Focus Fixed

Focus Fixed > A free write poem on some deep reflective  thoughts

Upward, Onward 
My gaze locked Heavenward
My focus is 
where my hope is 

My God has been my hope 
through fire and flood 
Amidst aching and breaking 
there's been glimpses of His love 

Life ebbs, life overflows 
Life's current continues 
What was before is absorbed
and carried on into something new 

I keep my focus fixed
as I ponder lessons learned
I choose gratitude 
for by God’s grace I endure

For with God I am strong 
I am bold and courageous 
And by God I am held 
and cherished as His

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 NLT
