Love Comes Alongside

In tomorrow’s shadows

Worry waits to jump out

Disappointment crashes in

Filling waves with doubt

 

Aspirations seem dashed

Sunrise seemingly locked

Yesterday not forgotten

Seeing future blocked

 

Breath of sorrow surrounds

Hope seen flowing away

Another storm standing tall

Searching through its gray

 

Dreams no longer brightened

Today’s voyage postponed

Been at this moment before

Feeling self disowned

 

Freedom shares patient heart

Journey no longer drowned

Faithful love comes alongside

Sailing homeward-bound

Inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence.

It ain’t the roads we take; it’s what’s inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.

O. Henry, the pen name of William Henry Porter (1862-1910), was an American writer who mastered the art of crafting short stories.

Faith’s Risen Place

From Joel 2:12-13:  “Yet even now, says the Lord, return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing.  Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment.”

Even in our darkness

Hearing call from God above

Troubled waters’ rising tide

Vanquished by boundless love

 

Caught in sin’s wilderness

Mourning with daily fasting

Come now, embrace repentance

Trusted peace, long-lasting

 

Born in sin’s emptiness

Pursuing redemption’s door

God, create one more clean heart

Wandered away, no more

 

Broken righteous spirit

Escaping evil’s fire pit

Better days waiting ahead

Restored faith now submits

 

Hope’s journey pursues light

Thirsting for faith’s risen place

Glory waits at Calvary

Witnessed in Savior’s grace

From Psalm 51:10-11:  “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.  Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your holy spirit from me.”

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.

When we’re connected to others, we become better people.  [Both quotes come from Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” given on September 18, 2007.]

Randy Pausch (1960-2008) was an American educator and professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University.  His life was cut short by pancreatic cancer, but he persevered to share his final lecture a few months before his death.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.

Life is a blank canvas, and you need to throw all the paint on it you can.

Yesterday Forgotten

Traveling in darkness

Every winding road

Always going uphill

Bearing heavy loads

 

Filling with emptiness

Sadness ruptures heart

Simply seeking healing

Searching for fresh start

 

Collecting memories

Hope sheds one more tear

Often feeling numbness

Overwhelming fears

 

Witnessing tomorrow

Been here once before

Every step well-traveled

Waiting at backdoor

 

Envisioning sunrise

Source of everything

Yesterday forgotten

Knowing peace shall sing

From 1 Thessalonians 3:11-12:  “Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you.  And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for You.”

Arising each morning

Heart breathes in Father’s love

Praising pilgrim’s journey

Grace follows from above

 

Standing firm with Father

Hands of patient potter

Shaping this precious day

Mercy’s living water

 

Overcoming darkness

Light comes from Father’s Word

Taking in wisdom’s breath

Faith strengthened from what’s heard

 

Accepting Father’s plan

Truth breaks through evil’s crust

Walking in harmony

Submission brings man’s trust

 

Breaking free from bondage

Christ severs every chain

Paying sins’ debts with blood

In victory, He reigns

From 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10:  “For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with Him.”

Love is like a good piece of wood:  It just gets stronger and stronger as the years go by.

It’s not the beginning or the destination that counts.  It’s the ride in between.

[Both quotes taken from The Christmas Train.]

David Baldacci (born 1960) is an American novelist.
