MY FIRST LOVE

IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!

I have travelled long and far;

the road has been difficult and wearisome.

I find myself looking back as the memory frees itself,

for the vessel it possessed in the beginning is now discarded.

I have tried to meditate and ponder,

what exactly got me travelling in the first place?

It seems along the long, narrow road

my purpose and drive has become hazy in the enveloping darkness!

Although I try to remember,

and my soul tries to acclaim what it lost,

now I know that I have substituted Grace for Works,

and my first Love for self-aggrandisement!

The Bible says, "work out your salvation,"

and not "work for your salvation."

I must now put an extra, conscious effort every moment of my life,

for Christ must be first, and Him alone!!!
