Again

I've come to a crossroad again.
As I stand and survey the paths diverging in front of me,
my heart is filled with uncertainty and fear over the decision I face.
"Are you telling me its time for a change?"
I ernestly ask God, hoping for a decisive answer.
The answer did not come, but the argument continued.
"but God," I would say,
"my heart and soul are poured into this path,
the pain would be too much to bear."

In a gentle breeze, a whisper responds to my doubts,
saying, "I was here before you came, and I will be here when you are not.
Your loved ones are in my hands now and forever and I will care for them for eternity.
So do not fear for them, for I have a plan for them just like I do for you
So stop doubting that plan; just trust and follow after me.
Don't look back but look ahead to the great pilgrimage awaiting you."

Grasping at the Great Mystery calling out my name,
tears of sorrow and joy fall freely as peace wells up in my heart,
In the midst of emotions the true light shines,
pointing the way to the Father, who created me.
I begin to walk passing the blood stained cross of the Son,
and in being strengthened through the presence of the Spirit,
I run with abandon to the Heart of love
