Long road home
"People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”" Oswald Chambers in "My utmost for His highest."
I did not know,why He let me be,
the man I never wanted to be.....
the man I never wanted to be.....
I thought it was gonna be easy,
but that is not what he had kept for me.
Sometimes, it was desperation,
sometimes just fear and shame,
I was looking for a respite,
but rescue never came.
He was moulding, He was making,
while all I said was "give"
I wanted a quick way to get there..
but He led me the long road home.
On the road, I saw my face in the mirror,
and it was not what I had imagined it would be,
there was an unslightly creature,
and that was exactly me!
On the road, I hurt the ones
I thought I loved the most,
perhaps it was His way,
to teach me what to Him, I had cost.
On the road, I learnt that the things of value
in life is no easy gain,
for every good and great thing,
there is a sacrifice and pain.
On the road, I learnt that the strength in me,
can time and again run dry,
But then he arms me with His power
when my battery begins to die.
On the road, I understood,
It is not so much about getting there.
But what I am made through this sojourn,
in the hands of Him who really cares.
Now, I have just my last mile,
my home is almost there,
thank you Lord, for the long road home.
And I am glad you were with me, all the way.
