One step at a time

When one finally surrenders to Jesus, they are filled with emotions unlike anything they have ever experienced.  We tend to get excited about our new life and want to go full steam ahead. Well that can back fire. As with any change in our lives, it takes baby steps. We need to take one at a time. When learning to listen to the Lord, he won't let us move forward until we've mastered the step we are on.
I wrote this one a while back but actually forgot I had. I'd like to share this with you now. My hopes are that if you are just starting out or perhaps you are stuck on a step that you take a step back and really ask if you are ready to move on. If you can't answer that then you know what you need to do. Look up and ask. It's not a race to see who finishes first, it's how we go along that matters.
Let's do this one stepping stone at a time.

Stepping Stones to You

Standing here upon the ground
searching all around
for ways to climb to You
Keep falling no matter what I do
Oh Abba Father can you help me please?

Standing here on the bottom step
wondering which way to climb
Have not found a path yet
I call out to You
Oh Lord, Will you help me through?

Up the steps I leap
Only to fall back into a heap
Patient I must be

Standing here upon this stone
Suddenly feeling all alone
Abba where are you?
Please tell me what to do
Where do I go from here?

With each step I climb
more of You I will find
Help me Lord to stay strong
through this battle of good and wrong

Some steps are too much for me
I cannot see the next step arise
If I look to You who is wise
You will pull me up.

Standing here upon this step
I can't help but look up
And though I have much more to climb
I know one day I’ll bow before Your throne
I know I can make it, I am not alone.

Help me Father God to take each step upon these stones
in faith that you'll be there waiting for me
with hope that you'll welcome me
and with love to You that grows in me.


About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
