Come To The Waters

“Come unto me” …
“Seek ye the Lord”, “call ye upon Him” …
“For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

I am an open book for I am true to myself for
I have inner strength in going through adversities
with determination and sense of self-belief.
My inner strength gives me social courage,
the ability to be true to myself or being authentic
and to express or stand-up for what I believe in, 
regardless of the circumstances for I accepted
and therefore, aware that not everyone will like me.
The inner strength that gives me moral courage, 
the ability to do what is right, what is just and fair,
even when it is hard and the outcome is uncertain and
to take and embrace accountability for my mistakes.

I come and call upon the Lord to thank God, the Father
for His presence in my life and my blessings, gifts, like
talents and traits, from which my inner strength come,
thank the Lord Jesus for guiding and leading me and at
the same time being along side me, ask Him to guide and
lead me the way and I will follow, tell Him I trust in Him
for He is the only One who really knows me, which allows
me to be true to myself, and thank the Holy Spirit for His
help in clearing my mind, when intrusive thoughts occur.
