My Journey to God

In Him

We are each called
to gain victory
over the negative forces
within us
that continually
bring darkness
into our lives.

Our will
is what makes
this happen;
no person
or thing
can make
those forces
subside …

Only for a while
can they take
our mind
off of that
which lingers
in the shadows
of our distractions.

The Spirit of God
dwells with us now
and will lead us
through this quest.
When we search
our hearts,
we find Him there.

In Him,
we discover
the light
and then rest.
