed

He is our everything
in the midst of
every thing
that comes

Every situation, circumstance
undergone
can make us stronger
when the way we travel
is the way
He instructs us

Our human emotions
make us crumble
but it is still
to the Lord
we look
for stability
and security

Jesus
Oh how we need Jesus

There is nothing to be gained
without Him
We are lost,
floundering

We look to Him
for hope
with hope
in Hope
and we pray
the opportunity
that is here
He will bring us
safely through
together.

  1. This reminds me so much of a dream I had a couple of months ago. It started out as a nightmare, but when I got to the brink I just said, "Jesus" and all fear was gone and I stepped forward. I immediately awoke and was at peace, not like you usually feel after a bad dream. I think your nightmare is over and you are at the brink and ready to step forward into the unknown, and I hope you are feeling that peace that passes all understanding. Much love and prayers to both of you! And thank you for sharing this walk with us.
