The Unseen... Ordained

Just a few steps 
and you’re there, 
just a few beats of 
the heart and the battle are won…

Imagine if you didn’t just give up
how far would you have been? 
Just imagine if our Master
gave up on us this easily,
where would we be?

What would have become of us?
It’s a matter of choice
you can either forge  ahead
with the heartache, broken promises
and moments of anger
then give up without knowing,
always wondering …

What would have happened next?
Where would I have ended up?
Is this what He had planned for me?
Maybe this is where I’m supposed to be,
maybe I should have taken that job,
maybe I should have jumped,
maybe I should have taken the plunge…

A whole lot of possibilities go unexplored
because we’re scared,
because we lose faith
because we don’t trust
 the One that brought us thus far…
