Take the Stand

Mihaela Echols28 Comments

Fifteen year old boy hears about life coming from dust,
and how God is the only one he can honestly trust.

So young boy takes a stand
and gives his life to God’s hand.

Day by day his battle goes on,
fighting with his flesh because he old him is gone.

His peers question his new ways,
disagreeing they don’t choose to stay.

Still, young boy takes a stand
and leaves his life in God’s hand.

Young boy grows and so do his dreams,
but brokenness makes his heart scream.

Let down too many times,
the world was winning with its crimes.

Still he holds onto the news he heard as a boy
even when we are sad we can still have joy.

So young man takes a stand
and leaves his future in God’s hand.

Poisoning his heart,
she was bad news from the start.

His feelings turned into lust.
Desiring God was becoming rust.

Deep in his heart God still shinned
whispering child you are mine.

Young man had to take the stand
and leave his desires in God’s hand.

Hitting his rock bottom he shakes his head.
The fifteen year boy inside him is not dead.

Once again leaving his own desires
leaving her and his life to who is higher.

Young man took a stand
and left his life in God’s hand.

  10. The path of faith. We sometimes trip over the rocks of doubt, trials and temptations but God is always there helping us to remember the truth of who He is. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem.

  19. If we all could grab hold of what we learned as children, our life roads could be different. Joy even in sadness. Even when our hearts are screaming in pain, joy can be felt.

  20. This is so beautiful! And descriptive of what we all go through on our journey with Christ. We all have different struggles but we are all flesh and have to daily lay that down. Sometimes more successfully than others.
