A Poem I wrote

Right now in this moment I was expecting to be playing call of duty

yet instead You've called me to something different

My head spins with questions

while my heart breaks with answers

because truth be told I didn't take You seriously

when You said there would be persecution

I thought You meant for them not for me

but that wasn't the case and as my eyes open up

I'm starting to see that persecution comes to all of us

for You said the world would hate Your servants as they hated You

and in this past year I'm starting to realize that this is true

I'm faced with a decision 

conform or stay holy

I cry out to You Lord for Your spirit to console me

to be the one who endures for I know that You are for me

Yes I know that 

and I know that You are faithful and Your live it never ends

I know that You're the light in a world that's ever dim

Yes Lord I know that You have a reward for the one who perseveres 

and I know You are the great reward for the one who draws near

Let me abide in You as You abide in me

Though the valley is upon us 

and the waters they seem deep

in Your courts I will not see defeat

I wont conform I wont backdown I will rise up 

I was expecting to be playing call of duty, but instead I've been called to duty
