The Pursuit

Seeking to fill my heart
Began an innocent start

Longing for needs to be filled
Only temporarily thrilled

Chasing after my ideal
Avoiding facing the real

Falling into the snare
Quickly led to despair

Crying "God, are you there?"
Was my desperate prayer

Amazing love rescused me
Paid the price to set me free

Gazing at Calvery's cross
Where Jesus bore my sin and loss

Pursuing me as His own
My Father's love is shown

Capturing my devotion
Healing my emotion

Liberating truth is mine
Freeing me to shine

Declaring to everyone
"Come to the Son!"

Preparing as an eager bride
To forever reign at His side


Another poem. It is from "In Pursuit of the Ideal." What do you think of it?

It's pretty.

I like it - everyone is looking for perfection, for the "ideal" that will satisfy the longing in their soul. Only Jesus satisfies!
