Sometimes as a Christian, I’m in such a hurry to change the ones I love that I can cause more harm than good. Especially when it comes to those who are struggling in life. I need to learn to pray for them and let God do the work or I risk pushing them away. Let people be people and let God be God but always remain mindful of the opportunity to witness to someone in God’s timing, not mine.
Blinded by the Light- A Poem by David Ritter
I wandered in a dark cruel world, broken and all alone
Searching for a friendly light, a place to call my own
And in my fruitless quest, I settled for things of greed
But I can’t reap a harvest, when I haven’t sown a seed
My hunger for some love, was way too much to bear
Then God came down and filled me, and told me I should share
So now I spread the light, with every chance I can
But sometimes with my shine, I blind my fellow man
I have the best intentions, but that doesn’t make ‘em right
When in my zest to change the world, leaves it blinded by the light
So please forgive me Lord, for I know not what to do
Please touch the ones I’ve blinded, and guide them back to you
