seeking you - Likeleli

the road to seeking God's truth is not easy, and it is a one-man road

On my journey to God-discovery I learned about seeking God not because there's something in it, but because of a desire to build a relationship with Him...everything else is but a bonus

This poem is just really a small part of my journey, but it says a lot:

I sought my purpose
I sought my dream
I sought my vision
And You said to me
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness"

I misunderstood
And sought religion
A set of standards
A lifestyle
I sought to tithe for reward
I sought to pray for an answer
And You said to me
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness"

I sought to sing
I sought to write
I sought success
In the name of Christ
And You said
"All these things shall be added unto You"

So I sought afresh
And I sought Your face
I sought Your truth
I sought Your presence
And You gave me vision, purpose and dreams
Rewards, awards, songs, words and You said
"You sought my kingdom and you sought my righteousness
And all these things have been added unto you"
