How do we begin again when all we know is the old?

How do we obtain the energy to step out and be bold?

How do we continue living with no one to lean on?

when someone special suddenly dies and we’re left alone.

The answer is on the inside; of generous doses of love,

filtered by the Father; outpourings from above!

A day is as a thousand years in our Fathers eyes.

Yet, He hears our desperation and the pain in our cries.

He offers a soothing balm from one person over here. 

Then another one comes along to catch that next tear.

Before long, rays of pure sunshine filter through the dark.

Finally, on a new journey, the wounded is ready to embark.

But, He was wounded for our transgressions.  He was bruised for our iniquities.  The chastisement for our peace was upon Him.  And by His stripes, we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5
