My Future Self
“looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was
I’m different now, though not without flaws
Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on
God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn”
- by Unseeking Seeker
Weak as a straw of grain
Easily bent by wind and rain
Flown by spiritual life’s negligence
I’ve awoken, I was no longer content.
I’ve felt life’s spiritual insufficiency
As I’d less time for my Father Almighty
While material things rose and sufficed
I’ve void and spiritual thirst inside.
Consumed by strains of toil
Was derailed facing life turmoil
As deep regrets and shyness overwhelmed
I asked Holy Spirit’s guidance and strength.
As I asked God’s forgiveness
I’ve felt His love and faithfulness
His mercy rekindles me with wisdom
To bear Holy Spirit’s fruits glorifying His kingdom.
God gave me blessed assurance
In the future, old age is not a hindrance
I’ll still be worthy as His humble servant
Proclaiming His words until He comes.
