The Journey Beyond Stumbles #1995

The Journey Beyond Stumbles In the dance of life, we sometimes fall, Yet a stumble in the road is not the end at all. The need to escape reality, a choice we make, But do not be a prisoner for past mistakes' sake. To break out of the prison, we must see, That locked within, we hold the key. Reaching out for help, a brave and noble deed, Temptation tests our bonds, our heart’s true creed. "Ask," He said, "and it will be given to you, Seek, and the truth will shine through. Knock, and the door will open wide, For everyone who asks shall not be denied. He who seeks will surely find, To the persistent knocker, doors are kind." In this journey, faith becomes our light, Transforming stumbles into strength and might. So let no fall define your way, For the journey is more than the steps we stray. In reaching out, in asking, in seeking what’s true, We find the path that God opens anew. -Steven G. Lee (June 28, 2024)
