A poem

So last night I was watching Lord of the Rings and a line in the movie wouldn't stop going through my head and I ended up writing a poem. This poem has nothing to do with purity, at least not to me, but I felt I needed to share it.



Don't go were I can't follow,
Please don't leave me here alone.
All I want is to hear you again
To feel your touch
And to see you for the first time.
I need you here to guide me through my darkness.
To help me through my confusion.

I need you
The reasons are clear as black is white.
Will you still accept my ruined soul?

Don't go were I can't follow.
I don't want to be lonely anymore.
My eyes are blind,
To what you have in store.
I know I try to walk away from you
Which hammers your limbs once again.
Unfortunately nothing will take away the pain I've caused.

Don't go were I can't follow.
Please don't leave me behind.
I'm here begging for your forgiveness
Even though I don't deserve it.


So after I wrote this I read it over to see if it has anything to do with purity and I figured out it does. The first thing I realized is that many people when reading this would automatically think I was talking about a guy. Which this poem is not about a guy, it is about God. From this I noticed that many people in this generation, mainly girls turn everything into something about a guy. But this is the opposite of what God wants us to do. God doesn't want us to be like this, he wants our number one priority to be him. To me learning this is a big key to staying pure, because we have to get our minds off the world's perspective of love and keep our minds on God's path.

Dee Koester

Tonight I went to the City Wide Prayer Meeting. As I was sitting there I saw Dee, a lady in our church. This past week her husband died, but we know that he is in Heaven, right now. I don't know exactly how long they were married, but I know it was longer than I have been alive and that they loved each other very much. So Here is a woman that found the man she planned to spend the rest of her life with ( something I pray for), but now she has to be without him. As I was sitting there thinking about this, I was watching her. She was stretching her hand out praying for people, but it was the look in her eyes that got my attention. In her eyes you could see the sincere concern and compassion she had for people. So while I'm sitting here feeling horrible for Dee, she is overwhelmed with love and joy for others. I was both inspired and taken back by Dee, because I saw just how selfless her love for Don and God are. She rejoices knowing that her husband is in a far better place, and though she might be feeling loss she still reaches out to others. I think too many times, we think of love in a marriage as something we need to have and receive to be complete. This is selfishly seeking love, but, proven by Don and Dee, the love that lasts is selfless. I want to leave you with this thought..........Is it possible to seek for what is selfless, selfishly, and find it??
