Notes About The Poem
When you are feeling so low you think you'd have to reach up to touch bottom all you have to do is reach OUT and He is there to pull you up and give you new found purpose. When you feel so alone in the world that is when if you rech out to Him He will answer and let you know that you have never been alone, you just weren't paying attention to The Man beside you waiting for you to notice Him. In truth I cn tell you I have been there and if it hadn't been for My Personal Savior, Jesus I would be either dead or a drooling idiot in a padded cell somewhere. He was with me just recently when I was in hospital with a ruptured appendix. When I woke up He was beside me and stayed with me all the way. He kept my spirits up and gave me strength.
The Emptiness
I Yearn:
For a feeling of belonging.
To be seen as an equal,
Liked and accepted just as I am.
I need someone in whom to confide,
and know that I will neither be judged
for being less than perfect,
nor have my confidence betrayed.
I need a Friend.
I Pine:
I want to be seen for who and what I really am,
and not judged for it but accepted in spite of it.
I need to feel loved.
I Hunger:
For a sense of oneness with another.
To be able to love and be loved in return.
To trust and be trusted,
and to know these feelings are well founded.
I need a mate, a soul mate.
It hurts to reach out in the darkness and find no one there reaching back.
It's frightening to be alone.
But wait,
I felt --- something.
Soft, warm, gentle.
I heard a faint sound.
A quiet call.
Someone knows I'm here.
Someone knows my name.
I reach out once more.
Someone grasped my hand,
with such gentle strength and compassion,
such quiet reassurance.
I peered into the darkness,
and saw a single tiny star shining in the distance.
The more I leaned toward it the brighter it got,
until it's light filled the universe.
I searched for the source of it's light.
Then I saw it, The Source.
It was Him.
He is The Light.
He is The Source.
He is warmth, love, acceptance,
shelter, providence, power, grace,
and more.
He is all I have ever needed.
He is my Savior.
He is God's Only Begotten Son.
He is Jesus.
