Don't Run
I pursue you and you flee the opposite way
I speak softly while you ignore what I say
the further you run, the more you forget
that in my presence is the only true place to sit
away from the fear and pain of this life
allowing me to carry every worry and strife
for my yoke is easy and my burden is light
when you cry out to me in the dark of the night
so don't turn your face when I call your name
and I promise, my child, you'll never be the same
This is just a poem I wrote for this new year... I guess I felt that during the end of this past year, I was running from God and not seeking Him. I kind of lost my desire to know Him and grow in Him... I prayed for God to light a fire in me and wake me up to the wonders of His love and He answered my prayers, as He always does. Thank you God for loving me and desiring me even when I ignore you and for never giving up on me... Help me live every second of my life as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to you, my Lord.
