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
