Waves of Doubt

I am writing this poem just for you You know who I am referring to You are the one that tosses and turns as you can’t decide if this dream is for you The Lord has promised a brighter tomorrow He has promised to make all of His children’s dreams come true Did he exclude YOU? No, he most certainly did not He promised a better tomorrow He promised to be on the other side of the horizon He promised that if we held tightly to his mast That he would guide us through stormy waters He is our anchor and he is our guide He calmed the waves of the sea one night He is walking across the waters and looking directly at you He says, “Come out on the water! I want to talk to you!” “Why do you toss and turn like a wave in the ocean?” “Why do you need me to give you one thousand reassurances?” “Is your faith that shallow?” “Is your journey any less significant than the next?” I say “No, my son. Your journey has just begun.” “Stay close to me and I will walk with you on these waves of doubt.” “Don’t cast me out.” “Hold my hand and stay the course. This journey is not what you think. It is so much more!” Gwendolen Rix 10-3-14 James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
