My Epiphany

I've been walking down a road 

Thinking I could hold my own.

Didnt want any help from anyone or

Anything.

 

It was good for a while 

Until my test,

My first trial

Came and knocked me down on my knees. 

 

It was then when I saw 

That I couldn't do it all 

And that I was so 

Weak. 

 

With my head bowed down

Feeling humble,not proud

I begged God to forgive and 

To lead me.

 

Within that moment, I found his mercy 

and peace. 

 

Now a new, refound soul

I felt like I had the power

To do anything without the

Holy One Above.

 

Sadly, that glory was short lived

When temptation came in the form of men

And lust feverishly rised within

Causing me to sin

 

With now dark clouds around me,

I felt lost from His path

And from his everlasting,

Unfailing love. 

 

With my head bowed down
 
Feeling humble,not proud
 
I begged God for his forgiveness 
 
Which I wasn't worthy of. 
 
 
 
Within that moment, I felt his grace and 
 
Love.
 
 
Foolishly, like a trend
 
Thinking I had the power within
 
To overcome sin,
 
I thus failed again.
 
 
Like a miracle from above,
 
Once I had given up,
 
God let me know why I had 
 
failed each time with sin
 
 
He said, " Child, you can not
 
be anyone or do anything
 
in this world or the next
 
without my anointing."
 
 
Like a lightning bolt giving power,
 
From that day, second,
 
And hour
 
I no longer felt astray.
 
 
For God openned my eyes,
 
And told me that "I can do
 
everything through Christ
 
who strengthens me."
 
Philippians 4:13
