Journey

Let go of pain; let go of fear,
of paths once steep and rough,
Cling not to hurtful memories.
Let My love be enough.

Your life’s a tapestry I weave
if My designs you will receive.
Your whole life’s journey I have led.
The joys and struggles are My thread.

The shuttle you do not control.
The warp and woof are mine to hold.
The process and the progress slow,
requires trust … will you let go?
