Go To the Ant, Thou Sluggard

I carry you when you can walk no more. I lead you so all you have to do is follow. I provide for you that you have need of nothing. Yet; you lack faith in me... I make your every path accessible with strength. I guide you down every path you take. I give you courage and grace enough for each day. Yet; you fear what tomorrow may bring... I protect you from harm. I shield you with my love through every storm. I stand always with you and never forsake you. Yet; you still place trust in man and thyself... " Go to the ant, thou sluggard! " For he has faith in what he does not see; he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows that I will provide. I love you more than man will ever know. I am your harbor, you beacon, your light. I turn you not away when you come at my call. yet; you reach not for my outstretched hand... I bore your sins and cast them into the sea of forgetfullness. I covered you in my she dblood. I gave myself for you and now you live in me and I in you. Yet; you waver about with doubts as the wind upon the sea... " Got to the ant, thou sluggard! " For he has faith in what he does not see; he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows that I will provide!
