Whenever we are struggling and we all do have struggles, read this to help reassure that YOU, ME, and ALL of Us are:
"IN SAFE HANDS
In the exquisite stillness of the deep night
When even the stars themselves have retired
To brighter pastures… and with them
Memories of another day gone by,
Here I lie in my thoughts and in
The returning consider all.
In my hall of memories
I shall give thanks…move on.
Meditate on my breathing
Out and in,
This is just my mortal skin
I will not stall,
My soul shall always live
Amongst the heavens, the stars.
I must not stall, tomorrow arrives
At my door unbidden, wrapped in velvet.
Sheathed in lace…or dirt
My inner thoughts…once hidden,
Are subject to the light once.
As I lay bereft in the dark
He knew the indecisions
The problems and the turmoil...
We had spoken earlier
When I had brought Him
Up to date with developments
So He whispered softly....
"My time is not YOUR time
And My ways..... not yours
As it is written, so it is"
For My Spirit never leaves you
NO, not in the coldest dawn
Not in your bleakest reckoning
For I know all
Even those secrets of your heart
The ones you dare not
Give voice to even Me.
And a peace invaded my spirit
As the realization dawned on me
I may often feel adrift, cast loose
On a tempest tossed sea
Where I cannot see the land
Sickness has betrayed my senses
And my compass is lost
So I cannot navigate the way home
But The Captain is in charge
and He steers a steady course
So I drift on into sleep
As the stars slowly merge into a new dawn
And the wind which whips the sails
Is no longer a threat,
More a saving...
For my long awaited horizon looms into being…
I am not lost, but found…I’m in God’s safe hands"
