A New Direction

From an earlier season · raw & unedited
I prayed allow me to remember, that for a purpose I was made, I have sought my own for far to long, in worldly fun and days of sun, a pleasure for lifes games. I lived life thinking I'd found it, In a person, in a place. I believed that all that was to know, was in a smile on my face. I sought fun in food and good times with friends, and to these things I saw no end. A night of laughing and of lights. To be the best jokester would delight. To movies we went, to fill our brains, false fulfillment found, still disire remains. I lifted weights and muscles toned, I studied hard and good grades I owned. New clothes, new cars, new phones, Guitars. I gave my all to who I was, to be the best just because. I sought to expand all that I thought I am, I grew and changed and I became. Called fun, called nice, called real in life. I was wise in my own heart, Most I knew would call me smart. I had attained I did succeed. All I had was meant for me. I deserved cause I worked hard. If only I'd known that I was scarred. I dated beautiful women, inside and out, It was for my pride I walked about. Though on the outside I seem devout, it was for my pride I walked about. I lived for desire and fulfilment that came. If I got want I wanted Id have pleasure. If not then pain. My eyes were closed, yet I was never exposed. I claimed to see, I claimed to be. Don't take me wrong, in life theres fun. No wrong in friendship, its real and right, but remember that fulfillment is a matter of his light. Seek first the kingdom, and all thats true. And all these things will be added unto you. How could one ever have compassion, in a world that is their own. How could one ever see the need, when they live in pride all alone. It took some movement in my life, not by me, but God on high. To open my eyes to what mattered most. To fill my heart with the Holy Ghost. Now I see that love is all, that I'm complete, that yes I'll fall. But that through trial we live, then perseverence he gives, and hope will rise again. Now I see what matters most, is in the Glory of God, in him I boast. To many things to know I need forgiveness for, So I pray in time he will open the door, To relationships healed and hearts renewed, Pay attention, he speaks the truth. For the sake of love, I write to you. Listen closely, I write to you. Lets get together, lets make this right. Direction changed, were new inside. I don't know the future, but I know its life. I am so thankful, that I am sustained. I am so thankful, that I am joyous. I am so thankful, that prosperity has arrived. I am so thankful, that I have been made whole. I am so thankful, that I may be less. I am so thankful, that he will be more.
