Pursuit — The Journey

Sometimes it’s hard to see,
ㅤ hard to know,
Where I’m supposed to go.
Where I’m supposed to be.
Who I’m supposed to be.

Where God?
Where do you want me?
Why don’t I feel,
ㅤ why don’t I exude,
Your great power?
Am I not…

Acceptable?

Am I not good enough?
Good enough to feel,
ㅤ to be filled with,
Your power?

For I am ready,
ㅤ I am willing,
To go.
To do your will.
To spread your word.
I am ready to…

Go

But you tell me to stay.
You speak to me.
You say,
ㅤ “Your journey is here.
Your journey is where you are…Now”

And then you showed me.
As I stayed,
ㅤ as I journeyed,
Here…
You showed me.
Gave me a word.
A word to share.
And in this sharing I saw.
I saw,
ㅤ I felt,
You at work.
I saw,
ㅤ I felt…

You

And my faith…
My belief in you…

Grew

My life,
ㅤ my vision,
Was renewed.

I could better see my journey.
I could see my journey is here.
Where I am.
Where you are.

I saw that by staying here,
ㅤ I could carry you to others.
And in that I saw,
ㅤ I felt,
How much you care.
How much you value…

Me

So, help me Lord.
Help me to listen.
Help me to hear.
Prepare me Lord.
Prepare me to share.

I am ready Lord.
You have wrecked me,
ㅤ so I am ready.
I am ready to go.
Ready to journey.

For now I know…
My journey is today.
My journey is here.
My journey is…

Now

a bit of performance art, written in real time — I wrote as the speaker spoke…
