“Joy and light”

A poem…



Keep chasing after pure joy

Joy to believe that this space right here is enough

Joy to bring life back to a broken heart

Joy to hold on to hope even when things feel like they are tearing apart


And keep chasing after the light, no matter the darkness around you

You may not always be able to see where you are going in life, but God does

And days you may feel like giving up, but God will never give up on you


The Lord is walking with you, helping you fight your trials, holding you through the storm

And I know you are tired of wearing this thorn

But look at the King of all Kings having that worn

Undeserving pain, yet everlasting love

He understands us like no one else does


There is something better, something brighter on the other side of this dark hole

Beauty and details God has crafted into your future that are unique and untold

Peace and joy that you get to know

Healing from the places that feel torn


It may feel foggy and uncertain but we have a God of victory, a God who fully sees

And maybe holding onto Him through the mystery is simply all it takes to make it through the day

To find a place that is free


Even through the darkest sides, and the tears you cry

Where you’d rather escape or hide

Know that there is still light calling out to you

It is not lost and you can bravely take step by step knowing you’re being lead in the arms of the one who is the light of the world


There is so much more to your story

From the nights you sleep to the mornings you wake

He is with you always and will never forsake


It’s okay to mess up, to make mistakes

Because God covers them with His mercies

He makes your broken pieces mend

And lets joy find you on the other end



 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

- James 1:23
