Step Aside

Sometimes there's situations When you have to step aside. There is nothing more that you can do, Though it's hard to realize, That maybe you are in the way, And standing in between, Sometimes you have to step aside, Before God will intervene. His work, he can do better, If there's no one in the way. There's only so much we can do, And so much we can say. For He is so much greater, On His assurance, we can lean. Sometimes we have to step aside, Before God will do anything. Yes, there will be heartaches, When you have to step aside. God understands you, And He will be your guide. Just place it all in His great hands, By your side He will abide. He knows that you still love the one, For whom you've stepped aside.

Thank you, John, for your up-lifting comments. I think I needed to hear this as I have not listened to that still small voice that speaks to my inner self in a long time. I don't write for fun or competition, just from experience and a lot of faith. Mainly, my deep love for a saviour that knows my name and has given me purpose. Thanks, again
