Back to square one
I’ve been walking that road for years now, hand in hand with You.
Every
other moment, you place something good within my reach. And yet I say,
it’s too big for me to carry. Or, it’s too grand, it’s too expensive,
it’s too over the top, it’s too difficult to handle, it’s way above my
league, it’s too good to be true…
It’s like saying, "Lord, I
pray hard for a small house, with a small yard, and small picket
fences. And you’re giving me a castle? With a garden of roses? And
gold-plated iron gates? Are you kidding me?"
It’s like holding a
pre-inked stamp in my hand, with big caps "IMPOSSIBLE". And everytime
you hand me an ownership agreement, I label that piece of paper with
"IMPOSSIBLE" instead of signing my name above the line.
It’s
like looking away to others’ Christmas presents and saying, "Dad, why
don’t you give me the one that is exactly like what you’ve given them?
It’s less expensive."
Yes, I do all those. Many times I bargain
with you, but not for my own good. I offer you solutions that I think
would save me a lot of hassles, even with a lot less gain.
Fortunately, you never give up choosing the best for me in every little aspect of my life.
And I am grateful for that.
Even
though many times I have to go back to square one… it doesn’t matter.
As long as I’m on the right track, Your track, I know that something
beautiful will come my way. It will always do.
