Give the story of your life back to the Author of life

Monday Message

Would you ever go up to someone who was sitting there writing and take their pen/pencil out of their hand? Of course not! 😊
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s poem is a refreshing reminder that His Spirit in us is always in charge of the story…as long as we don’t take the pen out of His hand…
 
What if this breaking of me
Is just the working of the Holy Spirit taking shape in me
My flesh utterly resisting
This new life He wishes to put into me
 
BUT…
 
What if it’s just the enemy
Finding a crevice & forcing its darkness into me
Taking over my mind making me feel nothing but defeat
All because I couldn’t see the snake lurking at my feet
 
I guess only time will tell
But for now we must determine
Which story to dispel
 
While the war rages on
It is simply our job
To eat the frog
 
            and will that frog be The Prince?
            Taking you along a not so classic hero's journey
            Climbing up mountains
            Trekking through the darkest valleys
            Being tossed by the sea
                        All for this search of pure happiness & peace
                        Granted only by the power of the Holy Spirit planting a seed
 
OR…
 
            Do I follow my flesh
            Ignore the pestilence
            Coiling around my feet
            Seeping its venom into every last ounce of me
            As I accept this feeling of unending defeat
 
So which will it be?
 
Either way it won’t be easy
But neither is believing
 
You just have to decide
Which is worth your eternal life?
