GROWING in KNOWLEDE and in FAITH

Late Night
out of sight
....of anyone around

Just you and me
Lord you and me
....no else around

.......................
.......................

and so now its time to talk
and to listen to you
to pour out my heart
for you to view

I have questions to ask
hurts to share
answers to chew on
praises to declare

My faith I know
cannot be stolen
but knowledge is
a challenge to take on

so now I desire wisdom
with knowledge too
deciphering its truth
to know more of you

I will not lie
this is hard to do
to challenge my faith
with questions of you

But if I give minimum
efforts that are effortless
how will I grow
I must give my best

Seeking after you
chasing you
waiting for you

as you

wait for me
pursue me
and hold me

So fear I have no more
knowing that my King
will protect my journey
on discovering new things

yielding with wisdom
covered in grace
bring on the knowledge
right now in this place

In this late night
out of sight
....with only you around.

in brokenness

you help me grow some more.

 "For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins."
(2 Peter 1:5-9 ESV)
