In Your eyes, I am a child
But like a child I am prone to wander
From the safe harbor of Your perfect love
I often wade into a pool of anxious thoughts
Until waves of fear threaten to overtake me
Despite the abundance of Your provision
I often catch myself counting the cost
Doubting that my loaves & fishes will ever be enough
Even though Your yoke is easy & Your burden light
I often find myself buckling beneath the load
Weighed down with things You never gave me
In spite of Your amazing grace toward me
I often encounter my lack of patience for others
So quick to throw up my hands & walk-away
When I look to the past
I feel shame
When I stare at the darkness
I feel its pull
When I glance in the mirror
I feel weak
When I see the world
I feel its chaos
But when I look to You
A river of peace spills over me
You are my hope
And in You I am complete
O that my eyes would remain fixed upon You
Well spoken Bryan. You’ve captured the heart of what the majority of believers feel, and hope. I applaud your willingness to expose vulnerability, humility, weakness and faith – components essential for us to be human, and divinely indwelt.
Your transparency makes it so easy for others to be able to say,”yes this is me!” Very beautiful with a powerful and most profound truth. Thank you Bryan. 🙂
