Despair threatens our very sanity at times; still, there is hope in God.
The water's rising rapidly . . . rising . . . swelling My soul sinking in despair as the storm consumes hope rendering barrenness to my soul The deluge falls relentlessly . . . falling . . . drenching immersing my faltering mind in a torrent of sorrow Can pain pierce any deeper cleave my battered heart in two? A touch on my shoulder . . . lightly . . . barely felt A mere breath . . . of what? . . . of whom? A stirring of perception awareness of a presence . . . a Presence Uncertain glimpse of the essence of life God . . . here . . . even in the darkness His Spirit gently restoring as the warmth of his grace penetrates One breath at a time . . . breathe . . . breathe One beckoning ray of hope as He lifts me, reviving again . . . Awesome, this coming back to life . . . Life Renewed hope and courage soul infused with peace . . . His strength First a whisper, then a river flowing from His wellspring of love He is sufficient for me. "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." from 2 Corinthians 12:9

Very inspiring. Is God presence, an idea, or something else? He is something different to all of us. But he gives us hope in bad times.

AMEN! WE HARDLY UNDERSTAND WHY GOD ALLOWS SOME THINGS TO HAPPEN BUT THIS WE KNOW; WHATEVER HE ALLOWS HE HAS PROVIDED THE STRENGTH FOR US TO GO THROUGH IT. HE WOULD NEVER GIVE US MORE THAN WE CAN BARE(PS 42, PS 4, PS 121, IS 26:3). WONDERFUL WORK, CONNIE...PRESS ON IN THE LOVE AND POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM WE BELONG - FOREVER! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

A poem of descent and return, into the depths and back in the arms of the Beloved. How beautiful is the grace and blessing. A fine poem. John

Excellent poetic expression how great it is just knowing His presence. Well done Connie!
