When I do not take care of my priorities first,
but do work that is not of God’s Will,
the mountain blocks me,
flowing water blocks me,
and people block me.
When I find the Will again and take action upon it,
the mountain follows me,
the flowing water follows me,
and all the people follow me.
God nudged my side, suggesting that I
go on an autumn outing,
but I did not take the hint.
Oh, God,
why are you leaving so early this year?
My heart was anxious,
so those long, long stories that I wanted to speak about with my Lord
only remained in my mouth.
That Word that He wanted to say,
I will quickly go and preach it.
Ah, when tomorrow comes, I will leave.
Actually, from a few days ago,
because I, too, missed my Lord,
I wanted to stop taking care of the garden that the Lord gave me,
and I wanted to meet my Lord,
as I traveled in the beautiful land of Korea.
That inspiration came to me strongly.
Ah, because I do not realize my Lord’s heart,
the villagers on another side of [my village]
yelled at me with anger like that of birds and beasts without knowing my heart.
Ah, my Lord,
I will quickly dust the dirt off my hands,
adorn myself
and hastily prepare, starting today,
so that I will be able to go on an autumn outing with the Lord.
