Stability of Never



          "Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing.None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us." Romans 8:35-39 (MSG)



Tossing. Turning.
On familiar sheets
Beneath the weight of a warm duvet
and common thoughts.

How can I rest?
Belong?
How can I rise and protest
beneath the weight of complacency and weariness?

Hiding. Seeking.
On common ground.
Beneath the weight of frailty
and unanswered prayer.

When will you help?
Uplift?
How can I live
beneath the weight of weakness and pain? 

Searching. Crying.
On neglected pages.
Beneath the weight of hoplessness
and escalated fear.

Never will you leave me.

Your love will always:
seek me
find me
sustain me
remind me
keep me
heal me
fill me

I am never alone
