Devine Struggle: A Journey of Faith



In the quiet of the night, a young man stands alone,
His heart torn between worlds, seeking to atone.
At twenty-one, his journey begins to unfold,
From a path of doubt to one paved with gold.

Once distant from faith, his soul adrift in the dark,
Until a TV series sparked a divine spark.
Tears flowed freely as he witnessed the story,
Of Jesus Christ, in all His glory.

John 3:16 echoed in his mind,
A message of love, pure and kind.
For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son,
To grant eternal life to everyone.

Though he believes and strives to do right,
Lust shadows his steps, an ongoing fight.
Each day he prays, seeking grace from above,
Yearning to live in accordance with love.

With each sunrise, he rises to pray,
Thanking the Lord for guiding his way.
But the struggle persists, a constant test,
As he battles the temptations that infest.

Yet within him burns a fervent flame,
A dream igniting, calling out his name.
To be a shepherd, a beacon of light,
Guiding souls through the darkest night.

So he kneels once more, in humble prayer,
Offering his dreams, his burdens to bear.
For in his heart, a conviction grows strong,
To serve the Lord, his whole life long.

Though the journey ahead may be steep,
His faith unwavering, his resolve deep.
With God by his side, he'll walk the mile,
Embracing his calling with a steadfast smile.
