Cloudy Days Doesn'T Mean There Is No Sun

Lord you know all things There is not even one word on my tongue Or in my heart that you a haven’t heard Before I have even uttered them I am full of awe of you- Selah Even in my down times when I feel unwell You are here with me Your presence is everywhere Even if I aren’t sensitive to know this at the time But you give me little reminders That all life is precious to you Like when I receive a kiss from a friend Or a kind word from a stranger Yes- you are always vigilant to remind us of your care For I am more valuable than even a precious Sparrow Therefore; My heart shall rest in Hope and Your faithfulness - till my change shall come. © Brenda V Northeast 27th April 2012

Brenda, I have been quite depressed lately and I can feel an uplifting message throughout this poem. We don't need to see God to have faith and when he sends us "little reminders (flowers, kind words from people)" these are the moments we cherish most in life. You have a very clear way of expressing yourself and I will add this poem to my favorites. Thanks for stopping by, Brenda. Love, Carolyn

dear Carolyn I am pleased you found some positive and uplifting words in this poem our Father is so good at uplifting us in our down times. Down times I think help us reach up and out to look to His strength- for only He can truly sustain us and know us. Much blessings dear sister I pray your trial of whatever it is, will not be too long and through it, it will only make you stronger and deeper in Him, Blessings, Brenda Ox.
