I was inspired to share this because I know we all could use this reminder. I hope it speaks to you.
The ache was heavy.
My spirit twisted.
Heart weary.
Eyes misted.
Storm raged on.
Raindrops pelted.
Clouds were darkned
Hailstones melted.
Not before they
left their sting.
Black and bruised
and broken-winged.
I thought for sure
this all would end
but clock ticks continue
and only bend.
Time moves on
unlike my plan.
Busted and useless
I cannot stand.
Yet in the dark
a light shimmers.
Withstands the rain
darkness grows dimmer.
A man, His hand
holds out to me.
He takes the stones
and sets me free.
“You’re not alone.
I’m always near.
I hear your voice
and catch your tear.”
While the wind whistles
and the storm rages on
my beloved Savior says
“You can make it till dawn.”
“You can make to the morning.
You can make it to the night.
With Me, My child,
You’re gonna be all right.”
He held me through the morning.
He held me through the night.
The storm was raging,
but my Savior held me tight.
When the clouds roll in
and the thunder roars.
I’ll hold onto Him
and on His wings soar.

How does God remind you He is near?

I love this! I’ve been going through same family issues that have really slipped me up. This was needed. I’ve learned that as long as you hold on tight you can make it through any trial. This post made me realize what I’ve been holding onto — God.

So profoundly beautiful, TR!! I love this!!
About your question…I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed by work and all my commitments. So, when I prayed yesterday, I especially talked to Abba about two items on my “to do” list. Although they were small stuff in the grand scheme, God blessed those two tasks and miraculously enabled me to accomplish them in the brief time that I had… and that grace from God so encouraged me!! Yes, He cares and will continue to carry me. And your poem expresses my experience of His lovingkindness so perfectly, TR!! Thank you!! xo 💜💜
