Starting a few years back (in my teens to be precise) God started to meet a need in my life that I didn’t hitherto think was an issue. He took me out of myself. It’s still a hard fought battle many days, but a need met indeed. He reminds me daily that “your need I will answer”.
Go: Your Need I will answer
16 years old
In Haiti I was
Serving with Missions Impossible.
God spoke quietly
“Child of mine, listen.
This thing you do.
It needs to stop.”
I shrugged and tried to
Block that notion out.
My life was fine.
Living inside my head.
Incorporating all that happened
In real time to the story within.
It mattered not to me that
Others thought me odd.
I always knew I was different
than all else around.
Yet God continued
This thing must end
No more living inside your head.
He gave me music.
Showed me verse.
Friends to laugh with.
My heart slowly began to listen.
Now I know in times of stress
To welcome a song
Calling me to rise
Getting my day off to
a healthy start.
I’d like say
it’s all smooth sailing
That music and verse
Keep me out of my head.
But I’ve been known to fight
Determined to stay.
To make my world safe
In my head I’ll delay.
But over and over
God says to me
“Mind me child,
This need I will meet.
Remember this verse
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, God’s special possession,
that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light”.
Remember and heed your calling.
Your need I will answer.
Stop
