Future expectations

Journey’s path filled with light

Another page to open

Tomorrow looking bright

Peace dwells in Father’s heart

Journey’s joy hears His Word

Hope’s breath gathers strength from Him

Faith prospers from what’s spurred

Family, friends, career

Journey’s love means much more

Kneeling at cross in prayer

Savior cancels sin’s score

Challenges shall arise

Journey’s road appears blocked

Trust in Jesus sends faith’s key

Salvation now unlocked

Darkness breathing no more

Journey’s destiny bright

Christ delivers victory

Future filled with His light

Uncertain darkness

Surrounds me this day

Humbly take a knee

Bowing now to pray

Prayers calling God

Remain unhurried

Unanswered questions

Never be worried

Christ’s teachings feed thee

With the bread of life

This eternal gift

Blessings without strife

Lord of life and love

He feeds and frees all

Through His Holy Word

Never builds a wall

Allow me to pause

God prods thee along

Hearing His questions

Answers make me strong

God everlasting

Faith remains with thee

Through life’s harsh chaos

Calming stormy seas

From Romans 10:10-13: “For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in Him will be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on Him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'”

For outlandish creatures like us, on our way to a heart, a brain, and courage, Bethlehem is not the end of our journey but only the beginning–not home but the place through which we must pass if ever we are to reach home at last.

From Luke 2:13-14: “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!'”

Frederick Buechner (1926-2022) was an American pastor, Christian theologian, and author. His writings were published in 39 books, which included several different genres.
