God Reveals His Presence

God Reveals His Presence

The world we live in is full of cares, 
With strings of troubles, despair and tears.
Hearts are broken, dreams are shattered,
Nobody is spared, everyone has a share.

Some stumble down but try hard to rise up.
Some totally beaten with nothing more to dream.
Some still plod on but through aimless path.
A meaningless life, bitterness in the heart.

The struggle goes on as the battle rages.
Between good and evil, between life and death.
Man in his weakness, makes the wrong choice,
Takes the wrong path, lured by world pleasures.

He drifts farther away as he wallows in sin.
Won over by darkness God is forgotten.
But God never tires, still searches for him.
With mercy overflowing, ready to forgive him.

God speaks to him through his brokenness.
When inflicted with pain by his wretchedness.
As he cries out for mercy, helpless and beaten,
God reveals Himself, tenderly comforting.

So brother don’t despair, when troubles set in.
God is within you revealing His presence.
It’s His marvelous way of getting you back.
When you wander away from His precious flock.
