The Bloom and The Thorn

 

They seem to be at war in me,

The thorns and the bright bloom.

Though I try to live in His truth,

Those thorns don’t leave much room.

If I get lost inside my thoughts

I find that I’m astray.

My doubts and fears lead me down paths

That take me the wrong way.

But if I keep my eyes on Him

The world I tend to see

Is filled with beauty, born in Him,

As it is meant to be.

Daniel 10:19

And he said, “O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
