Spiritual awakening: Agonizing slivers

Agonizing slivers pierce my hands,
Yet, I obey, as God commands.
No pain,
You cannot interfere;
Slivers of light,
Endearment, near.
Love whispers in the light,
"Be wary.
Heed no fear or fright.
Beyond all pain,
There is new light."
Thus humbled,
Here, I yet shall stand;
As promised,
Hail the promised land.
Render the sliver;
Awkward, its way,
The entrance into another day. 

Slivers of light awakening the spirit.
