There I was Far, Far, from Home

There I was Far, Far, from Home – No one to hear my cry or even listen. Cast
out like an abominable branch. I was no longer amongst the servants or the cattle of my father’s ranch. Although I was of him no one knew it. Like a conception held in secret behind a curtain, but my birth nevertheless was certain.

It wasn’t him that had cast me out, it was his Greatest Soldier, A Man of War, who showed up at the door. I knocked so loudly; I opened the door so proudly! He said unto me you are to be a voice unto this generation. My heart filled with such joy and expectation! To finally fulfill my station my earnest expectation.

He told me to gather my things I thought to the chief seats He would take me, the place that they would regard me the place that would make me. He said is this what you want to fulfill your great commission I said it is but something seemed to be missing.

A declarer of truth to the enemy, violent. A declarer of war with only victory to follow. A portrait of a picture within the hallowed hall with my face on it.

The esteem the respect not lacking anything, all that was mine I would protect. Even helping all who neglected my words and deeds so effectively although I knew not what those words would be. I said to him when we were on the way to my training.

Wait aren’t we going the wrong way? I don’t remember hearing about this place or that this is part of the journey.

He didn’t say a word, but I could tell in His disposition He was a Man on a mission. I told Him whatever I needed to do, wherever I needed to go. I thought I would be in training for such a season, I thought I knew the reason.

On the way to the place of training I realized it wasn’t at all what I’d pictured. I thought it would be camaraderie and brotherhood filled with the training of mastery the things I called good. But as he led me unto the distance, I couldn’t deny my resistance. I didn’t want to go but I wanted to become a soldier but it wasn’t what I bargained.
