I wrote this poem the other day after prayer, I was feeling the loneliness of the life of a follower of Jesus. Jesus never said it would be easy.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.””
John 16:33 ESV
I bear my cross, even if it feels like loss
I bow my head to pray even when my heart is weary
Your word I read to feed my longing soul
Carry your cross, my child
Denial may only be delay
Share the wisdom I give
And always pray
Cast not pearls before swine
Remember you are divine
Sometimes you will have to walk away
Everyone cannot stay
Lay down your life to gain
Begin again its a new day
Your heart may hurt
Trust my protection and do not stray
Keep my teachings close
Remember the way
I bore my cross for you
I bore my cross for them too
Forgive their sin
Follow me
Today my child be made new
Nothing is ever lost when you give it me
Hope restored I with you faithfully.
