Only the beginning

Only the beginning

These are the words that ring so clear in my ear
Such a great work is taking place within my soul
There is only so much I can control
The Comforter is here to wipe my tears
Especially when I do not understand why they fall
Or why they consume my entire being

Only the beginning

These three words speak truth
A truth that has become a part of my daily review
Not much compares to the inner turmoil
This perfection storm that rages within
Screams filled with horrendous lies and outrageous allegations
This truth begins to calm the thunder and clear the sky

Only the beginning

Within these words, a promise lies
There is much more to this life
The darkness may seem ever present
Yet, the morning brings joy, light, new brilliance
More than I can imagine, more than my dreams can create
Waiting for me to find my way

Only the beginning

The past haunts the present
It threatens the future
but, this transformation, however small
Promises to end the past of its power
And starting today, or yesterday, or last week
Or five years ago, new life has begun

Only the beginning

The work of the Spirit never ceases to amaze me
Why would One care so deeply for me
How could I be so deserving of such patience,
Grace, love, blessing, guidance, and gentleness
It is here that I have begun my journey home
Afterall, it is only the beginning
