My Obscured View

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I look each day to try and find

A bit of You in me,

But what I’m seeking is obscured

By what is plain to see.

 

I see the lack of faith that leads

To doubts that plague my mind.

I see the longings piling up,

That I should leave behind.

I see the angry thoughts I hold,

When I should be more kind.

And when trouble knocks at my door,

Blessings seem hard to find.

 

I must admit, to my dismay,

I still can’t clearly see

The You I hope someday to find

Unobscured within me.

 

Matthew 17:20

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
