the heart
beats faster
hope relentless
when giving up
giving in
seems the only option
His hope
softly
patiently
relentlessly
finds the hurting heart
that hope comes
wrapped in packages
simple yet stunning
ordinary yet astonishing
hope is seen in the dark
velvet sky of night
His fingerprints
in the stars
moonlight
is soft
its glow
casting shadows
He paints the night sky
with gentle strokes of
His brush
in hues tender
renewing hope
slowly pushes night away
a myriad
of colors
culminate in
the radiance of sunrise
hope is His gentle
radical
audacious
relentless touch
and slowly but surely
that touch pushes the
dark night of the soul away
to be replaced with love and light
and grace and hope.
always hope.
always there is hope.
do not give up, hurting heart.
no darkness exists that His
light cannot pierce.
you. are. not. alone.
ever.
"for the mountains may move
and the hills disappear
but even then My faithful love for you will
remain
My covenant of blessing will never be
broken"
says the Lord who has mercy on you
Isaiah 54:10
