Dawn

The place we come and can not dream. A road that ends where one thought there was miles to go.

Then comes the morn to our thoughts. When the path follow shines with a new light. One that helps us see more clearly.

But this never a juncture reach by plan. It would be wonderful if it was. However it never is.

Because the light is one that shine from experience. A point of learning that we have to reach and feel ready to learn.

I was talking to a friend yesterday about God's will in one's life. And how there are times that obedience dictates choice.

This isn't always a popular choice. For mortal eyes gage by different sight than spiritual ones.

Regrettably this will not be something we can always gauge as we want. Because the Lord knows our needs better than we do.

He made have us stay in a situation that seems painful or a hardship, but if we do this as he directs then the end result is a blessing. At the very least it will be insight.

For some happiness or the illusion of happiness is what counts. It is what drives many. However, that is not the focus with the Lord.

He does care about us and love us, but faith is the criteria for obedience not whether we sit an treat our needs as most important. Many lives following His path have suffered when doing could have been important.

But that is the nature of faith when one is listening to God. And it is the part some will never understand.

Because for some only joy counts in a fleeting nature. But it is not the true nature of life. It is not the way things will work with eternity.

Sometimes that is hard to embrace. Especially with those who treat escape as the only option.

They will never do other than spend their time celebrating. And will find that option of sacrifice unacceptable.

Perhaps we can travel beyond that aspect. If we listen to the Lord more than we listen to our hearts.
