come out of something so painful?
can calm so peaceful
come out of a storm so furious?
can a song exquisite
be written out of
emptiness?
no song is more beautiful
than the one rising from
a heart so empty
a heart so broken
for never is a heart closer
to My own heart
than when
worshiping in
darkness black
the dark night of the soul
can be background music
for one lone melody
bending low to earth
than soaring to the sky
and bending low again
and on and on
for is that not life?
your heart longs for reasons
for answers
for knowledge
you long for all to fit
neatly into a package
wrapped in ribbon
tied with a bow
but do you see, My child?
that is impossible
for My composition
My plans
Myself
cannot be contained
in any one package
in any one song
from before time existed
before I spoke creation into being
when the morning stars sang together
when the angels shouted with joy
when with a whisper I brought
beauty out of empty space
before all this, My child,
I knew you
I loved you
and I still do.
when My fingerprints
are difficult to trace
lean into Me
I will hold you
when you wake in the night
gasping for air
call out My name
I will answer
because I love you"
your Abba
I will be with you
when you go through rivers of difficulty
you will not drown
when you walk through the fire of
oppression
you will not be burned up
the flames will not consume you
for I am the LORD your God
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior"
Isaiah 43:2-3a
So beautiful.
