How are we supposed to witness,

When our lives are falling apart?

How are we supposed to shine,

When darkness eclipses our Godly-heart?

 

We try so hard to please our Lord,

But often fall so miserably short;

We wish to spread the Blessed News,

But the heathen disregard our Heavenly-report.

 

God put us here on earth,

To be faithful and obedient,

But every day we make poor choices,

Which (per the Word) are not expedient.

 

Success can’t be judged from our perspective,

If it was, we would be deeply distressed,

But God has promised to cast our failures,

As far as East is separated from West.

 

We want so much to spread the Light,

That Jesus put within our souls,

But every day we’re opposed by those,

Who would rather burn us with their coals.

 

Most days are such a struggle,

Just to refrain from lashing back,

At those that fire their evil darts,

And diligently plan their next attack.

 

We must still attempt to do our best,

To reflect His Light onto the lost,

But it is just a shame that evil rejects,

A Gift attained at such a cost.

 

So we must take solace in the FINISHED WORK,

That Jesus performed upon the Cross,

It is only through our Lord and Savior,

That prevents our Eternal loss.

 

So how much profit do we bring,

When the walls are tumbling down?

We must remember that despite travail,

We’ll ultimately wear the Watcher’s Crown.

 

It is not for us to judge our fate,

No matter how much we stumble and fall,

For our destiny is placed in Jesus’ Hand,

And that pretty much says it all!
