Poetry: Mind Behind The Bricks

A Poem from Pakistan

I’m building this wall that I am inside

Along beside me are all the feelings I have tried to hide

They beat me up daily of the love ones that I have lost…

MIND BEHIND THE BRICKS

I’m building this wall that I am inside

Along beside me are all the feelings I have tried to hide

They beat me up daily of the love ones that I have lost

And I try to remember daily that Jesus was a conqueror and paid the full cost

Trials and tribulations that I go through from day to day

They circle my mind like a lion trapping their prey

The wall is made out of strong bricks so no one can get in

Trying to prepare my mind and an exit sign for all my past sins

It will only go up because I don’t want it to fall down

Whipping like courageous winds in my mind around and around

Times I feel like I have lost some of my closest and best friends

God reminds me daily that he has done it over again and again

Pulled me out of the volcano that was flaming hot

To put me back in my place so I cannot lose my spot

That he has strategically prepared that he won’t let anyone let me lose

And I must keep spreading the gospel because it’s good news

Build me up and give me the strength that I need

Help me to fight this battle ….I will walk while you lead

I cannot go by what it looks like because I will lose my sight

Of what God is doing as I’m working for him day and night

Clear my mind and take over the thoughts that are not mine

Remember my child to be obedient and stay with the saints in line

You are precious and one of Gods favorite possessions

Remember that in life that it will teach you valuable lessons

The Lord has kept me and I thank him in the peace I will go

I just wanted to leave another reminder for you to know

That life is not always going to be peaches and butter cream

But to always lean on the Lord and to continue to fight watch and pray on his team.
