Two sides to the coin

I notice that most things in life
Have two sides to the coin
That produce a tension within
but its helpful to know the join

Like, If God's done it all for me
I still must seek His face
Even though "it is finished"
I still must live by faith

And, I still want to be loved
and have people committed to me
yet, I know that I am His
His love and grace I see

There seems to be a tension
between working at being my best
and knowing that true life comes
while working to enter my rest.
