what is the heart to do
when it is there one day and
gone
the
next?
from what might appear
to be an 'inconsequential
detail' to the 'leave you drenched
and pounded by relentless waves'
detail and every size detail on the scale
in between ~
whatever the
reason may be ~
the rhythm of your life
the rhythm of your
heart's 'normalcy'
is. no. more.
how does the heart keep beating?
how does the mind keep from
running wild with 'what ifs'
and 'what will I do' and a host
of questions as relentless as
those waves pounding?
my heart has stood at this
very crossroad many times.
I believe every single heart
willing to be honest has stood
at this crossroad at least once,
more likely multiple times.
the crossroad or fork in the road
in essence goes one of
two directions:
either look inward
and outward for solutions
or comfort or whatever the
the heart is seeking
or look upward
into the eyes of
the One who loves
with a love so boundless
so limitless.
He stands with
hands and arms
outstretched to
bring the weary heart
close to His own heart.
He will take whatever
weighs that heart down
and resulted in the loss
of a familiar rhythm of life,
and not only restore
the rhythm but renew as well!
His hand gently weaves the new
into that which already exists
creating beauty indescribable.
and although that beauty may not
feel beautiful in the now, in time
the golden outline of His hand will
become visible as it contrasts the
dark spaces of a heart's pain.
and always life has rhythm,
for His heartbeat sustains.
