when the night is dark
remember morning always comes
just when the blackness presses in hard
dawn slowly lightens
the eastern edge of the sky
changing
from gray to red
to orange to yellow
culminating in radiance of sunrise
so too is hope slowly renewed
as His gentle touch pushes the
dark night of the soul away
the soul must hang on
to this hope
even when desperation
is covering like a blanket
and emotion drowns out reality
I understand the darkness
for I have been there
I have waited for morning
feeling all is hopeless
I have dreaded evening
knowing night lies ahead
yet even in the darkest
night of my soul I was not alone
He was holding me close
whispering words of love
singing over me
He used HUMAN touch
to remind me of HIS touch
so to the soul feeling the darkness
I pray you surround yourself with
those who love
those who care
those who remind you
that you are not alone
that what you feel is real
but will not consume you
allow His gentle touch to push
the dark night of your soul away
He loves you with a love
wide and long and high and deep
hear His words:
"fear not for I have redeemed you
I have called you by name you are Mine
when you pass through the waters
I will be with you
and when you pass through the rivers
they will not sweep over you
when you walk through the fire
you will not be burned
the flames will not set you ablaze
for I am the LORD, your God
the Holy One of Israel your Savior"
Isaiah 43:1-3
