Left or Right

image

I warily approach
A split on the worn path
Reminiscing of times
The journey went left and right

Where do they lead?

Left hurries me
To distant places
Where there is a notable cost
Right carries me
To the warmth of home
Where Christ is

I cringe at the thought of left
But its desires seductively
Draw me closer
Like a whiff of pleasing aroma
Eliciting to attain lasting pleasure
Of the senses

Right is arduous to start
At times it feels like
Just obeying
And I wonder
Can I handle its overbearing weight?

But as I faithfully step out
I am adoringly joined by Him
And He carries the burdensome weight

Allowing me to just be

What He asks
He delivers by His hand
That is the greatness
Of the great I AM
