Five Minute Friday- “Settle”

What will I miss,

If I find

my comfort living here?

In a lonely place of easy,

situated without fear.

And what if God’s

greater plan

ahead in mystery,

Is more than I imagined

His will could ever be.

Yet, here I am,

Sit and wait.

The step ahead so far.

For fear of depth,

I settle here,

Convinced, here,

is where you are.

What good are dreams

When left unseen,

And goals not pursued.

Why pray for bigger things

And never see them through.

You love me here

In this place,

It’s not that you don’t.

But you desire more for me

beyond what I desire most.

So, do I settle

or take the leap.

Stagnant or do I go?

Trusting faith,

blind, He leads,

Into life I call unknown.

And when time ends,

I’ll settle in,

With gratitude and care.

Satisfied, I’ll close my eyes,

Pleased, God led me there.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
