Tangled Mess

My life can seem a tangled mess

Despite the grace I’ve known.
In fact, I think the biggest thorns
Grow from the seeds I’ve sown.
I lay my plans, in all my pride,
Thinking I’ll see them through,
With never a thought given to
Stopping to talk with You.
 
But even though the tangles grow
With such abundant glee,
And I am caught within their grasp
With no escape to see,
I know that even then Your love
Will not abandon me;
That You will lead me through the thorns
Until I’m once more free.
 
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
