My Future

park pathway
The Lord has future plans for me that are good.
I trust in Him, for I know He will act.
He has plans that are exact.

He will give me an abundant life.
I do not have to worry,
or be in a hurry.

He will provide for me,
As He provides for the birds of the air.
I can depend on His care.

Therefore, I will delight myself in Him,
and trust in Him, for He does guarantee
the desires of my heart He’ll give to me.

As I trust Him and acknowledge Him,
He will direct my paths and make them straight,
And they’ll lead me right to Heaven’s gate.

My eye, nor ear, nor heart, cannot even imagine
what He has prepared for me,
Here on earth and in the Heavenly.

I have faith that He will reward me as I seek Him,
and love Him with all my heart, mind and soul.
That is my future, that is my goal.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:6)

Yesterday’s Path

Yesterday's Path
I chose to walk with Yesterday

Leaving my present glade of time

I gazed at memories

I stood upon regrets

Mired in the past

That I couldn’t change

Misery

Became

Real


Real

Became

Misery

That I couldn’t change

Mired in the past

I stood upon regrets

I gazed at memories

Leaving my present glade of time

I chose to walk with Yesterday

The primrose path refers to a life of ease and pleasure, or to a course of action that seems easy and appropriate
but can actually end in calamity.–(from Wikipedia)
