Past Patterns

Patterns of our past may or may not
reveal that the die has been cast.
However, such revelations may give
clues to the real you.

When navigating the path of our dreams,
we long to unravel and make sense of every
scene. We remember the visions we had seen.

While gazing into the rear, it becomes clear that indeed,
we strutted upon the stage of life and did our best
to execute our plans, but discovered that it is
The Lord who orders our steps.

Although sincere in our prior pursuits,  upon such
discovery, we are pleased to learn who we really are
And what The Master Designer had in mind when He
Made us.  It is then when we become really free,
Because we have seen the pattern that God made
For us.

We learn that we are not a builder but an architect,
Not an explorer but a producer,  not a leader but an
Administrator, not a speaker but a writer. You have
Always had eyes, but now you see clearly.

Often that is when the drive to excel is altered.
Our ambitions are redefined. Our inward being is
inspired afresh and like a well-watered flower, we
are renewed and begin to blossom where we have
been properly planted, and thrive again.
