Let Him Take The Wheel

by joshua10

There is a long road that we all ride called life, and we're at the driver's seat, but sometimes we gotta let someone who knows the road a lot better than us drive at times. A poem I did a while back. Inspired by a picture I saw. Hope you enjoy.

Let HIM Take the Wheel

We drive this race called life

Thinking, we know the directions.

We drive, thinking we can do it

By ourselves. Our human actions,

Cause us to be stingy and hog the

Wheel. We forget one thing,

The one who started this whole Race, is the one sitting next to us.

We know he is there, yet we Ignore him. He is saying,

"I'm here to take control, all you Have to do is ask me. I will gladly, And immediately take over."

Yet, we ignore him, thinking we are the

Best drivers in the game. We Forget, he created the game, And

Knows how to race it well. There, He sits in the passenger seat, Waiting for you to say, "Here, I Cannot do this by myself, take the Wheel, and control the situation, On and off the road. Guide me Through the sharp turns, and help Me out of any crash I get caught In." But still, we ignore him, and He sits there, waiting. When we Take a wrong turn, he asks, "Do You want my help?" We say, "I Got this." And try to remember, Which turn you took that brought You down this road, and try to Figure it out on our own. We take Another turn, leading into another Road, more confusing than the Last. There he sits saying;

"I know the way out of this road. Let me guide you."

Yet, we say "No, I got this." There, He stays, sitting, waiting patiently.

We try another road, this time,the Road is even more confusing than The last two, you don't even know How you got here. There he sits, Saying, "I know this road like the Back of my hand. Let me guide You." It is when we arrive at the Most confusing road in life that we Ask, "Jesus help, I've trapped Myself, and I can't get out. Take The wheel, I will let you drive."

Then, he smiles, and IMMEDIATELY begins to drive. You notice he takes each turn Smoothly, and the straight path Isn't as bumpy as before. You feel Relaxed, layed back. He looks at You, smiling. You say to him;

"Thank you," he replies, "Thank You for letting me drive." And as You realize, that the road will not Always be perfect, you realize that Finish line is close at hand. And When you see that bright light, You realize, you made it. You hug Your companion, thanking him for Taking the wheel. He smiles, and Congratulates you that you Finished. He is willing to drive for ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY, Who want him too. So, let Jesus Take over, he knows the real Game of life in, out, left, right, up, And down. You will NOT regret Your decision.
