Someone to Love

Author Dana Redricks

I've searched my whole life for someone to want me, trying to fill the void with so many things. Heartbroken and lonely, in my heart long to be, wanted, and someone to accept me for me.

In the silence of nights when the tears softly fall, I hear not the world, but a voice through it all. God whispers to me, “I’m here, just trust in Me,” A promise of love that sets my heart free.

In the stillness, He comes, a peace like no other, a Father, a Friend, closer than a brother. His love, ever-present, so vast and divine, a love that says, “Child, you’re forever mine.”

He’s my guiding light, a voice so serene, through the shadows of doubt, He keeps my path clean.  
In His embrace, the emptiness fades, a life once so broken, now beautifully made.

No longer I search for what I once sought, for in His presence, I’ve found what is not bought.  Accepted, beloved, His masterpiece, I see, in Him, I am wanted, I am finally free.
