Kindness of the Father to lead and guide
to love and comfort
to ease the pain of mortal loss.
He has seen His Son in agony
He knows travail.
He has promised not to leave us or forsake us
but we forget so quickly
and get lost in the maze of our own emotions
seeking for solutions that are not in Him.
He has this and He has you
if only you would be still and know.
Thrashing about as one drowning
you would take others under with you.
His strong hand will pull you forth
from the waves of your despair
and sit with you on the Rock of His Word
until your soul finds peace.
This day did not start well but tomorrow can.
His mercies are new every morning
and not just in the lyrics of a song.
He is tangibly present and incredibly kind
having justified you through His Son
there is nothing more to fear.
We tug at the edges of His presence
and feel we are not worthy of crumbs
but He has indeed prepared a banquet
for us in the presence of our enemies
fear, loss, longing, despair,
grief, pain, hurt,
can all watch us from afar
as we dine with Him.
