seek {a poem}

I will not be crushed
by the pain of this world
I will not succumb to the depths
of my own sorrow

instead I will seek God, who
holds my soul
holds my purpose
holds my joy

I will seek God
and find myself

  2. "I will seek God and find myself" ... love this idea that our identity is found when we turn away from actively seeking out own wants and desires and turn to Jesus instead ♡

    1. I think part of the inspiration for this poem (and especially those two lines) was something I read in Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation. I thought that was such a beautiful idea--I'm glad you like it!
