Poem: In Search of a Maturing Faith

I once believed with a childlike searching heart,

Blessed by my Saviour at the journey’s start.

Yet drifting somewhat like a piece of aimless art,

Thru the gusty uphill paths, I soon found myself stuck!

Then came the studies, I sought out the world’s demand -

Oh, clocks to chase and looming deadlines stand,

Yet thru the corporate buzz n sweat, His courage lends,

My God in ECG, nudging me to the Promised Land …

The world says, “eat, drink n be merry - never miss the thrill!”

With F.O.M.O. and F.I.R.E., chasing that folly will,

But when life spun fast and plans soon fell ill,

I found God’s still waiting there - yes, I swiftly yield!

I had met Him near in the darkest fight,

My Shield, my Light in His eternal might!

Resilience shaping all, thru the pain and nights,

With fears, tears in prayers, striving to be right!

He’s my Hiding Place when storms draw near,

In whispered fears, I know He’ll always hear.

He shall surround me with songs of deliverance still,

Sealing my trust, with renewed hope in His Sovereign will!

I remember His good hand, yay - - my Saviour’s near,

Faith n blessings did unfold before, despite the fears.

Life’s continued journey with its lessons learnt,

Grateful at every purpose and battle burned!

For now, what is my treasured fortune?

It has always been my Saviour’s love,

In search of an ever-maturing faith,

…  and to grow up into His love!
