He gave me a place to put my trust, yet sometimes it is hard to find that space
He gave me a shoulder to cry on, yet my tears made it hard to find Him
He gave me understanding, yet I can’t make sense of this
He gave me His hands to hold; yet I can’t feel His touch
He told me I could tell Him all my fears, yet I can’t speak because fear shuts my mouth
He watched me. He cared for me. He told me to pick up the pieces and try again.
He told me His arms were open wide, all I had to do was come.
Come to Me. He said. I care.
Come to Me. My love will strengthen you.
Come to Me. I am here.
Come to Me. I will not reject you.
Come to me.
But look where I am, I told Him
Look at the pain and suffering I’ve caused.
He said.
All that matters is that I love you. Come to me. I’ll make it better.
Come to me.
So with my heart convinced, and my thoughts wanting to rest, I come to you, God.
With my tears, hopes, and fears.
I come to you.
