Arduous path; a narrow road of hope amidst an immense world of
fear, sorrow, and death.
Human instinct to earn a right of passage, to gain through the
toil of hands.
Foreign concept of grace, hesitance to rest in a debt paid in
full, the ultimate sacrifice.
Relinquish the desire to control; the shackles have been broken,
no longer bound by self-restraint.
Rest with confidence in the eternal assurance.
Nonetheless, fear strikes with violent force.
The unrelenting allure of the pleasures of flesh, infringes on
the fortitude of righteousness.
Questions, reinforced by the voice of close-minded
persecution,
feed the tendency of second-guessing, breeding doubt and
confusion.
Temporal perspective yields finite understanding;
dwelling on earthly wisdom, shadowed by perceptions of truth.
Reliance on personal strength weakens the foundation of the power
of faith.
A Holy fire now resides inside, unfathomed potential, power of
the Divine.
Eternal strength will prevail through life’s trials and
travails.
Joy is found through struggle, negating despair.
Power and majesty and sovereign truth rise above the ashes of
this crumbling world.
