“The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick along side it.” - D. L. Moody If my heart were without its kindness, Would You still restore my blindness… Reveal to me, the reality… Love, though sometimes silent – is alive and free, Offering the heart such sweetness, a peace Assuring the soul with hope that will only increase, Restoring the music, the song, the grace That comes to those who crave His embrace… If my soul failed to see the wonder of You, Would Your light, your love, still pursue? If I fail – if my faults color me in shadows of doubt, Would You still reveal the love that is about… Letting go of the past, giving up my sins, believing He is here, always offering second chances, relieving All my fears, all my tears, all the worries and concerns, Reassuring me that, in time, He is the One who returns… If my heart were without its rhythm, its beat, Would You still defeat… the sins, the shame, all the darkness and pain, reminding me that, with You, I have so much to gain. With You beside me, I have hope of eternity in paradise, I have hope because You came to us, paid the price, So that, when I die… I’ll have a new life, a new light One who reflects the wonderful that makes all things right!

Oh these is such a deep pondering upon many introspective emotions that often restrain our souls! Your descriptions and language is absolutely phenomenal dear Regina and I felt such vulnerability walking through your heart-touching lines ~ "If I fail – if my faults color me in shadows of doubt, Would You still reveal the love that is about" Those questionings ahhh, stirred my soul!! The light of divinity will always blanket us in stars of peace even if we are drowning in brokenness, beautiful!
