What lies ahead may be the most difficult road of my journey, yet also has the potential to be the most rewarding. As Ralph Waldo Emmerson said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."
Only God holds the key to the unknown. Though we can see glimmers and shadows of what lies ahead, the absolute is unknown. Only through hope and faith can we step forward into the unknown and have any reasonable certainty of the outcome and know that all will have gone as it should have.
Living Faith
Oft times the path is unclear
We may not know what's drawing near
But knowing all things work together
For the good and for the better
Brings a comfort deep inside
And negates tendencies to hide
So on faith we step again
Hoping that once more we can
Find the thing we need to find
Not letting our old fears blind
So that we may now receive
That in which our hearts believe
Knowing that love will outweigh
Sadness we've known in our day
And that challenges there sent
Love will help to circumvent
Hope will help to win the day
As silently within we pray
