The melted 'somehow's.'- [Poem]

Thought you'd might enjoy reading a poem by my 13 year old self. 5 years ago, when I was beginning my journey with Jesus. Don't be too harsh, I was 13! 


"Feeling lost? 
Like you're in a crowd and going the same way; monotonous. 
But, if you somehow even dared to turn around, and face the faces of unrecognition; if
somehow, you wove 
in the other direction.


You stand the chance of being bumped around a bit,
facing
them.
The pain and hurt causing words, can easily slip out of their lips, 
inflicted upon you
only because of your direction. Your difference.


Surely it would be worth it?
Worth it
if only one person turned and followed your lead?
Yes.
That is one more
saved.
Living a life where you are walking and weaving your way with God is more fulfilling;
Him fully with you, guiding you.


You can do it.
You can be different.
Different is 
good. 
Different is 
great.


Different is what God has created us to be: unique."


Obviously it's about standing for Jesus in the face of adversity. But as I read back over it now, (whilst cringing massively!) what strikes me is the 'somehow's.' How now I know that they do melt away in God's presence. The questions, fears, and worries of the somehow's, are nothing in comparison to God's promises and His faithfulness.


"Somehow I'll change this.
Somehow this will work out."


Are examples of how we can get caught up in how things are going to happen, and worrying that they wont. Well, we can stand today knowing that these somehow's are nothing compared to God's plan. He is all knowing. He can and will work things out. We just have to take His hand. He gives us strength.


Hope you liked the poem, hehe! Be encouraged by Matthew 5: 1-12!
