Counsel

If you ask a wise man,
his counsel you obey
or do not reap the blessings
but choose another way.

Our Lord invites us to counsel.
He has come to show the way
that leads to life eternal
and blesses us each day.

He is a wonderful counselor.
He knows the Father's will.
He knows our needs
and hopes and fears
and offers comfort still.

He wants us to come to Him.
He answers our request.
His wisdom is unfailing.
He wants us to be blessed.

Sometimes we have the answer
decided before we ask.
He can confirm our choices
or redefine our task.

If He tells us wait a while,
or stop and change our worldly style,
we need to heed His guidance
which can transform and bless.
He wants our growth to take us home
and seeks our happiness.
