I was browsing the statistics of my blog and noticed someone had visited the ‘My Faith’ page. I am so happy when people read that page because it is a witness for Jesus. It got me thinking and I read the page myself for yet another time. It helps to reflect on things I think, it helps you to stay focused and on the right path in life. I wrote a poem some time ago called reflections which describes what I was thinking at that time. Whenever I look back over the things I’ve done in the past I sometimes wonder why I’d done them but then I think maybe it was all supposed to be that way. Life is a learning curve that never ends until you take your last breath. If you’ve gotten things wrong by then it is all too late. A few years ago I worried some about many things but since I discovered Jesus and became a Christian I worry about nothing. I have a healthy respect and anxiety of course but I believe God will get me through my life and there is no need to worry. Here is that poem, you can also find it in my poems pages.
Reflections
I know not when the Sun will fade
Nor when the seas will dry,
Nor do I know why grass is green
And why so blue, the sky,
I know not where the birds all go
When daylight is all gone
And night brings forth her darkening shroud
Save for a shining Moon,
I cannot count the grains of sand
Which lie upon a shore,
And do I know the Universe
Will be forever more?
I cannot reason why there’s hate
Instead of love and peace,
Why suffering is someone’s lot
While others have a feast,
I can’t deny those things I feel
Nor what my eyes can see,
I know not why that you are you
And why that I am me,
I know that in the scheme of things
We are but very small,
And wonder often why it is
That we are here at all,
But after all is said and done
Regardless of my plight,
I’ll just forget my weaknesses
And get on with my life.

So now I live my life without worrying too much about things I have no control over. Stay focused, there is no need to worry if God is on your side.
