Church, actually, two of them.
The familiar words were balm to my
Soul.
But one verse really hit home.
"Prone to wander, Lord I feel it.
Prone to leave the God I love." *
Why?
I posed the question to Danny.
"Why am I prone to wander?"
"It's because the world is so
Appealing," he said, "and following
Jesus is so hard."
Yes!
Resisting temptation is tedious and
Never ending.
But we know from experience that
The world's promises are empty and
Its pleasures are short lived.
It's why we confess our sin when
We stray and get back on track.
Despite the toil, in this mixed up
World, following Jesus makes the
Most sense.
