The past seldom refines
1 Corinthians 13:12
12 For now, we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
Confusion
Searching in the past for who I ought to be
a maze of confusion for the taking
The future can’t last … now for all to see
is a pretense for the better … always faking?
Lives build on habits … the best passing by
mediocrity a chosen garment
Almost like a rabbit in its final cry
when it gets crushed by a varmint
All by design but far from the original
depravity knits its own conclusion
Seldom refined by a chosen principal
seems the last straw in self-improved confusion
What if the end is already past me?
What if my blindness rules the day?
What if my lent was never to be
could I follow Christ this way?
