Walking a new path

Walking in the path of light,
Not of own tirelessly fight.
But of a broken and contrite heart,
Clinging to this new creation not to part.
I must become less of worldly ways,
Drawn in as a sheep that shall not stray.
Buried the Oldman by the quickening spirit
In that day from a humble cry, you did visit
Refined unto the glorious riches enticed,
To be purified unto the likeness of Christ.

We are human and we fall off that path and turn around to find our way back. It is a learning process with the help of the Holy spirit to guide us daily. love phyl

Amen, that we might remain humble that its not of our own works but through the guidance and purification of the Holy Spirit that we might become a dwelling place of the Living God to reign within, much love and prayers for you <3
