Guiding our Going

"He that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel" (Mark 5:18-20).

The man who was once by demons possessed
Prayed to depart with Christ where He went.
But Jesus then firmly denied his request,
And back to his home and his friends he was sent.

Go home to your friends, said Christ in this fashion,
And tell them the things that the Lord did for you.
Tell them how great is His might and compassion,
That they may behold and believe it is true.

Our God is the One who guides where we go.
Be ready to listen and follow His plan,
And don't be surprised if He should say "No."
You answer to Jesus your Lord, and not man.
