His Name's Sake

He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake. ~ Psalm 23:3 (NIV)

I'm God's child, and like a family
what I do reflects on my raising,
on my relations, on my experience.
If I walk the right path, seek his will,
surrender and walk in his steps
then like a family, the truth reflects
in those least learned, those most simple,
on those who follow far better
than they lead. I promise to walk the right paths
so far as I can discern them by asking,
by listening, by following. And when I do
it makes the God I follow look good
to those who never see my God
without first looking at me.
