What Love Has Asked Me to Do

I'm getting back to my purpose, I'm getting back on track. 

I'm recognizing distractions for what they are; 

nothing but my fear of the good,  

the beautiful and the loving that I came here to do. 

Time to come clean, reach deep and look at what I fear. 

It's time to see through the addiction and compulsions  

and return to my first-love, as bringer of love into this loveless place. 

Love, help me get back to Work;  

the Work I came here to do- 

the work of communicating with those who can hear the truth of love,  

as it naturally comes through me. 

All I use to distract me from what Love's asked me to do, 

has only a vain and passing value,  

But despite its measly worth, 

I do pay a very heavy price for that passing pleasure, 

in the health and happiness that must be sacrificed to it.  

Teacher of Peace in me,  

I give to you all my distractions and addiction to passing pleasures,  

that rob me of my only lasting joy- 

The joy of bringing the peace of God into this aching world.
