My Response to Christ – v2

So, pilgrim, what is your response to Christ?

that is a hard question to answer, isn’t it

something to ponder, to lament, in answering;

I turned my back, I walked away, I denied Him

for most of my life, though I knew He was there

I wanted my needs, my desires, my wants met

immediately, to be given by the world’s standards

what I needed was simple faith,

of the woman with hemorrhages, the widow

who gave her two coins, all she had, the foreigners,

who believed when the chosen did not

To turn my life over to him, to walk where

I am sent, to believe enough, to trust

Walking today, in a new life I didn’t imagine,

blessed in so many ways

thankful every day

for the gifts heaped upon me

God’s means of grace

all around me

the Spirit calling

to share the words

God gives me; this is my response
