Poem: Stirring

This stirring I feel
I know what it means
It means You will call
Me away from here
This state I have known
In which I feel safe

For comfort in life
Too easily can
Become my real god
And worshipping it,
I stop listening
To Your voice speaking

Yet You don't let me
Worship the idol
You reach out and shake
My life and pull off
The familiar
And the things I've known

I try to shrink, hiding,
Forgetting Your love,
Your great love for me
I cling to my pet,
My precious poison,
Afraid of Your best

But I know Your best
Is in completeness
Not security
Of circumstances
And this I remind
My faltering mind

For love I You more
Than safety and ease
So Your will will I
Follow completely
With joy, excitement,
Fear, wonder, and praise

What's up with all these anonymous people on the past few posts? COME OUT INTO THE OPEN AND POST LIKE MEN!!!

If you're going to lodge a complaint with one of the coolest teachers around you should at least have the guts to say who you are!

And if you're going to lodge...um...something else, that's not a complaint, you should still say who you are.

Oh. Hello jesus.
