My Journey to God

The Gift

You are the compass of my life,
pointing always
to what is good and holy
and truly everlasting.

North to south,
east to west,
each day when I am lost.

Oh God,
the journey is less fearsome
when markings lead the way,
blessing me, changing me
into the best that I can be.
