no substitutes

after one has opened the door there is much to know and terrain to explore and i didn’t move to a distant shore, i turned my life over to You

to You who created everything known and unknown, who sends messengers to direct me and lead to a life that keeps unfolding even as i speak

taking me to places i thought i had seen only to have my vision renewed and to a new world that i thought i knew

everything is the same but so much different, i have heard those words before, but now i understand what they mean

there is no substitute for a life without you and people who say that’s old thinking fail to realize that You have no beginning and no end…………………………You are without time

either one has you or not…………….and it is obvious to see the difference

and all one has to do is ask
