The Difficult Path

What looks foolish will bring great reward
For those who truly fear The Lord
And you will find that in the end
It pays.

Talk & listen, walk & pause,
Walk & yet barely hear
That still, small voice that beckons us,
Draws us, & affirms our chosen path.

Did we choose it?
Not exactly.
Did we know the cost?
Not really.

How hard the journey
Would require us to lay down
Every comfort
Every hope for ease
And endure harsh words,
Bruised toes,
And bruised egos
Stretching us to take just one more step.

How can we do it?
This is not easy.
What gives us strength?
Is Christ alone.
