God’s Light

The salt of my tears have seasoned years
I am not bitter for I see the blessing
By His stripes we are healed
And He had no sin yet I do
Confessing I have been less than
And created confusion in my life
Despite the word being a map
I stubbornly tried to find my own way
Only to fall back into the vastness 
Of God’s love and mercy
His ways are not our ways
But His path is a light
I open my eyes to see

What a powerful write you have here. Our ways and God's ways are not always the same. I have found God's are better. Have a blessed day writing away.........

I'm all in on this one Karen. We live in an increasingly agnostic, atheistic world. To each his/her own but I'm keeping the faith to the end
