I Am Poem by Jeffrey Mitchell

I Am



I AM
Looking at a maze that was set before me, made up of many confusing situations, unbelief, anger, frustrations, jealousy, hopelessness, fear, and nets, pits, and stumbling blocks. Also a beginning and an end, but between them are many emotions and feelings on the path. For some who enter in, it may take a life time to find their way, others may give up, because of distractions, or many failed attempts to reach the end, then some seem to make themselves content where they are, caught in-between the beginning and end, unaware of the danger by staying.
The paths are interlocking with your past and future, trying to confuse you, from attaining eternal life. If the maze was straight or just a 360 degree circle, it would be too easy, but instead there are many narrow hall ways leading to many distractions, with locked doors without keys or key holes how many times will you keep knocking, where you can't get in?
What drives you to pursue this course? That is laid before you, and why are you so persistent in finding your way? Is that which is at the end worth it? How do you even know that it is there? You know some searched a life time, and never found their way out.
Because I won't stay locked in a maze knowing that there is a beginning and an end, faith will see me through my emotions and feelings, and those distractions, and locked doors without key holes, faith will get me through them too, those who doubt that there is a beginning and an end, faith will show me. Those who went before me, in the beginning, but seen not the end. Faith will carry me over them.
I came to a maze that was set before me; I entered in faith, knowing the Beginning and the End. It was that which was in-between, the things I could not have seen, because of the distance from I AM. Although in the corridors, His voice guided me through the labyrinth to the light.
Now that I am on the other side I want to go back, knowing what I've been through trying to find my way to the light; and now that I have the light, it's too bright to keep in side of me, when so many others, are on the other side of the maze still waiting. Maybe I could be a beacon of light unto them.
Exodus 3: 14
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
