Experienced

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.   Philippians 4:12-13

the overwhelming hunger fades, the cruel,

dark night disappears, rolling like  soft, ocean waves,

into far off, distant shores, gone forever;

all your life, searching, wandering, waiting,

a prisoner of fear, a slave to desires, without fulfillment,

without satisfaction, without destination,

released by the Master, pardoned by the King;

set free by the truth;

nothing more to prove, nothing more to obtain,

the evening train awaits, the light shines bright ahead,

the dawn breaks clear, the battle already won,

the path leads to home;

I am ready.
