My Journey to God

Faith

I turned from Him,

But He didn’t from me.

My inner light was dim,

And I couldn’t see.

What I did was wrong;

I was ashamed.

My self-exile was long,

My faith lamed.

Then I came back;

I was home.

His love never in lack,

I wasn’t alone.

Forgiveness I found,

Understanding I receive.

His love knows no bounds.

Faith restored, I believe.
