Saturday Devotional...What Should I Fear?

What Should I Fear?

In my heart I want to be someone
who follows flawlessly
the beliefs that I rely on…still

I find to my dismay I am someone
who agonizingly falls short
of my cherished motivators…and

Painfully I am not that someone
who is always strong and absolute
following my spiritual principles…yet

Even though I want to be someone
who relies on my Creator to keep me
safe from real or imagined phobias…nevertheless

I find myself to be someone
who falls in to nursing her terrors
letting them spin her around wildly…thus

Feeding the monster of fright I become someone
who is out of control of her own beliefs
drifting on wild waves of her own terror…therefore

I wonder if I have become the sort of someone
who says she believes but does not act
in a way that shows her faith…despite

My best intentions to act like someone
who knows what is correct and true
I often miss so many of my goals…until

I happily remember that I am someone
who has been blessed by faith
that gives me my treasured knowledge…that

My fears are not being held by someone
who is abandoned in this earthly setting
Where I spend my years…then

I remember that I am someone

who really has nothing to fear
because my Creator is the strength of my life.
May He be the strength of your life, too!
