Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Genesis 19:26 "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
Somedays, I don’t feel Your presence
the gentle of Your light, whispering
flowing over my spirit, erasing
all the menacing memories, tempting me to worry
the ache of a past who hurts…
is it worth looking back – daunting, depressing, disheartening
the fears, the tears, all those years
before I felt You writing beautiful
into my story, my life’s narrative
before I knew that You would always be with me, breathing light
over my worst doubts, my worst dread, the worst I’ve been.
Somedays, I don’t feel You the way I yearn to
walking beside me the way You walked with Adam
the way You walked with Abraham
the way You walked with Israel
silencing every shadow with Your steady light, Your wonder
freeing the heart who feels lost, offering grace and forgiveness
offering a joy that only comes from knowing YOU.
Somedays, I don’t FEEL YOU
yet I still know You’re with me
guiding, inspiring, writing
the story of my life, the story that is mine
because You saved me from the worst strife
You filled me with hope and a purpose – to shine
Your light,
Your gentle light, glows from my heart, my soul
because You took the pen from my hand
and helped my soul to begin again
writing the story that only You could have planned
writing the story that comes from knowing, You’re there
even when my fears tell me that You’ve left me alone
through it all, I know… You’re still writing each verse…
each stanza, a light, reflecting what it means
to love without fear, to love because You’re here
to love unconditionally, generously, selflessly
to love because You’re with me,
always a light to fulfill me
always so bright – so vivid
Your pen, it keeps writing… so I’m sure
Even when I don’t feel You there beside me
there isn’t a doubt that You’re still writing!
