Desperate Call

It appears I am at a stand still
Nothing flows as it once did

Falling backwards ever steady
Yet not wanting to do so

My heart cries out for help
Cries not heard by human ears

A hand reaches for me
It seems so far away to take

It was me that moved away
For My Lord is dedicated and sincere

Oh how I pray that He will grab me
Pull me back to where I need be

A heart aching deep within
Feeling void of all feeling of love

Don’t let me perish this way!
Bring me back to where I once was

Make me stronger than before
Let Your Spirit fill me to overflowing

May my life have purpose and meaning
Touch me Lord, so I may be there for others

That is what we have to do, keep crying out for Him to show you what is missing. And when He does be ready for it, for it may not be what you are expecting. The one thing that stands strong in my heart now is to prove all things! God Bless my friend. Ron
