Mountain High.

Coming down from Mountain High

Temptations on every side

But I feel as though nothing alive can stop my stride...

Doused with a new frame of mind...

Moving freely.

Chains have been left behind.

Temptations try to follow me,

But my eyes are fixed on the prize!

No more will I fall by the wayside......

And as I drift down off my high

My laziness becomes magnified.

And I actually have to put effort into staying saved this time.

And you see, effort is not really my thing...

(Even though it's obviously the key

To failure or living successfully.)

Sigh...that gotta be the catch!

Because like the back of my hand, I know what happens next.

I battle...I lose...I fall.

Even though I know the scriptures...

Even know I memorized them all.

And it's not that I gave up.

It's that I rather cope, then fight.

I rather settle & to my surprise

My flesh never died.

But before I turn back, let me truthfully speak

Honestly, I appreciate everything you've done for me...

And humbly, I willingly pass up all the opportunities you've offered me

Because if the truth be told, I'm more comfortable pleasing me.

Then God spoke to me:

"You know how to be bound...

But you don't know how to be free.

You're searching for a comfort zone...

You don't know how to trust me.

You're contemplating a change of heart...

You don't know how to love me.

You don't know how to please me,

But you know how to hurt me."

Ouch. Hit home.

And I realize that I have to leave this cycle alone.

Effort, Pain & Humility is the key...

The key to living for you.

Same key you used to die for me.

So, I'll fight...

I'll fight for my life.

It's my choice.

And now that I'm free,

It's my right.
