Climbing The Hill....

I Walk Down This Street
Not Sure Who I Will Meet
They Say This Street Is Where I Should Go
But I Know The The Truth

The World Tells Me To Do This & That
If I Follow Their Directions, One Day I Will Fall Down
They Might Know The Current Hype, But I Know Something More

Something Eternal
Something Tangible
Something True
Something Strong
Something Worthwhile

Freedom Came In The Form Of 3 Nails
Such Freedom I Will Never Forget
That Someone Die For Me
But, He Isn't Just Anyone
He Is He

The Maker Of Everything
The Alpha, The Omega
The Beginning, The End

Yet, With Such Knowledge We Tend To Forget
We Tend To Search For Something Else
Something Wrong, Something Uncalled For

We Must Not Fall For The Lies Of The World
We Must Stand Up
We Must Flee
We Must Go Back To The Homeland

Thirst For Knowledge Of His Love
Thirst For His Compassion
Isn't That What This Journey Begins With?

Yes This Road Has Taken Me Many Years
I Started On The Right Path
Yet, When I Came To A Fork In The Road
The Narrow Path Lost It Appeal In Comparison to Easy Street

Now, Here I Am Miles Down Easy Street
Wishing to Find A Way Back To The Narrow Path
It's A Daily Struggle, For The Distance Between The Two Is Far

Everytime I Walk Off Easy Street
The Uphill Climb To The Narrow Path Seems Harder To Do
For At The Slightest Hesitation
I Fall Back Down The Hill

I Long For A Journey To The Cross
A Fellowship With The King
A Brighter Tommorow
A New Future

What Is At The Core Of This Hesitation
What Is Causing Me To Not Reach My Goal
What Is Causing This To Be Harder Than I Could Ever Imagine

The Are Other Places That I've Been Challenged Before
The Are Other Times That I've Decided To Take A Stand
Yet, It Seems Harder Than Ever Before This Time

I Need To Break Out Of This Shell
Of This Small-Minded Mindset
I Need To See The Big Picture
The True Way To Climb This Hill

Maybe He Is Just Waiting For Me To Ask Him For His Help......

  2. its harder this time because you really want it. and the further you go down "easy street," the further you walk away from the right path.

    all those little feeble attempts of living for Christ are easy, sure they work for awhile, but we aren't really serious about it and we fall back into our old ways. when we are ready to make a serious committment to changing out entire lives around and giving them to Christ, that's when it gets hard. Trust me, been there...done that..bought the T-shirt. It wasn't easy. But now I am in such an awesome place with God, and I would never dream of turning back around.

    you're well on your way. those who seek Him shall find Him.

    i'm so proud of you!
