The Comforter: Spirit of Truth
I've always believed - no, correction, known;
Though things could be better, they could also be much worse.
Problems encountered may pale in nature to others and I'm certainly not alone,
Surely compared to others I cannot even dream of calling mine a curse.
I'm grateful for the good days - for the bad, well, I'm not;
Though Scripture tells me I should be happy in all my trials.
I've tried to be grateful for what I've got,
And that this may not always be the case, I make no denials.
For a long time my journey has placed me on a path, it's travel I don't wish to be.
Perservance failing I search for another road, one it seems I'm unable to see.
Now realizing my foolishness I see the Word as the answer,
To my problems of yesterday and today.
I'll do my best relying on the inspired message of the Parakletos,
The sword of the Spirit, the Comforter, within us now and forever will be.
My trials and even at times denials will continue to occur,
Although I know the waters of Truth which can quell the dilemmas of my day.
Though my doubts may continue and this I can assure,
With the Parakletos within me, the Spirit of Truth,
My conviction of His presence, the power of His essence....
My faith will remain forever in my heart,
Though challenges and trials come what may.
