I started my Christian run very encouraged,
For all kinds of work, I was ready.
Nobody could disturb or discourage me.
I was wherever there was a need.
I felt a strong desire to help in all things,
In all God’s works, I wanted to be supporting.
To do this gave me purpose and satisfaction,
I did it all with a colossal disposition.
I went to church on all occasions,
I prayed to God in all the situations.
I praised the Lord during my whole time,
I gave thanks for His blessings upon my life.
I continued my journey, and my spirit got discouraged,
I no longer worked with the same love.
Everything turned into an obligation,
I no longer acted with zeal or passion.
The flame in my heart extinguished,
I did not even talk to the Lord.
My heart did not wish His presence,
I was Christian only in appearance.
I did not know precisely what had happened,
However, I knew that something had been altered.
I was not satisfied with my living way,
And what if I did not do anything, I would pass away.
I claimed to the Lord desperately,
An enlightened mind, I begged Him.
God kindly tranquilized me,
And the right way, He pointed at me.
I must pray and remember the blessings,
I must remember His commandments and teachings.
I must follow His word of life in all my days,
Acknowledging the excellence in His ways.
I shall remember the promises of the Lord,
I must remember His tremendous love and favor.
So, I will always be encouraged and full of energy,
The flame of my life is lit by the Holy Spirit.
A flame that will shine brightly,
A light that will live eternally.
With God, my bright will never be extinguished,
The Lord's light will always blaze on me.
